Doesn't excuse Snape's extreme cruelty to Neville though...

How about this idea, then?  Perhaps Snape was best friends with the folks who "destroyed" Neville's parents, and he is upset over their being "gaoled".  He hence takes out the loss of his friends on the son of those responsible--if Neville's parents wouldn't have been so (fill in the blank), the friends would still be around/alive/sane, whatever.

Just an idea.
