After handing back an exam that didn't go too badly, he told us basically that we lose. Yes, go him for being brave and not caring what others think of him, but no one ever gave Snape a prize for being a jerk. You would think that he would have realized that students do better when they don't have to constantly worry about their professor being unfair, or overly fair. I am reminded of the times that Professor Snape would give ridiculous reading assignments to poor Harry Potter when my TA stops allowing homework to be submitted at 10 pm on a friday night. Very fair, right? Yes, I suppose, except that other TAs are being much nicer. Why did I get stuck with Professor Snape instead of McGonagall? She actually cared and understood when Harry and Ron messed up from goofing off, instead of making them a public example.
I was going to try to sneak a picture of my TA to show you how closely he resembles Severus, but it's so close, just imagine the above photo with short hair. Talk about cosmic twins.
