Snape and Pettigrew's obligation to James and Harry respectively

JKR has specifically indicated that Peter Pettigrew owes Harry a special  
debt because Harry saved him. So I think it's clear that Pettigrew will at least  
have to try to do something for Harry..I wonder what...?
 
Perhaps that special obligation is a clue to why Snape has acted the way he  
has. It's been suggested that because James saved Snape's life, that Snape 
owes  James. Okay, so Lord Voldemort killed James before Snape was able to repay 
his  obligation. Harry shows up looking almost exactly like James, and Snape 
is  absolutely furious. He feels compelled to save Harry in the Philosopher's 
Stone  because of his debt to James. He's stuck with protecting Harry, but 
hates the  task and Harry in the same way he hates James.
