To be clear, this conflation is a problem because Snape was forced into the circumstances that caused him to have such strong emotions. None of us get to chose when our loved ones die of course, but I always got the impression Snape didn't have many friends, and so having the one of the few people who cared about him die probably gave him some baggage that was not a result of inherent personality traits.

Just because he evaluates people through his personal lens, doesn't imply that's something he's comfortable with. I think Snape in part singled Harry out in part because it reminded him of a part of himself he had been trying to keep represed. Not just because the memory was so painful, but because Snape didn't really know how to deal with strong emotions in grenal.
Of course, that gets into interpretation of the text, but given how many emotional walls Snape seems to erect, I think it's a fair reading.
Ultimately, you're conflating "makes heavy use of" and "is comfortable with."

We can first pretend that this argument is actually a good one and then say that : it is the same guy who protected with his very life the same son of the woman he loved. What's stronger, his hate or his love ?

But more importantly, you're litterally describing leading and being comfortable with Fi in Socionics terms. That's all he does, constantly evaluating people through his emotional lenses and keeping those evaluations deep within himself to the point they define his very existence.

I could see him having Fi as a role function. But as a leading function? A persons leading function is supposed to be something there comfortable with right? But Snape? Bitter, sarcastic, petty Snape? The guy who took out his grudge on a dead man for being mean to him as a teenager by bullying and intimidating that guys twelve year old son? Not exactly the height of emotional competence.

Isn't this character like the very definition of socionics Fi ? No ?
Moving from him wanting to be a part of something (enneagram 6 thing) , why did he feel comfortable all these years with the Death Eaters but suddenly decided to betray them ? Because his principles were violated or because his loved one was - contrary to what he initially thought - murdered ?
What did he decide to show to Harry, as last words ? Was it not a summary of his life, with the focus being on his relationships to the major figures he met with each relationship receiving a set value of interest or disinterest from him ?
From his motives and goals, to his way of life, to even little details like his Patronus being the same as Lily, everything about him is introverted ethics at its purest.

"These Ones are avengers; they are not afraid of confrontations. They may be containing a murderous rage that they cannot see. Their anger can be like a volcano that erupts. They perceive themselves as strong. They have great strength and determination and can be very brave. They are also impulsive and do things quickly.

Sexual Ones have two sides: a more playful side oriented toward pleasure and an aggressive, angry side. Pain is the emotion they repress the most and the one they find most difficult to show. They may act out their unacknowledged pain by leading a double life as a way of breaking the rules. Some Sexual Ones display "trap-door" behavior, discharging their anger and pain through "bad" acts.

ISTJ>INTJ. (CF's Si)he percieve the world by the prism of his personnal experiences instead of abstract symbol (Ni). despise harry because he look like his father. he is also far too past oriented for being an INTJ. his very detailed book about potions indicate CF's Si.

he is not a 4, being in love or creative don't make you a 4. he choose to join voldemort because he desire to belonging somewhere. his huge loyalty to dumbledore also indicate 6.
