So, Snape is now a Black man who got bullied by a white guy who also stole his girlfriend, and then he went on to join the wizard Nazis. Bold direction.

They'll fix this by making Harrys mom actually love Snape but her racist parents wouldn't let her marry him

Darn, you're probably right.
Because Snape is not meant to be heroic, he's coded as a villain at the start. So how are they gonna make this guy the ugly, mean, consorting with the wizard Nazis character work? They will probably have to re-write his entire backstory so James Potter and the rest are racists for bullying him, and he was always the heroic character going undercover and infiltrating the wizard Nazis on behalf of Dumbledore, which ruins the story. Also if they keep Lily Potter as white, black guy obsessing over white woman and stalking her for decades? That's a big yikes from me!
This is "Rings of Power" level of miscasting. It's supposed to run for seven seasons? If they're lucky, they'll get one season then blame the failure on all the racists who didn't want to see a strong independent black wizard.

No, cast all the characters as BIPOC make all spells rap lyrics. Opening scene should be a group of inner city youths playing basket ball to hip hop.

I want everyone to put aside the skin color non-issue for a fraction of a second to ask if you think a man that looks like that would even remotely be considered well casted for the character serverus snape. the gangly, nerdy, shut in, incel, mean to children, grudge holding, pining for his 8th grade girlfriend while in his 40s, manchild is played by that dude. I'm sorry that makes 0 sense.

Yeah I feel like you have to include him getting called bipoc in flashbacks for the bullying to make sense
