When I read the books, I saw all that stuff with Snape and other kids and thought Snape was a giant douche but I never felt an outrage on Harry's behalf. IDK why. The books just gave me the impression that Harry never felt Snape's barbs in any way beyond "wow he's a dick. What's his problem?" (except for the ones about James in the first books.)

Harry being affected? Perhaps not, but he was used to abuse as you say. Hermione bursting into tears because of him? Yes.

Neville, who had his parents tortured to insanity, developing a fear of him that eclipses all other? And for good reason? Yeah. Threatening to kill his pet, and it being obvious that's exactly what Snape wanted? Kinda goes past "what a dick".

[wldcatsprstr-14.livejournal.com]

Yes I agreed with you. That's why I said that I felt more outrage on the part of the other children but not on Harry's. We are definitely on the same page with that.

Just because it wasn't the worst thing Harry has been faced with, doesn't mean it wasn't abuse. Snape judged him from the moment he walked in Hogwarts and never let up until Harry fought back, thus giving Snape an actual reason to dislike him. Threatening him with truth potion? Calling him names? Allow other children to bully him in his class? Is that not abuse from a teacher?

Different anon here. I wonder if that's partially because of the circumstances though. Like when Harry is with the Dursleys, he has literally no one else. But once he goes to Hogwarts, he's suddenly surrounded by people who are like him; he has good friends for the first time in his life, and people admire and look up to him just because of who he is. Basically, the books are really deeply entrenched in Harry's POV and when we see him with the Dursleys he's totally miserable, but when he's at Hogwarts he hates and distrusts Snape (as Snape has given him every reason to) but as a result of circumstances totally beyond Snape's control, he is generally pretty happy. I don't doubt that had Snape had been in charge of Harry's upbringing he wouldn't have been equally shitty to Harry, but YMMV on that. I don't even know why I'm here. I have no dog in this fight.

I'm not sure what you're responding to but I generally agree with what you said.
