My take on tagging Snape

There is one thing that bothers me quite a bit about Snape in the fandom. Many people allege that, because as a child he dressed in a woman's tunic, because he had feminine calligraphy, etc., Snape was trans or homosexual. I completely disagree with this. Let me explain: I have gay friends and they write with "masculine" handwriting (men are not characterized by having excellent handwriting, you don't condemn this XD) or, at costume parties, I have friends who dress as women and that does not mean that they are trans or homosexual. Sexuality is not subject to social and sexual canons. I mean, you can look very manly, but you can really like men; or a woman who is homosexual and who looks very feminine. I think we should eliminate the stereotypes of what it means to be a woman or a man, those stereotypes that determined sex without any real basis. I still have the feeling that we live anchored in patriarchy and the socially acceptable. I am not homosexual, but I consider myself free to love whoever I want, man or woman. Everything counts based on feelings, ways of seeing life, the search for a life partner, not putting labels or determining who may or may not be homosexual. A homosexual person should not be labeled, they are human beings like me and you, only that with different sexual tastes and that is not wrong, homosexuality is not bad or something different, it is only one sexual orientation among many that exist in the world. It really matters very little to me if a person is homosexual or not, as long as, as a friend or lover, he knows how to give me good times and friendship. By all this I mean that the debate over whether Snape was gay, trans, or "sissy" doesn't make sense to me. Regardless of his sexual orientation, he is still Snape (a fictional character) and what he represents as a character, the way he behaves and one of the best characters Rowling created. And it bothers me a lot that there are people looking for details about whether he was a woman or not, when what matters about Snape is his story, his anti-hero role and one of the best characters in literature (in my opinion). Everyone is free to think what they want, I just wanted to expose my thoughts here. Labeling Snape based on our sexual orientation is something that shits us ourselves, since homosexuality should stop being a social label to become something seen normally. After all, we are all human beings, right? I understand the positions that have taken the character of Snape or others to defend his cause and claim his space in society, of course I understand, but Snape is Snape. I'm sorry if my thought offends someone, but I had to express myself on this issue. For me, labeling and socially dividing people seems demeaning, I am an open-minded person and I hate XD labels, for me they are all human beings and the sexual condition should not even be a matter of debate, because for me whatever it is your sexual condition, you are my equal, a person like me and, after all, sexuality is only a fragment of what a person means.

September (Snape´s hell)

Today is the 29th, about to start September. Can you imagine Severus Snape about to start classes at Hogarts? I do and I find that his situation would be:

He would be stressed, very stressed.

His mind wouldn't stop spinning about having to put up with a bunch of airheads with no talent for potions for long months.

He would get drunk to try and calm his troubled mind and not have to think about it with a hangover the next day.

He would have everything prepared, he would review his speeches at the beginning of the course, from the first year to the seventh year.

I would look at the lists of students who have managed to pass the OWLs or the NEWTs and see if there is someone that you would not like to see in your classes or that it was a miracle that they passed the exam.

He would have his desk perfectly tidy.

He would check ingredient inventory in the ingredient and potion store to make sure everything was in order and in alphabetical order.

He would review his written notes for each potion he passes to make sure he remembers all the potions that he himself fixed and varied.

He would be much more sullen with his colleagues, who would not be surprised by his behavior. They know that Severus Snape can't stand the students and September is coming up.

In love

What kind of woman do you think Severus Snape would fall in love with? My opinion is of a strong woman. What is your opinion?

Headcanon on Severus Snape II

 Snape always wore pants under his tunic. It was a custom he got from the lake incident.

He has read all the books in his living room at Spinned End.

He continues to research potions and dark arts when he has some free time.

He secretly likes the heat, that's why his body is almost all covered.

When he corrects an essay, in the first misspelling he already fails the student.

In his agenda or teacher's planner he has notes on spell trials.

He drools (like everyone else) when he sleeps.

He knows all of Shakespeare's plays and has read them all.

