I agree that he would like Dwight too

Snape being forced to watch The Office (American version)

He would hate it. The cringe would kill him and obviously he would rather invent stuff or look at a slimy thing or something

[intrusiveprism]

also imho it’s fascinating that Voldemort constantly calls Peter a “poor wizard” when Peter was able to successfully become an Animagus and managed to execute a really complicated resurrection spell. like. he grew a whole new body in a cauldron. Tommy I get that you can’t let anybody have the credit but that is very impressive.

Can Joanne explain why she only circled out Bellatrix & Sirius’s names on the Black Family Tree ?

Bellatrix x Sirius in a nutshell

Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I

Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet

Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile

It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

😏😏😏

"Or dear Bellatrix, who likes to play with her food before she eats it.”

"Sirius’s head turned. He had become very still, like a dog that has scented a rabbit."

No other additions, your honour.

Nirvana’s classic “Heart-Shaped Box” is perfect for Sirius & Walburga’s twisted, necrotic mother-son relationship

and I’m gonna rant about it with various links to historical, astrological, mythical & symbolic references.

First, the release year of the song: 1994 —

Sirius Black’s breakout from Azkaban: 1993.

So it makes complete sense to imagine him, during his fugitive period, occasionally hearing this Muggle rock song and feeling a sharp, gutting resonance.

Secondly, the song’s theme:

Kurt Cobain’s suffocating, toxic, and yet inescapable feelings of love toward (and from) his wife Courtney Love.

The feeling of being trapped as a plaything, a servant under her skirts.

This fits hauntingly well with Sirius’ dynamic with his mother:

• His depressive period spent locked inside his mother’s bedroom at 12 Grimmauld Place (Order of the Phoenix canon);

• Walburga’s furious, hateful screaming portrait still haunting the house — and yet, she never formally removed Sirius from the legal rights of inheritance even after he ran away, nor had she ever changed his childhood bedroom.

A relationship of pure resentment, yet irrevocable emotional and symbolic entrapment.

Now, let’s look line by line at the lyrics —

and how the symbolic imagery of Heart-Shaped Box aligns eerily with the Black family’s tragedy:

“She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak”

• Walburga’s namesake, St. Walburga (a historical saint), died on February 25 — right within the Pisces season.

• Pisces, often symbolizing fluid emotions, sacrifice, and maternal martyrdom — perfect for Walburga’s ghostly, venomous mother figure.

“I’ve been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks”

• Sirius, in canon, “spent more and more time shut away in his mother’s bedroom, with only Buckbeak for company.”

• Sirius says: “My mother didn’t have a heart… she lived off hatred.”

Yet he literally locks himself inside her “heart-shaped box” of hatred —

simultaneously denying her heart’s existence while physically fusing himself to it.

Resentment and inescapable attachment, bleeding together.

————

“I’ve been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap”

• Same idea: the Black bloodline as an inescapable, magnetic tar pit.

• Even at the end — Sirius is fatally drawn into Bellatrix’s orbit during their final duel, pulled by the same dark gravity that defines the Black family legacy.

⸻

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

• “Black” — obvious double entendre: the Black family, the color, death.

• “Cancer” = cancerous growth and astrological Cancer.

• Sirius, as the Dog Star (Sirius) in the zodiac, aligns exactly with the 14th degree of Cancer.

Eating the rot before it devours him —

but ultimately being consumed by it himself.

⸻

Hey, wait, I got a new complaint, Forever in debt to your priceless advice.

• A line practically screaming Sirius’ permanent entanglement with his mother’s legacy:

• both rejecting her influence and living eternally shadowed by it.

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet

• Orchid = symbolic vagina reference (motherhood, sexuality);

• A meat-eating orchid = maternal devouring, aggressive, predatory nurturing —

perfect metaphor for Walburga’s ghost viciously howling at every Phoenix member entering Grimmauld Place.

⸻

Cut myself on angel hair and baby’s breath

• Angel hair: paranormal phenomenon — fine crystalline threads associated with the supernatural, often reported during Marian apparitions or UFO sightings.

