The one thing we have to remember and that both Snape and Harry 
forget is you have to give respect to get it.

Harry can't stand Snape from the beginning.  Even after finding out 
that Snape was protecting him, he did nothing - no thanks, no "I'm 
sorry", nothing. He still goes on to think the worst in Snape.

Snape is Snape and nothing will change that!  He hates Harry and 
loves to see him in trouble.  He gives him occulmency lessons under 
protests (it seems) but is unwilling to answer Harry's questions.
