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.

>vmonte responds:
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.

>TrekkieGrrrl:
You're forgettinthat Crabbe and Goyle are Slytherins. AND that their 
fathers are death Eaters. So naturally Snape will have to put up with 
them. Probably by ignoring them.

vmonte responds:
I'm not forgetting, I just don't buy it as the reason.
