Well, Death Eaters are sort of a Nazi allegory, and in that respect it's probably pretty literal. Some people became Nazis because their families wanted them to, or because they thought it would protect them, but others did because they were still reeling from the effects of World War I and saw an up-and-coming political movement that promised them power. The fact that most or all of them were at least a little bit anti-Semitic (as was the style at the time) just meant they were able to justify it to themselves a little more easily. Presumably all the Death Eaters had at least a little anti-Muggle sentiment in them, but to many it was probably less about Muggles and more about power. And Snape definitely could have been one of those.

And even many of the good guys in HP, regardless of their lack of concern for blood purity, still treat Muggles as an inferior class of person. The prejudices are pretty pervasive.

I've always been disturbed by the blithe way the Wizarding authorities would use memory modification on Muggles, as one example of the way that society treats the non-magical as less-than.

[(Anonymous)]

even characters that love Muggles (like Arthur Weasley) do it in a way that is hella condescending like 'oh how cute they think they're people~' kind of way.

It's true, and really kind of awkward and unpleasant. It's a subtler prejudice, fueled by ignorance rather than violent hatred, but prejudice nonetheless. (Hello, allegory.)
