Valky:
You know, IMHO this thread is just too hard on Harry.  Frankly, 
Harry respects Severus a great deal more than Draco ever will.
And I agree with Nicky Joe, Lupinlore, SSSusan and Alla and others 
who point out that he has much less reason to. Student/Teacher 
relationship or not, Sevvie gets more respect than he deserves from 
Harry.

And BTW I like Alla would like to see them come to blows in a feisty 
melee, I don't think that will be stooping on Harry's behalf, it 
will be an experience for them both.
