Snape: ... I'm getting old.

McGonagall:

Snape: I'm going to die alone.

McGonagall: So am I. Don't worry, we can die alone together.

Snape:

Snape: (begrudgingly) I wouldn't mind dying alone together.

McGonagall: See? Life isn't too bad now, is it.

Dark and disheartening times again, so I thought to make a special that feels warm, safe and cozy.

He's SO coquette

I don't even know what's going on so to me it literally looks like a Disney princess Christmas movie where the prince is trying to keep the princess from escaping and she doesn't want to stay with him

Please, pay attention to HOW MUCH Snape avoids intrusion into his personal space and touching. However, this does not prevent him from actively invading Harry's personal space

Snape: I'm so good at Occlumency that the Dark Lord has no idea I'm lying to him.

Voldemort after 2 seconds in Snape's mind: Yikes on a bike. Never going in there again.

Manipulation is when they disturb your peace, provoke you, trigger your mental health, and then blame you for your negative reactions.

As an ex marauders fan. The Severus snape fans were the only people I ever had nice interactions with other hp universe fans

& the lily evans whorsping made me really uncomfy they all mass commented on Severus fans edits calling him creepy for loving her but the way they are about her low-key scared me/ was actually creepy. I don’t think I’ll ever interact with another blog that posts about anything hp related unless it says anti-marauders. The characters don’t really annoy me but the people in that fandom are out of touch in a harmful way as opposed to a fun escapism way

I definitely hear you, anon.

I assure you that you aren't the only one who feels this way. I've gotten asks like this before and Im sure a lot of other Snape blogs have as well.

Honestly, the marauder fandom was my first interaction with the hp fandom in general, and it was more of the fans that threw me off than the characters. Ive loved Snape since I was in 4th grade and let me tell you...I had never felt so outcast in my life 😭 it was deranged. I was so glad (and surprised) to have found the Snapedom (I haven't said that in so long 😩)

I think I've talked about the Lily community before but, in my opinion, they only praise her like that because of James. I put MONEY on it that they'd hate her if she would have ended up with Severus, or they'd ignore her if she'd chosen neither of them. Honestly, look at what the wolfstar community does with her character...a tragedy.

But yea, the Snape community is welcoming whether you like the marauders or not. You come in peace, it stays peaceful. I love it 💚

(And a lot of the Snape community likes the marauders as well. In fact, a lot of Snape fans like the marauders more than actual marauders stans, but that's a whole conversation for another day🤣)

Longbottoms boggart wasn't Snape.

I mean you'd think this would be obvious enough - but people who hate Snape bring it up as their sort of trump card. "He was so bad he was a 13yr olds biggest fear!" No. He wasn't. Boggarts don't quite work like that. Boggarts are not themselves your worst fear - they make you FEEL your worst fear. Hermione isn't actually scared of McGonagall. (I'm sure alot of first years are scared of her though I mean she is strict and stern and a little scary at first.) Did she have some irrational fear of suddenly failing all her classes? Yeah, maybe a little bit - but it is BECAUSE she is scared of not being good enough. From the first book we see her struggling to fit in with her peers. She is muggleborn, she learned she was a witch so suddenly that she poured herself into being the most perfect witch she could.

Professor McGonagall, a stern and strict witch she respects, telling her she isn't good enough despite all of her best efforts makes her FEEL her worst fear. It has nothing to do with Minerva personally - honestly it could probably be replaced with Dumbledore or someone... its just she has far more interaction with Minerva.

SO - Longbottom and Snape: How do I know that Snape isn't his absolute worst fear? Because he still attends Potions every fucking week!!! Do you think RON could attend Charms if it was run by a spider?!? He can pass Snape in the hall, he can sit in the same room as Snape, he can even be teased and bullied by Snape. His parents were tortured to insanity by Death Eaters. Severus Snape is NOT his worst fear, that's stupid. Snape just makes him FEEL his worst fear - like McGonagall makes Hermione feel hers. SO what is Neville worst fear? I think the clue comes with him quickly saying that he also wouldn't want the Boggart to turn into his grandma. Inadequacy. Neville has never been good enough. He has low self worth. The tiniest bits of praise overwhelm him. He never wins any house points and losing some devastates him. He got his magic late, his family kept trying to tease it out of him, thought he was maybe a squib. He has a proud legacy to uphold and he is terrified he cannot. He is the worst potions student Snape has ever had.

Snape makes Neville feel inadequate. His grandmother makes him feel inadequate. But mix them together... and suddenly these two very scary people that seem to have such control over his life... look a little ridiculous.

DO you think Lupin is LITERALLY scared of the moon...? Or does the moon make him feel powerless and dangerous and inhumane? DO you think Harry is LITERALLY scared of Dementors...? Or is he scared of how powerless he is against the horrible way they make him feel - the trauma they bring up from the deep recesses of his mind?

Snape was not so horrific, so awful, so scary, so mean - that he as a man became Nevile's worst fear. He, like his grandma, makes him feel inadequate.

This! This actually summed it up very well.

Also, we don't talk enough about the fact that Neville's family did things like throw him off a pier and hang him out of the window, endangering his safety, endangering his life, because they were afraid of him being a squib. The risk of being without magic was enough to have his family risk his life. Talk about magical prejudice.

When you're raised like Neville, with that irrational pressure and mistreatment, you can't handle authority figures very well. You get anxiety, fear of failing and making mistakes. And authority figures that are more hard edged can be enough to unravel you entirely.

Snape himself wasn't Neville's worst fear. He was the closest to mind physical manifestation of Neville's emotional trauma from a lifetime of pressure and feelings of inadequacy.

this is so relatable. i lived through it and hence can relate to neville so much. and this explaination is so nicely given.
