Is it possible Snape is delibrately being as hard as he possibly can on
Harry in order to prepare him for his final confrontation with Voldemort?

By constantly sniping and critising, etc., he's not allowing Harry to
either rest or become complacent. He is, in effect, keeping Harry alert
and on his toes.

And, in a similiar vein, I wonder about the tests Harry has been
undergoing. Each has been progressively harder for Harry to solve and
has required him to seek out the aid of both Hermonie and Ron. Again,
I wonder if these situations are being set up delibrately by Dumbledore
in order to harden and prepare Harry for the final confrontation?
