Does anybody know if Snape has every been disciplined for the actions

Slytherin.  It seems ridiculous that a person with his temperment and 
obvious chip on his shoulder should be responsible for childrens 
development.

Sherrie here:

Ever read anything about Victorian schoolmasters/mistresses?  IMHO, "modern" 
theories of educational psychology can't really be applied to Hogwarts - like 
much in the WW, they seem to be more in the Victorian mold.  In that context, 
Snape's behavior isn't really very far outside the norm - a bit harsher than 
most, perhaps, but not unusually so.
