Why should Harry be expected to listen to anyone at Hogwarts?

Juli:

So, yes, Harry should treat Snape with respect, whether he 
feels that respect and whether or not Snape *deserves* that
respect. In doing so, Harry's not doing it for Snape but for 
himself. If you stoop to someone else's level, what are you
proving, after all, except that you have the capacity to be
an equally disrespectful person? (IMO, of course)



Alla:

You are letting that person know that his/her bad treatment will not 
be tolerated by you. It is most certainly NOT appropriate in all 
situations, but I think that VERY appropriate in Harry/Snape. Sure, 
Harry could not fight back while he was eleven year old boy, but he 
is coming of age in the last book and it looks like he will be more 
powerful wizard than dear Severus.

Please, JKR, please, before you will do "all is forgiven" staff, 
please let Snape feel some of Harry's annoyance with him, which 
surely bottled up for five years. :o)

I would love to see Harry and Snape dueling for example and Snape 
being on the floor. :o)


Just my opinion,

Alla
