Actually yes I do. I think he might be a little fond of Harry, because Harry reminds Snape of Lily. He just can't show these feelings because he's a Death Eater, and all..
No, I don't. I think he wants to like Harry and he wants him to be more like Lily and less like James, but Harry constantly disappoints Snape. Unfortunately Snape seems to bring forward James' traits in Harry. And because of the way Snape treats Harry, Harry is never able to show Snape his more positive Lily like traits. The more Snape antagonises Harry, the more Harry behaves like James, the more he behaves like James, the more Snape hates Harry...it's a vicious circle

I agree but I believe he likes Harry deep inside, because he is intelligent enough to see Lily's side in Harry. Still, as you said, Harry shows his James side more when he's around Snape and this is something Snape never forgave.
No. I think he only protected and helped Harry because letting Harry die would be letting Lily's death be in vain, and he knew that Lily would want him to protect her son.
Dumbledore asks Snape if he's come to like Harry in one of the memories in The Prince's Tale. Snape replies by creating a patronus, showing that it's still all for Lily.
