>I don't truly understand where this idea that Harry is being 
disrespectful comes from. Other than peaking into his pensieve, 
Harry is almost always perfectly respectfuly to Snape--at least by 
the standards I use in my own classroom.<

Betsy Hp:
I think part of the difference is between new school and old school 
standards.  Hogwarts is definitely old school and by old school 
standards Harry is a bit cheeky to Snape from day one and throughout 
the books.  Harry *doesn't* respect Snape (for almost the entirety 
of PS/SS he thought Snape was his mortal foe) and he treats Snape as 
he treats the Dursleys.  With subversive digs and asides that the 
Dursleys are too slow to pickup on but that don't slide by Snape.

>Harry gives all the respect Snape's position afords him inside the 
classroom that Snape is due and little respect outside the classroom 
because outside the classroom Snape hasn't earned any.<

Betsy Hp:
As per old school, Snape has earned the respect Harry is told to 
show him, inside the classroom and out, by virtue of being a 
teacher.  Full stop.  Snape doesn't have to *do* anything to earn 
respect because he's not only an adult, he's a professor at the 
school Harry is attending.  Harry could walk in on Snape drunk out 
of his mind and collapsed in a pile of naked witches.  Harry would 
still need to address Snape as professor or sir.  And he'd do well 
not to smirk. :)
