Not in my opinion, no, as far as I am concerned Harry was spot on about Snape. He sensed since the very first lesson that Snape hated him and in my opinion this is exactly what books showed us. And JKR confirmed in the interview, but I know that interviews are not books and could be easily ignored. I am just saying that this is exactly what I am reading in canon and I like that this exactly what author's intentions were, to show that Snape hated Harry till his dying breath I  think that when Harry has all the  information he is often quite  right about what is happening.  So of course he was wrong about Snape's loyalty but not about Snape's opinion and feelings towards him in my opinion. And when was he wrong about Hagrid?

Yeah he believed Sirius killed his father and it took Sirius what? Two minutes to convince him? I think Dumbledore took much longer and Harry took pretty big leap of faith on the stranger.
