Well we need a reason for Harry not to trust him early on in the series.

Genuinely peak as it brings further issue with Snapes situation between worlds as a half blood getting lynched by a rich white boy and his friends.

Jesus Christ how are people seriously still calling that a lynching? He got hung by his ankles in the air which isn’t meant to kill only humiliate… and it wasn’t even under a tree like everyone says (the marauders were sitting under a tree and then left that space to go after Snape). This is just classic bullying without any racial element, and news flash sometimes people of different races bully each other without it being racial.

Like it’s insulting to call that a lynching. Extrajudicial murder based on racism isn’t the same thing as bullying.
