REMUS LUPIN WHEN I CATCH YOUUU 😠

„Snape was in a particularly vindictive mood these days, and no one was in any doubt why. The story of the Boggart assuming Snape's shape, and the way that Neville had dressed it in his grandmother's clothes, had travelled through the school like wildfire. Snape didn't seem to find it funny. His eyes flashed menacingly at the very mention of Professor Lupin's name, and he was bullying Neville worse than ever.”

Unpopular Opinion: (and it's sick that this is an UNPOPULAR Opinion)

I would rather have a mean teacher, than get SAd by my classmates.

[simpluminis]

This is why I can’t stand REMUS LUPIN: 💀

„Neville looked around rather wildly, as though begging someone to help him, then said, in barely more than a whisper, 'Professor Snape.'

Nearly everyone laughed. Even Neville grinned apologetically. Professor Lupin, however, looked thoughtful.

'Professor Snape hmmm Neville, I believe you live with your grandmother?'

'Er - yes,' said Neville nervously. 'But I don't want the Boggart to turn into her, either.'

'No, no, you misunderstand me,' said Professor Lupin, now smiling. 'I wonder, could you tell us what sort of clothes your grandmother usually wears?'

1. Seeing a man in "womans" clothes is not a reason to make fun of him 🤡

2. Letting all other kids hear what Nevilles fears are ( Snape and his grandmother ) and letting those kids make fun of him for that is also not cool

3. He thinks that making fun of Snape looking more like a woman is okay 🫪 It’s so misogynistic

AND IT’S JUST FROM THIS SHORT SCENE 🫩 There are MANY other things later in the books

I don’t understand why Hermione raises her hand when she's already shouting out the answers before the teacher asks her

"Remus and Luna were both bullied and called „Loony””

Remus being "bullied" lol:

Peeves didn't look up until Professor Lupin was two feet away, then he wiggled his curly-toed feet and broke into song.

'Loony, loopy Lupin,' Peeves sang. 'Loony, loopy Lupin, loony, loopy Lupin –'

Rude and unmanageable as he almost always was, Peeves usually showed some respect towards the teachers. Everyone looked quickly at Professor Lupin to see how he would take this, to their surprise, he was still smiling.

'I'd take that gum out of the keyhole, if I were you, Peeves,' he said pleasantly. 'Mr Filch won't be able to get in to his brooms.'

Filch was the Hogwarts caretaker, a bad-tempered, failed wizard who waged a constant war against the students and, indeed, Peeves. However, Peeves paid no attention to Professor Lupin's words, except to blow a loud wet raspberry.

Professor Lupin gave a small sigh and took out his wand.

'This is a useful little spell,' he told the class over his shoulder. 'Please watch closely.'

He raised the wand to shoulder height, said 'Waddiwasi! and pointed it at Peeves.

With the force of a bullet, the wad of chewing gum shot out of the keyhole and straight down Peeves's left nostril; he whirled right way up and zoomed away, cursing.

Severus Snape in a sort of The Godfather poster style

[muggleauformarauders]

If The Marauders had a podcast today, they would be extremely popular. They would talk about random stuff but they would make it so funny that it would be brilliant.

[simpluminis]

And if the Marauders had a YouTube channel, they would post videos of themselves bullying others and 'pranking' them lol

I can see the headlines:

✨ Dumping slime on Snape's greasy hair

Or

✨ We AI-edited Bertram Aubrey's photos and put them up all over the school

[swaggyseverus]

Ugly people have it so hard in this world.

When Severus can't get over Lily, its because hes a creepy incel that can't take no for an answer but when James harrasses her repeatedly in order for her to date him its because he's a true yearner with golden retriever energy

Now....

what’s your opinions on dumbledore and snape’s relationship

Well, I think I’ve talked about this before, but honestly, I see it as a relationship built on absolute grooming from Dumbledore’s side towards Severus. Like, I genuinely think he saw this completely desperate, terrified, emotionally shattered 21-year-old boy —and yes, I’m sorry, but at 30, a 21-year-old is a boy to me— showing up willing to do literally anything to fix the disaster he had caused, and Dumbledore immediately took advantage of that.

