Because that's maybe what he is when not viewed from Harry's POW? :-)
Ever wondered what Slytherins think of McGonagall?

The only moment I would describe as "camp" was in CoS, when Snape says
to Lockhart "Malfoy, perhaps?" And even there I thought the gestures
and the tone were to mock Lockhart, not just because Rickman felt like
camping it up.

I think Rickman is doing wonders with the meagre stuff he's got so far.
There was not even a reaction shot to the Lockhart's "If I only wanted
to block your spell, it was too obvious". How stupid was not to give
reaction shot here? Criminally stupid, I say.
After watching the DVD deleted scenes, I blame Columbus much more than
Kloves. So there is hope for PoA yet.
