The Muffin Man,
Actually, Frug, what I believe Jen was pointing out (though correct me if I
m wrong) is that due to his childhood, constantly picked on and made fun of,
Snape would be traumatized into some kind of "Vigilante-Justice-force" and
do anything to stop anything happening to others that had happened to him..
no matter what house they're in. Though I do see your exellent point that he
feels that the underdogs, much like how he was as a child, must be protected
from those "Bullying Gryffindors". I just thought that he would have a sense
of justice for any perpatrator, but I guess Snape is using his time at
hogwarts to punish the entire house of Gryffindor, since he can't have
direct revenge against is own childhood "Bully's"
Now that I've read my whole paragraph, I just realized that this was one
giant waste of space... I pretty much didnt do anything except state my
opinion and then disproove it, myself... I hate when I do that. Oh well.