Notably, it appeared in Évora, Portugal on November 2, 1959 — one day before Sirius’ canonical birthday.

• Baby’s breath = “Gypsophila” in English — “baby” imagery reinforcing the “mother-son” motif.

⸻

Broken hymen of Your Highness, I’m left black

• “Black” — once again a double hit: color and family name.

• Hymen rupture = symbolic of corrupted birth, betrayal of maternal sanctity.

• Sirius, left Black after being spiritually and emotionally torn by his heritage.

⸻

Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

• The final blow:

Returning to the mother.

Begging to climb back into the toxic womb.

Rebirth not as freedom — but as death.

A grotesque, heartbreaking yearning for annihilation through reconnection.

⸻

Heart-Shaped Box is perfect for—

Sirius Black and Walburga Black’s necrotic, cannibalistic mother-son death dance put to grunge music.

Sirius never truly escaped his mother’s “heart-shaped box.”

He simply carried it into death with him.

Sirius & Bellatrix both “died” as a result of being caught up with each other in the moment

For Sirius it’s literal, and for Bellatrix it’s more metaphorical.

Many people believe that Sirius and Bellatrix both died due to "underestimating their opponents.” While this is true, the nature of their “arrogance” are slightly different: Bellatrix died because she simply didn’t take Molly’s fighting skills into account, not paying enough attention to her, while Sirius died because his eyes were fixed solely on Bellatrix, paying too much attention to her.

When facing Molly, Bellatrix's words were, "What will happen to your children when I've killed you?" — now this was the attitude of toying with prey before delivering the killing blow. She was certain she could kill Molly; she looked down on her, never seeing her as an equal opponent.

In contrast, during Sirius and Bellatrix's duel, there is a line that says,"Only one couple were still fighting, apparently unaware of the new arrival." Sirius was completely absorbed in his entanglement of the reunion with his cousin. They were so deeply drawn to each other that they failed to notice the chaos around them — Dumbledore's arrival, the Death Eaters fleeing in all directions, and so on. From this, we can deduce two things:

1. Their dueling skills were evenly matched.

2. Neither of them was willing to let the other go.

Moreover, the fact that they were dueling face-to-face on a dais in the center of the room further symbolizes their "equal contest" dynamic.

At this point, I don't think Sirius would underestimate Bellatrix's abilities from a rational basis. On the contrary, I believe he was fully aware of her power. In fact, it’s possible that, for him, she was the only opponent worthy of respect.

And yet, despite this, Sirius still made a fatal mistake. All his senses — his eyes, his ears, his entire awareness — were completely focused on Bellatrix, to the point where he forgot everything else around him, even the deathly veil sitting right behind him.

He was no longer fighting as a Phoenix Order member trying to take down a Death Eater. He lost the basic senses and judgment that a well - experienced duelist should have. Perhaps he didn’t even want to defeat her, nor kill her (because that would be a “shame”, he’s truly enjoying tangling with her) let alone complete his job in a clean move. He was driving his entire being to clash with Bellatrix’s ferocity, but in the process, he unknowingly became captivated by her ferocity and every one of her movements.

Because Bellatrix was not simply an opponent: she was “Bella” — she was both his past and the very core of his present existence.

The line "Come on, you can do better than that" also supports this interpretation. He was purely enjoying the duel with her, taunting her, hinting at his familiarity with her, while indirectly acknowledging her strength.

Perhaps he wanted to see her as the ferocious, warlike "Bellona," the violent goddess of evil. Perhaps he was trying to awaken her consciousness, wanting her to realize that she as someone so powerful could make a better choice than "serving Voldemort." Or perhaps he was provoking her for taking so long to kill him...

We cannot truly know the dynamics or nature of their duel, but what is certain is that Sirius died in the ecstasy and irresistibility of battling his cousin. Bellatrix, on the other hand, failed to fulfill her duty of retrieving the Prophecy because she, too, was unable to pull herself out of their entanglement, forgetting the prophecy in the process.

In the end, she died in exactly the same manner as Sirius. In a way, she was also unable to extricate herself from their fated entanglement.

