Why DD lets Snape be [an insufferable git] :-)

<<<So, IMO, DD is just trying to 'prepare' (if passively) the 
students for the real world - in all its goodness and evilness, fairness and 
unfairness. Letting Snape act the way he does is like warning the 
students: well, life really isn't always fair.>>> 



I too agree with you.  We must remember, that Snape is the 
headmaster of Slytherin.  Can you imagine if the headmaster of that 
house was McGonagall? I guess even those that the sorting hat places 
in Slytherin need a "role model", lol.

As you stated DD knows what the "real" wizarding world is like.  And 
even though Snape may have the desire to do some dark magic of his 
own, and take care of those he dislikes, he still has not crossed 
that line as of yet!  There are those in the world who are 
manipulating, unkind, deceiving and down-right mean!  But we still 
need to learn how to "deal" with those types of personalitites.  
Sorry to get off the topic a little, but being a big fan of LOTR 
(Lord of the Rings) I see Snape as a somewhat "Gollum" type 
character.  He may be mean, slimey, nasty, but he may have something 
important to do in the end, whether for good or evil.....we'll have 
to wait and see.
