I think Snape did and that's why he made that passionate little
speech about "foolish" people being easy meat for the Dark Lord. 
That was quite a little bit of autobiography he came out with there
and we should ask - why?  Why at that time?  

Because he saw that Harry's life was NOT what he'd expected and he
assumed (as he always assumes) that Harry will understand what he
means.  But Harry was so angry that the moment of epiphany slipped
past.

Just as Snape is so angry when Harry has his moment of epiphany that
he throws Harry out of the office.

These two came so close - twice - and still missed each other.

Prats.
