Why should he do that when Snape didn't apologize for poking into
Harry's very private things; and if he had apologized he'd really feel
like a horse's rear end now when he discovered that the man he had
apologized to was the murderer of the greatest and kindest wizard of
the age.

You can't apologize for what somebody else did, or maybe Harry should
apologize for existing, or at least for being his father's son. Any
sympathy I had for Snape when I first read of that bulling incident
had largely evaporated by the end of book 5, even after all the hell
Harry went through and it was obvious he was in a deep depression
Snape couldn't resist tormenting Harry a little more. By the end of
book 6 I felt that James was far too easy on Snape, hanging him
upside-down was not nearly good enough, he deserved more, much more, I
wish he'd disemboweled him.
