and pretty much destroying what little self esteem Neville had to the point where a creature that takes the shape of your worst nightmares took the form of his teacher

This is one of the things that made me incapable of truly sympathizing with Snape's character. Being bullied by other kids in school? Yeah, it sucked but I could handle it. Having to go to class every day to deal with a spiteful, cruel adult who dared to call themselves a teacher (although "deal with" isn't really the right phrasing. It was more like I had to sit there and not say anything because I knew I would get punished if I talked back)? I never got over that. No one should be afraid just to go to class

This

Being bullied by other children was traumatic but at least I know there is a fair chance that they eventually grew out of being assholes. But an adult who uses their authority to bully children? There are no words for how disgraceful and pathetic that is

[aubry]

Made all the more horrific when you take into account that much of Neville's underlying lack of confidence and vulnerability is because Snape's cronies tortured his parents to insanity. Acting on Snape's intel. Is the man incapable of shame, or what?

THIS DROVE ME CRAZY

Jesus, didn't Rowling realize that including that part made Snape's treatment of Neville even more grotesque? I mean, good lord, that's just monstrous.

It could be interpreted as being partially driven by guilt, because Snape was definitely immature and volatile enough to be the sort of person who lashed out at anyone who made him feel bad, even if only by being a reminder of horrible shit he was responsible for.

Which isn't anything near excusable, but is a little more understandable than him just ignoring or conveniently forgetting that detail.

I'm a fan of this interpretation, it makes sense in the context of a very fucked-up Snape.

(Although I do wonder, from a meta POV, whether JKR fully realized that Snape was singling out the boy for whose parents horrific torture he bore a lot of responsibility. I also wonder what Neville thought of Snape sending him to the cutesy Forbidden Forest as a punishment during the last year at Hogwarts. And now I want to read some Snape & Neville 7th year gen.)

Yes, I think only people who've been bullied and harassed by their teachers can truly understand how it feels like.
My math teacher insulted me with sexist slurs each day and he even downright told my parents that he thought my "brain was incapable of understanding mathematics". We complained about his behaviour countless of times but no one dared to take my side because it meant the teacher would target them as well.
I can't believe I put up with this as long as I did. I ended up changing schools because of this piece of shit and later on sent him an angry letter with my improved math grades. No therapy could give me this feeling of victory when I heard that he was being angry at me for writing to him and sending him a copy of my certificate.

Having had experience with a bullying teacher myself (one that arguably affected the whole of the rest of my life), I agree with you.
