Ah, Harry *shouldn't* have to, and Snape *is* the adult, it's true.  
But will Snape change?  Do you think?  I have my doubts.  And if 
Snape isn't going to change, then I want to see Harry choose to 
become the mature one and to change himself so that he can get 
himself where he needs to be in terms of preparation to fight 
Voldy.
