Now me: Snape? Little self confidence? Am I reading this completely 
wrong? Confidence glows off Snape, true from what we know about his 
past maybe it shouldn't but it does. And Snape being alone in his 
room shooting spiders, I think that's self inflicted, he thinks he's 
better than everyone and so doesn't wish to mix with lesser mortals. 
You make him sound as though he is some kind of weakling, lured by 
the dark side like Quirrel, I have to disagree.
