Well, as I recall the question I asked was not "What do you think of 
Snape's teaching methods?" or "What do you think of child-centered 
education?" but "Do you think any of the adults have ever admonished 
Snape for the way he interacts with Harry?"  Those questions are 
related but far from the same thing.  I also made very clear in the 
very first post launching this thread my own opinions on the topics 
you raise about teaching methods (it was covered in number three of 
the options I put forth) and so my response on the subject should 
not have come as a great surprise. 

So, to bring us back on topic, the question is really a very narrow 
one: Do you think anyone has ever admonished Snape about the way he 
interacts with Harry?  I am not interested, per se, in what you 
think about Snape's teaching methods, what you think about education 
in the wizarding world, or -- least of all -- what your opinions are 
on child-centered education.
