Snape may be a toerag, but some of it could be for Malfoy's sake. 
Snape has motives and reasons that have not been revealed to us yet. 
He's an interesting enigma to me. Part cruel hatred, part unknown 
quantity. 
    Remember how Mrs. Figg had to make Harry miserable so that the 
Dursleys wouldn't mind him visiting her? By the same token, how much 
of Snape is him ingratiating himself to Malfoy?
