>>Away from Dumbledore, Snape must be bursting with resentment towards
Harry 'the hero' and anything associated with him, especially as he is
instructed by Dumbledore to protect him. His hatred of Harry spills over
into heavy penalties for Gryffindor and nasty asides to Harry's friends -
the only ways he can slave his bitterness. <<

By George I think you've got it !!
This helps me to understand why Snape would interfere with Harry seeing
Dumbledore in the hallway outside his office in Book 4. Harry was
obviously in a hurry to get Dumbledore to see Crouch, and Snape held him
up! He didn't need to show his Slytherin loyalty in that case because
noone else was around. He obviously has a problem when Harry wants to
speak to Dumbledore. I think he is 'jealous' of Harry's relationship
to Dumbledore!
