Yes, besides in order not to sound as complete "me, too" Nora, let's 
not forget that being "out of Snape sight" for twelve years did not 
stop Snape from continue hating Sirius. Moreover James is "out of 
Snape sight" as Betsy put it so completely as in " he is dead" and 
if THAT did not stop Snape from letting go, I am not sure that 
seeing child who looks like him will not trigger the hate right away.
I don't think that anybody will dispute that Snape still hates 
James, right?

In any event, my point being is simply that I have no doubt that 
Snape can hate Harry the moment he saw the boy. Does it mean that I 
think he has unresolved issues as Nora put it? Oh, yeah. Plenty IMO. 
Does it mean that I think that he had any right to SHOW to Harry 
that he has those issues? No way, IMO.
