I see no difference here.
  
What would getting rid of Snape in classroom, or suggesting him to
adopt a new personality or character makeover as Snape-bashers kept
emphasized mean to the story? how would that help or improve
storytelling and character development? or make HP books a better read?
 Asking JKR to not writing Snape in teaching situation is like asking
some of the most entertaining and dramtaic aspects of these books to be
removed, just so the books won't be "upsetting", Harry won't be
"suffering" or whatever suit you. You're asking to replace basically a
character's role and his function in the story. It's one thing to bash
Snape as a horrible teacher as an expected reader's reaction.  But
what's the point of all these repeating and tiring "let's get rid of
Snape" argument in terms of canon discussion?  Will replacing
McGonagall as Snape's role in teaching Occlumency in Book 5 make a
better point purely because McGonagall is "nice" and "fair" teacher? 
Getting rid fo all incompetent, horrible teachers in Hogwarts (that
would be quite a few of them) and replacing them with proper PERFECT
teachers that nicely matched real life's golden standard would make the
story boring and pointless as that would serve no story purpose. For
those who can't handle "upsetting" aspect of the books,  I'm afraid
Snape is here to stay till book 7 and Harry will have to continue to
deal with him, why? because it's FUN reading, well at least for all
those who *truly* appreciate Snape as a character.
