If we are to believe that Snape is an expert at getting into the 
kids minds, then he has known for a really long time what Harry 
thinks of him, I am reminded that in Book one on a skim through, 
during a chapter involving Christmas, when hagrid is bringing in a 
christmas tree....Harry actually says about Snape and Draco I hate 
them (paraphrasing) but he did say I hate, so....I see that if Snape 
has been using his mind reading skills on Harry at least some of the 
time, he would obviously get the I HATE YOU VIBE. Neither one have 
really given each other a chance I think, and thats the problem.

It sorta reminds me of the whole Teenage Parent thing, at some point 
around 11-17 most teenagers pretty much think their parents or any 
authority figure is dumb...its when the most arguments between 
parents and kids happens it seems. Teens end up sometime even Hating 
their parents and having big drag um out fights and yelling matches 
over things....but a lot of time, in the end teens learn that their 
parents really did have their best interest at heart, even when it 
looked like the adults were really stupid....




Sherry now:

I don't blame the enmity between Snape and Harry on Harry from the start.
In the very first potions class, Harry didn't know Snape from any other
teacher and had no reason to feel hatred.  Snape immediately began to pick
on him and showed his nasty immature nature.  After all, as we learn through
the series, Snape hated Harry from their first meeting solely because of who
Harry's father was.  This is childish in the extreme.  Snape is the adult,
and the blame goes squarely on his shoulders.  I don't think Harry and Snape
have a parental love/hate relationship.  Snape has never been a parental
figure to Harry.  Snape hated him before ever getting to know him, before
Harry even knew there was any reason Snape could believe worth hating him,
and before Harry had developed his own hatred of Snape.
