I Hate Snape...

Although Snape has some disagreeable personality traits, he is 
definitely a teacher that deserves recognition. 
Do you know of a teacher that is not a bit...um...eccentric?  He 
reminds me of a particular Romantic Poetry teacher that I once had 
the displeasure of taking a class with.  He was incredibly well 
learned, and a mind that could not be beat (before the beginnings of 
a brain tumor (which he later died of)-but we won't go there). 
 
 However, Snape has quite a number of qualities that really cannot be 
 ignored.
 1) He does have the student's well being in mind.
 2) He is loyal to Hogwarts, and Dumbledore.
 3) We have been almost fooled into believing he was the "bad guy" 
    in book one.  This still stays with us throughout the other three 
    books.  It has not been proven that he is one who could not be 
    trusted.
 4) Yes there are a lot of rumors about this character 
    (in love with Lily, a vampire, is again a spy for Dumbledore...)  
    but this is one of the reasons why he is so important to this     
series.  He is part of what keeps us reading!
