One of the main reasons I find this argument tiresome is that at the
ripe old age of 15, uncurious-to-the-point-of-braindead-sometimes
Harry Potter is in no position to decide whether Snape deserves
respect or not.  He knows next to nothing about the man's life and
actions, except the snippets he's heard from others, and without a
more complete knowledge of Snape I really don't see how a teenager
can make a sweeping assumption about whether or not he "earned"
respect.

Lupinlore and Phoenixgod will rush in to claim otherwise of course
but I don't find their arguments at all persuasive.

over the same ground again and again)