Snape's outfit

I have to admit something: I always imagine my own Severus Snape according to the book, but with his clothes on according to the movies. Snape has that Byronian air that makes me unable to imagine him wearing any other kind of clothing.

how the hell Snape managed to put up with 90 hours of work

Today I'm on one of those days where he asked me how the hell Snape managed to put up with 90 hours of work as a teacher, take care of Harry Potter, and be a spy. I work 12 hours today and I'm going to end up dead when night comes.

I will never understand James Potter's stance

Sorry, but I will never understand James Potter's stance and the adoration that certain fans have towards him. And I have several reasons to defend this:

He is a character that we hardly know in the entire Harry Potter saga.

What we know about him is through old friends (and we know that memory tends to cover the spaces that are forgotten with a certain imagination).

The only thing we know about him faithfully is through Snape's memories and his attitude is not morally good, he's a bully boy.

Coupled with this, I can never like anyone who is a stalker and who sees bulling as a form of fun. Added to this, that he never did it alone, but with his group of friends.

He is the typical rich white boy stereotype that denotes being a capricious person in part of his adolescence (I even think he joined the Order of the Phoenix on a whim).

I hope they don't rain too many stones on me.

Always. The meaning of a loyalty

The meaning of "always" said by Severus Snape never seemed to me to be a declaration of love towards Lily. What's more, he no longer even called her Lily Evans (his friend) but Lily Potter, accepting that this girl was another man's wife. For me, that "always" supposed a loyalty to the figure of someone who had been important to him. It wasn't necessarily out of love. Let me explain, according to studies carried out in question to the figure of love, "crazy" love lasts about three years, the rest of the time it is already a synonym of deep friendship and the search for a life partner. I believe that Severus Snape was no longer in love with Lily, maybe he was in his teens, but with the forced maturity of adulthood, that love ended up drifting towards a loyalty and longing for a person who had cared and treated him like a the same, as someone deserving of friendship. I don't even think Severus was looking for a life partner in Lily when he asked Voldemort to forgive her, I think he wanted her to stay alive, away from him, but alive. My assumption is that he accepted that she left her side after what happened at the lake, he did not look for her again and he accepted without hatred that she marry James Potter and that they have a child. That disinterest denotes that he was not obsessed, that he was not even in love. We have all fallen in love and sometimes out of love we act selfishly, a little obsessively, we want that person to be with us. But in Snape's case, that was not the case. He let her go without even having a grudge and the reason for her because he hates James is because of the situations of abuse or bulling that she suffered at Hogwarts. So, doing a study of that word and all that it represents, Snape's past and the context in which that word was said, I think that Snape was referring more to the loyalty of the figure that was Lily Potter, rather than an obsessive love or romantic love. I don't even think he thought of Lily as a person to have sex with or go to an expensive restaurant for dinner on a romantic date. In the end, I think that Lily was for Snape a simile to how the Greeks saw their goddesses as she was Diana, a reference by which to guide themselves and on which to have and maintain a faith. A figure located on an altar by which to link all the steps of her life and stay on the right path. I hope I have explained my point well. Tell me what you think of this idea

My Severus Snape headcanon

My Severus Snape headcanon:

He was a coffee addict. It's impossible to teach so many hours of class, be a Death Eater, Dumbledore's spy and protect Harry Potter and not be addicted to coffee.

I think he did wash his hair. I refuse to think that anyone can bear not washing their hair for a whole week, they shouldn't be comfortable like that.

He enjoyed long walks through the grounds and corridors of Hogwarts, probably to think, to clear himself of his problems and that he did it at night.

Linked to the above, I think Snape had insomnia. So many problems would make it difficult for him to sleep.

He had a trauma from the abuse and harassment and was not easily touched by anyone.

He secretly likes everything sweet even though he would never recognize it.

He enjoyed a good nonfiction read. Real life was quite harsh and cruel and he needed to fly with his imagination, enjoy adventures on paper and in imagination.

