Hi (first post - I'm John from England}
Could it be that seeing Aunt Marge's dog chase Harry up the tree is 
the start of Snape starting to think differently to before about 
Harry? Okay, so the Pensieve incident soon after will probably have 
wrecked this, but it could be a first step to Snape tolerating Harry 
more (although I can never see him actually liking him) as he sees 
that Harry's childhood was not unlike his for hardship?
