Potioncat:
Good catch! Harry had another dream in SS/PS that involved Draco, 
Snape and LV, but I can't say there was any connection later on.

A bit of irony I found is this. In one of the books, I'd guess CoS or 
PoA Harry says or thinks something along the line of "as likely as 
being adopted by Snape." Given that Snape swore to protect Harry, and 
had been watching over him at Hogwarts, he had, in a manner of 
speaking, adopted Harry. I wish I could remember more about the 
quote, or what it pertained to. I do know it inspired 
countless "Snape Adopts Harry" fanfics.
