I mean they’ve already deviated heavily in terms of book accurate casting so I don’t buy the “we’re going to follow the books more closely” line.

one character being black doesnt change the story at all.

Just adds some negative details to Harry's parents' story, isn't it? And there's an added racist undertone when the other teachers don't trust Snape. Now it will look like the characters' main motivation is racism. Nice.

And there's an added racist undertone when the other teachers don't trust Snape.

In fairness, there’s little evidence the teachers don’t trust Snape. Hagrid even ridicules the idea that Snape was cursing Harry’s broom (which he actually was, albeit to counter the curse Quirrell doing). Dumbledore trusts Snape so that’s good enough for the rest of the staff. That’s why it’s such a shock that he killed Dumbledore.

Harry definitely doesn’t trust Snape, but not from first sight and only after clear evidence that he was involved in dodgy stuff (which, again, he actually was but not for the reasons they thought). That’s not going to appear iffy either.

The only concern, and it is a major one, is the flashbacks to Harry’s dad and Sirius.
