 Someone who didn't sign their message and so shall remain nameless wrote -

If he was such a bully, why was he so respected by all the teachers, 
hagrid, Dumbledore? 

Now me - 

Um because he's dead? Even if he didn't mature (which I'm sure he did) he's
now dead and as such people remember and talk abut the good things. I mean
think about it - whenever there's a news report about someone dying what do
all the family say? He/she was such a nice person, can't imagine why anyone
would want to kill him etc etc. Besides what do you expect them to say to
Harry? "Yeah I knew your father at school he was a right git, it's a wonder
no one killed him earlier!"
