Alla:

Heeee, no dear, I do not think you missed anything. We just 
interpret same canon differently. I think that his I do not know how 
werewolf mind works means that he is bigoted against all werewolves, 
not just Lupin.

Now, believe me, if it turns out that that is what he started 
thinking after prank, I will understand, I will still not like it 
but understand.

I mean it is still for me no excuse, but at least I can understand.

But since I speculate that Snape thought of werewolves as dark 
creatures not worth compassion before prank, I am afraid I do not 
even understand.


And yes, I know that many people of WW are bigots, still does not 
make me feel that is understandable.

As an aside, I love,  love Ron's evolution - from get away from me 
werewolf to him IMO clearly being able to like Lupin as human being 
with disease in OOP and HBP.

So, yep our dear Snape is a bigot as well in my opinion.

I of course think of mudblood in Pensieve scene and password to 
Slytherin dorms in CoS, which I do not buy for a second was created 
by somebody else but Snape IMO.
