Oh. Okay. I think I will continue wondering about Snape being a bigot 
though and will applaud Dumbledore for allowing Lupin to teach.

People with HIV can also transmit this disease to others it if they 
are not careful and yes, as I said upthread, I know that this is not 
an exact analogy, seems pretty close to me though. IMO of course.

Aside to Magpie - sure, I know this analogy is not the only one, I 
can see analogy with people with mental illnesses as well, but not 
analogy with gays for some reason. I mean medium that must not be 
named made it, but I find it not working for me.

Erm... because this thread is about Snape bigotry or whether it 
exists? Nevertheless Ron's bigoted remarks and Hagrid bigoted remarks 
were acknowledged upthread as well.

There are plenty of bigots in WW, Snape is one of them in my opinion.

Does not mean that I stop criticising him because there many others. 
And he is also one of the worst in my view.

But there is also Dumbledore in this world and Hermione and Ron who 
learns from his mistakes IMO, so I see hope for it.

JMO,
