I think you're right about Snape. Despite the many attributes which make him

unpopular with Harry- he has put his life on the line to work for the Order.
Consider that if Snape was too nice to Harry whether Draco and the rest of
the
Slyths would wonder whether he was really a deatheater.

I was just wondered if anyone noticed a likeness in these two? Snape 
keeps victimising Harry because he sees James Potter in him. Sirius 
becomes increasingly friendly with Harry because he also sees James 
in Harry.

Also, I'd like to say more about Snape. Am I the only one who 
sincerely admires him? He's a very interesting character who has 
clearly had a painful past. In fact, I wasn't that sad about the 
death of Black because I was still holding a grudge against him 
after reading 'Snape's Worst Memory'.

It sounds cheesy but I think all Snape needed in his life was some 
affection. I don't believe he got it from his shouting parents and 
he was a loner in school so he initially chose to side with Death 
Eaters. But after Dumbledore invested trust and friendship in him he 
bravely became a spy for the Order. Therefore, I think it's safe to 
say that Snape's lack of affection during childhood has resulted in 
a bitter adulthood.

Let me know what you think.
