It is always an interesting possibility that Harry will retaliate 
against Snape in some way.  I think there may come a time when he is 
faced with the choice of exposing Snape as a member of the Order or 
protecting him.  For me I think he will protect him thus evening 
the "score".  Snape has also constantly made a point of telling Harry 
that he is not in any way special.  I found his comments in the 
Occlumency chapter in OotP most interesting.  At that point he KNOWS 
there is something very special about Harry, and if it is true that 
Snape is the one who overheard the profecy then he would have know 
before for Harry was born that he was special.  

In the section you quoted Harry says "a hate he has not felt since 
that night at the Dursley's".  He does not say a hate comperable to 
what he felt at Bellatrix Lestrange.  He has shown himself capable of 
hurling a hex in the moments following total devestation, but he has 
also shown himself capable of feeling great compassion for Snape.  I 
don't believe he will attack Snape, I think it is time for Harry to 
show Snape who he really is in book 6.  He is getting mature enough 
(or at least old enough) to stand his ground with many of the adults 
around him, including Snape.

By the way, as totally compelling as it is, I HATE the idea of 
Voldemort snaking his way into Harry's mind and creating havoc there, 
too sad! :(
