I would like to emphasize that Harry is my absolute favourite 
character in the books. So, first and foremost I care about what will 
help HIM, not Snape: what will heal HARRY, not Snape. Again I can't 
help but think that this is very strange reaction for me. :o) and I 
guess part of JKR genuis. :o)

Usually, I care about "grey" characters much more than I care about 
Heroes themselves in the similar genre.

I have to think whether the fact that Harry is an orphaned child is 
the main reason that I want hug him and make it all better? :o)

Yes, yes, I know that we are not talking about real people here. :o)

Now, Snape is third on my list of favourites, but if Harry gets to 
vent some of his frustration at him, I would only welcome such scene 
in the books.

I guess we are talking about degrees here.

 Because that although I don't want the books to mirror the reality 
completely, I want the emotions and human relationships resemble the 
reality close enough.

I believe that it is INCREDIBLY UNFAIR to expect that Harry will be 
better than Snape at 15. It is just does not happen in reality and I 
don't want it to be otherwise.

At least when he finally graduates and defeates Voldy. :o0

Yes, but sometimes it is unrealistic, right? Snape still is not over 
his.
