That's very interesting what you've just said... I think it might be possible. 
Just look at Harry's attitude towards himself. He always want to prove himself 
(and the others too) that he is worth calling a hero etc. Without even 
knowing it he is behaving in such way. And we all know that he is not 
unintellingent and he will soon realise that he "has to" prove to Snape that 
he is not like his father, that he is not like Snape thinks he is, that Snape was 
wrong. Without realising that, he will want to maintain this image of the 
young hero who is always on the good side. 
He wont certainly let Snape think he is right in comparing him to his father. I 
think it's very Harrys. He will show Snape that he was wrong even if he has 
to start showing him some respect...
I'd really love to read about this... I think it will also give JKR some good 
opportunities to write funny situation etc.
