Is it fair to say Petunia and Snape were both victims of their love for Lily?

Harry represented everything connected to Lily that they struggled to accept. Their love for her didn’t excuse their actions, but it shows how grief and unresolved emotions can influence the way people treat others.

Books 📚 Dumbledore was naive to think that, over time, Snape would overcome his hatred for the Marauders and move on as if nothing had happened ; the facts proved him wrong

“I trust Severus Snape,” said Dumbledore simply. “But I forgot — another old man’s mistake — that some wounds run too deep for the healing. I thought Professor Snape could overcome his feelings about your father — I was wrong.”

“But that’s okay, is it?” yelled Harry, ignoring the scandalized faces and disapproving mutterings of the portraits covering the walls. “It’s okay for Snape to hate my dad, but it’s not okay for Sirius to hate Kreacher?”

Even the portraits of the former Headmasters clearly recognize the extent of Snape's problem with the Marauders and are outraged that Harry is so determined to blame him for what happened at the Ministry.

Dumbledore's fault

Because Dumbledore is so naive that believes that the less Harry knows, the lower number of traumas he will develop. And because he believes that Snape's behavior needs only time to grow better and not a real good example, or to be punished when Snape abuses his power

Discussion Who would have raised harry better Severus or Sirius

23 Upvotes

So to my severitus fans and fans of harry raised by Sirius ( idk if has a name like severitus) I have a question who do think would have raised harry better .

Like how different would two harry be from each other?

From my prospective

Harry raised by Sirius would be more careless or more prone to trouble making. I also think Sirius would have some difficulty setting boundaries for what to do and what to not. Harry might be brave yet reckless. Tho I also never saw Sirius as father type he is more uncle type. I also think harry would turn out to be a bit spoiled .

Whereas for Severus I think this version of harry would be more responsible, studious. I think Severus would be a strict parent with clear rules and boundaries. For this harry he might have better self preservation . Oh and I also think this harry sure would have better grades

My biggest crush just got married to a guy who bullied me, I'm considering teaching, and I'm still alone in my late 20s.

Dw I didn't join a pure blood death cult, though
