I personally Think that Rowling merely used Snape to
act as a pseudo- archenemy for Harry in the first 4
years, kind of in preperation for the much bigger and
important battles he will face in 5,6,7. I think the
end of the 4th book symbolized the official end of
Snape's unneccesary punishments to Harry. I believe
that Snape served to show how Voldemort's treatment of
Harry is so much worse and villianous than the grudge
that Snape holds against him. I think that Snape will
be one of the strongest anti-Voldemort leaders (His
treatment of Karkaroff; willingness to show dark mark
to Fudge). I also think that after being chased down
by Voldemort himself, Snape will sacrifice himself for
Harry, and that Snape is the "fan of Harry" that
supposively dies in Book 5. In the first 4 books,
Snape definately is hard on Harry during class, but he
definately rewards hard-work, and we never see Harry
complaining about a low grade in Potions.

Please feel free to respond
