"Twenty some odd children and yet you’re the only one who comes back into the castle with frostbite.”
Harry sighed. So they were back on that.
“Look on the bright side. At least I came back at all.”
Professor Snape scowled. “You are not nearly as humorous as you believe yourself to be.”
OR
It's the winter holidays, and Harry just wants to play with his new friends in the snow. If only Professor Snape didn't have to be such a fuddy-duddy about it.

“He seems to be under the assumption that since the Dursley’s are no longer his legal guardians, he has nowhere to stay this summer.”
Severus scoffed. “And I suppose an orphanage would be a better option as opposed to myself.”
Albus shrugged casually. “Is he aware that you’re even an option?”
“Well of course he…” Severus trailed off, frowning. “Why wouldn’t he?”
“You’re not his legal guardian,” Albus offered bluntly. “While you have done a lot for him, you are certainly in no way responsible for his welfare.”
Severus glared. “Legally speaking, no, but otherwise of course I am responsible for him! I am the one who took him from that wretched home, the one who has been there through nightmares and medical visits and-“
“My, my, Severus. Could it be that you are jealous?”
***
in which Severus has to address the reality of his relationship with Harry with more than just words.
