This post is ironically so funny.

DEAR HARRY

I’m sorry SNIVELLUS is the BRAVEST MAN you’ve ever met?? SNIVELLUS?? BECAUSE HE HID IN A SAFE BUILDING PROTECTED BY THE MOST POWERFUL WIZARD OF ALL TIME WHERE HE EMOTIONALLY ABUSED 12-YEAR-OLDS?? HES the bravest??

HE WAS NEVILLES GREATEST FEAR!! With Voldemort out there, and his parents tortured to near-death insanity by a madwoman who’s cousin just escaped wizard jail and is on the loose, coming for hogwarts, where he is staying at— his boggart was snape. His TEACHER

But NO snape is the bravest

Snape— who SEXUALLY HARRASSED your MOTHER

I mean, so did James. AND THATS AWFUL TOO. WERE NOT GOING TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN HOUSES

BUT JAMES REDEEMED HIMSELF. JAMES STOOD UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVED IN. JAMES TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT PERSON. SNIVELLUS TURNED OUT TO BE A GREASY HAG WHO ABUSES HIS STUDENTS

bUt hE wAs A sPy hE wAsNt aCtUaLLy WoRkInG fOR vOLdEmOr— DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?? THAT DOESNT MAKE UP FOR WHAT HE DID. OH, AND HE WAS A SPY?? DID HE DO ANYTHING HELPFUL?? And before you say he killed dumbledore, let me spell this out. 

Snape killed dumbledore to further prove his loyalty to voldy cause dumbles was gonna die anyway. But when did he do anything actually helpful? He didn’t give information to the rest of the order— at least not anything actually helpful or groundbreaking or WARWINNING— just dumbledore, who conveniently died, unable to share this information with anyone. How do I know this? No one in the order actually trusted him! Nobody!! Look me in the eyes and tell me you think anyone trusted him. Did you? No. No one did. And AND that one piece of info about flying to andromedas? All looking like you? Guess what that did. It lost the order one of your most valued members— alastor— and George’s ear. 

And then! After snape kills dumbledore, what does he do?? He takes charge of the school, tortures his students more, and turns school into a prison.

But NOOO we all LOVE HIM because he was actually on dumbles side!

Sorry to burst your bubble honey, but he would’ve joined Voldemort in a  h e a r t b e a t  if he hadnt killed lily

In a heartbeat

He probably would’ve killed you himself if you didn’t have lily’s eyes— not even cause of Voldemort— just cause petty revenge on James 

So before you say Severus snape is the hero you should name your son after, think about a certain other spy. Someone who is a true hero. Someone who was killed trying to save the world. Someone who wasn’t the abuser, but the abused. Someone who wasn’t the betrayer, but the betrayed. Someone who loved fully, even if he didn’t show it all the time. Someone who wasn’t working for dumbledore. He was on his own side. But he worked. He worked to stop Voldemort. And he wouldve succeeded, had he not died trying.

Think of Regulus Black.

The real villain within the Harry Potter franchise wasn't Voldemort. It was the system.

I will not elaborate at the moment as I am busy with my chores. So do what you will with this information.

[irdicai]

Snucius, Snegulus, Snack, Snumbledore, Snarcissa, Snarry, Snamoine, Snulciber, Snavery, Sneter, Snames, Snupin, Snaron, Snamort, Snaroy, Snagrid, Snanerva, Snamfrey, Snaville, Snaesley, Snacklebolt, Snarty, Snaevan, Snalkes, Snarity and especially Snily.

I hate all of them ships above for the sole reason that I can treat him better.

Cults prey on the young and vulnerable, and do you know who is young and vulnerable? Severus.

He came from an improvished background and had literally no support system except Lily, even though she wasn't a good support system. And Lily had other friends, which could've made Severus insecure about her not giving enough time for him. He then seeks other validations, which is completely normal for young people to do. It's human nature to be want to be loved and cared, especially Severus. He canonically had an abusive parents- father, as guaranteed as we know. It's really important for children to be loved for their psychological development, but we know he never got that. The side effects of an emotionally neglected and abused children develop self-worth issues and self-hatred.

And he was CANONICALLY(emphasis on the canon thing because I will not tolerate the Marauder fans' erasures of the following) bullied by the Marauders, and it was undermining his reputation. He was never mentioned to have any friends except Lily nor the Slytherin kids who were associated with the DEs. The "Light Side" never took his suffering seriously, nor was there anybody who stood up for him. The Marauders and Hogwarts and Lily aligned themselves with the "Light Side," and they were against the Dark Side, AKA DE, and there was no neutral ground to fall for Severus. He was always alone.

And here comes the cult, AKA Deatheaters come in picture. A young boy with an improvished background who barely has any friends who were constantly being discriminated against, there couldn't have been any easier prey. A few validations or two would've easily manipulated him, and they knew. Severus then hung out with the DE kids because he knew that he would never be among the Light Side, a side that constantly antagonizes and hate him, and there was nothing that would've stopped him from joining the Deatheaters, not even Lily. Do you think someone would listen to the words of another someone who was holding back laughter as they were being publicly humiliated for no reason? No.

