He disliked muggles before he ever got to school. In The Prince's Tale, he looked down on Petunia for being a muggle; it had nothing to do with the fact that she was mean to him (which would be a legit reason to dislike her) but he disliked her for being a boring old muggle. He says this twice. Once, on the train, while Lily is crying over her sister, and he's basically like "why do you care about her? She's just a muggle". So for one, he doesn't try to appreciate the fact that Lily cares about her sister because her sister happens to be scum in his eyes.

Then at Hogwarts, he treated everyone of her kind like crap. He bullied them and call them mudbloods and laughed it off when muggleborns were attacked with dark magic, because it was "just a laugh". He was just sorry when he used the word on Lily. He obviously didn't care much about how it would affect her to support this discrimination behind her back.

Then he joined the Death Eaters, actively helping the group that was hunting down muggles and muggleborns and those she loved and cared for. He never changed his mind or his views despite the fact that they were all contributing to making her life hell. He only changed sides when his own actions condemned her to certain death. And then, he bargained her life in exchange for the lives of the two people she loved most.

Had he believed Voldemort would've been the better bet in keeping Lily safe, he would've remained a loyal Death Eater, killing mudbloods and muggles in the name of "saving Lily".

And the cherry on top of the cake... he bullied her child mercilessly because he happened to look like James Potter. No matter how much he knew this child was abused at home. He had no sympathy because his own feelings meant more to him, once again, than Lily's or Harry's.

Honestly, I can't see how he EVER respected her in any measure. He didn't care how she felt about her sister, how she felt about her kind, how she felt about discrimination, how she felt about the war or her family, how she felt about her husband and child, and he didn't care about how she would feel about her son being tormented by a superior all over again.

his muggle father beat him and he felt like the only good person in the world was his mother. he and his mother are magical (and it's implied that tobias beat them both while 'justifying' it with them being magical) so he clings to that as 'civilized' and 'good' and that it's not them that's the problem, it's his father and his father is a muggle and he's sure he's not right, that being magical ISN'T bad because his mother is magical and she is the best thing in his life and you really don't see how a CHILD can hate muggles.

I think it's so weird that people both decry Snape for being mean to children while also attacking him for being mean AS A CHILD. Complaints about him as an adult are one thing, but being like 'well he hated Petunia' and 'he called Lily a mudblood' are ridiculous.

Where is ti ever even implied Snape's father was physically abusive? Verbal abuse definitely, but I just re-read the Prince's Tale, and beatings remarkably absent.

Ummm, you're making up a lot of this. BOTH his parents were neglectful and fought with one another, but nothing in canon says they were even abusive towards Snape other than their neglect (which is a form of abuse, but it's not verbal/physical abuse like you're implying).

I really, honest to god wonder if you'd be defending this prejudice if it was racial. "Oh, he had a black father who was horrible to his white mother, no kidding he hated black people". That's... not an excuse. It doesn't make it okay. This is obviously not racism, but it's meant to be a parallel. And forming a severe hatred for a group of people off one encounter is never okay.

How is it AT ALL ridiculous to find fault with his treatment of Petunia and Lily? If he's just been mean to Petunia in response to her being mean, that would be totally understandable. BUt he was mean to her because she was a muggle. He was shit to Lily because she was a muggleborn, even if he never meant for her to hear that word. That's NOT justifiable. Wtf.
