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.

vmonte responds:
These quotes are horrible aren't they? Dumbledore must know something 
about Snape that perhaps maybe even Snape is unaware of. I would 
never allow this kind of person to teach my child. I wonder if 
Dumbledore's trust in Snape is different from what we think it is.
