Finwitch:

Well, I wouldn't say evil. Immature. For to be mature, one *should*
have that sense of responsibility. And that maturity is a huge part of
what adults need to have to earn respect. You know, BE the adults. It
takes more than 18 years of existence, you know.

Snape, to me, seems to be like a teen - not like a mature adult. And I
have doubts to his true maturity.
Lupin - one who seems mature but isn't. (but true teens&kids don't
know that).
Sirius Black - just the opposite of Lupin, I think - IS mature but
doesn't seem to be. (to Molly, at least.)

Most teachers at Hogwarts at least ARE truly mature (anyone over 70 it
seems...)
