OK, let me rephrase: How do we see Albus' intervention in light of Severus' intentions for his relationship with Harry?
Was Severus deliberately hostile to Harry because of a plan of his own (such as maintaining his DE image)? If so can he really complain that Albus plays into that hostility? And how did Severus hope to have Harry trust him when needed (such as in the Shrieking Shack)?