He cared for each and every one of his Slytherin students. He knew what it was to be alone, the need to seek help and support from other people and find himself alone in his problems.

Despite being an expert in Potions and good at DADA, he continued to investigate as soon as he had a little free time.

Here are some headcanons that I think of. I don't know if someone agrees or not, but I would love for them to live as I have said.

[maldiaaym]

I can't deny it, my thinking about romantic Snape is divided.

I can't deny it, my thinking about romantic Snape is divided. On the one hand, I know that canonically Snape had so much trauma that it was almost impossible for him to rebuild his life with one person. On the other hand, he made me so sad that he had a terrible and sad life that in my headcanon I wish that he fell in love with a girl who corresponded to him, had a family and lived to enjoy all that.

[maldiaaym]

Except from the scenes we know how did marauders bullied snape

What do think

Hi, thanks for asking.

Well, I think that from the first moment that James Potter tells Snape "because you exist" it is already a form of harassment and contempt for the life of another person.

In addition, we know from the canonical text that they intimidated him with comments about his physique and his way of being. Also, he already nicknamed him (Snivellus) without even knowing him, just because Snape didn't think like them and preferred Slytherin over Gryffindor.

We must not forget that not only physical abuse is bulling, but also insults, contempt for the lives of other people, even magic with a wand are part of the abuse.

That is what we canonically know. Now if we have to talk about what I really think about it, I honestly believe that Snape was abused physically, emotionally and mentally from Snape's first day of Hogwarts until he finished his days at school. But, to summarize, I will make a short list.

If they insulted Snape from day one, we have to assume that they continued to do so, even Sirius continues to insult him as Snape is an adult.

I think he was always cornered 4v1, when he was walking alone through the corridors of Hogwarts.

We know that they used Snape's own spells against Snape himself.

Physically speaking, maybe shoving, tripping, even some blow, they did it with magic so it is possible that we suppose they could have done it with a fist, but remember when James confronted Voldemot when he went to kill Harry, not even he remembered his wand, so physical contact would not be far-fetched when facing someone.

If we speak in emotional terms, possibly humiliating him in class, insulting him, with insidious comments about his physique or the way he acts in a certain way (remember that Sirius commented on the way Snape did his exam in the memory of the pensive).

I have to admit that mentally Snape was a strong person when he was a child. He basically came from a violent environment and would have greater mental strength than other people, especially under pressure and the ability to react. It is true that Snape had a bad concept of himself (is what I think) and that they could have made a dent in him. But overall, I think he was even mentally stronger than the marauders themselves.

In short, I know people who have suffered school abuse, Snape is a true reflection of abused people who reach adulthood and do not overcome the abuse of him. School abuse (added to family abuse in Snape's case) leaves a mark, a trauma, which shows that Snape suffered abuse and continued.

If the abuse had been causal or unusual, that trauma would have overcome it, but in the text it is clear that his immaturity, his treatment of other people, his few social skills and the way he teaches are reflected of continued abuse over time and that I could never possibly get over.

Why do I think Lily Evans (Potter) was not a good friend?

Until recently, the general opinion of the fandom was that Lily Potter was a good girl, deified and the representation of purity and goodness. But, doing a more exhaustive study of the character, we can get to see how Lily evans maybe was not so holy and made mistakes due to her education and, possibly, depending on the stage of her life where she found herself when she made those mistakes.

In relation to Severus Snape, I think she was not a good friend. Regardless of his age, which we all understand that we do not see friendship in childhood, adolescence or adulthood, she also had defects that compared to other characters in the saga, they were not a role model.

Starting from the little we know about her through the worst memory and Snape's memories, we are going to take some situations into account to assess her defects:

She blamed Snape for the letter Petunia sent to Dumbledore.

She got mad at Snape for dropping a branch on Petunia, even though he did so unconsciously and Petunia was rude to him.

