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.
