Julie again:
As I pointed out, in the real world if further evidence was readily
available, it would be collected. *Then* judgment would be rendered.
Though I do admit, there are times when the authorities involved don't
bother to collect further evidence. And some of those times have led to
cases where the Death Row inmate was exonerated of the crime once
someone bothered to present that further evidence. Which supports the
concept that it's unwise to judge until *all* the evidence is
presented.
BTW, it is clear that justice in the WW doesn't work quite like real
world justice, so you may just get your wish. Just as no one bothered
to study all the evidence before hastily convicting Sirius and throwing
him in Azkaban, and no one bothered to study all the evidence before
tossing Hagrid out of Hogwarts, the same kind of snap judgment based on
what *seems* to be obvious at first glance could happen with Snape.
Though one can only hope the WW will some day realize that instant
judgment based on first impressions is often a recipe for miscarriage
of justice.
