Yes, he hated Harry's father. And Harry was the reminder that Lily had preferred another man.
Severus protected Harry because of his love for Lily and of the pledge he had made to Dumbledore when she died - the infamouse "Anything".
What I loved in the last movie is the line added in the script as it is not in the book : "You have your mother's eyes..."
He hated Harry for his looking like James but every time he could see Harry, he could see Lily.

Every time I read the chapter"Prince's tale" , my eyes fill with tears. how can someone have so deep love within & yet pretend to be someone without feelings? Good answer mate. the question was more an expression of my sorrow& frustration on Severus than a query. All the same,thanks.
