 I do agree that Snape really DOES think Harry is mediocre, but I am also absolutely certain that in Harry's latest year Snape was definitely poking his hooked nose into Harry's thoughts for a reason. And it wasn't to
reassure himself that Harry was mediocre. 
In short I would assume from your argument Rachel, that you could too
imagine that Snape *wants* to be the Hero of the story. To my mind,
this is the only thing that canon on Snapes attitude to Harry's Auror
ambition does *not* contradict from some angle.


 
Yes, certainly, we are agreeing here Valky.  I hadn't thought prior to this that Snape was searching Harry's mind for clues on how to defeat LV himself, but I can see now that is probable.  Perhaps Snape expects Harry to die, then future plans are irrelevant.  Or perhaps Snape could care less about Harry's plans for the future.  Harry would not have been in Potions in HBP if Snape had been teaching it-maybe Snape is simplistic in his attitude toward Harry's career choice and does not want Harry to have anything that Harry wants because he hates Harry.  If Snape is a glory hound (and I do think he is) then he would not want Harry to be an auror,which could be another venue for Harry's popularity in the ww.  I am most anxious to see how Snape is revealed in the next book.
