Amanda:
I feel that Snape has treated Harry horribly since the very beginning. He 
makes fun of him in class, in front of other people and all around just 
treats him like he's inferior. It may not be physical abuse but sometimes 
emotional abuse is just as awful. And Harry doesn't understand what he's 
done wrong to this man. This authority figure. All he understands is that 
he's hated and that he's being mistreated. I also feel that Neville has been 
treated the same way and it's wrong. No one should suffer through that.
