*** (OP, here) Yes, and again, this could have been another ruse towards Voldemort. As Snape was so adamantly set to play the role of the bad guy, even though he felt it was bad. He could have practically been a prisoner of his own thoughts... only forcing himself to think the things what he felt would appease Lord V.

***I sincerely hope you reread the first book in particular. Harry was ''looking forward'' to potions, and Snape, vindictive man child that he is, singled him out in front of his peers and denigrated him for not reading and memorizing the textbook for the year before his first class, a book he didn't have access to for most of the time he owned it until the first of September earlier that week. Yes the student has to want to learn, but I can think of few first classes that would make me want to punch my teacher in the face, to say nothing of paying any attention to or having any enthusiasm for his lessons, than what Snape did to Harry in his first class.

Should HAVE, not should of. Plus a couple of other errors.

** Again, that is not Neville's fault. Snape has no right to take his anger out on an innocent child. Bullying children who you have that kind of power over is no way sympathetic or justifiable. As for Harry, yes, he shouldn't have been sneaking into Snape's things. It's not that Harry's filled with hate; it's that he has a lot of unresolved anger. His guardians are abusive, there's a powerful individual who wants him dead and can get inside his head, and he has to deal with murder attempts every year. Not to mention that he witnessed a murder and an entire society is accusing him of being a liar. It really doesn't help that Harry doesn't trust Snape due to the the fact that Snape goes out of his way to make him miserable. However, Snape is still the teacher and Harry is still the student. The student's job is to learn and the teacher's job is to teach effectively and help provide a safe learning environment. How Snape taught Harry was the equilivant of a karate teacher telling his new student to defend himself and then beating him up. Snape failed to set boundries and guidelines. What Snape should of done is first giving Harry the mental equilviant of katas or exercizes.

*** They were in hiding for over a year. The only way for that to happen was if the Fidelis Charm was enacted sometime in August right after Harry was born. As for the prophecy, he chose the Potters and Harry as the one named, not the Longbottoms and Neville.

** Sure, a jerkass teacher is still better than pure evil but pure evil is not something you will meet a lot of time in your life. A jerk in a position of authority ? more frequent and a more realistic antagonist. That's the reason everyone in this fandom hates dolores Umbridge more than voldemort even if voldemort if obectivly worse and also why JerksAreWorseThanVillains. And he isn't just a jerkass teacher. He was a ex-death eater. And the only reason he join dumbledore is because Voldemort targeted Lily Potter, the only muggeborn he cared about. Which means [[OriginalPositionFallacy he was ok with muggleborn being killed and probably killing them himself until it became his problem]]

*** Out of character ? His entire motivation to join Dumbledore is because of this . It's in character and yes , it was supposed to be pathetic.
