I mean, you don’t see anyone sticking up for the Dursley’s or Umbridge, when they do the same stuff to Harry as Snape. How is Snape any different?
The female mosquito is the only one that’s sucks blood. She does this to feed the blood to her babies. Next time you go to smack one on your arm, think about those poor children.
I can’t imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting. I actually tend to suspect that in real life, there have always been very strong female characters, but at certain stages of society, they’ve been asked to cool it.
