Jenny from Ravenclaw is here to defend her dear Harry!

First, I must ask you, Jazmyn, why you see Harry as spoiled, as well 
as ungrateful and bratty.  He does have his faults (be them few and 
far between), but spoiled?  Who has spoiled this boy?  I think it's 
amazing he has such good manners at all, considering he was raised 
without being taught more than "Keep your mouth shut and don't touch 
anything!". 

Then, I must agree with Darrin (as several others have already) in 
that Snape really should be the adult and deal with Harry in a more 
respectful way.  It might be a lot easier for the two of them if Snape 
didn't constantly take shots at Harry.  I keep talking about being a 
teacher, but I can't help it; I love my job.  Now, my kids can be very 
nasty, and I mean NASTY, but that doesn't mean that I give in and 
curse at them, or put my head down on the desk or tell them that 
they're all wack and boring, etc.  Snape not only gives in to every 
opportunity to be nasty to Harry, but he actively looks for them.  He 
is wasting time and energy on Harry that could be better spent on 
himself (a good hair washing would do, for one).  He really does go 
out of his way to pick on, embarrass and make things more difficult 
for Harry.  There is not a single student in my school who merits that 
kind of time from me.

Harry often seems baffled by Snape's behavior and it *is* telling that 
he is able to decently make a potion when Snape isn't there to 
intimidate him.

I *do* agree with anyone who says Harry should have apologized to 
Snape and that is where he messed up.  But to harbor a grudge against 
an orphaned and abused kid because the kid's dead father was a jerk 
twenty-whatever years ago?  How can that possibly be okay?  How can it 
be healthy for Snape?  Come on, already and just let it go!  James is 
dead!
