Honestly, Can I Say Something About The Snape War On Tumblr? It Needs To Stop. Do A Serious, Genuine

Honestly, can I say something about the Snape War on tumblr? It needs to stop. Do a serious, genuine character analysis of Severus Snape. He’s a gray character, there’s no getting around that. Personally, I hate him and could go on for hours about why, but I’m not going to. I just want people who praise him as a hero to admit he has done horrible things without remorse and people who hate him to admit that he has done things that resulted in the saving of the wizarding world. Quit fighting over whether or not Snape was a hero. Admit that he was the grayest of gray characters. Yes, he bullied children and was obsessed with Lily(yeah, it wasn’t love. It was obsession), but he also spied for Dumbledore, despite it having potentially serious, even deadly, reprecusions(pardon me if I spelled that wrong, tumblr doesn’t do spell check and my google’s not loading.).

Snape was both an asshole and a good guy, a hero and a villain. You can love or hate him, but you need to stop and think: Is it worth it? Fighting everyone on tumblr over whether or not he’s ultimately good or bad will do no good. He’s neither, but also both.

A few reasons why Snape is horrible:

He relentlessly bullied children

He was Neville’s worst fear

He was obsessed with Lily years after she died(his patronus was exactly the same. If you think it wasn’t obsession, dm me and I will gladly hash it out with you)

He didn’t think to go to Dumbledore until Lily was in danger

A few reasons why Snape is good:

He spied for Dumbledore

Even after Dumbledore died, he did things to protect the students of Hogwarts(to an extent)

He genuinely cared about a few of the students(Draco included, and yes I think that.)

He never stopped trying to protect Harry

See? There are both good and bad things Snape did. Yes, he was an abuse victim. You could waste time pointing out that so were Harry, Sirius, and even Draco(certain emotional) were. You could also point out that abuse victims deal with their abuse differently. I’m not saying that Snape is good or bad. I’m saying he is both and also neither, if that makes any sense. So please, please quit with the Snape War and admit that he’s a well-written gray character.

I speak English and some French and I understood almost all of this. This is terrifying. Reblog.

I don’t even know. It’s from a book about languages my friend’s been reading. (it’s creepy that I can understand it …)
