Jen: I'm not sure someone like my bro-in-law disliked Snape after the AK though, you know? Sees him as evil and on Voldemort's side, yes, but not necessarily feeling strong dislike toward him. More 'oh man, I was fooled about Snape.'
I don't think it's weird for you either, because the movies leave out so many of the incidents that made some people hate Book!Snape, like taunting Harry and delivering the prophecy. Even the little moments such as Snape blocking Harry from seeing DD in GOF built up into a case against Snape. The Occlumency lessons in the movie are different, too. It's not the same relationship in general; Movie!Harry shows dislike of Snape but not rage because there aren't many reasons offered to hate him.
