What I meant to say was Harry will start seeing Snape as a human being. At 
the end of GoF, my feelings were he saw that there was more to Snape than meets 
the eye, but that he was still a person to be loathed.  He's still Harry's 
least favourite teacher. 

I don't think he's going to start liking Snape.  Even if he does take time to 
think about what happened, I don't know if he'll delve to deeply into it.  
We've seen from his experiences with Cho and Sirius's death that he's not that 
good with handling/interpreting emotion well.  At least not yet.   

I think at one point Harry actually says he feels sorry for Snape.    

Maybe would I should've said was Harry will start/continue to look at Snape 
in a newer light.  I doubt it'll make him fall in love with the man, but... ^^
