Snape wouldn’t recover from Harry dying. Like not just in a severitus scenario, i’m talking like this can be applied to their canon relations. He’d probably see it as his ultimate failure, even above that of calling Lily what he had, as loosing her son she gave her life to protect is a harm far more indescribable than their lost friendship. Not to mention watching Harry grow up, doing all he could to protect him, just to see him die in the end. All he had worked for was for nothing.
Harry’s existence is ultimately what held Snape together after Lilys passing, motivating him to keep living in order to keep him safe. if he outlives Harry in the war, that reason is simply not there.
ok goodnight guys ily sleep tight
