Fic Request/Bunny Farm

[Jinx999]

At no point in the books is there any suggestion that Snape does anything but put a recipe on the board, stalk around spooking the non-Slytherin students while they try to follow it, and set essays between classes. Anything they learn of potions is from the books, on their own time, in spite of him, as far as I can see. Fics that try to make him better usually take it too far the other way, as the mountains of horrible Alan-Rickman-husbando-squee trash will attest.

By the standards of Hogwarts teachers we see, Snape is probably around average. He is better than Binns, Sybill, and Hagrid (although Hagrid does improve significantly as he gets some experience). And half the DADA teachers. He is explicitly good at his subject and can maintain class discipline.

That does not say good things about the standards of the "best school of magic in the world".
