Right, yes, this argument. "People are complex! People are irrational! Don't be so mean about my favorite psychopath's complex and irrational feeeeeeelings!"

Love that involves genociding the love object's entire species isn't useful or worth defending.

Explaining something isn't the same as excusing it, you know.

Just because someone's in love, it doesn't make them a better person than if they hadn't been in love.

Explaining that Snape might have loved Lily doesn't excuse any of his actions. At all.

Thisssss. You can love someone, even genuinely, and still be a completely horrible person.

Loving does not redeem anyone.

I am kind of curious how you read "genocidal fuckhead" and thought that this was a defense of Snape

Who said it was useful or worth defending? People are saying it's not unrealistic, which is demonstrably true.

Psychopathy isn't prerequisite for being evil. If it was then none of the genocides of the 20th century would have occurred. There simply wouldn't have been enough psychopaths within any given population for them to be logistically possible. A person can be utterly vile and commit horrenous atrocities while having genuine care for certain individuals. The fact that you're capable of feeling love for a specific individual doesn't somehow automatically make you a good person.
