Alla:

Whether Harry's fear is  justified at this particular moment is 
irrelevant to the point I am trying to make. That point would be that 
during their interractions of the previous five years Snape made 
Harry develop that fear and at that point this fear as I see it 
materialised and lead to how Harry felt during those lessons.

Alla, who thinks that Snape torturing Harry may still be in store.
