I'm having trouble wrapping my head around people thinking that Snape must somehow turn into an entirely different person because he has a walking handicap. I'd picture him as just as snarky with crutches, with the bonus of always having something heavy on hand to thwack people with.
And on a personal-opinion note, I wrote a series of fanfics in which a character who was (canonically) severely physically handicapped ended up being repaired. Was this an offensive concept right from the get-go? Should I not have done that?
