What if other teachers behaved like Snape?

Snape punishes Harry for the sins of his father (while apparently 
ignoring the kindness of Harry's mother.)

So, things that happened before Harry was born, committed by a man 
Harry barely remembers, are somehow worthy of Harry being treated 
like crap by this guy.

But we learn in OoP that two other Hogwarts teachers, McGonagall and 
Hagrid, are also Order of the Phoenix members.

That means they have lost friends to DEs, like Lucius Malfoy, Mr. 
Crabbe, Mr. Goyle and Mr. Nott, all of whom have sons at Hogwarts.

We know Hagrid and McGonagall loved James and Lily. We know that the 
Longbottoms were popular. We know from Moody in OoP that others were 
killed.

Friends. DEAD because of the DEs.

And where do we see McGonagall and Hagrid treating Malfoy, Crabbe, 
Goyle and Nott like that?

Hagrid obviously dislikes Malfoy, but he keeps it professional in 
class.

Maybe when people whine about how bad the Slyths have it, they should 
remember how the other teachers manage to behave in ways Snape is 
incapable of.
