Maybe. Snape isn't exactly a sympathetic character, though; he almost was, but ended up being a true villain.

Maybe you're right, with a different author perhaps this would be uncontroversial. It's hard to not read racism into it given her politics, though. The only thing that would have looked worse, given her nationality and politics, would have been if they'd made Snape Pakistani.
