I keep wondering if maybe they kept Snape's hatred for Harry out of the movies because it wasn't kid-friendly. If so, that just isn't right!

I admit, the late Richard Harris didn't do a very good job as Dumbledore. Supposedly Michael Gambon is portraying Dumbledore more like he is in the books. I hope so! It's sad that Richard Harris passed away. But ...he had made it clear that he wasn't enthusiastic about his role in the movies from the start, and it did show!
