Of course the problem with that idea is that the reason Snape's never going
to make a move to improve his relationship with Harry is he's perfectly
happy with the way the relationship is - a hate/hate relationship is fine by
him. As far as Snape's concerned Harry's an annoying, arrogant, spoilt brat
who he has to teach twice a week and who occasionally his boss forces him to
work with as some kind of torture. No doubt he also feels that he was doing
Harry a big favour by giving up his time to teach him occulomancy and Harry
decided to waste that time by not trying and then decided to invade his
privacy for no readily apparent reason. So I can't really see him accepting
an apology particularly gracefully.

He doesn't want to make things better between him and Harry - he wants to
never have to spend any more time with Harry ever again!
