Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001)  dir. Chris Columbus

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.

He stopped on the picture of his parents’ wedding day. There was his father waving up at him, beaming, the untidy black hair Harry had inherited standing up in all directions. There was his mother, alight with happiness, arm in arm with his dad.

36 years ago today Sirius Black was send to Azkaban for murders he didnt commit.

36 years ago Remus Lupin went to bed happy and satisfied cause he knew whatever happens, his friends will be there, he woke up to the news three of them were dead and one was the reason why.

36 years ago Petunia and Vernon Dursley went to bed and woke up to find Harry Potter on their doorstep.

36 years ago Minerva Mcgonagall waited the entire day at the steps of a house on Privet Drive just to confirm that Lily and James Potter, two of the most kind hearted people she knew, were really dead.

36 years ago the entire Wizarding world celebrated today.

36 years ago a hero was born.

“A thousand live bats fluttered from the walls and ceiling while a thousand more swooped over the tables in low black clouds, making the candles in the pumpkins stutter. The feast appeared suddenly on the golden plates, as it had at the start-of-term banquet.”

Today, James Potter fell like a marionette whose strings were cut trying to give his wife and baby few precious moments to escape.

Today, Lily Evans cried “Not Harry please, have mercy” to save her son and sacrificed herself to give him a minute more to breathe.

Today, Remus Lupin found himself all alone.

Today, Sirius Black closed the eyes of his brother and swore vengeance no matter how he got it.

Today, Peter Pettigrew hid into the closest hole he can find.

Today, Minerva McGonagall struggled to stay standing when she got the news.

Today, Petunia Evans lost a sister but didn’t shed a tear.

Today, Severus Snape regretted ever overhearing that prophecy.

Today, Albus Dumbledore let his mind choose rather than his heart.

Today, Harry Potter became The Boy Who Lived.

What's your opinion on Snape? Do you think he is overall a 'bad guy' or do you think his mistakes were redeemed by the whole 'Always' thing?

HA HA HAAAAA…“MISTAKES”… “REDEEMED”…LOL, THX 4 THE FRIDAY NIGHT GIGGLES.

Here’s the one good thing I will say about Snape: he’s a very complex and interesting character. Claps&hurrahs for JKR, because his layers are strong. But that being said–

Lol, Snape is scum.

In the wise words of Jake Peralta:

Snape didn’t make mistakes. He willfully and consciously made awful choices. 97% of them–including anything “good”–were selfishly motivated. He was a bitter, miserable, selfish, damaged man who loved with a kind of unhealthy, single-minded tunnel vision that makes complete sense with his history, but made for one seriously fucked-up relationship (“Always” my ass). He joined a bigoted cult because it made him feel powerful. He betrayed that cult–not because he realized what he was doing was wrong–but because he was personally affected. He bullied and belittled children because that got his rocks off, too. Being part of cycle of abuse does not excuse agency or actions. People who romanticize him are not reading the books–they’re projecting. I honestly and firmly believe that.

I CAN TALK FOREVER ABOUT HOW AWFUL SNAPE IS BUT I WILL STOP BECAUSE HE DOESN’T DESERVE THE ATTENTION.
