Hieronymus Grabiner is such a well written character. He takes everything that was good and interesting about Severous Snape, and gives him motivations and back story that actually make sense.

A teacher at a magical school with the philosophy "teenagers arent going to fear the very dangerous magic they're learning to wield, they're teenagers and so wont take the risks seriously and dont know enough about magic to know how truly dangerous it can be if they're not careful about it. Those same teenagers will absolutely fear the scary strict teacher though, so I'll use that to keep them safe until they learn better" is just fantastic and fascinating.

The fact that hes doing it to make sure no one makes arrogant, tragic mistakes mistakes like he did in his youth? A+

The fact that the big scary detentions he gives out are not actually that bad and actually apply to the behavior hes trying to teach about? So good. "Write me an essay about why this thing you did was dangerous", "read this book about people angering the fae and tell me how they could have avoided that" much more applicable and educational than any punishment anyone gave out in hp.

You want a broody strict british magical professor with a good heart? Its him.
