Adesa:
But do people really experience personal growth and atonement 
throughout their adult lives? Sure, many do. But there *are* people 
who get stuck in adolescence, people whose obsessions never go away, 
people who neither forgive nor seek forgiveness, people who never get 
their act together. There really are people like that in the world, 
to varying degrees. That you and I and most people we know have grown 
emotionally since our young adulthood doesn't mean *everyone* has. 
And those who haven't have my sympathy -- but I wouldn't want to 
spend time with them. I find Snape to be very believable, though 
thoroughly unlikable.
