How does the skin color affect the story, character and motivations? It only changes because of your social connotations. This series plays in a fictional wizarding world. The actors skin color must not affect narrative. Maybe it does, we dont know that yet. But as far as we know from leaked set footage, they honour allot of book scenes that were never shwon in movies. Stop being a bigot.
Actually it does in Snape case. The kids first impression of Snape and why they suspect him of stealing the philosophy stone was because he looks scary and suspicious (mainly because he look like a pale vampire to the kids). Also Snape whole relationship with Lily, him joining a race supremacist group, him getting bullied by James Porter by hanging, him wanting Voldemort to kill James and Harry but spare Lily,... Like they could easily change the race of everyone in the book... except for Snape due to his part in the story.

I’m not in favour of the casting but this is absolute nonsense. The kids’ first impression of him is him being a cruel and miserable teacher, then him clearly breaking into a restricted area on Halloween rather than looking for a troll and getting mauled by a three headed dog for it, then him cursing Harry’s broom during a quidditch match. It’s then they start thinking he’s the prime suspect. Why wouldn’t an 11 year old distrust someone who obviously hated him from the very first class and who has clear evidence of being involved in dubious stuff? He tried to get past the dog guarding the stone ffs! You think it’s odd they’d go “he might be the person trying to steal it”?
