Elyse: Hee Hee... Do you know what a potentially explosive and

Whoa!!! How did we end up with abused children here?
I know Snape is nasty, mean , savagely sadistic, but he is
hardly comparable to a child abuser!
This is quite an unfair leap youre taking here IMO and its not as if 
shes writing the books with abused children in mind.

Also I think that what JKR wants to show children is that just 
because people are ugly and mean doesnt mean they do
not possess other worthy redeeming qualities

I think Julie summed it up very well when she wrote:

vmonte:
Children really do know what this kind of teacher is all about. It's 
the adults that are clueless.

Elyse: Come now, adults are more capable than you give them credit 
for surely?
Not meaning to be sarcastic here, but in that case we might as well
turn the world government into primary schoolers' hands and
see the results...

Elyse
who is still speculating about Snape as a lover....
