SSSusan:
I *should* stay out of this and let Pippin respond, but I must ask:  
Are you *sure* what Pippin described was all about Harry realizing 
Snape is an OK guy??  That's not how I read it at all.  In fact, I 
don't think Harry *will* think that; rather, I think he will just 
come to a place where he can master his feelings enough to SET THEM 
ASIDE around Snape much better than he has been able to before.  He 
can still loathe things about Snape; he can still despise his 
treatment of people; he can still think he's not okay; and yet 
acknowledge that he's an ally in an important way.
