Alla:

Harry does not blame Snape's action on the life-debt, Dumbledore 
tells Harry that this is why Snape saved his life. Of course Harry is 
going to listen to him, IMO.

Alla:

I would be surprised if Harry will be capable of such despicable 
thing as hating innocent child. Harry already does not hate Draco 
Malfoy, while not having any tender feelings for Lucius IMO.

I think that Harry would have made an effort to not blame Snape Jr. 
for the sins of his father. IMO of course.

Alla:

In other words what I hear you saying is that you expect Harry to 
realise that he was wrong, wrong, wrong towards Snape, but Snape 
should be spared any such thing and should be alowed to merily go 
forward *alive* without realising that he was wrong about Harry?

Keeping my fingers crossed that this is not going to happen. Sorry.
