Mean and asocial people do exist in RL. People who don't care about
being liked. People who don't consider social relationships to be
important. People who would rather be left alone. People who have no
patience with the weaknesses of others and who don't feel obliged to
pretend they don't mind. In short, people who are not very happy in
our society and who don't see why they should pretend they are.

I see Snape as one of those people. He was always an oddball. He never
made the most basic efforts to be liked (like not looking
unattractive). He seems to have always been a loner. He doesn't enjoy
teaching. He doesn't believe in being politically correct. He's got
preferences and dislikes and he's honest about them. He doesn't care
about keeping his emotions in check as long as he himself doesn't get
burned. And so on.

So he's an asocial. So what ? There's no rule against that.

That's why I'm asking : what's wrong with Mean!Asocial!Snape ?
