Absolutely, Harry will have to mature in his dealings with Snape, but 
I think it is a given (to me at least) that he will and he already 
did quite a bit in GoF. Children eventually grow up. But I would be 
just as dissappointed if by the end of the books Snape would not 
learn that insulting the parents of your orphan student may not be 
the best way of teaching this student. Harry is growing up both 
physically and emotionally. Does Snape? I really hope that he will.
