If by bunny you mean a vorpal bunny :)

Seems to be a step up from some other people.

 Basically what I am saying is that on a scale of one to

Interesting rating system. I would agree that the average person is 
about a four. Of course Snape would get about a seven from me. There 
is a difference between a sarcastic nononsense disciplinarian and 
Snape. And when the only people you can use your 'wit' on are 
children, you are pretty much the definition of a tiny, pathetic man.

And Molly deserves way higher than a one! That woman seems to want to 
yell at everyone but Dumbledore and Harry. The way she treats her 
husband and the twins is appalling and she should burn in hades for 
talking to Sirius the way she does. Unforgivable!!!

Hogwarts and the Wizarding World have a stupid definition of not that 
bad so that doesn't get a pass for me.  

This is after all the society that seems to think that soul sucking 
demons should guard students, dragon baiting is a good olympic event, 
and the culture at large has the ability to turn on their heroes with 
the speed and intelligence of a pack of especially stupid lemmings.  
I mean, DD makes me mad, but they turn on him after a hundred years 
of reverence.

These people are DUMB!