That moment where he asks him, “What would you give me in return?” and Severus basically says “Anything”? That is an insane power imbalance. And what does Dumbledore do with it? He pushes him into becoming a double spy and, on top of that, forces him to work as a teacher in the same place where he experienced some of the worst abuse and humiliation of his life. That is manipulation. Full stop.

Dumbledore is not just an adult in that situation, he is a man with over a century of life experience, an incredibly intelligent strategist, someone who understands perfectly how people work. And Dumbledore, fundamentally, sees people like chess pieces. He has an extremely militaristic mentality when it comes to “the greater good,” plans, sacrifices, and war strategy. So yes, I absolutely think he manipulates Severus into becoming his puppet. And the thing is, Severus is someone who desperately needs a parental figure. In the same way I think Voldemort exploited that need for validation and belonging, I think Dumbledore exploited it too. The difference is that Dumbledore did it better, more subtly, and for much longer.

I do think Dumbledore eventually develops some level of affection for Severus, but I don’t think he ever truly confronts how many of Severus’ worst decisions are indirectly tied to the failures of the adults around him, including himself. And honestly? Even if someone had pointed it out to his face, I don’t think he would have accepted responsibility for it.

What frustrates me most about Dumbledore is the way he consistently minimizes Severus’ trauma. Not his abilities —Dumbledore clearly knows Severus is brilliant and talented, just like Voldemort recognized that talent too— but his suffering. He constantly frames the abuse from James and Sirius as some childish “rivalry,” when it was very obviously bullying and abuse. And I genuinely think Dumbledore either refuses to fully acknowledge it because he doesn’t want to admit he failed to intervene, or because he has such a detached, paternalistic perspective on trauma that he simply does not take it seriously enough. And honestly, this is not just a Severus issue. Dumbledore is emotionally irresponsible with Harry too. He is irresponsible with Sirius. He treats people according to what role they can fulfill in the war effort. Again: chess pieces.

The tragic thing is that I think Severus spends years searching for redemption, but not just morally. He wants Dumbledore’s approval specifically. Dumbledore becomes this symbolic moral authority in his head, almost a God-like figure whose acceptance validates his worth as a person. And because Severus is so starved for affection and validation, he keeps clinging to that dynamic even when part of him clearly recognizes how unhealthy it is. That is why, even though Severus occasionally questions Dumbledore —especially regarding Harry— he never truly confronts him. Because emotionally, Severus is still that damaged child trying to prove to a father figure that he is worthy of love and acceptance. That is why I’ve always said Severus fits extremely well into the Christian imagery of the prodigal son: the child who strays, returns, is forgiven by the benevolent father figure, and then dedicates the rest of his life to service and penance.

So no, I do not think their relationship is based on mutual respect. From Severus’ side, it is desperation for validation, emotional anchoring, and the need to feel less alone. From Dumbledore’s side, it is the exploitation of a traumatized young man whose wounds never healed —wounds Dumbledore himself helped keep open —because those wounds made him useful for the war Dumbledore wanted to win.

People who try to bash Severus when he went to Dumbledore for help sound so hilarious to me i can't

"He didn't care if James or Harry died!" Yeah no shit Sherlock he doesn't gaf about the man who made his school life hell, and obviously Harry was non-negotiable because he was the entire reason why Voldemort was coming to kill the Potters in the first place. Ofcourse that only left out Lily, the only person he ever gave a shit about.

Let me occupy your mind

As you do mine

[simpluminis]

I have a strange taste in men. I like them when they suffer. When they pretend to be evil, cold, and work for the 'dark side,' even though their hearts are actually in the right place. I like them when they are ready to do anything to protect the ones they care about. I like them when they cry. Oh, Alexander Mahone and Severus Snape... the men that you are
