I agree with this. Harry is kind of passive, but as has been suggest 
before, it may possibly be due to the fact that we're seeing the 
world through his eyes. That's what often makes me doubt 
the "realness" of the descriptions of other characters: we all see 
things differently, especially, perhaps, in our teenage years. So as 
for Snape, if this was Hermione's story, he might not be all that 
unpleasant. We've got to rely on Harry, and his reactive nature. 
That's why I don't like him. He's... dull.
