Hating Severus Snape for being a dysfunctional guy who hates kids, hates his job, and whose defense mechanism against trauma is attacking, sarcasm, and gratuitous bitterness isn't about hating a fictional character; it's about hating adulthood. He literally represents any working-class person who is about to or has already passed thirty. His haters are more against the idea of growing up than against him lol
