I think this fandom has taken notice that Severus Snape is scopophobic. As in, he is uncomfortable with being observed. He prefers to linger in shadow and be alone, he's highly antisocial and avoids the spotlight unless it benefits him or his mission. It's one thing to be antisocial and introverted, but his memories of being a teenager very strongly reveal a paranoid, nervous and anxious little guy who very much didn't want to be noticed.

The fandom seems to have collectively agreed that when he's given a lot of attention, it makes him uncomfortable. I think we all agree that if someone threw Severus a surprise birthday party, he would likely throw himself out the nearest window out of shock and horror, if not downright embarrassment. These traits are common in:

•victims of severe bullying

•victims of parental/familial abuse (both psychological and physical)

•neurodivergent (often Autistic) people

Yes...i still think our man is VERY much on the Autism spectrum.

I'm not saying he hasn't learned to mask really well and put up with being around people and children enough to overcome a lot of it throughout the day, but generally speaking he strikes me as someone who is more comfortable when he can disappear~

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 20: The First Task

He saw everything in front of him as though it was a very highly colored dream. There were hundreds and hundreds of faces staring down at him from stands that had been magicked there since he’d last stood on this spot. And there was the Horntail, at the other end of the enclosure, crouched low over her clutch of eggs, her wings half-furled, her evil, yellow eyes upon him, a monstrous, scaly, black lizard, thrashing her spiked tail, leaving yard-long gouge marks in the hard ground. The crowd was making a great deal of noise, but whether friendly or not, Harry didn’t know or care. It was time to do what he had to do . . . to focus his mind, entirely and absolutely, upon the thing that was his only chance. . . .

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 20: The First Task

He forced down some dinner after Divination, then returned to the empty classroom with Hermione, using the Invisibility Cloak to avoid the teachers. They kept practicing until past midnight. They would have stayed longer, but Peeves turned up and, pretending to think that Harry wanted things thrown at him, started chucking chairs across the room. Harry and Hermione left in a hurry before the noise attracted Filch, and went back to the Gryffindor common room, which was now mercifully empty.

At two o’clock in the morning, Harry stood near the fireplace, surrounded by heaps of objects: books, quills, several upturned chairs, an old set of Gobstones, and Neville’s toad, Trevor. Only in the last hour had Harry really got the hang of the Summoning Charm.

“That’s better, Harry, that’s loads better,” Hermione said, looking exhausted but very pleased.

“Well, now we know what to do next time I can’t manage a spell,” Harry said, throwing a rune dictionary back to Hermione, so he could try again, “threaten me with a dragon. Right . . .” He raised his wand once more. “Accio Dictionary!”

The heavy book soared out of Hermione’s hand, flew across the room, and Harry caught it.

“Harry, I really think you’ve got it!” said Hermione delightedly.

“Just as long as it works tomorrow,” Harry said. “The Firebolt’s going to be much farther away than the stuff in here, it’s going to be in the castle, and I’m going to be out there on the grounds. . . .”

“That doesn’t matter,” said Hermione firmly. “Just as long as you’re concentrating really, really hard on it, it’ll come. Harry, we’d better get some sleep . . . you’re going to need it.”

Harry had been focusing so hard on learning the Summoning Charm that evening that some of his blind panic had left him. It returned in full measure, however, on the following morning. The atmosphere in the school was one of great tension and excitement. Lessons were to stop at midday, giving all the students time to get down to the dragons’ enclosure — though of course, they didn’t yet know what they would find there.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 20: The First Task

Cedric straightened up, his arms full of inky quills, parchment, and books, his ripped bag dangling off one shoulder. He stared at Harry, and there was a puzzled, almost suspicious look in his eyes.

“Why are you telling me?” he asked.

Harry looked at him in disbelief. He was sure Cedric wouldn’t have asked that if he had seen the dragons himself. Harry wouldn’t have let his worst enemy face those monsters unprepared — well, perhaps Malfoy or Snape . . .

Chapter 2 of Old Time's Sake is up!! It's just as nasty as the first but it took me on a bit of an interesting journey!

I may make this a series after all. My other Snirius series starts in the Marauders era and is super noncompliant (no Voldemort, there's still general Dark Magic and blood purity issues in their society, but I didn't wanna deal with the death eater dynamics lol) so I think it'd be fun to have a series that tries to be a little more canon...Of course they're both gonna live if I write it but yeah everything else is totally the same!

And lol this fic opens with Snape trying to teach Arthur about computers and ends with Snape using a computer to figure out an annoying comment Sirius had made, so that's fun.
