Thanks, Kneasy!  This first hit me when Snape, in PoA, told Harry off 
for sneaking into Hogsmeade, which made Harry livid; yet, when Lupin 
said almost the same thing to him a moment or two later, he was 
contrite.  As seen through Harry's filter, Snape was wrong and Lupin 
was right!  This pattern has continued throughout, and it will cost 
perhaps him, and certainly others, the same price that Sirius paid 
when Harry "forgot" that Snape was in the Order and ran off to save 
the world himself.
