kill him?  Except for the pensive, Harry has never hurt Snape.  Snape 
hurts Harry all the time.  Why would Harry thank Snape, the man who 
goes out of his way to make his life a living hell, and would do 
worse if he could get away with it?  Snape would laugh in his face, 
or deny it, or hate him even more.  Why should Harry?

sachmet96:
But Harry and the others have hurt Snape. They attacked him in the 
Shrieking Shack which left him unconscious, banged his head against 
the ceiling. I would consider that as hurting someone? And he never 
was punished or apologised. 
I don't agree with Snapes behaviour toward his students (though I 
myself prefer teachers who don't coddle students) but he has reason 
enough to not like Harry.
I don't think Harry should apologise as he most likely wouldn't mean 
it anyway, but he should be punished for his behaviour (not only 
towards Snape), because he gets away with rule breaking too easily 
(he used an unforgivable, was in the Forbidden Forest, left the 
school grounds, in PS/SS he also went to places he shouldn't have 
been and it's no excuse that through pure luck he managed to do 
something positive like saving the stone, stealing, the list goes on 
and on).

much 
and who thinks that Snape could try to be a little more considerate)
