Me:
I didn't really notice any change in Snape's attitude, except perhaps 
when Harry used the Shield Charm to break into Snape's memories.  
Otherwise it was the usual demeaning, sarcastic Snape.
"That is just as well, Potter," said Snape coldly, "because you are 
neither special nor important...."(pg 591 Oop, US)
"You are lazy and sloppy, Potter, it is small wonder that the Dark 
Lord--"(pg 593 Oop, US)   etc.  etc.
Wishful thinking on your part Buttercup, I think.
