Potioncat:
Do you think Snape had been hating Harry all these years since Lily's 
death--and was prepared to keep hating him?

I can imagine he may have resented the fact that Harry--who was the 
reason Lily died---had survived. But I'm not sure I can understand that 
he was prepared to hate the boy on sight.

Would Snape have reacted the same way, do you think, if Harry had 
looked more like Lily?
