And Snape is a great example of cold aggression. He's probably the one that more people are familiar with than anything else. I'm trying to think of a good example of hot aggression, but it's sort of the red-faced, spluttering person who begins losing their facility with the language.

The it is control. They've lost control over the situation. They've lost control over themselves. Even though the point of aggression is to gain control, it actually loses it.

You're absolutely right. It would be easier if we could set these things out at the beginning. But for a lot of us, we've been in the same family, the same marriage, we've had the same kid, we've had the same parents, we've had the same boss, we've had the same coworkers for years.

It's fear of counter-attract, fear of other people's aggression. But the hidden emotion is indeed exactly what you say. It's resentment.
