I was just reading, some Severus S. & Lily P. fan-fictions, and I almost want to start crying. TT^TT Poor Sev was so abused, and betrayed by everyone. And, the only girls he's ever loved, married, had a baby with, and died with the man he hated most in his life. Then her son got to come to Hogwarts and torture him everyday with the memory of her. It's just so sad...
Yeah, because Snape was obviously a saint who could do no wrong.
rolleyes Snape was a jackass. Yes, his story was sad, but he did plenty wrong to others. He was a abusive person, as well as one who couldn't let go of the past. I love Snape for his complexity; his flaws add to his brilliance as a character, and I'm sick of people ignoring them. But would I like him as a person? Hell, no.
He was not a Jackass. Sorry to correct you. He wasn't abusive either. He was just mean and straight forward because he had no reason to be happy and cheerful or be nice to anyone. Besides, the abusive people tend to be
abused like Snape was if you recall... And if you got under his skin he'd just be a big cry baby and he'd be better company to be around.

...OK? Maybe he's like that in your little fanfiction world, where everybody eats rainbows and poops butterflies. If, however, you bothered to read that little thing called
canon, you'd know that Snape was a
very abusive person, and not just to Harry; he abused Neville and Hermione many times, as well. I understand why he hated Harry; the kid was the son of the woman he loved and the man he hated. It must have been torture for him. But does that make his actions excusable? No. Yes, Snape was abused by James and the Marauders, but it was completely ridiculous for him to be holding onto those resentments for so long. He needed to grow up. He took out those resentments on an innocent eleven-year-old kid, for goodness' sake!
Seriously, why are you ignoring his flaws? They are part of what makes him such a brilliant character. By ignoring them, you insult every
real fan of the Harry Potter series.
