Could also have something to do with the fact that the Swedes let Hitler march through to Norway--that's been a particularly sore subject over recent years, according to some Swedes I know (that I'm not married to). :b Norway was an occupied country during WWII--something that's probably not easy to forget.
They seem like siblings or cousins who have that family rivalry thing going on to me (you know the languages are mutually intelligible, almost like 2 dialects of one language, sorta), but I haven't really known many Norwegians. *shrug* I honestly don't think it's a serious "hate" thing on either side. Hell, I rode back from the first Marillion convention to London with a group of Norwegians and my Swedish friend.
