I genuinely do not understand how some people write fic about the Marauder's era and manage to make Regulus Black, a guy whose life and death meant absolutely nothing, (it's sad but lets be honest, his sacrifice was useless) more important to the lore than THE Severus Snape.
I really cannot comprehend how anyone can write ANYTHING about that time period without Snape being a main/important character. It's not even about how he is written, I don't care if you see him as the devil. But he was important and relevant to the lore of both sides. Like the guy IS the lore. He was Lily's friend for 5 years out of 7, he has to appear in her life at some point. He was in CANON friends with some of the slytherin. Even in the marauder's stories, he IS important. And later he is most relevant during the war, was it as a DE or a spy
I cannot count the number of fic written in the marauder's era, where I just kept looking for his name to appear, only to realise he was not going to be mentioned or at most as the most backgroung character possible. Like do people realise it's not possible to write about the canon/most known characters of that era without him popping up every two chapters or what. Especially in fics that claim to be canon compliant about the events during school and the war and in fic with multiple POV. How can Regulus have a POV in a story that follow the Marauders and not Snape ?
You can hate him all you want but even then you have to admit Severus Snape is a main character of that era, if not THE main character, if we take into account that he was the only character whose life, death, and side could have an impact on the war (expect Dumbledore and Voldy of course)
Plus, he literally became the main character of BOTH wars by being a spy.
It keeps baffling me when I don't see him.
Like he is so relevant to the lore HP could have been SS and we would've have all the missing lore of the first war. I really do not understand how people can making him less important than RAB or Evan Rosier.
Anyway RIP Severus Snape, you have been made a background character of you own story.
Edit : It's the same phenomenom in tiktok post where there is a description of every character under the sun even the most minor, unsignificant, absolutly irrelevent to the story character, and then you swipe and swipe again and again and there is no Severus Snape. Like what ?
