Vera,
I went to a school where this indeed happened as well. This Prof. was 
a nightmare.  He taught Romantic Poetry. He was in the college when 
my mother inlaw was a student (40 years ago) and he was old as well 
as crabby then.  I had him around 12 years ago. I think he finally 
passed on about 3 years ago. He died of a brain tumor.   The only way 
the teacher left the school was in a body bag.  Truth.  He comes to 
mind often when I read how Snape deals with his students.  He had his 
favorites (which I was never one of).  I remember he once said "Miss 
Blah blah, If I were you I would consider a different major, since 
you cannot write in the English language.  If I were you, I would 
drop out completely."

Snape tenured?  I don't think so.  I don't think the Hogwarts 
teachers need unions.  Comical thought though!

I still believe that Snape is difficult to those who need him to be 
difficult.  These are the students who are up against the wall so to 
speak.  Neville, Harmione, Harry, Ron, and even occasionally Seamus.