He died in that moment of being consumed by her presence, and she, too, had already died in that moment. This was a karmic cycle that belonged solely to the two of them, a pair of blood-related beings whose cores were deeply intertwined.

Fighting with Bellatrix was like injecting heroin into the blood vessel, and Sirius died in euphoria ✅✅✅

[intrusiveprism]

Merope is disgusting. She liked Tom Riddle Sr. because he was handsome, but he was arrogant. He had the right not to communicate with Merope. He did not want children from her and to marry her. Voldemort had no chance to be born normal. On the one side arrogant Riddle, on the other, aggressive Gaunts

Merope was a sexual abuser and Tom Jr. was a deadbeat father. And Rowling’s idea of making the main villain evil because his parents were awful and he was conceived in a super messed-up way is one of the most toxic and problematic things out there. It’s basically telling children that they only have worth if they were conceived with love in functional homes, and that idea is absolutely terrible. Not all kids born out of horrible circumstances become horrible people. Rowling is honestly the absolute worst when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Eileen Prince

I'm relentlessly curious about how a witch from Slytherin, a house that values cunning and ambition on paper, and bloodlines/nobility in its culture, ended up living in a muggle slum.

Unfortunately for me, she's a barely mentioned character written by an author who consistently fails to portray female characters with depth or dimension. The women in Harry Potter are portrayed as either maternal or villains, or, in Ginny Weasley's case, as redeemed by their masculine traits (because Rowling's Thatcher era feminism dictates that equality for women = emulating patriarchal ideas of manhood). About as much as you can expect from an author who's as unable to acknowledge the personhood of trans women as she is to write women as actual people. This leaves a lot of room for interpreting or delving into what Eileen Prince's life may have looked like, and how that would have affected her son's development.

There are three direct mentions of Eileen in the text :

“The picture showed a skinny girl of around fifteen. She was not pretty; she looked simultaneously cross and sullen, with heavy brows and a long, pallid face. Underneath the photograph was the caption: Eileen Prince, Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.”

HBP Ch. 25

“I was going through the rest of the old Prophets and there was a tiny announcement about Eileen Prince marrying a man called Tobias Snape, and then later an announcement saying that she’d given birth to a" “ — murderer,” spat Harry.

HBP ch. 30

“Harry looked around: he was on platform nine and three-quarters, and Snape stood beside him, slightly hunched, next to a thin, sallow-faced, sour-looking woman who greatly resembled him.”

DH Ch. 33

(Shoutout to Harry James Potter, who didn't recognize Eileen's fifth year photo despite her resemblance to Snape, the teacher whose classroom he got his used Potions book from. Shoutout also to Harry James Potter who didn't connect the dots between the Prince's handwriting and Snape's, a teacher who regularly wrote instructions on the board. "I needed to make the plot work, ok?" - JK Rowling, probably.)

Other relevant excerpts:

“Snape staggered - his wand flew upwards, away from Harry - and suddenly Harry’s mind was teeming with memories that were not his: a hook-nosed man was shouting at a cowering woman, while a small dark-haired boy cried in a corner ”

OoTP Ch. 26

“Harry delved into his trunk and pulled out his copy of Advanced Potion-Making before getting into bed. There he turned its pages, searching, until he finally found, at the front of the book, the date that it had been published. It was nearly fifty years old.”

HBP Ch. 16

Supplemental material re: Gobstones from JK Rowling:

"...it remains a minority sport within the wizarding world, and does not enjoy a very ‘cool’ reputation, something its devotees tend to resent. Gobstones is most popular among very young wizards and witches, but they generally ‘grow out’ of the game, becoming more interested in Quidditch as they grow older.  ... Gobstones enjoys limited popularity at Hogwarts, ranking low among recreational activities, way behind Quidditch and even Wizarding Chess." [There's an additional sentence on the Harry Potter wiki's Gobstones page: "...it is also known as 'the thinking wizard's Quidditch.'"]

A few conclusions can be drawn from what little information we're given about Eileen:

She's described as "cross and sullen" around the age of 15, and as "sallow-faced, sour-looking" when she's older.

