Sometimes I forget just how unbelievable all the things Snape did were, especially in sum. He wasn't only a teacher of a core subject and Head of House in a boarding school, meaning he had to teach at least 36 lessons a week plus marking essays plus doing rounds at night plus attending staff meetings plus being available for his students 24/7, he was also a spy, a position compelling him to attend meetings from both sides regularly, always keeping focused and his guard up, at DE meetings running the risk of being killed or - worse - tortured first until he spilt all of his knowledge, and at times or permanently providing the infirmary (and Lupin) with potions, all while trying to keep a boy with literally no survival instinct alive.

And that was only until the end of book six. After that, he was even stripped of everybody he could ever show a tiny bit of his true self, forced to lead a school that was suddenly following DE rhetoric and teaching (and using!) unforgivables to/on the students.

It's an absolute mystery to me how this man persevered as long as he did. How he was mentally, but especially physically, able to accomplish all of that without slipping up even once. I'm burnt out only from thinking about going through that. What an unbelievable accomplishment...

And the saddest part of all that is that he wouldn't even accept anybody calling it the miracle it was. Like, no, honey, everybody would not have been able to do that, sit down and take your praise, will you?

and I still see them categorise him as “that character who did one good thing at the end of the story”

"Harry also had a shitty childhood and was bullied, but he didn’t turn out like Snape."

True, because:

Harry found refuge at Hogwarts, where he felt welcomed, supported, and protected from the very beginning. Severus did not.

Harry had adult figures who protected him, cared about him (Hagrid, the Weasleys, Dumbledore, Lupin, Sirius...), and showed him affection over the years. Severus did not.

Harry had two friends who would have torn apart anyone who dared to strip him in front of the entire school. Severus did not.

Harry and Malfoy had a rivalry because they were on equal footing. Severus was bullied by a group of guys who attacked him together and were far above him socially and economically.

Harry was rich—disgustingly rich, to be exact. Severus was disgustingly poor.

Harry felt loved from the moment Hagrid came for him just after his 11th birthday. Severus never felt loved in his entire damn life.

Harry was favored by Dumbledore and other school staff on multiple occasions. Dumbledore forced Severus to stay silent about an attempted murder against him.

Harry had choices. Severus had nothing.

The funniest thing about Snape haters is that they spend their lives using the argument of how awful he was to Harry, when Harry James Potter is the actual fucking founding partner and number-one fanboy of that man’s fan club lmao
