"Severus Snape-" Raw, next question.
When Marauders stans say the Marauders grew up and Snape didn't I always think about that scene in PoA where Sirius bumps Snape's head against the ceiling of the tunnel for no good reason simply because it was fun (same reason as why he bullied him). Really grown up.
Snape on the other hand conjured a stretch to transport him back to the castle. Despite at the moment still thinking that Sirius:
killed 12 innocent muggles and Peter Pettigrew
betrayed the Potters to Voldemort and is therefore the reason Lily died
escaped Azkaban, which was thought to be impossible and therefore meant he must be extremely powerful/dangerous
is now trying to kill Harry (the boy Snape literally sold his life away to protect)
probably hexed/harmed (like Ron's leg) the trio to make them believe he was innocent
And let's not forget that Sirius proved that he was capable of murder at age 15/16 and not just that, he tried to do it on the expense of his "friend", exposing his secret disability and risking him getting expelled or worse. Add to that all the other crimes he committed while bullying Snape and other students like SA or using an illegal hex, and I don't see how anyone could have blamed Snape if he had killed Sirius right there. But he didn't, he didn't let an old grudge (that's what the M stans call it, I would call it trauma from severe bullying, SA and attempted murder, but we all know they don't care about trauma unless it's the trauma the Black brothers got from being cruciod by their parents) control his actions unlike Sirius (who was the bully). And let's not forget the fact that it's actually way easier for the bully to grow up than the victim, yet Sirius didn't.

Love how Snape saw the one thing he was bad at - Quidditch - and his overachieving brain decided to become one of only two people in the world to fly without needing a broom, literally making the need for Quidditch fucking obsolete. Fucking love that for him.
“The Snape fans are always excusing his crap and trying to paint him as a good person, when the whole point is that he wasn’t a good person, he was a bad person who did some good things.”
No, sorry, but that passive-aggressive take is rubbish. Snape wasn’t a bad person, he was a person with a terrible attitude and a difficult personality, and that’s very different from being bad. We, his fans, are fully aware that he was insufferable, and we like him for that. But that doesn’t mean we’re going to attribute to him a kind of cruelty or wickedness that simply isn’t there.
Because a bad person doesn’t spend their life trying to make up for their mistakes. A bad person doesn’t give up their own life to repay a debt. A bad person doesn’t risk everything to protect people who constantly scorn him, distrust him, judge him, and throw dirt on his name. A bad person doesn’t die to help bring down the villains. That’s not what bad people do.
What makes Severus such a complex character isn’t that he was a bad man who did some good, it’s that he was a good man, deeply flawed, often harsh, and far from pleasant or likeable. And that, precisely, is what makes him so compelling.
One think I'd like to see more in fanfic is Severus acknowledging that Lily was flawed.
Of course Lily is a very private matter to him so it's often depicted as this big taboo the characters only whisper about a few times but how I would love to read stories where people shove in his face that she was a bad friend?
Because she was. She was a dumb teenager who called him obsessed with his bullies (who, let's be real, were kinda considered the cool kids in her house), didn't defend him nearly enough and also had to suppress a smile when he got SAed. Clearly as time passed they had been growing apart for a lot of reasons and didn't fit together anymore. Part of it is me just thinking she wasn't such a great person but we could also 'just' argue that they were just too different to remain friends.
And I long to see fics where someone actually step up for him (an OC or another character). Of course he'd react badly and take it as pity and get angry, but then, what if that person was like 'dude, why the hell are you mad, that's what friends do, they stick up for each other!" and then he'd get SO mad at this person and confused and would need to sort out his feelings (and it might take time) to realize he's actually mad at Lily for not having been there for him.
And that would be such a tough pill to swallow.
Because he put her on a pedestal and I think he knows - deep down - she wasn't perfect but he's also in denial about it because it's easier to remember only the good part because she is his emotional sanctuary. But I'd like to see him acknowledge his anger towards her - and how interesting it'd be considering he also feels so guilty about her death?
And what if this OC/character were to actually tell him "well she sounds like a shitty friend"? He'd choke on his own spit. He'd want to hex them. But it would also be true.
yes yes yes yes YESS
100% this like he’s gonna be mad at hell but he’s so stuck in his own idealized perception and needs a reality check so hard
You know how he had to apologise to her after calling her a mudblood?
Imagine she did accept it, but something feels wrong. He can't be normal with her, because there's a physical pain there.
It takes a long time, but he's either told, or he realises, that he's angry with Lily. That he feels hurt by her. That, while he did need to apologise for calling her a mudblood, he felt like she owed him one. But how is he even supposed to bring that up to her? Or the fact that she did jackshit trying to save him? There's a reason he can't fight off the Marauders, and it's because if he tries to mess with one, the others will fight him. Sirius might just kill him. He knows what it looks like when someone actually stands up for a friend. He knows what he would have done if they treated Lily that way.
So why didn't she react the same way? Why didn't she fight James? Why did she just stand there, yelling? She could have hexed James, couldn't she?
And why is it that she gets to be like this with him, all dismissive and rude and taking the Marauders, his abusers', side, but he can't say one wrong word because she'll get really angry?
There's something wrong here. Or at least, he thinks there's something wrong. Or maybe he's the something wrong?
He doesn't know. He just wants someone to talk to. Someone who isn't Lily.
THIS. ALL OF THIS.
