I really liked what Nora said in 131676.

"A middle path is, of course, less exciting but eminently possible.
To completely dismiss outsider critique is to cut off one of the most
powerful forces for much-needed reform--Voice."

Is what Snape doing agreeable by many standards of WW? Quite 
possible. Am I as a reader obliged to accept that this is how it is 
supposed to be, always will be and that no reform should follow?

Not  to me, but then I am of the opinion that WW is a muggle world in 
disguise, not alien race to which our morals are inapplicable.

In fact, I think that JKR is doing exactly that - leads to  the 
eventual radical shake up of WW.

Who knows, maybe at the end Lupin will indeed become Headmaster.

Just my opinion,

Alla.
