> Here is how I see it. At first Harry sees a teacher punishing a boy who **deserved to be punished** IMO for something wrong that he did. Said teacher used a punishment, which was a bit over the top. He did not use an unforgivable on him, he did not make him bleed, he did not cause him any permanent injury. He caused him a humiliation and probably some pain.<

Pippin:
Hmmm...well, if Harry does not have any problem with that, then we can understand why he didn't have any lasting  problem with the way Snape treated him once he understood that  Snape believed sincerely that Harry deserved to be punished. 

When a sadistic person punishes, he is going to punish sadistically, because he doesn't know what it's like *not* to be sadistic. He has a choice about whether to punish or not, he doesn't have a choice about liking it.
