Ahh, I had started the "Snape -a werewolf bigot??" thread because I
didn't see Snape as a bigot towards werewolves.  Instead, I saw Snape
as a man who just hated a man who just happened to be a werewolf. 
After all, Snape hated Sirius - does that make Snape a pure-blood bigot?

ok...going back into my cave...I think I already know what Snape is -
a misanthrope in the manner of Molière's brilliant work "Le
Misanthrope ou l'Atrabilaire amoureux".  Alceste doesn't hate
everybody, but he certainly tries :)
