Well of course they're wrong, Magda!  Chuckle.  Do you really think
those of use who believe in child-centered education are going to say
"This system we fight hard for and believe in passionately is no
better than any other?"  That's just not human nature.  Sorry, but a
lot of us are never going to see Snape's methods as anything but
obviously and terribly wrong, and the Wizarding World as being nothing
but completely in the wrong for allowing him to treat students the way
he does, especially Harry.
