Alan Rickman

and Severus Snape

[juderuo]

An unfortunate role.

How lonely an existence where everyone he was fighting for hated him.

I've noticed something about Snape—one of his biggest red lines, the thing that truly pushes him to his limit, is when someone's life is in danger.

In those moments, he becomes the most vulnerable version of himself. He forgets everything—every grudge, every precaution, every defense mechanism—and his only focus is getting people out of harm's way, no matter the cost.

So vulnerable that hearing about Ginny Weasley's kidnapping forces him to lean on the back of a chair. So vulnerable and unguarded that while saving Harry from Quirrell’s curse, an eleven-year-old sets him on fire. So vulnerable that, in his attempt to manage the chaos of the Shrieking Shack—with children, a werewolf, and a supposed murderer—he’s disarmed by 13-year-olds. He's so reckless that he makes an Unbreakable Vow for Draco. So reckless that he chases a werewolf, without Wolfsbane, under the full moon near sunset. So reckless that he ventures into the Forbidden Forest to find lost children. So reckless that he roams the hallways in the middle of the night, in his nightgown, chasing the sound of a scream. So reckless that, as a Death Eater, he risks everything to warn the leader of the opposite side about Voldemort's plans to kill the Potters—and is willing to give anything to save them. He's so ungrudging that he carefully carries an unconscious Sirius Black. So ungrudging that when Black is captured, he checks on him immediately and alerts the Order of the Phoenix. So ungrudging that he risks his cover to save Lupin.

And I think these moments say so much about his humanity—things the books never fully explain.

Severitus be like...

When his mother suggested it, Severus knew it was doomed to failure. They had never done anything like this before, and the young Slytherin had the impression that there was a reason for it.

The first creak of the stairs. The first doubt. They were both coming down, he hadn't seen them yet, but he already knew the expression on his father's face. He didn't want to be here at all, he didn't want to hear it, he didn't want to see him in the robes of a school whose customs he had no idea about. But my mother thought it was a good idea.

Honestly, their conversation didn't go as bad as he thought. He even skipped commenting at the sight of a rat. They quarreled only later, when all the expenses were added up. He didn't interfere because what was he supposed to say? It was actually a bit absurd, but… It was impossible to patch up the holes left by potions. It wasn't just any hole, and he…

He really liked experimenting with them.

Maybe he should actually take better care of his things?

If you think about it, in his entire life, Tobias Snape had only seen his son in his school uniform a handful of times. Those few minutes when he and his mother returned from shopping, and she talked him into showing up, were the longest of them.

*Snape coming back to Grimmauld Place after a Death Eaters meeting*

Severus: I have a complete control over myself. I am master of my feelings, I only rely on logical thoughts and I am prefectly good in taking care of my needs.

McGonagall: *sigh* Severus, dear. You came back with a frappuccino and fourteen packs of cigarettes. And you've been bleeding for half an hour.

For a spy whose whole thing is lying, Snape is remarkably honest in his interactions with Harry.

One look from him was enough for Severus to hide here with the book. He thought that the summer behind him would change him a little, give him a drop of courage, but it didn't. But it's only a moment. This is just a snippet of his life, a snippet they will remember as a warning.

He was sitting alone under a tall tree at the edge of the castle courtyard, where autumn was blooming in all its majesty. The surrounding leaves had transformed into a real palace of shades of orange, red, and gold. It was, however, a series of colors muffled by a delicate mist falling around. October was doing its dance, the wind winding around the branches and gently whispering comforting sighs to him. “Calm down, Severus, it wasn't all that bad,” his only friend in such situations – his imagination – tried to suggest anything to stop the tide of tears streaming down his flushed cheeks.

Despite his strong stubbornness, Severus couldn't stop. He's stuck here again for a few hours, on the cold ground, where he probably shouldn't be sitting in this weather. And cried. And cried. And cried. And Severus didn't cry beautifully. He wasn't one of those people who stared into space and thought about their pain. Severus was sobbing, Severus was shaking, grunting, blowing his nose every now and then, he was as loud as he could possibly be, although everything inside him was screaming for him to be quiet. Because he really wanted to go back to the castle. He wanted to sneak up to the Slytherin dormitory and at least listen to what was being talked about in the common room, but the idea of running into James Potter again terrified him. Severus knew full well that he would have to walk past the Quidditch playing field, if he wanted to do so.
