Elissa:
This is very close to an idea about Snape's behavior I've been
cherishing since reading HBP, though I think it is more of an
emotional response for Snape, rather than frustration with Harry's
progress. Dumbledore claims that revealing the partial prophecy to
Voldemort is the greatest regret of Snape's life.  The way Snape
treats Harry and Neville (though I know this is often argued about
here <g) is the best evidence to my eyes, that Dumbledore is correct
about Snape's remorse. <snipped theory>

Tinktonks:

I love it, I love your views on the whole thing. I think you
interpret the books very similarly to the way I do. Sometimes I find
it hard to believe that people think Snape is evil.

Personally I loved his motivations and I think that it is great that
he is this emotionally tortured character who is ALWAYS misunderstood or cast as the bad guy.

What intrigues me is that in an interview with Alan Rickman (just the best guy to play Snape or what) in a film magazine that was so long ago I cant remember properly, it said that JK Rowling told him
something about Snapes back story that would help him play the role
and understand the man.

I have fun hypothesizing what that could be.

Any clues?
