> > 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.

> YES, YES in the books it builts and builts and builts and blows up at the end of HBP, tension between them, here I feel no tension, no hatred, etc.

> And have you noticed at the end when Snape chastises Harry for using his spell against him, he does not say - you and your filthy father, another attempt in my opinion to make Snape look not as bad, not as crazy confused between Harry and his father as I see him in the books.

Carol responds:

Along those same lines, I'm betting (hoping) that the filmmakers won't have Harry casting a Crucio and McG calling it "gallant" in DH2.

Carol, who also noticed that Sirius Black was less brooding and self-centered in the OoP film than in the book
