Alla:

Opinions are varied on that one, but I am absolutely convinced that 
Snape could not care less about Harry as a person and never did till 
he died. Him answering DD question whether he grew to care for Harry 
is in my mind confirming it 100%.

So, my answer is no. And I am very happy that JKR thinks that as 
well :)

NO, I do not take her answer outside of the text, to me it is just an 
extra support of what I think on that topic. To me text itself is 
clear.


BUT Snape certainly cared that Harry should live as part of Lily, as 
Lily's son, which was certainly more than I ever expected.

JMO,
