The thing is though, there's two quite separate issues here.

Firstly, there's the issue of whether Snape's behaviour is OK, but 
secondly, and separately is the issue of whether Harry's response 
to that behaviour is OK.

There's a lot of people posting in this and related threads that I 
can see who disagree quite strongly with Snape's behaviour - but 
nonetheless, considers Harry's response is also not appropriate.

Do bear in mind that saying Harry has some responsibilities and 
should behave in certain ways, doesn't mean excusing Snape.
