I can't agree with that one.  I once had a Supervisor that was as 
useless as she was good at sucking up to those above her.  I was once 
called into the Manager's office and told that I had to respect my 
Supervisor simply because she was my Supervisor.  I told him that if 
that Supervisor managed to slither her way up to being the President 
and CEO of the company that I would STILL not have one iota of 
respect for her because she was not worthy, regardless of title.  I 
believe Harry has reached this point with Snape.  He gave Snape 
cursory respect when he was young because Snape was a Professor.  Now 
Harry is growing up and has realized that a title means nothing, and 
he no longer has any respect for the person beneath Snape's title.