She's captain of the Gobstones club around her fifth year, so she likely marched to the beat of her own drum - given that Gobstones isn't particularly popular - and owns it proudly enough to take, or even seek out, a leadership role.

The sport is described as "the thinking wizard's Quidditch" which would imply Eileen was more interested in intellectual challenges and was clever (and can be paralleled with a young Severus' comment about "if you'd rather be brawny than brainy" to James Potter when they first meet on the Hogwarts Express).

Her marriage and the birth of her son are both announced in the paper, which might mean the family she came from was of some importance or note, or perhaps something else... but we'll get to that.

If we assume that Severus' secondhand copy of Advanced Potion Making was originally Eileen's (reasonable, though there is no textual evidence) then its publication date is likely around the time she was a sixth year, given that this particular text was specific to students beginning to prep for N.E.W.T. exams. Harry begins his sixth year in 1996 when the book is "nearly fifty years old," so we can assume Eileen was 16 years old sometime not long after 1946. Severus was born in 1960, which would mean Eileen was in her mid-late 20s at the time.

Her marriage was dysfunctional at best, abusive at worst. As per a Pottermore post that is still up on WizardingWorld.com: "...the desperately lonely and unhappy childhood [Severus] had with a harsh father who didn’t hold back when it came to the whip." Based on this, we can assume Tobias was abusive, and given Eileen's cowering as he shouted at her, she presumably feared him.

From these bits of information emerges the image of a woman who either had a surly personality, or at the very least was guarded, though perhaps just formal. There isn't really any difference in how her face is set when she's in an everyday setting like King's Cross, or when she's having her picture taken for the Gobstones Club. It's possible she was a stern, unsmiling person, but it's also possible - given that her wedding and child were announced in the paper - that she came from a family of some standing and was raised to conduct herself with hallmarks of British class, such as dignity and unaffectedness. After all, there are several wizarding families - such as the Potters - who are wealthy purebloods with social standing but are not part of the Sacred 28. Additionally, the Gobstones Club portrait would have been taken around the mid-1940s, when portraits were formal and their subjects did not often smile, and given that we see only a snippet of Eileen, we don't have enough information that she was unhappy or sour. It's also important to remember that we see her portrait and Snape's memory of her through Harry's perspective and, like his perception of Snape himself, this may convey Harry's biases.

We also know from the text that Snape had a house in a deserted part of Cokeworth, a fictional Midlands town that presumably had a collapsed milling industry, at the end of a street called Spinner's End. There's a great thread that goes into details about the kind of 2 up 2 down house it would have been, and we can assume that this is Snape's family home given that we know he and Lily grew up in Cokeworth. For all intents and purposes, the conclusion we can draw from this being the Snape family's home in the 60s is that they were working class and cripplingly poor. Most estates like this had been cleared by the 60s, and no longer exist today.

This begs the question: how did a witch from a possibly well-off family end up in an abusive marriage in an irrelevant slum?

Buckle up kids, we're leaving the world of textual references and veering into deep meta territory now. I won't label any of this as head canon because I'm not set on these interpretations, and am just drawing conclusions from the text, but some of it may be a bit loose even for meta.

If Eileen was 16 years old not long after 1946, then she would have finished school in the late 40s, possibly even 1950. While some people (including past me) posit the theory that Tobias may have been injured in WWII and his injuries debilitated him, forcing him to go on the dole and affecting his mental health, I'm increasingly skeptical of this theory. It would make more sense if Eileen had known him before he was drafted/enlisted and had committed to a relationship with him, which would then have changed when he came back from the war and was altered. If we assume Eileen's age based on the idea that it was her own copy of Advanced Potion Making Severus used, then she would still have been at school during WWII (which makes an interesting parallel with Severus' own experience of spending the bulk of the first wizarding war against Voldemort as a student at school).

I do think, however, that there's merit in the theory that Tobias suffered some kind of altering injury and that he wasn't necessarily abusive before Eileen committed herself to him. It makes little sense for a Slytherin graduate who was confident and self-posessed enough to be the face of an unpopular club to be drawn to a partner so abusive his shouts caused her to cower and who whipped his child freely. If, however, he was a charming, happy man when they met who suffered a life-altering injury, the trauma of which left him a shell of his former self, then someone like Eileen might stick around for the sake of the parts of his old self she can still see in him.

