I can't help thinking that Snape's dislike of Harry is something more 
than a crush a long time ago on Lily or a childhood prank. It is too 
deep and bitter. Snape hated Harry from the moment he saw him without 
even giving him a chance. No, IMO there is a reason for Snape to hate 
Harry himself. Could it be that Snape is jealous for some reason? He 
is ambitious and is absolutely furious when he realises Sirius has 
escaped. He is correct in assuming Harry is involved but his fury 
extends further than rule breaking. He cross that an old rival has 
escaped but also that he loses the recognition for saving the trio 
and bringing a supposed DE to trial. Could it be that his hatred of 
Harry is due to the WW not recognising an earlier achievement - one 
for which Harry has unknowingly taken the credit? Was Snape present 
at Godric Hollow at the fall of Voldemort? Was he the real reason why 
Voldemort failed to kill Harry? Did Snape kill Voldemort and prevent 
Harry from being cursed? If so, it would account for Harry's survival 
and Dumbledore's trust. The question would be 'why does the wizarding 
world not know about it'?

Eagerly awaiting OoP.