His anger would be SO justified. And yeah how unfair because if he said to her 'you could have done more' she might just answer 'but I did Sev! What more did you want from me?!' and pull the insult card again to make him feel bad. What if he said 'I saw you smile, what does this mean?' (because it's part of the memory, HE KNEW) and she'd get SO defensive and it would be so hard for him to prove?? Because how could she admit to something so vile? How could she admit that she slowly started to chuckle alongside people making fun of him behind his back? How could she admit to him/to herself that she's kind of ashamed of him? That he's too 'uncool' and that she yearns for popularity? That she actually likes James Potter and will make excuses for him?
She couldn't. Wouldn't. Not being 15 and unable to put it into words, even less just accepting it.
But he has so many reasons to be mad. At the way she dismisses the bullying he's suffering from (come on, telling him he's obsessed with them is pure gaslight). The way she doesn't try to understand him and his social situation anymore. The way she judges his special interests. The way she slowly turned her back on him. So slowly. And after the SWM something clicks inside of him. So much shame at what he said but so much ANGER at her also. Because yes he fucked up but he said sorry and it STILL WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. But what else could he do? And aren't friends supposed to stick to each others?
She's no friend anymore.
But maybe it's him after all? Everybody says so.
He so needs someone else to talk to.
I’ll never stop being shocked by how some people excuse the fact that Severus was stripped, humiliated, and nearly murdered as a teenager by pointing to the fact that he later became an adult with a difficult personality. Like, do these people not understand the basic concept of cause and consequence? Do they not grasp how trauma shapes a person?
It’s astonishing how casually they erase the violence he endured in his formative years—systematic bullying, public humiliation, attempted murder—and somehow believe it’s justified or irrelevant just because he grew into a bitter, emotionally damaged adult. As if that personality came out of nowhere. As if social isolation, poverty, neglect, and abuse don’t leave a mark.
And what’s worse is that these same people will turn around and offer endless compassion to other characters whose traumas are more palatable to them. The fandom bends over backwards to defend their favourites, but when it comes to Severus, suddenly trauma doesn’t matter. Suddenly it’s all his fault.
This isn’t just about character interpretation, it reflects a broader issue in how society treats trauma survivors, especially those who are lower class, emotionally repressed, or don’t perform their pain in a way that’s comfortable to others. Severus was a working-class kid in a hostile environment, with no safety net, no support system, and no institutional protection. And to this day, people are still blaming him for how he turned out, rather than the structures and individuals that failed him and harmed him in the first place.
That’s not just bad reading comprehension. That’s a complete lack of class consciousness and emotional honesty.
marauders fans throwing a tantrum because their faves are going to be racist in the show is kinda funny like you were okay with them being classist, sexist, hardcore bullies who committed SA and attempted murder but now you draw the line? interesting interesting...
Snape’s plaque in the Hogwarts Memorial Garden be like
Just saw a post in which author joked that James didn't love Lily because she died from killing curse unlike Harry. And one of the comments said that things weren't that simple and the reason Harry was the first in the world to survive Avada Kedavra isn't because no one else tried to protect their loved ones or truly loved them but because Lily was given a choice by Voldemort and she chose to give her life to protect her son. And James wasn't given that choice. It still doesn't mean that that is the way it works because essentially even if not asked explicitly people still kinda have a choice in this situation: save themselves or their loved ones. But if we think that offering that choice verbally is what makes "love magic" work than it means that Harry survived because Snape asked Voldemort to spare Lily which led to Voldemort offering her that choice. If Snape hadn't done that, Harry would have died. What do you think about this theory?
This is exactly it, and I’ve said this multiple times before: if Lily needed to make a conscious sacrifice to activate the ancient magic that protected Harry—meaning she explicitly had to reject the chance to live in favor of sacrificing herself for her child—then Harry only survived because Severus begged Voldemort to let her live.
If Severus hadn’t begged Voldemort to spare her, Voldemort wouldn’t have given Lily the choice to live, and she wouldn’t have been able to activate the protection that saved Harry. Ergo, yes—if Severus hadn’t begged for her life, the kid wouldn’t have made it.
but he respected her decision to end their friendship, didn't even reach out to tell her that her boyfriend keeps hexing him on their 7th year, didn't know shit about her private life after the graduation, and asked Dumbledore for her and her family lives after he already begged Voldemort to spare her, both actions could easily get him killed. oh, and became a double agent to protect people Albus was bound to protect anyway. an "obsessed stalker", ladies and gentlemen.
 Are you serious!!!!! He… he… HE BROKE INTO SIRIUS’ HOUSE AND TORE UP HER PHOTOGRAPH, HE DOESN’T RESPECT HER, HE DISMISSED HER HUSBAND AND CHILD AND LEFT ONLY LILY’S PHOTO!!!!!!
He is a thief, murderer, stalker, rapist, pedophile, human trafficker, child kidnapper, cannibal, serial killer, exploiter, torturer, child murderer, necrophile, terrorist, mass murderer, gender-based abuser, corrupt official, cult leader, drug dealer, propagandist, fascist, Nazi, executioner, genocide organizer, saboteur, traitor, warlord, authoritarian tyrant, financial fraudster, power usurper, killer, organ trafficker, animal abuser, grave desecrator, hijacker, ritual murder organizer, blackmailing pimp, racist agitator, marital rapist, violence preacher, concentration camp creator, inquisitor, riot instigator, judicial case falsifier, cult of personality creator, genocide dictator, political assassin, mastermind of a criminal empire, terrorism financier, nuclear arms dealer, democracy conspirator, owner of underground prisons, mass manipulator, orchestrator of political executions, king of the black market, AND HIS ENTIRE PLAN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WAS TO STRIP HER OF HER FAMILY AND TAKE HER AS HIS CONCUBINE 😡
And on top of everything, he was poor. The most unforgivable sin of all.
"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.