It's interesting that she didn't seem to use her magic to protect herself or her son, or even to dress her son in clothing that fit, but we know from the text that depression can cause a wizard's powers to wane:

“...it is also possible that her unrequited love and the attendant despair sapped her of her powers; that can happen”

HBP Ch. 13 (Dumbledore talking about Merope Gaunt)

The fact that the Snapes retained the house in Spinner's End seems to indicate that they continued to live there even when the local industry dried up and the slum was cleared as workers were moved to other parts of the country where they were needed (presumably what happened given *gestures at British history*). The most likely explanation for this would be that Tobias wasn't able to work, and perhaps did suffer an injury, only it was at work, and not during the war. This would mean the family lived on the dole (ie. welfare) and also that he would have spent a lot more time at home. It would also explain his anger and frustration that led to abusive behavior (which isn't to say that disabled people are abusive by any means, but it would have been emasculating for a man who considered himself the breadwinner in the 60s, and chronic pain coupled with limited abilities would give anyone a short fuse).

Moreover, this living situation seems to indicate that there is no additional support coming from anywhere. Where is Eileen's family? Why were they not helping? There's no indication in the text that there is any connection with them at all. We can infer from Snape's memories that, as a child, he learned what he knew about the magical world from his mother. This implies that she talked to him about it a fair amount, and his conviction that he and Lily were going to Hogwarts well before they got their letters also implies that Eileen expected him to go there and was set on her son having a magical education, despite how little she seemed to use her own powers.

Severus knows a lot about the wizarding world as a child, including that prisoners are sent to Azkaban and that it's guarded by Dementors, Hogwarts' house structure and what to expect when he and Lily get there, and about the Statute of Secrecy and the laws around it. When Lily asks him if it makes a difference being Muggleborn, Severus hesitates before replying no, presumably because he's aware of pureblood bias being a part of wizarding culture.

Perhaps that's the reason Eileen's family doesn't seem to be in the picture. My own theory is that Eileen hadn't planned to commit herself to Tobias long-term, and Severus was an accidental outcome of an innocent tryst in which a young Eileen, an educated witch from a well to do pureblood family, was having fun slumming it with a working class muggle and ended up pregnant. While we don't know the wizarding world's attitude around pregnancy and abortion, we do know it's a conservative and classist society that parallels muggle British culture fairly closely, and that the late 50s/early 60s were a time when an out of wedlock baby would have been considered a disgrace.

Add to that the anti-muggle bias of a pureblood family and it sounds like Eileen was disowned her for her mistake (and don't @ me, but even though I know that not all Slytherins are purebloods, it does seem to be a persistent cultural value of the house reaching back to Salazar Slytherin himself, so Eileen's being sorted into it can reasonably be taken as an indication of her blood status). Perhaps the marriage and birth announcements in the Daily Prophet were put in by Eileen herself, if she was a woman from a family where this was customary. It may have been her way of letting her family know of the events, or even of asserting herself and even deliberately defying them, announcing to the whole wizarding world that a Prince married and had a child with a muggle. It makes sense that the girl who wasn't just in the Gobstones club, but became captain, would also say to herself, why shouldn't I have my marriage announced in the paper like everyone else in the family?

It's worth noting that mid-late 20s is pretty young to have a baby in the wizarding world, where the life expectancy and child bearing years are much longer than they are for a muggle. According to the Harry Potter wiki:

"Wizard life expectancy in Britain reached an average 137¾ years in the mid-1990s, according to the Ministry of Divine Health ... Wizards in general have a much longer life expectancy than Muggles, usually living two or three times as long as their non magical counterparts, some living even longer than that depending on circumstances. In addition, seeing as James Potter's parents had him "late in life,” witches likely have significantly longer childbearing years than Muggle women."

