I've often thought that part of what  makes Snape so disagreeable 
and snarky to many of his students is that his sense of honor has 
never been fulfilled.  He knows his actions as a DE were wrong, but 
he managed to avoid punishment when called to account. Instead of 
ending up in Azkaban, like many of his  comrades, he got rewarded 
with a cushy position at a highly regarded school of wizardry.  He's 
been forgiven, by Dumbledore, at least.  I sometimes wonder if he 
still feels deep down that he has not atoned for his sins, whatever 
they may be. 


Tonks here:
Well that could be. But if I am not so sure that Snape thinks that 
he has a *cushy position*.  For someone who does not like children a 
job as a teacher 24/7 in a boarding school would be *worse* than a 
stay in Azkaban!!!  It sure would be to me!!
