Alla:

Hmmm, we certainly saw signs in PoA that Snape resents Dumbledore, 
IMO. You know " his only hope is that Dumbledore would not 
interfere", " you have not forgotten Headmaster that he tried to kill 
ME"  and "my memory is  as good as ever" ( paraphrasing, don't have a 
book with me).

I think hatred can grew up  from resentment very nicely and if one 
could assume that PoA was a turning point for Snape... 


Besides, if one takes Lupinlore's speculation that  the argument in 
the forest was about Snape not wanting to watch over Harry anymore as 
a possibility, we can see even more resentment.

And when chance comes, Snape takes it. :-)


JMO,

Alla.
