While I agree that it wouldn't be a good idea to have
Snape impersonating Harry, can't you just picture the
fun that could be had with Ron or Hermione making
reference to something that they talked about with
"Harry" to the real Harry, and Harry starting to think
he might be going insane or something?  The
perspective wouldn't have to be shifted at all - we'd
still follow Harry on his adventures and probably
wonder along with him if he's losing it when
everyone's positive he was doing stuff he *knows* he
didn't do!
