Irrational or not most children (and many adults) fear humiliation
more than death. Tell me Snape has some good in him if you want to,
tell me he will do something heroic in the last book if you like; but
don't tell me there is a 11 year old child on the planet who wouldn't
be terrified of the Severus Snape as described in the books. Snape is
many things but warm and fuzzy he is not.

When Luna first met Neville and asked who he was Neville responded
"I'm nobody". That's just sad.
