Could it be because other Hogwarts teachers (and
Dumbledore) don't consider his treatment to be such a
crime against humanity as some of the posters here?
:-)

McGonagall is certainly amused by Harry's horror of
"Potions?!" during his career consultation in OoTP.

Somebody mentioned today the program about JRK school
days. I remember it well, and the other teachers from
her school were speaking about Snape's prototype.
Something to the lines of:
Our science teacher came from a grammar school. So he
was used to a certain level of attitude and
achievement, and he was determined to get it out of
students. Oh, they didn't like him very much for that,
not at all.
All that was again, with the attitude of amusement,
from his colleagues.