The discussion with Snape about what happened with Remus (werewolf accident), his distrust of who was her friend and believing others before, not caring about Snape.

The lake scene, where she never addressed Snape once, as if he didn't know him and was just another boy to help.

The same lake scene, where she taunted Snape after he called her "Mudblood".

Now, let's talk about the problems at different levels (social, emotional, mental, physical and cultural):

Social: Snape comes from a lower social class than Lily and, although at first the girl Lily did not see the difference, I suppose that as time passed she realized that it did not look good for Snape to wear second hand clothes (surely ), he had serious problems in the family sphere, Snape's own unsociable nature that did not allow him to have a larger group of friends. In childhood we do not usually take into account the social variable when making friends with other children (pre-Hogwarts), but as she became related to the peer group at Hogwarts, she surely could not help feeling somewhat ashamed of the friendship with Snape . Let me explain, in Snape's adulthood it seems that no one knew about Lily and Snape's friendship, so it would be a secret friendship (and we all know that shame towards the other is what leads to secret friendships and relationships).

Emotional: Lily quickly connected with Snape because there was something she needed from him, and it was the knowledge and the desire to be accepted in a place like Hogwarts. Hogwarts was a new world that she did not know and Snape could offer her the security of knowing that world ... But, when she knew what she had to know, Snape had nothing more to offer her, but a clandestine and unrewarding friendship for her. It is not a mistake to think this, but it does show that she deliberately used Snape and that their friendship deteriorated over time. I think she might have felt friendship for Snape in a pure way, but when she began to be friends with the marauders, her emotional level turned towards these guys and she began to move away from Snape. I think the dark arts were an excuse to end the friendship, wanting to get away from him in an interested way ... it's easy to think that, when you really feel empathy for someone, you try to make the effort to understand that person, to know why him he likes the dark arts. However, she Lily was not able to understand him, understand his fears, his insecurities and the need to flee from the hell where he was stuck.Referring to the lake scene, I think Lily had a complete dissociation from Snape by now, she didn't defend being his friend, she didn't speak to him directly even once, and when he made a mistake due to the situation, she scoffed of him and "flirted" with James.

Mental: I think Lily never understood the true meaning of friendship, not at least as she later taught us Harry by understanding Ron and Hermione and accepting his flaws, even when this child was only 11 years old. I think that Lily, as soon as she could, got rid of Snape because she no longer wanted to have an uncomfortable friend, a friend who surely helped her for years in her studies at Hogwarts (I mean surely potions). Snape was like a teacher for Lily in her access to the magical world, he helped her in the study and knowledge of the magical world and I think that Lily stopped seeing usefulness when she already found in Gryffindor and the marauders the way to go her way . I mean, I think she coldly weighed whether or not she was interested in staying friends with Snape and she conveniently cut off the friendship when she got the chance. Lily showed herself to be a cold person who did not understand what Snape was in her whole and who did not appreciate all that he had done for her.I know that calling her "Mudbloods" was not right, but instead of trying to understand the shame and harassment that Snape felt at that time, she broke off the friendship and remained friends with the stalker, the one who emotionally blackmailed her and who continued to be a bully. No one can convince me otherwise.

Physical: here we will talk about the implications of a person who is not really physically attractive. There are studies that determine that people who do not fit the standards of beauty tend to have fewer opportunities in social relationships, love relationships or even find a job. With all this I mean that, when we are children, we do not care about anyone's physical appearance, but when we reach adolescence, our group of equals teach us the canons of beauty, which is considered handsome or what not. In this case, I think Lily was superficial. That is to say, Snape was not physically attractive, surely he did not look comfortable being with him because she was a popular, pretty girl, and he was attracted to a boy who was much more attractive than Snape (even though James was, in my opinion, uglier emotionally and disrespectful to others, adding being a bully). Lily preferred to go for the handsome boy rather than choose a loyal friend who was unattractive.

