Um, well college students should be able to handle something like 
that, I think. NO - not the vendetta teacher has against them, nobody 
should be subjected to that IMO, but just harsher talk, if you know 
what I mean.

But to subject eleven year old to that and whom your activities hurt 
so much? Ugh, die Snape, please die, maybe in  your after life Lily 
would hunt you forever and ever.

Somebody in this thread mentioned something about lawschool teachers 
being like that.

Um, I am sure there are teachers like that in law schools and trust 
me, I think law school students should **definitely** be able to 
handle them - to prepare for RL bastards indeed.

But the funny thing is speaking from experience *I* had NO teachers 
like Snape in law school. Not even close. There were strict teachers, 
nice teachers, patient ones, amazing and even the one who came to 
lecture drunk.

But **no teacher** in my classes treated any student even close to 
what like Snape treated Harry and Neville.

Alla:

I will bet you anything that Harry had a chance to like Potions, 
especially now when we know that Lily was good at them. IMO of 
course. Genes if nothing else, heheh. I know that while I cannot draw 
as my father did, every other subject that I loved at school and was 
good at was exactly what he loved at school and was good at. And 
other subjects were what my mom was good at. Does not always have to 
be like that, but I observed it often enough that kids do have a 
chance to be good at same things as their parents. Again - NOT always 
obviously.
