Zara:
I don't get the impression Movie!Harry thought Movie!Snape was a good guy. As a result, I think it is quite possible that movie-only audience members may take Movie!Harry's view of the matter (which it seems you did).

I would also add that the beginning/middle of the last book were quite wonderful to this reader, who was pretty sure Snape was a good guy after reading HBP, which suggests a movie could also be to such a viewer.

My impression was that Harry responded as a student should to a figure of authority.? Professor Snape motioned Harry to be quiet and Harry obeyed the command.? The situation did not alter Harry's opinion or feelings about Snape.? Both Dumbledore and Snape issued instructions for Harry to be quiet and the boy followed those instructions.

I was so shocked and disgusted at the changes in the last movie from the book that I still haven't been able to sit through the entire dvd. 

I just am clueless why they thought any of the changes were necessary. I can understand shortening things and consolidating or eliminating some elements. However I just have no idea why they changed the movie so much that it was barely recognizable to the book other than the characters were the same. I truly hope that they do a better job with the last 2 movies. Otherwise they'll have taken what was promising to be a wonderful series of movies and ruin the last few. It's almost like they just through it together willy nilly with no continuity that I could see. Sorry but to me it was one of the worst movies I've seen.
