So, Snape/Harry again.

What the most of us would want, it's a truce/friendship/familial 
relationship between Harry and Snape. I think it'll happen in the 
last months of the last year, because it's how it's work.

I explain:

In the TV series, it exist the 'Moonlighting syndrome'. Moonlighting 
was a serie with Bruce Willis. The two protagonists had the usual 
relationship between a man and a woman in the TV, films...it's to 
say, not very friendly. Just enough to wish more, like every shipper. 
When it happened, the serie wasn't interesting anymore. The fights 
between them was the fun in the show, not how they'll manage to be 
friends or more.

Now, in the new series, they try to avoid this 'syndrome', in holding 
the 'chemistry', the ship, without sinking it . Mulder/Scully, Loïs 
and Clark was an failure, Sydney/Vaunght (Alias) a success.


If Snape and Harry were friends now, if they'd stop to provoke each 
other, should it be still interesting? 

Maybe Jo didn't change anything (visibly) after/during OOTP because 
it'll kill the spark ?

Imagine, Snape [insert fanfic cliché of your choice] and end to be 
nice with Harry. Harry, happy to have a new father figure, begin to 
[insert another cliché] in the beginning of the 6th book. Won't you 
think that the books would lost something ?
