snape couldāve been an awesome teacher if he wasnāt a disgusting waste of a human being. he knew from age 16 that the instuctions that the textbooks were giving werenāt as good as they could be. he improved the potions and recorded his methods at age 16. if he werenāt such a shitbag, he couldāve either written the damn textbooks himself, or taught his students his alternate methods. he couldāve revolutionized how potions were being brewed, teaching whole generations a superior method of potion brewing. instead, he spent his time bullying children.Ā
He could have become rich and famous and been one of the most well regarded wizards of his age with his knowledge of spells and potions
But instead he decided āThe girl i hurled racial slurs at put me in the Friend Zone so Iām gonna go become a Magic Nazi and then spend the remainder of my adult years emotionally abusing twelve year oldsā
He could have become everything a Slytherin should have been instead of the epitome of what everyone else thinks they are.
i never thought about the potions things but damn u right
