Ugh. I like some things about Snape and will stan for him on occasion, but I’m not gonna justify his behavior with “bullied kids will do anything to be accepted and if you don’t agree you clearly weren’t bullied hard enough.”

Up through middle school most of my bullies were POC—I’m white. I got my lunch stolen, my books stolen—and ended up on the ground being kicked by a circle of kids when I tried to get the books back—got called all kinds of nasty stuff, tripped, slapped, followed home by groups of kids chanting taunts, cornered in bathrooms, had food and garbage thrown at me, kids pay each other to run up and kiss me (the other option was to kiss a toilet seat). High school was more of the same but with rich mostly white people.

You wanna know how many racial slurs I used in retaliation? Zero. You wanna know how many of their kids I’ve treated like shit since? Every week some of my work hours are in my old neighborhood, and I run into the children of my bullies fairly often—but it’s also zero, because I’m not an asshole. You wanna know how many white supremacist groups I joined? Zilch, because I’m not a monster.

Also, Snape was a kid. He grew into an adult who bullied children in his care. Even if he finally realized that belonging to a terrorist group was wrong, he still never stopped hurting people for shit they had no control over. He acted like Harry and his friends existed solely to piss him off when they were just kids. That’s not okay. Joining Hitler Youth Magic Edition wasn’t okay either.
