Just making sure:

"What" isn't *quite* a question here. It's closer to "So, you think that...?"

(I know your English is very good, but this part is pretty colloquial and hard to explain, IMO)

Oh ok, I thought it was a sign of surprise... Thanks for the explanation ^^

Yea, it's often used in a reprimanding tone, like:

- What, you think you're too good to see your old friends now that you're famous?
- What, you're going to lecture me on something I already know?

I guess the closest meaning would be: "Are you seriously telling me that...?" with a frustrated tone.

(ok, lesson over ;-)

Hmm then I think the best way to translate it was the first one I used :P
