Some people just can't stand clumsy people. It's not a nice trait, 
but a lot of people feel that way. Some people cope better than other 
at being around "stupid" people. Again, not a nice trait, but also, 
as it's been repeated ad nauseam, Snape is not a "nice" person. He's 
irrational, holds grudges, hates clumsy fools and has a volatile 
temper.

This is not the reason why Snape treats Neville badly. Or else Goyle 
and that other dunderhead would have been put out of their misery 
long ago.
