Betsy Hp:
Unfortunately, the circular argument is all the "Snape is a child 
abuser" supporters seem to have.  Very little, if any, canon is ever 
brought forth in these arguments.  And what canon *is* brought forth 
is taken far outside the WW standards of behavior.

Betsy Hp:
This appears to be true as well.  After all, telling Neville his 
toad will be fed the potion Neville was assigned is abuse.  Dropping 
Draco onto a stone floor from such a distance he actually bounces is 
good times.
