Re: I have no idea why everyone hates Snape. Seriously.

[(Anonymous)]

The thing is, he's not an 'unpleasant' teacher. He's an abusive teacher who is actively a dick to children he's in charge of for no good reason. His actions towards Neville and Hermione in particular are hard for me to excuse or overlook. He says some awful shit to them. That's even setting aside the fact that he was a magical racist who ratted about the prophecy to Volemort, since we're just setting that aside as youthful indiscretion.

I agree that he's a morally complex character, and I think that's a good thing, but for me, he just does too much dickish shit for me to take him seriously as a purely good protagonist. He was morally complex in that he was a dick who ended up doing some truly good and courageous things, because that's how people are sometimes, but that doesn't make the dick part of him go away. He was still a nasty prick. Those flaws are always a part of his character for me, and I don't think that's me taking refuge in moral simplicity. I think he's a really interesting character, but that's a different thing.
