You're probably right.

DD's insistence on proper modes of address wouldn't bother me as 
much if there was any indication he was also putting pressure on 
Snape to treat Harry better. I want to know if DD is also correcting 
Snape in private to refer to Mr. Potter more respectfully as well. I 
just get the feeling that everyone seems to want Harry to go the 
entire way when it comes to Snape without Snape making any effort at 
all to keep up his end of the respect bargain.
