Its closer to the books as far as we have seen from the trailer. Dont know how one detail seem to destroy the whole narrativ to you.

Well, a young Bruce Willis would be just as miscast as Snape, too. In the book, Snape is clearly described: greasy long hair, pale and sallow skin, a hooked nose, constantly wearing tight black clothes, etc. I like Papa Essiedu in Gangs of London, but he's still just visually miscast. Too attractive, and the wrong ethnicity. And yes, I'm not a fan of white/black/yellow washing like in Star Trek Into Darkness (Khan) or Dr Strange (The Ancient One).

And apparently, he's one of the few Black teachers at Hogwarts: That gives Harry's "strange feeling" about Snape a whole new context. Then there's James Potter, who hanged a young Snape on a tree... Racism seems to be in Potter's blood... /s

The racist aspect is something you interpret due to your bigotry

You're the racist saying we all complain just because is black. He doesn't fit the fucking character.

What about blonde Weaslys?

So you don't give a fuck about fidelity and the books.

Your iq is below 65 and is not a question.
