Alla:

I strongly disagree. I won't go into depth on commenting about the 
first scene. I said it quite a few times. Harry was not 
disrespectful at all and Snape was the one who set the tone of their 
relationship from day one. I think he did it on purpose to have an 
excuse to pick on Harry from now on.

I will just ask you - how do you know that he chooses the student 
every year?


I think he did it with Harry and Harry only, but since neither you 
nor me can prove that, I guess we have to agree to disagree on that 
one.

If the result of his "venting frustration" is that said student is 
scared of the said teacher more than anything , in my book it is 
abuse.
