> Another thought I had is that Snape had been raised by followers
of Voldemort to be a Dark Wizard. (snip) Then his bad attitude could
(snip) result from having been raised as a piece of property instead of
as an offspring.

Which suddenly reminded me of the ever on-going question of how Harry
turned out to be such a nice person despite having been raised so
abusively and without love. Maybe he wasn't raised without love: no love
from the Dursley's, but his late mother's love always surrounded him,
and (remember her magic powers) not only protected him from Voldemort,
but made him feel hugged when no one else did.
