You're asking for rationality about a highly emotional matter, I'm
not surprised Snape can't oblige, few people can. Actually Harry has
done things to Snape, disrupted his class with a firework, stolen
from his stores, talked back, broken rules and put himself in danger
forcing Snape and others to get him out of it. Not to mention getting
Sirius off! Now I admit some of these things were perfectly
justifiable - but of course SS doesn't.

I think he does know that - he doesn't hate Harry because of his
father, James just prejudiced him against the boy. He hates Harry for
himself these days.

I can't recall Snape trying to kill Harry at any time. That Harry
forswore personal vengence in Peter's case is greatly to his credit,
and may be to his and the cause's ultimate advantage. But he
certainly hasn't forgiven him, and I doubt he'll be particularly
civil the next time they meet.
