Alla:

Actually yes I knew that you were talking about DD!M Snape and I was 
talking about DD!M Snape as well, hehe. Because I do not think that 
the issue will ever come of non DD!M Snape teaching anybody.

I was expressing my hope that even DD!M Snape would not be imposed on 
Harry. I think it is cruel, yes, I know JKR put Harry through some 
very very cruel things, lol. But I do believe that if he survives 
that his life gets somewhat easier, not worse.

I do think it would be quite sadistic to Harry if he survives to see 
the man who helped sell his parents to Voldemort as his teacher.

Yes, I hope Harry would move on, but I believe that any friendly 
understanding between them is not possible after HBP.

Believe it or not before HBP I liked reading about scenarious where 
some sort of grudging understanding comes between these two, but 
after HBP I sincerely doubt that.

But do not get me wrong, I do respect your wish, if you want Harry to 
continue suffer. After all, after seeing Harry survive, there is 
nothing more I would **love** to see at the end of HP other than 
seeing Snape humiliated and /or destroyed forever.

So, I totally respect what you want, I just hope it will not come 
true, just as I am guessing you hope my wish would not come true.
