How would you fare as Snape's student?
I have dealing with much worse bullying by teacher. So i think snape is still better teacher for me.
As long as you put all of ingredient and stir according to chalksboard,you will doing alright in his lesson. Harry fail is many on his own fault(he let himself listening to umbridge interview of snape while he must only focused on his potions 🙂 ) and turns out the one who fails is always longbottom. Crabbe and goyle never melting the cauldron.
In my school,teacher are greatest authority besides headmaster. You cannot answer cheekily with your teacher without consequences. If you asked question and then teacher told you sternly "wait until our teaching is over" you will wait without question. I know it was different from middle and high school in the west,but in the end,we turned alright.
I'm not even feeling arrogant for this answer: I would do well, potions would be my favorite class. I have done experiments where a single mistake could turn dangerous or lethal without the proper precautions, so I know for certain that wouldn't mess things up.
In school I never drew attention to myself or answered any questions before being directly asked, so he would have no reason to bully me. If he did, I would probably only work harder to prove him wrong. I generally like teachers who can keep the dunderheads under control... over here teachers tolerate a bit of cheek and can engage in discussions with the students.
