I also wanted to add that:

In the years that follow, he takes what little pleasure he can in making the boy's time at Hogwarts as unpleasant as legally possible. While doing so, he learns that Lily Evans' son is as foolhardy, arrogant and stubborn as his father ever was. Snape learns that Harry Potter is useless at potions, has a nasty temper, cannot focus for the life of him, has no respect for his superiors, and would have been killed long ago were it not for the help of his friends and sheer dumb luck. Snape learns all this.

And he loves him anyway.

This was just gut wrenching. It really got to me, having to read Snape's anguish over all the years he's spent in love with Harry, who is now a boy and who Snape couldn't outwardly blame for things that have yet to happen... and yet, even though he feels such betrayal and such injustice, he still loves Harry.
