Alla:

Well, no, we don't know IMO that Harry must overcome hatred in order 
to tap into his power. What we do know IMO or at least can assume 
with reasonable degree of certainty is that Harry **must not hate" 
to tap into his power.

SO, I think that it is quite a reasonable assumption to make that if 
Harry's hatred for Snape stops his powers from developing or from 
him tapping into his **love** powers, again, no matter how they will 
manifest, then it would be better for such hatred *never to exist* 
rather than for Harry going through *overcoming it*.


And based on what I said above it would not be Dumbledore not 
allowing Harry to hate anymore, it would be Dumbledore stopping 
Harry's hatred from developing from the beginning.

And I honestly fail to see anything **but** positive in this 
development.

Say Dumbledore, who watches Harry closely, sees how Snape attacks 
him after the first lesson.

What do I think DD should have done? Sit Snape down and let him know 
some harsh truths about Harry's life, at least trying to appeal to 
Snape's humanity ( if there is any humanity left in this bastard) 
and to make him see that Harry is not James.

And yes, if after such conversation Snape woud have continue do what 
he does to Harry, I think Dumbledore should have put him in the 
place as boss puts his employee in place. As Headmaster of the 
school puts the teacher in place. Too  bad of course that Dumbledore 
as Head of the order of the Phoenix may have different things in 
mind for Snape IMO.

JMO,

Alla.
