Call me off the mark... but I'm also beginning to think that Snape sekritly craves Harry's approval and acceptance, the way Harry's done for all the adults around him like Lupin, Tonks and McGonagall. But he also knows at the same time that's NEVER going to happen because of his own intolerable attitude.
But he wants it anyway.
Maybe if Lupin sees Harry as another James or is constantly reminded of James, Severus actually sees Lily in Harry. And the whole Harry=James thing is his close-to-the-truth cover.
Heh. God, I love theory-spinning. I believe it was femmequixotic who was the first person on my f-list to think that Snape was the HBP several months ago and I agreed with her. Hee.
