Geoff:
Yes, but can you see Harry going to Snape and saying, "Professor, I 
realise now that my father was awful with you (or something similar!) 
and I want to apologise on his behalf."

Can you see him after the way Snape has reacted in earlier books? 
>From the word go, in PS, he set out to humiliate Harry - look at the 
very first Potions lesson HP ever attended. He has specialised in 
making snide comments or comments with a sting in the tail.

Would Harry attempt a reconcilation when he is conditioned to expect 
rebuffs, rudeness and put downs?
