Re: I have a deep, vitriolic hatred of "he changed for her" love stories

I like them, but only when the villain character already knows their behavior is reprehensible, and is already wrestling with self-loathing for their actions when they fall for someone who they’ll fight to change for. Snape’s not that sort of character; his self-loathing (at least, the loathing at his own actions) only kicked into high gear when Lily was murdered, and I don’t know how much he came to regret his involvement with the Death Eaters for more than her death. I think he did, a bit, but he never became a kinder or more thoughtful person, he just switched sides.

Exactly. A lot of people are guff, sarcastic, and guarded with their feelings but that doesn't automatically make them jerks. Snape wouldn't have needed to do a complete 180 from his personality as a young man to who he is as an adult. However, someone having suffered what Snape had might have inspired him to not make everyone else around him suffer needlessly. There simply is no excuse for making fun of a 15 year old girl's appearance in front of her peers or trying to poison someone's pet.

Villain redemption arcs through love can be done well but they rarely are.

This. He was bullied. So he became an adult who bullied kids? Not very sympathetic, and as someone who was bullied as a kid, he should know what it feels like. He's a terrible person.
