I disagree.

I have read all the books and seen all of the movies and think that Snape has more moments of viciousness in the books ("I see no difference" to Hermione's teeth growing comes to mind. Ouch!) But he also has more moments of likeability in the books. Also, the books are from Harry's perspective. Harry is a child then teenager and arguably, therefore, does not yet have the capacity to understand the moral complexity of people he doesn't like.

Snape is my fave character because he is so 'grey' a character. Neither likeable nor unlikeable. Harry naming his son after him, is proof to me that Harry saw past Snape's 'meanness' in the past and recognising that he was, indeed, a very human character, and pay homage to the fact that he was a very brave man, to do what he did.

I agree. I think if Harry says he thinks Snape was brave then that's what he thinks. It doesn't retroactively make Snape a good person but I think Harry must have really thought that if he went so far as to name his kid after Snape.
