Potioncat:
I'd like to see some behind the staff room door scenes too!  We did 
see one in Chamber of Secrets when Snape manipulated Lockhart with 
the other teachers following his lead.  And there have a very few 
comments by McGonagall that have several of us thinking she and 
Snape at the very least respect each other.  No idea what he might 
say about Harry.

As far as Harry making the first move....I just can't see it.....not 
while he's still a teen.  I'm not sure if all of Snape's "loathing" 
of Harry is for real or is partially an act, but I don't see him 
making any effort in the near future either.  As long as he may have 
to face LV, he needs some unpleasant Harry memories to toss out. And 
as long as there is a chance LV can look into Harry's head Snape 
needs for Harry to honestly dislike him.
