But I simply cannot get over the fact that Lupin endangers every single child in the school, whereas Snape *protects* them. Yes, Lupin is far more likable than Snape (I have said elsewhere that I would have suffered greatly in Snape's classroom), but this is a very serious failing. So much so that I am inclined to agree with the commentator who said she would rather have Snape than Lupin as a babysitter. She might well come home to psychically damaged kids after a bout with Snape, but they would all be alive, at any rate! No guarantees of that with Lupin. As to Snape having joined the racist murdering Death Eaters - I am now not at all sure that he *ever* agreed with their agenda. But I guess you haven't read the rest of my writings yet.
Anyway, I'm also not at all sure that we're supposed to *like* Snape. I would take Arthur or Hagrid as a babysitter over either of them - I think. But I still agree that the kiddies would be safer with Snape than with Lupin.
