A nice thought.  I sort of agree, but not totally. IMO, Snape doesn't hate 
Harry, but he doesn't like him either. When I was younger (and even now 
sometimes) when someone was mean to me I assumed they hated me. I think the 
thing with Harry is that Snape seems to hate him without any reasonable 
explaination. The Dursley's "hate" Harry because he's a wizard, the 
Slytherins/Malfoy "hate" Harry because, well, he's the Gryffindor who nearly 
defeated LV. Not to mention some others inbetween. Snape, on the other hand, 
just seems to hate him. 

I'm of the mind that Snape thinks along the lines of someone who thinks "If 
you save my life I owe you mine." 

Maybe Harry is Snape's promise to James. It would work if your theory is 
true. It makes me think of a line Dumbledore said in SS/PS

"...Now he can go on hating your father's memory in peace." 

Or something like that. Well, maybe Severus isn't at peace. Maybe he never 
will be until Harry never needs protection. 

Now comes Why I think Severus dislikes Harry part. Harry is driving him mad. 
Harry doesn't seem to get the full scope of things and doesn't appreciate 
that, in his own way, Severus is trying to do something nice for him. 

But what I was attempting to say before was that Harry might want an 
explaination for why Snape hates him (even if Snape doesn't hate him) and has 
not gotten a satisfactory one. 

However! I do not want to turn Severus into a nice guy. I like him just as he 
is: Sadistic, surly, and overly petty ^^  I'm only saying he isn't rendered 
incapable of doing something nice.
