in the books we're aware that we're reading from Harry's POV, whereas the way it's presented on-screen is as though we're a fly on the wall.
And what I'm saying is that that isn't necessarily true, it's just your assumption. It isn't as easy to tell in a movie when we're in "third-person-limited" and when we're not.
On top of that, I'm also saying that even if the filmmakers did intend to show us a more objective picture of Snape, we aren't under any obligation to take that picture into account!
