By the way, I am still waiting for someone to show me canon proof 
that Snape is a good teacher academically. :o)Let's put aside whether 
he is abusive or not for one second.

Normally, I'm a lurker but I was wondering if this counted.  Snape 
has a NEWT level class and only accepts O's as acceptance.  He also 
said in the beginning of OOTP that he would be extremely displeased 
if any of his students received anything less than an A (I'm not 
totally sure, don't have a copy of OOTP with me).  Doesn't this imply 
that he normally has a NEWT level class to teach, and thus meaning he 
has several students who get O's?  And that at least the worst 
students would be getting around an A?  It would seem that they are 
learning well enough since he has high expectations.  He has high 
expectations because those expectations are probable to an extent.
