That's my.. 'Unpopular Opinion' i guess, Since the answer 'NO' is winning
Snape never gave a single sign of sympathy for Harry.
Even though he's an orphan.
People're all like "Harry's such a bitch for not-knowing Snape well and hating him...." What the hell?
Snape was never good to Harry, he was awful to him and all of his friends.
It has nothing to do with sympathy or whatever. Parents and adults in general have to have these sides, they are very structuring for a child's psyche. Severus is one of the teachers that influenced Harry the most : see the Expelliarmus spell, which became Harry's signature spell. Who taught him that ? Severus !
Contrary to what even Severus say, Harry paid attention. He remembered that bezoars are anti-poisons, for example, something he had heard in first year (and read in the Half-Blood Prince's book). We tend to remember fondly how our parents, professors and adults we met as kids, could be harsh sometimes with us. That's because we feel how right they were, how their severity helped us to build our personality. I think the Expelliarmus spell is a good symbol of this (defense, protect and standing for oneself, an important trait of Harry's character).
So yes, Severus is an important father figure to Harry.
Also, they really weren't connected. Yes, some parents are strict, but these two hated each other. Snape went out of his way to single Harry out, dock him marks and points, and Harry did everything he could to twart Snape whenever the opportunity arose.
There was no love and there was no respect. Yes, their relationship ended up being an important one, but I don't think it was a "father/son" one.
