> Carol again:
> I think that a lot will have changed after OoP, and Harry is going 
to have to learn to be less angry and arrogant and to take Snape in
stride. Moreover, if Dumbledore ordered Snape to give Harry complete
information, I'm pretty sure that Snape would obey. To my knowledge,
we've never seen Snape disobey a direct order, even one he doesn't
like. It appears that he told Harry as much as he could about
> Occlumency and why it was needed in OoP. It was Dumbledore who 
didn't want Harry to know about the Prophecy and *why* he should 
stop trying to have the dream. 

Alla:

Dumbledore is very much at fault here, but for all his faults, it 
seems to me that his intentions towards Harry are good, which I 
cannot say about Snape yet.

That is why I vote for Dumbledore having enough common sense to keep 
Harry and Snape apart at least till Harry overcomes his grief.

As to Harry being less angry and arrogant.... well,as soon as Snape 
manages to stop being "semi-hysterical hypocritical sadist" (I 
decided this nickname by Lupinlore is much better than simply 
sadist), I am sure Harry will learn to do that.

Before Susan will say something about Snape's impossibility to 
change, I will concede that I believe that Harry will change 
regardless, but I still can dream that Snape change, can I?