Although we see several characters in Severus' generation getting married and having kids not long after leaving school, there's a mention in the text that a lot of people were doing this during Voldemort's reign, as the fear he inspired made people more eager to get a move on with life since they thought they might die any day (I think Mrs. Weasley says this but I can't find the quote, @ me if you do). It's clear this wasn't the norm in the wizarding world. Eileen was a Slytherin, a house that values cunning, ambition, and strong wizarding heritage. Something must have gone very wrong in Eileen's life for her to end up having a child so young and living in a muggle slum.

And so it's possible Eileen Prince found herself pregnant and alone, having been disowned by her family to save face in light of her disgrace, and dependent on the only person she was still close to, the father of her child. It's the kind of storyline that Rowling would write, and it would parallel fairly closely the story of Voldemort's mother, thus adding another to the long list of similarities between Voldemort and Snape.

Lorrie Kim makes an interesting point when she talks about how Snape has a strong reaction to other people having a love life or romantic experiences (the context being Rowling's intention of his love for Lily being romantic and unrequited), but doesn't react particularly strongly to mothers sacrificing themselves for their children, whereas Voldemort does. Her insight, and I think it's a reasonable one, is that Severus accepts the idea of mothers making sacrifices for their children, whether it's Lily giving her life for Harry or Narcissa risking all she did to ask for his help in protecting Draco, because his own mother protected him from his father as much as she could.

There's a lot of room for interpretation on what Eileen's relationship with her son looked like, and what it says about her own state. She may have prioritized not angering Tobias to protect Severus, who as a child might have perceived her actions as a form of rejection. At the same time, she seems to have prepared him thoroughly for life in the magical world, perhaps in the hope that he would find his place in it and escape home. Perhaps she missed it and told him so much about it so she could live through her own memories.

The only time we see her argue with Tobias, in Severus' memory, she's cowering as he shouts. We know from JK Rowling that Tobias used corporal punishment liberally, which implies Eileen didn't stop him despite her magical abilities. We also see in the text, however, that while at school Severus stood up for himself against bullies and fought back, and that he was an exceptionally clever and powerful wizard. As an adult he was brave enough to face Dumbledore when he betrayed Voldemort, and later fought against Voldemort right under his nose (or lack thereof). So it stands to reason that at some point Severus began to stand up against Tobias too.

How much of that was Eileen's influence, or the result of Severus seeing her acceptance of her fate and rejecting it for himself, is hard to say. As for what happened to Tobias and Eileen that their house was Severus' by the mid-90s and they were nowhere in sight, I don't think there's enough information in the text to infer.

The Church Grim [British folklore; Danish/Swedish folklore]

Throughout Britain, there are many stories of monstrous black dogs that attacked travelers on desolate roads, or whose appearance heralded some kind of bad event. These creatures sometimes had burning eyes or other supernatural traits. Perhaps these stories originated from real events where wild dogs attacked or killed people, and were exaggerated until they became myths.

However, Britain also has stories about benevolent dog spirits, most notably the Church Grim. According to William Henderson (19th century), it used to be a custom to bury a living dog underneath the foundations of a new church during construction. While cruel, the idea was that the spirit of the dog would return as a Church Grim, a supernatural being that guarded and protected the church and the graveyard. Specifically, they attacked evil witches and warlocks who would seek to profane the holy grounds or ingredients for wicked spells.

It was said that the Church Grim would manifest itself as a black dog which lived on the church grounds. This ghost also sounded the church bell right before someone in the region died, heralding the death in advance. The grim isn’t always a dog; sometimes a boar was used. In kroskjoberg, a sow (a female pig) was buried and its spirit haunted the streets of the village afterwards.

Sweden and Denmark have a similar story, called the Kyrkogrim and Kirkegrim respectively. In the Swedish version, it’s said that the first Christian churches in Sweden had a lamb buried under the altar of the building. The spirit of this lamb would sometimes appear to people, and when it showed itself in the graveyard this was a sign that a child was about to die. There is at least one story of a human ‘grim’: a bridge in Halle (Sweden) was said to have a kid buried alive in its foundation in 1843. I do not know whether this really happened, but I believe it’s fiction.
