If you are so committed to being perfectly lawful that you cannot see the value of breaking a law to defend yourself or others, you’re not good, you’re obedient.

Harry: Hey Ron! Why did Snape stand in the middle of the road?

Ron: Why Harry?

Harry: So you'll never know which side he's on!

Ron: Good one Harry!

Severus: I was waiting for that car to hit me!

anyway considering how deep cover he was, it’s nearly impossible to view snape’s actions among other people without at least some suspicion of it being a con (which is why he was such a good spy). which is why i find it really frustrating that people will beat the “he called lily a mudblood!” horse to death even tho it happens literally years before the start of the novel when snape is young and stupid and different, but turn around and outright ignore the “do not use that word!” scene.

bc it’s more meaningful for me that snape is completely alone in that scene. his only  witness is a portrait who snape must have some modicum of trust or control over (considering he’s using him to spy on harry). snape is the most unfiltered and real in this moment that he possibly can be, bc snape can only be unfiltered and real when he is alone and aside from this moment, we never see snape by himself. so yeah, snape choosing to reprimand nigellus for using mudblood when there’s no one around to hear or care, no one to hold him reprehensible if he doesn’t…. that means a lot more to me than him using mudblood when he was a teenager.

characters who crave affection but at the same time have no idea how to respond to actually receiving it due to the fact theyve rarely ever experienced it are my absolute favourite

mcgonagall: (handing baby harry to snape) can you hold this for a minute.

snape: (folding his arms inside his cloak) i don't have arms suddenly. i don't know.

‘The Dark Arts,’ said Snape, ‘are many, varied, ever-changing and eternal. Fighting them is like fighting a many-headed monster, which, each time a neck is severed, sprouts a head even fiercer and cleverer than before. You are fighting that which is unfixed, mutating, indestructible.’
