Pippin:

But Harry, at the end, won't be a child any more. Even without an 
epilogue, he'll be nearly eighteen at the end of the seventh book, 
and he'll have lived as a legally adult wizard for nearly a year 
(assuming he survives, of course). Though  Harry has every 
reason to resent the way Snape treats him, I will still be 
disappointed in Harry if he does not stop behaving like a 
resentful child by that time.  Even if Snape is still acting like a 
resentful child himself.  It would be so childish of Harry to say,
"I'll act like a grown-up if he does."

I'd like to see Harry forgive the child within himself for being 
frightened of Snape, and then perhaps he can start seeing 
Snape as not so scary. I mean, the kid's fought Voldemort -- isn't 
it about time he stopped being intimidated by Snape?
