I do believe she was not a villain in the movie either, cause, while I thought she was a little hard on Mike, I could see it was for his own good. She knew he had heart and determination, but at the same time wanted to protect him from failure and the embarrassment of seeing that he's not scary at all, which backfired despite her best efforts. She's hard on the students because she wants to push them to their full capability. But at the same time I consider her a bit condescending, or even a bit full of herself. I do however agree that she had to be hard on sully, he was full of himself and needed to face reality: you don't put effort in your work, you won't pass. But, I do see the bet of letting Mike being expelled a little too harsh should he fail. She may be strict, but she has the best interests for the both of them, as she realizes this at the end.
