I just reread the section in OoTP where Harry visits Snapes memory. Alot of people suggest that he hates Harry because his eyes remind him of Lily. And that during the scene where James hexes Snape - he gets embarrassed because Lily sticks up for him and out of anger calls her a Mudblood. After reading that scene again, I think the only reason Snape dislikes Harry so much is that he is a spitting image of his father and a constant reminder of the embarrassment James and Sirius caused him during school.

Harry sees his father taking his O.W.L.S and Rowling makes it clear again how closely Harry resembles his father. And the next scene of James and Sirius hexing Snape is downright mean - Snape is minding his own business when they begin hexing him and Harry is pulled out of the pensieve before he finds out if James takes Snapes underwear off.

I think there is going to be a major surprise next week regarding Snape (he is a good guy) and Lily in book 7, but not necessarily that they were in love, but maybe?

I just finished re-reading HBP. Lily was loved by everybody and even better at potions than Snape. (Per Slughorn) Voldemort was not even going to kill her if she would just step away from Harry. (Yep..believe it or not...its there) but he zapped James without a second thought.

It seems the only time Snape really goes crazy is when its suggested in any way that he’s a coward. (How significant is this?)

Dubbledore was just about to reveal something to Harry about Snape when they were leaving to go after the fake horcrux. Something extremely significant happened to convince Dumbledore Snape was sorry and on their side, I just can’t even guess what. (Being in love with Lily just doesn’t seem significant enough.)

Only a week to go.....
