Nikkalmati:
"Handsome is as handsome does" applies to Snape in all his dealings with  
Harry.  You can't be deceived by the nasty comments of SS or the POV of  Harry; 
JKR is pulling the wool over our eyes.  If you look at this scene in  GOF, 
where Harry is desperately trying to get to DD to tell him Crouch is out by  the 
Forbidden Forest asking for DD, Snape is helping Harry.  The purpose of  
holding him up is to be sure he sees DD as soon as possible (without actually  
seeming to help).:>)  Harry can't get into the stairwell because he does  not have 
the password.  He is dashing for the stairs to go down to the  Staff Room when 
Snape comes out of the stair and calls him back.  He knows  DD is coming down 
right behind him so he hold Harry there (probably on DD's  orders), until DD 
steps out of the stairs and can go with Harry.  
 
"Perhaps Dumbledore was in the staffroom?  He started running as fast  as he 
could toward the staircase-- "POTTER" Harry skidded to a halt and looked  
around.  Snape had just emerged from the hidden staircase behind the stone  
gargoyle.  The wall was sliding shut behind him even as he beckoned Harry  back 
toward him.  "What are you doing here, Potter?" . . . . . The stone  wall behind 
Snape slid open.  Dumbledore was standing there, . . "Is there  a problem?"
