risk and high-pressure situations.  If the other members of the team 
think that one of them is a horrible person who they don't like 
personally, it could certainly impair their working situation.  I'm 
not in the military, I've never been in a situation like that, but I 
can certainly imagine a commander then stepping in--specifically due 
to the complaints of other workers--and sacking (or at least 
reassigning) the offending person because his presence was 
detrimental to the team.  Or what if Harry *is* the head of the Auror 
Office, and he's choosing his staff? <<

Joe: 
You are absolutely right. As a former U.S. Marine I can vouch for that. Anyone acting like Snape or indeed anyone being so unpleasant as to make working with them detrimental to the efforts of the platoon would find themselves at the end of applied corrective discipline. Not offical mind you but used by the other members of the platoon.
    In bootcamp it might be a blanket party. Which for those of you who might not know is where the target is held down by a blanket and every member of the platoon hit them once in the abdomen with a sock containing a bar of soap.  Sound harsh? Yeah it is, though there is almost no chance of lasting damage merely sorenes. 
   
  The point is clearly brought home though, be a team player or face the consequences. If you can't trust the guys in your unit to focus on the unit you are as good as dead.
