Ahem.  My two cents worth.

I would be very surprised if, after a very long time, we learn Snape 
really truly IS evil after a very long time of the book explaining 
how Snape has turned to the 'good' side now.  Knowing this, we can 
only assume that it's only for the memories in the Pensieve that 
Snape hates Potter.

So Snape hates Potter, Potter hates Snape.  Both are at fault.

>From the beginning of the first Potions class, Harry has never tried 
to even be nice to Snape--in many cases, he has given Snape plenty 
of reasons to hate him.  Granted, while Snape made the first "move," 
Harry didn't act like a wonderful little person and accept it but 
not fight back... he just fought back.

D-Dore at one time says that it's an old man's mistake to realize 
that old scars cannot heal.  (Or something to that effect.)  So, 
Snape has to realize Harry is not James... but he consciously makes 
himself believe that every Potter is the same misbehaving brat.  I 
don't think this will ever stop.  If Harry tried to befriend Snape 
now, or atleast politely address him and reconcile their 
differences, it might work, but only because Snape should realize 
Draco is the same bad DE-type as his father.

At the end of the seventh book, this issue will surely be resolved.
