To me it's the same character but very editorialized, so that I can imagine someone who hasn't read the books getting a pretty different idea about who the character is.

The movies legit changed some of his worst moments, though. In PoA, instead of being batshit crazy with rage and nearly sending two innocent people to a fate worse than death without listening to any ounce of reason, the film Snape was relatively clam and collected and protected the trio from a werewolf. In the films you never see him bullying his students, and the small hints at it are played off as humorous (like him smacking Ron in the head with a book), rather than... you know, sending kids crying. In the The Prince's Tale in the book, there's a long list of ways Snape was shown to be fucked up (which is why Lily ended the friendship), but in the film it just showed him as a cute little innocent kid who then jumped to "save them all!" (when in the book he would've gladly left James and Harry to die).

It's not just about leaving things out; they really did gloss him over and change scenes/lines to make him look nicer and more sympathetic.
