Severus Snape
One of those professors you hope never teaches your class...
Unless you happen to be Draco Malfoy. I, personally, think that both Draco and Snape just need a hug. They probably started out life as perfectly well-adjusted individuals, but as we see in the Potter books and movies, anyone with a father like Draco's would be hard pressed to maintain any compassionate tendencies as he matured. And poor Snape, we see in the Order of the Phoenix, had good reason to feel ill-disposed towards Sirius Black and James Potter. Apparently, no one ever befriended Severus, and he was tormented mercilessly due to his lack of social skills, so he remained a social outcast in the wizarding world.
I applaud Snape for finding the strength inside his own heart and soul to turn from the Dark Arts and funnel his energies towards more positive ends. He is currently the Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
(He is rumored to have a sister who also teaches school somewhere in the United Kingdom. It is said that she is quite as intimidating to her students as Professor Snape is to his!)

You'd better believe it! The evil head of purple house only emerges from her dungeon occasionally to "deal with" particularly troublesome students!

Snape reminds me of my college Organic Chem professor... the one that failed 75% of our class.
