I'm not a Snape fan nor do I like Draco very much which is why I 
guess I can look at the subject objectively. 

Snape and Draco are both evolving characters. A reader's first 
impression of them is that they represent the dark arts at 
Hogwarts, yet threw out the books you begin to understand why 
they do the things they do ,and in the end I think everyone 
felt pity for them.

 

Angel:

 

I guess it is more a matter of expectations than subjectivity as your
"dislike" already colours your perception yet you read each without
expectation thus did not err on any side.

 

I fell in love with Severus from the very first having watched Rickman
before reading Rowling's character, I guess I like my men mysterious, super
intelligent and quick on the gibe, heck I even like them haunted <g>.  With
Draco even, I expected more but at each turn his character remained
stagnant, merely to bring out the "supposed" best in the trio until HBP when
he actually grew a brain, which is interesting because in all great works,
the protagonist can only be great if its antagonist is too.   I am only
willing to admit thus, that James must have been somewhat brilliant -
accomplished animagi and not least to attain the privilege of being Severus'
arch nemesis lol <beg>.  

 

May also explain why Harry was himself a twit as Draco was his obvious
antagonist in school and Draco limited as he was, prohibited Harry to grow
also.  In summation quite a horrific thought - just think of the bag of
idiocy Voldemort proved to be, just as well as he was offed, can't imagine
Harry being any dumber than he already was <beg>
