When my boss tells me, "I hope to see the report tomorrow," I take it to mean that I better make sure the report is on his desk tomorrow or I will find myself without a desk soon.
When the mafia boss tells his underlings, "I hope that pesky reporter has an accident," his underlings are not going to walk away and drink beer. They are going to go and fix something up to make it look like an accident.
When wife tells husband, "I hope to have ___ for my birthday," boy, he better get ___ for her for her birthday.
Hope is hope only when there is no power relationship between two persons.
