 I don't remember Snape ever being disciplined. But, then again, I 
don't remember ANY students going to the proper authorities about 
him. The only students he is purposely worse than nasty to are Harry 
and Neville. Harry, because of Snape's unresolved hatred for his 
father and Neville, I think because not only does Neville remind 
Snape of himself (nervous, incompetent, the one made fun of most...) 
but because I believe in the pensieve we see Snape's abusive home 
and the way his father treated him. 
  My daughter (10th grade) had a teacher last year similar to Snape. 
Very quiet, very authorative, demanded respect on the verge of being 
rude and abusive. My daughter complained quite loudly to me but when 
it came to going to the V.P., she said "No. It's not that bad..." 
This teacher had his favorites who, of course had more privileges 
than others in the classroom and my daughter was not one of them. 
But, here I can compare her to Harry. She is a TALKER, she is very 
cute and has learned that she really doesn't have to do her best to 
get by, she is used to getting her own way and slipping out of 
trouble because, of course, her V.P. thinks she is adorable and has 
such potential. Back to my point now, this teacher taught her and 
the other students. She actuallly had to sit there and learn. Not 
only algebra but a lesson in life that not everybody likes you and 
you might not like everybody, either. By the way, a note attached to 
her report card from this teacher: "Desiree can be whatever she 
wants if she puts her mind to it. She started out rough but, in the 
end showed her true colors and was a pleasure to have in class. 
Grade B+."
  What I'm saying is, I don't think WW is allowing Snape to be 
abusive because they don't know enough about it and that there are 
still teachers today that are like Snape.
