And perhaps, like many teachers and professors, he _hates_ students. It's
not uncommon, especially among research types, in higher education, and I'm
sure there are plenty of examples in schools also.

I know that Snape was based on a real teacher who taught science at Chepstow
Comp while Rowling was there, so there are obviously some real life
features...
