Carol responds:
I'm not sure what your point is here since, as we know, Harry is wrong
in his assessment of Snape. I'm merely saying that Snape *does*
observe Harry on occasion without antagonizing him, exactly as you
think he ought to do. <SNIP of the rest of the post>

Alla:

My point is that Snape observes Harry when he already antagonized him 
and when Snape already in my opinion made his incorrect conclusions 
about him.

I would have wanted Snape  to observe Harry **before** making 
conclusions about him.

So, yes, sure Snape sometimes observes Harry, but my point is that it 
does not matter anymore to their relationship which Snape (in my 
view) screwed up on their first lesson.

Oh, *we* do not know that Harry is wrong in his assesment of Snape. 
As far as I know Harry is wrong about Snape being loyal to Voldemort, 
but as far as I know Harry was also spot on in deciding that Snape 
hated him and always did till very end. I make the conclusion that 
Snape hated Harry till very end  among other things based on Snape 
being so indignant (for him?) when Dumbledore asks about it. And of 
course, while I know that interview is just an interview, I am 
pleased that what I read from the text is the same what author 
intended, since JKR did say that Snape hated Harry till very end.

JMO,