Cultural: At this level many factors enter, but here I will choose to talk about the differences of ideologies and different culture between Slytherin and Gryffindor. As we know, both houses were enemies, they were the contrast between good and evil in the Harry Potter saga. Slytherin represented everything bad and Gryffindor everything good. Here we also talk about the peer group (that is, a group of people that we consider our equals and from whom we learn cultural, social, emotional and behavioral factors), where Lily in the end ended up choosing to choose Gryffindor and be immersed in ideas prefabs that already existed about Slytherin even though, surely, many ideas were not true. Some of these ideas were hatred towards the "dirty bloods", defending the purity of blood, ambition as a negative element and cunning as if it were something bad that always leads to cheating.Where I see these preconceptions most clearly is in the scene where Lily argues with Snape for defending Mulciber, etc ... in this scene it seems that Lily puts the marauders before (she is supposed to talk about them) because they are from her house and believes that what Mulciber does is worse because he is in Slytherin. Being in Gryffindor, she is believed to have the moral superiority and the right to claim Snape to choose a position, when obviously Snape, like Lily, will choose their peer group. The point here is that Lily prefers to believe the marauders and put Snape in the guilty position, without even asking if his friend is okay or asking him what he saw ... Lily is not interested in knowing what happened because surely he was content with James's version and would always doubt any version Snape could give it.

Up to here, I did my study. It is a bit lazy, I wrote it on the fly and remembering some of the knowledge I acquired when I was studying Pedagogy. But, in essence, I hope you have understood. In the end, Lily opted for what she considered to be okay based on ideas and beliefs that she ended up having with her peer group. She put her friendship with the marauders first and decided to coldly and selfishly eliminate her friendship with Snape. In the end, we have all had friends from whom we have moved away because they no longer shared things with us (although I can presume that I never alienated anyone for thinking differently or liking things that I did not like), but also friends that we have from all our lives, with those of us who do not like things about them, but accept them and try to understand them, where the company of that person is valued more and we do not care what they tell us. It is true that the "peer group" exerts a lot of influence on us, despising those who consider strange people or have unusual habits for the majority of the population. But Snape and Lily met in childhood, this factor should not have been decisive for their estrangement and, I am afraid, that in the almost of Lily, he ended up accepting the conditions of his peer group to the detriment of maintaining a friendship that so much contributed. I don't hate Lily, I have no problem with her, for me she really is a flat character, too overrated and that only has a few three lines in the entire Harry Potter saga. It is impossible to empathize with her as we would with other characters and she hardly has any development of her. The most remarkable thing about her is that she gave her life for her son, otherwise she showed us a girl who had a strange friendship with Snape and who married the popular boy of her time.

What were your headcannons about Severus being sexually abused? I’m genuinely curious as a CSA victim myself. I’ve felt the same way.

ok, my headcanon on one or more sexual assaults on Severus Snape comes from the memory in the pensive. I consider James Potter levitating Severus Snape and asking if anyone wanted to see Snape's underpants to be sexual assault. And the worst thing is that I am afraid that maybe it was not just once due to the calm with which James Potter spoke those words. Many fans don't believe it was sexual assault, but for me it was. If we changed the gender of Severus Snape to girl, it would have been a sexual assault against him and I think that, nowadays, it is considered sexual assault whether it is the victim boy or girl. When we talk about sexual assault, we still have the usual boy-girl canon unconsciously in our mind and we do not understand that a boy can sexually assault another boy and, of course, that the aggressors are minors. I think that Severus Snape had a trauma due to this aggression / s, just look at the way he dressed, the discomfort in the touch towards others, the possible apathy for having intimate contact with other people and the exacerbated hatred he had towards James Potter, unable to forgive him. As for his life in his house with his parents in Spinned End, he couldn't be sure that Tobias could have sexually abused Snape. The canon does not say anything about it, although we can not assure that that could not have happened, even so, we know that Severus was psychologically abused at home, even physically. I hope I have satisfied your question
