the most accurate snape quote i’ve ever read by someone on a forum: “Risking himself to save others is the pattern of a man who believes in a good beyond himself, his own interest, his own loves and hates. For those who believe Snape can only be motivated by revenge- keep in mind- he had his chance at revenge on Black when Black was unconcious after the Dementors attack. What did he do? He conjured a stretcher and delivered him to Pomfrey for medical attention, in sharp contrast to Black’s own recent treatment of the unconscious Snape, dragging him and bumping his head into things. Snape changes over the course of his lifetime. Snape never becomes a nice person. He does become a good one.”

dumbledore: …and what do we do when someone hates us for no reason?

snape: give them a reason.

Harry Potter arrives sick to Potions class one day... hijinks ensue.

Poor Ron didn't catch what was happening in time (but he means well :)).

(Also, please, someone check in on Harry; the kid hasn't slept in three days.)

Set in Order of the Phoenix!

Potions lessons took place down in one of the dungeons. It was colder here than up in the main castle and would have been quite creepy enough without the pickled animals floating in glass jars all around the walls. Snape, like Flitwick, started the class by taking the register, and like Flitwick, he paused at Harry’s name. ‘Ah, yes,’ he said softly, ‘Harry Potter. Our new – celebrity.’

I think it’s telling that to prove Snape wrong about Harry's nature as a person, Dumbledore says "in appearance he looks like his father but inside he's more like Lily".

He doesn’t even say "James had good qualities that reflect in Harry".

He's admitting that James was a bad person and that if Harry's good then it must be his mother's influence.

Ironically, I think this Occlumency lesson was one of the most amicable interactions between Snape and Harry. Harry leaves a nasty little injury on Snape’s wrist, but Snape seems unbothered, and doesn’t get angry or annoyed with him. Snape sees a dog chasing Harry up a tree in his memories with his family laughing, and he’s like, “Hey… whose fucking dog was that, man…?” I wonder why else he would comment on it except out of concern. Obviously he doesn’t care whose dog it is because he thought it was cute. Oh, and he compliments him!
