Who calls their students 'darling' and asks them to sit on their lap? Sure, it's fiction, but in real life in similar context, targeting underage female students like this and calling them not like everyone else, special, is a red flag bc that's what manipulators do to take advantage. Also this 'see, what side you bring up in me', as if he would not be in perfect control of his own sides and masks which he as a character absolutely is in the books and films, is absolutely danger zone. This scenario is well on its way to stepping to the territory of power abuse and should be seen as such, not sexualised or romanticised. Sure someone might like this but it should be made clear what is it that they actually like, as this very slightly and subtly steps into the pXdophile porn culture which gets to be normalised. It's in fact contributing to this.
Sounds like Benedict Cumberbatch's Rickman as Snape which works!
