Alla:

To each their own of course and I am not picking on you, I just saw this argument so many times and it never ceases to amaze me. Harry, a boy whose parents are dead in part because of Snape should apologize to adult Snape, who as far as I am concerned grossly mistreated him throughout the series, and for how his father treated him no less?

Yes, this seems to be Snape's motto indeed that children are responsible for the sins of their fathers, but apology from Harry?

One would think that James being dead at 21 no less would gave Snape all the personal happiness he needed without tormenting his boy.

One of my personal dissapointments with the series is that I never heard Snape apologizing to Harry. Simple "I was wrong Potter" after "Look at me" would have been enough for me.

Although as far as I am concerned Harry's forgiveness of Snape, dislike it as I am, at least showed me that Harry IMO turned to be ten times better man than Snape ever was.

JMO,
