Right? Snape is one of my (predicatably) problematic faves in fiction, but I would never let him around a child in real life!

(If he was a prodigy able to defend a thesis at university level at 12, undoubtedly little F1 appeared slow to him by comparison.)

Oh, yeah, that makes total sense. I *cough* have not always been the most patient teacher either, though I'm trying to get better.
