Poor Snape, people are so mean. i'll never understand why Harry was so mean to Snape, sure Snape was mean to him (though sometimes Harry deserves it, he could be a real pain in the rear end as a teenager and was constantly putting himself and his friends in danger from year one, even Mrs. Weasley yells at her kids) but Harry was generally compassionate, and forgiving to others even when they treated him badly (sure he was angry at them at the time but he didn't hold massive grudges with them like he did with Snape), it just doesn't make sense to me. it just seems so out of character for Harry. i expect Snape to be mean and hold grudges because that's part of his personality. i expect James to be mean to Snape because he was an arrogant jerk (at least as a teenager.) i don't expect Harry to be so mean and nasty to Snape because that's not who he is! i'd expect Harry to show Snape compassion and kindness even though Snape is mean to him (i think things would've been so different between Snape and Harry if Harry had shown him some kindness and forgive him like he did with most people, i think Snape and Harry's relationship would've been so different.)
