I left out that he'd pretty much ruined Draco's roots, but you're right that nobody's buying it. Especially Snape.
Oh, it was absolutely systematically abuse, and I had a teacher who was verbally abusive too, if not to this degree. (I hope that wasn't the case with you.) It also likely contributed to Neville's problems, hence why he was scared of him.
I never thought that was why Snape hated Harry, even when others said it, but it made sense when JKR wrote it, though I would have introduced it earlier than she did.
