Alla:

But that is my problem. First of all , even if James made Snape's 
life miserable, I think that Snape made his fair effort to make 
James' life miserable in return. How about Snape's exercising a 
little of rational thought and realising that James did not really 
get away with it? He is dead. I know, Snape would not have been Snape 
if he started thinking rationally about Potters. :)

What behaviour of Harry Snape wanted to nip in the bud? What 
arrogance? Was Snape afraid of Harry by any chance? 

How does Snape know that Harry is arrogant, when he just arrives at 
school.

Potioncat argued that Snape did not know about Harry's life at 
Dursleys, but then was he briefed by Dumbledore about Harry's role in 
what is coming or wasn't he?
