Snape may embarrass Harry by singling him out during dueling practice. He could point out Harry's mistakes harshly and in a condescending way. For example, he might say that Harry's spellcasting is amateurish compared to his father's, which hits a nerve with Harry and makes him feel embarrassed and angry at the same time.
In some fanfiction, Snape embarrasses Harry by making sarcastic remarks about his fame. He could say something like 'The great Harry Potter can't even answer this simple question' when Harry fails to respond to a magic - related query in class. This makes Harry feel like his status as 'The Boy Who Lived' is being used against him in a negative way.
In many fanfictions, Yondu might embarrass Peter in front of others. For example, he could share an embarrassing childhood story of Peter's. Maybe he tells how Peter was afraid of a small alien creature when he was little, which makes Peter blush in front of his new friends or a love interest.
Another way Snape could comfort Harry is by standing up for him in certain situations. Maybe when other teachers or students are being unfair to Harry, Snape steps in and defends him. This act of protection can be a great source of comfort for Harry, as it shows that someone is on his side even if they have had a rocky relationship in the past.
Snape could initially be skeptical. Given their long - standing enmity, he might not believe that Harry's apology is sincere at first. He might respond with a cold glare or a sarcastic comment, like 'Potter, your apologies are as empty as your head.'
Snape could also use his magical abilities in a more emotional sense. He might share his own past traumas with Harry, creating a bond of understanding that starts to heal Harry's broken spirit. By being vulnerable himself, he shows Harry that it's possible to move past pain.
At first, it's likely to be very tense. Snape has always had a grudge against Harry because of his father. But as they live together, they start to see each other's true selves. Harry might see Snape's vulnerability and intelligence, while Snape might see Harry's courage and determination that are different from James's arrogance.
Often, it starts with intense dislike. Snape is constantly critical of Harry in class, deducting points for the slightest mistakes. Harry, in turn, sees Snape as a bully.

In some fanfictions, Snape might punish Harry by giving him extra detention tasks like scrubbing the cauldrons in the Potions classroom until they shine. This is a common form of punishment as it's within Snape's domain as the Potions master.
At first, it could be very tense. Harry might be reluctant to submit, but as time goes on, he starts to see Snape in a different light. This could lead to a grudging respect.
