There have just been too many times that  Snape has been quite alone with  
Harry and has still been grossly  mean and totally unfair.  Why put up the  
act 
when you don't  have an audience?  Was he just pretending to be so mean  in 
front  
of Harry so he could keep in practice (form). I don't believe   it.

LariLee's response

Who says they didn't have an  audience?  After all, Harry's picked up  quite 
a 
bit of  Voldemort's thoughts and feelings from the scar on his  head.  How  
do 
we know it doesn't work both ways?  After all, Voldemort  is  much more 
experienced and capable in Legilimency then Harry ever became  in  
Occlumency.  That's 
why Dumbledore refused to teach him  Occlumency, isn't  it?

Does this mean that people who treat Harry with contempt are undoubtedly  DE? 
I disagree. Snape can hate Harry and still be a loyal member of the Order. I  
find him all the more honorable for that.
