As to hating Snape all of those years- when Snape shared his memories with Harry - more memories than he needed to as Harry only needed to know the last memory with DD - Snape was being vulnerable to Harry for the first time - I felt like it was an olive branch. -as the French proverb states, "To understand all, is to forgive all."
Well, Severus had an alternate motivation in showing Harry the other memoriesn which was trying to make Harry trust him and believe the memories were real- because there were definitely many times in DH that if Harry had been told this by Snape, he would have had serious doubts and possibly a plan of Voldemort's. But then again, everyting with Severus is a double-edged sword.
I love the French proverb- it seems very much like something Harry would live by. Err, kind of. At least in and after Deathly Hallows.
