Alla:

I wonder if we again argue semantics here. Again, all that I am 
saying is that I strongly believe Harry's anger at Snape is by no 
means irrational. 
Now, to me  to act irrationally or to think irrationally or to blame 
someone irrationally means "to do things without any logical reason 
or without any evidence for it, etc."

If you apply different meaning to word "irrational", could you 
please tell me?

Now, I am not saying whether Harry is right or wrong to blame Snape. 
To me it LOOKS like he is right, but I am perfectly willing to 
assume that Harry is wrong again and Snape was doing his best to 
help him to learn Occlumency, etc.

You admit that Harry has a just reason to be angry at number of 
people (Snape is among them , right?)

And then you are saying that because Harry does not SPECIFY what 
exactly he blames Snape for, that is irrational?

I mean, isn't that clear? He blames him for everything Snape did to 
him this year. Pick any event  and Harry will have a just reason to 
do so.


Whether Snape was harming Harry during the lessons or whether he was 
wrong to stop them... Any of those two makes Snape to be in the 
wrong, so again why Harry's anger is irrational?


Just my opinion,
