If, just for discussions sake, we propose that Snape has some 
characteristics but is not clinically Narcissistic, then I was 
wondering if Snape rolled into your office one day (very unlikely 
I'm sure!) what would you do to address his narcissistic tendencies? 
What does he need to do to balance out as it were?

Also, in terms of HP plot what event would be most likely to 
influence his self image, arrogance and inability to empathise with 
others?
