But we have seen it. Dumbledore has drawn a very clear
line at physical harm to the students, and we've seen
that it gets him very angry at OoTP.

By the looks of it, Dumbledore (and Hogwarts culture
in general) is significantly less sensitive to
emotional abuse, however it's defined.

Can anyone honestly say that any emotional "abuse"
that Snape might have inflicted is worse (or even
equal) than the detention in the Forbidden Forest for
11-year olds? McGonagall has assigned it, in case
anyone has forgotten.
