Agreed, bc you notice, Snape was never mean to Dumbledore and Mcgonagall bc they accepted him and tolerated most of his bs. Despite Dumbledore making him VERY angry at times he always respected him

There was capacity for being a better person, but his dad seriously fucked him up https://twitter.com/siriusaddict/status/1307158072989802496

I mean obviously everyone has a choice to be a better person, but Snape was physically abused, mentally abused, watched his father beat the absolute shit out of his mother, was bullied by everyone except Lily, and when he lashed out at her he lost her support

Dumbledore was-

-one of the only people who was always in his ballpark but that was when he was an adult

Tbh I hold the school accountable for how he turned out and acted bc they never made a move to remove him from his family, and they never even addressed him bullying Harry

Hogwarts as a school is shitty when it comes to protecting kids bc the students do horrible things to one another. Harry nearly kills Draco with no repurcussions, Sirius tried to get Snape killed and if Lupin hadn't saved him he would've died, and there was no punishment. Not to-

-mention all of the less serious hexes and curses they get up to.
