Alla:
What do you mean how it would help him deal with that? Both Harry and
Neville will be able to learn potions well without Snape watcheful
eye.

I thought that by getting rid of Snape Vmonte only meant get rid of
him in the classroom, which I wholeheartedly agree with.
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

vmonte responds:

Again, the quote you two are talking about is not mine.

I'm not a Snape basher, I see him as JKR writes him.
I also think that it's ok to appreciate a character like Snape 
without over justifying his "clearly" poor teaching methods.  
As JKR says, "He is a horrible teacher."

I still like this character and wouldn't mind if he was the real 
villian instead of Voldemort who seems very one-dimensional.
If he turns out to be Squidward, that's also ok with me.
