I think Severus was trying to make a point here. He was being difficult on purpose in order to express a sentiment that he might have been unable to say any other way. Harry might not be his perfect dream companion, but maybe dream companions are not real ones because a relationship with a person like them wouldn't have worked, anyway. Sometimes our likes and dislikes don't actually match our needs and it's probably for the best that Severus is at least conscious of the fact that, despite the misgivings of his head, his heart chose his partner wisely.

Thanks for taking the time to both read and review. Your lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :)
