these details matter

Arbitrarily changing the race of Snape, especially when it serves no purpose other than performative inclusivity, is not representation – it is tokenism. It sends the message that minority characters are not worth developing on their own and must instead be inserted into pre-existing roles for the sake of appearances. This approach is not progressive - it is patronizing and reductive. Just as it would be wrong to make Kingsley Shacklebolt or Dean Thomas Caucasian, change Cho Chang's heritage to Australian, cast Fleur Delacour as German, or give Hermione straight blond hair, it is equally wrong to disregard Snape's distinct character traits. Similarly, no one would accept altering Harry's lightning bolt scar into a circle - because these details matter.