This constantly goes on through the show until his death. He was groomed by Lucius into joining the Deatheaters, then by Voldemort into staying loyal, and then by Dumbledore by letting himself be the pawn for the scheme. What it all had in common was that Severus was always vulnerable and unstable. He always trusts and lets himself be used because that's his way of coping with his self-worth. He thinks being used means being validated. That's why he constantly let himself be the pawn and do the most dangerous job, being a spy a job that's so dangerous, but he still did it because he thinks anything is fine as long as he's needed.

Severus was always bitter and "never matured" because he wasn't supposed to. Because once he did, he won't be manipulated and used. He had to stay vulnerable and weak and immature because in everyone's eyes, his worth lied there.

The fact that Severus was basically groomed into a cult fucking ruined my evening.

The level of procrastination I have achieved is by having a fanfic, but I've literally done EVERYTHING but actually write it. I have fanarts, memes and the perfect song playlists and for what?

[irdicai]

I've asked my bsf about this scenario to see if it would be justified from Lily's , aka the best friend's point of view. I've asked her if it would be okay if I walked over her husband, aka my ex bully's corpse to caress her dead corpse and her immediate reaction was "Why the fuck would I marry your bully?" Lmao thanks ig😔

“james potter better than me 😤, because had that been me on the floor and snape 👺 stepped over me to hold MY dead wife 👻. i'd rise right then and there.”

lol ok this was the most pathetic thing i read today!

btw, i hate that snaters try to make this scene seem super weird. like, it's actually a very common scene in fiction. wow, a character finds a person he loves dead and his first reaction is to hug her and cry, oh my god, how weird 😱!

in fact, it was supposed to be a dramatic/sad scene, you know? but apparently you can't be dramatic/sad in a scene anymore because "it's problematic". it's over for you, snape!

"What James and Snape had was a rivalry!"

"Well, Snape bullied kids."

"He called Lily a mudblood and was friends with supremacist."

"He joined a nahtzee group!"

"He made weird spells."

Translation: I never believe the victim unless they fit my perfect standard of what a victim is!

"What you're saying is not canon, it's fanon!" Okay, so we're not The Marauders stans btw!

Snape never actually suffered abuse—that’s just fanon)) No one ever hit him, and his father wasn’t an alcoholic. But people keep going on about how “he had awful parents,” when the only evidence is a single argument we see once

It’s called basic literary interpretation and text comprehension for dummies. I mean, I don’t think Rowling, in a children’s book, needs to explicitly show his parents beating each other up for readers to understand the scene. If the author presents a very specific moment where, from the protagonist’s perspective, there’s a huge man yelling while his small child is hiding and trembling, does she really need to put up a neon sign to explain what’s happening? Does she need to explicitly state that Severus was in an abusive household? Have you ever read a book that doesn’t spell everything out for you, or are you just missing a few neural connections? Just asking. Because the day you start reading books for adults, which have even more subtle subtexts, you’re going to be left clueless for half the story.

Rowling put that scene there for a reason, and it’s to show that Severus came from an abusive home. We all interpreted the same thing when reading it, and if there’s a widespread consensus, it’s because she did it well and the message got through. If you can’t put two and two together, that’s not my problem—it’s an issue with your cognitive development. Rowling also included the scene where Snape is wearing his mother’s clothes for a reason: to make the reader understand that if the kid had to wear them, it’s because his family had no money. And Rowling specifically makes Snape tell Lily, “My father doesn’t like anything” so that we understand Tobias is a man who is always in a bad mood, angry, and has a really nasty personality. She doesn’t need to spell it out—she’s showing it. It’s called show, don’t tell.

And to top it all off, Rowling herself said in an interview (and I’m putting this last because we may or may not consider it canon, though it doesn’t really matter since the canon itself already provides plenty of evidence) that Tobias didn’t hesitate to hit Severus with a belt when he thought it was necessary.

So, not fanon at all. I don’t know if the problem some of you have is that you haven’t actually read the books or that you have the reading comprehension skills of a zygote, but what you just said is utter nonsense that the books themselves contradict.

THIS. It's all about him letting it go. It's about him that he has to sacrifice his comfort for the sake of the greater good. Letting go of his security and what he wanted, a place he belongs to for the unselfish needs of others.

Severus Snape's character arc is not about going from a blood supremacist to the muggleborns ally, it's about going from a selfish young man to a selfless adult

I've been saying this for AGES! Just because the victim is retaliating doesn't mean they're equals in standing. If you seriously think what Severus and The Marauders were going on was a "rivalry," then by your definition, "victims don't fight back," it's literally an act of invalidating one's abuse.

Pretending that Severus Snape, who grew up in a slum in a shitty neighborhood within a shitty city, with a shitty father and no money to even buy clothes, wouldn’t defend himself from the bullying he suffered is absurd. Severus was raised in an environment of poverty and violence, in a marginalized neighborhood—he was a kid who had probably had to defend himself before. Poor neighborhood kids don’t just take beatings; poor neighborhood kids fight back because that’s the only way to survive. And that doesn’t make them any less victims of a gang of rich kids abusing them thanks to their privileges. Just because a victim doesn’t fit your idea of learned helplessness doesn’t mean they are any less of a victim. You’re welcome.
