I've mentioned that to my wife, how closely the story mimics Star Wars. However, Luke didn't kill Vader, he essentially committed suicide by throwing Palpatine over the rail.
Snape all but gave away the farm as he left with the death eaters, telling Potter he needs to improve his occlumency, parrying his curses with blocks, instead of fighting back. And then there was the whole scene in the bathroom where Potter basically ripped Draco's face open, and Snape responded by making him re-sort index cards?
I think ultimately, Snapes dislike of Potter stems from his desire for Lily, Harry's mother. He's disgusted that this cocky little brat is James's son, instead of his own.
