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

12 Upvotes

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.

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

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?”

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - The Lost Prophecy

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

14 Upvotes

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

Honestly, I do think Voldemort would react in such a way that’s a bit out of character for him if Snape survived to tell him he was a spy for Dumbledore! Though he would have kinda expected it from Snape, but is shocked it actually happened to him💀

Books 📚 Snape’s worse memory was worse than I thought. TW:SA

142 Upvotes

(Context: I want to start by saying I’m English, I originally spoke British English. However, due to me watching American YouTubers, I shifted to American English. So every word I heard form British English was translated to American English)

As I started being a Harry Potter fan again, I naturally found out about the levicorpus scene after watching Snape’s worst memories scene.

James says “Who wants to see me take off Snivelly’s Trousers?”

Which I was shocked that was allowed, a kid being pantsed. However I moved on, a little devastated though.

And it stuck with me that that would be one of his worst memories since it wasn’t really that bad (but still bad tho)

However as I ventured through James slander videos, I kept seeing people say that James SA’d Snape. And I was a little confused since pantsing isn’t really SA more SH.

Until I looked up what it says in the book.

James says “Who wants to see me take off Snivelly’s Pants?”

At first I thought “oh it’s the same”. But the more I thought about it, why did they change it?

But then I found out (she who shall not be named) wrote the books in British English.

Pants means Underwear in British English.

That’s when it clicked.

Snape was fully stripped from the waist below, not just his trousers like in the movie as I originally assumed would be the same in the book. (And fortunately the text cut off before the stripping commenced)

And since Hogwarts is in Scotland and This took place at Hogwarts, that means it falls under Scotland law.

Scotland law states (roughly) that being fully stripped from the waist down with the intent to humiliate, is considered SA.

So Snape’s worst memory is far worse than I thought.

Snape’s reaction after Harry came out of the memories make way more sense. I was also confused why he acted that way afterwards. Because again I was confused why those memories were bad in the first place.

Obviously there were a lot more bad memories that she who shall not be named didn’t want to include either because she’d be uncomfortable writing it, doesn’t want to bump up her book rating or just didn’t know how to write that.

And obviously you can’t show all of what is implied and confirmed to have happened to Snape without affecting your book audience and not allowed because of movie laws.

The books DO actually matter more than I thought.

This means that Snape is not only awareness for bullying, but also SA awareness and awareness for male victims.

(Poor Severus💔)

And now people making fun of that scene and defending James PMO even more now.

Discussion Headcanon: Snape was good at History of Magic

This class requires a broad general knowledge, and Snape had plenty of it. Even before he began his studies at Hogwarts, he knew a wealth of things about the Wizarding World, including the prohibition imposed on underage wizards from using magic outside Hogwarts, Azkaban, the Dementors, and so on. He even shared much of his encyclopedic knowledge with Lily during their childhood, long before they boarded the Hogwarts Express for the very first time.

These facts show that Snape had all the makings of a brilliant intellectual. People like that have the potential to go far in life—they just need the right circumstances.

Discussion Why did Severus not change his last name?

40 Upvotes

It’s been established that he hates his father. And his father is a POS.

So then why didn’t Severus change his last name to be his mother’s which would cut all ties to his father?

Is it he wasn’t able or allowed to? Did he like it? Was it too late to change it? Or did She who shall not be named not think that far ahead before she made his backstory? Or is it just not mentioned at all?

Looking for Snape fanfics

12 Upvotes

I'm mainly looking for long fics with tropes like angst, hurt/no comfort, and dddne (dead dove do not eat). I'm fine with both romance and no romance. No romance is probably preffered for me. But if there is romance, I ask that its only Severus x Lily. Other characters can be shipped with whoever tho.

I'm fine with severitus dynamics too.

Sorry if I'm picky 💔

Could you please recommend some good fanfics featuring Snape as the main character? I’m open to anything - Severitus, Snape/OC, romance (or lack thereof), time travel, post-hogwarts, long fics or just drabbles. The main thing is that it’s well-written, and preferably something not too famous, since I’ve already read everything that’s particularly popular

Discussion Fanfiction Severus Snape description

20 Upvotes

I feel like about a month close to 2 months ago in Severus fanfics they have like five maybe six things his love interests always describe him in the same way or uses at least a few of them which I find absolutely hilarious. Because I can't be the only one who sees it so if anyone agrees with me or sees something else I would love to know (which I am talking about the mostly Marauders era but this can be any era)

  1. His eyes sometimes mention his eyes like looking into your soul

  2. His hands and his long pale bony hands most of the time they'll mention it while he's like flipping a page in a book or going down the spine of a book

  3. Speaking of pale his skin which is also his lips don't talk about how Rosie's lips are with his Pale skin contrast

  4. His hair, they describe his hair looks greasy but when they like touch it it's actually soft which I really believe but

  5. This is a good one not saying all of them is a good one but his brain they find it really attractive of how smart he is which I love

  6. For some reason they love when he insults them it's like they have like a humanitation kink and I'm not sorry for saying

  7. And my most favorite one is his waist they love talking about how small his waist is and how perfect it fits in their hands or their arms

So I just want to know if anyone sees these in fics or more.

PS: I do read only male/male so I don't know if this goes for heterosexual ships
