Personally, I've always wondered why Dumbledore never reined him in. Surely the headmaster had to know how Snape was treating his students. And no, I don't think Snape was a 'racist' teacher. I don't recall there being an instance in canon where he treated anyone differently because of their blood status, only their House status. He seemed to be an equal opportunity Gryffindor hater.

It would have been interesting to see how Snape dealt with his Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students. Does Snape have a default mode when taken out of the Slytherin/Gryffindor dynamic? Would it have depended on who the students were related to? Outside of situations that don't directly remind him of his adolescence, does he even give a shit?

Fascinating question. I've often wondered this as well. Unfortunately, we only ever really see Snape from Harry's POV, except when he's visited by Bellatrix and Narcissa, and again when he's at Malfoy Manor. Nothing in either scene really tells us how he feels about anything—except that he loathes Pettigrew, but who doesn't?

The only thing I can think of is that he tried, but then Draco found out, and Draco's dad put the pressure on the minister to get Dumbledore to stop "forcing" Snape to "ignore the bullying from the Griffyndors" or something similar. I mean, we've seen in canon that Dumbledore isn't actually all-powerful, and he doesn't have total control over the school (the hippogriff being killed, even if time turning prevented that, Umbridge, etc.)

But yeah, that's what I figured; if he was still secretly racist, it wasn't something that he brought up in his classes, I don't think.

Because Dumbledore is an asshole too?

Pretty sure Dumbledore didn't rein him in because he knew Voldemort would come back some day and Snape would need every bit of reputation he had.
