Pippin:
Harry doesn't always feel angry at Snape --  often he's very scared,
for example when he's caught on the grounds in CoS, or near the 
one-eyed witch in PoA.

And what happens to Snape's statement that anger will make Harry 
easy prey for the Dark Lord? Is that now supposed to be a lie? That
would certainly turn the "Snape sabotaged the Occlumency lessons
by making sure Harry was angry all the time" theory on its head!
