when you reread the bit in book 7 where snape gives his report and voldemort looks right at him and reads his mind
you realize how dangerous it is
and how skilled snape is
because not only does he keep voldemort from discovering his secrets, but he does it in an undetectable way where he thinks he is succeeding at reading snape's mind
Do you sometimes wake up and think, "Oh! Severus wanted the DADA position not because he loves it more than Potions but because he somehow knew it was cursed and he wanted to d!e"
“Then you will find yourself easy prey for the Dark Lord! Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked this easily – weak people, in other words – they stand no chance against his powers»
It struck me that Snape is talking about himself, feeling disdain for every open book, while he has to keep tight lid on every emotion.
Severus is expressive whenever his composure slips just a little, he had to convince them all completely, but it still breaks my heart how nobody would notice.
