    Well, I mentioned it before, but I'll add my  bit again. I 
*think* that JKR added this in the book to show how both Sirius and 
Snape both have the same wrong view of Harry. They think he's James.
Sirius tells Harry this, basically, and I think that's why it took 
him so long to show up at the end. He was still depressed about 
losing his best friend again. 
    Will Snape and Harry ever get close? I can't say, but I might 
hazzard a guess and say that if something really bad happens to 
force them to have to trust one another, they might, but otherwise, 
I can't really see it happening.
