What I was alluding to and no one took the bait on was Dumbledore's 
perception of Harry's (non)relationship with Snape.  I've argued 
before that the mutual hostility there finally bore fruit, in 
Harry's not remembering/unwillingess to go to Snape as a member of 
the Order.  [Enclosed in there is an argument I will defend if 
requested about trust and fear being mutually exclusive--and Harry 
does have some fear of Snape, because Snape is capricious in his 
exercise of power.]  

Alla:

Absolutely, Nora. Harry does fear Snape, not as strong as Neville 
does, but he is being afraid of Snape. 

"Wondering what on Earth it was doing here, he jumped when Snape's 
cold voice came out of the corner.
"Shut the door behind you, Potter"
Harry did as he was told with the horrible feeling that he was 
imprisoning himself as he did so" - OOP, p.529, paperback.

"Harry threw him a filthy look before doing as he was told. He did 
not like the idea of standing there with his eyes shut while Snape 
faced him carrying a wand" - OOP, p.535, paperback.


And since I did added some canon to illustrate your thought( 
hopefully), I think I can with clear conscience say " Amen" to  fear 
and trust being mutually exclusive.
