He Doesnt Like Anything, Much, Said Snape.Severus?A Little Smile Twisted Snapes Mouth When She Said His

“He doesn’t like anything, much,” said Snape. “Severus?” A little smile twisted Snape’s mouth when she said his name.

It baffles me how some people still see nine year old Snape as this creepy, obsessive stalker fixated on Lily. I mean, just look at that tiny smile he gives when Lily says his name! That’s not the smile of someone plotting or obsessing—it’s the pure, simple reaction of a lonely little boy.

Think about it. Severus Snape, a child who’s grown up without much love or attention, finally hears someone he cares about calling him by his first name in such a familiar, affectionate way. Of course, he lights up. That small smile says it all he’s thrilled, maybe even a little overwhelmed, to feel a genuine connection with someone who sees him as more than just a troubled boy. It’s not creepy; it’s heartbreaking.

In that moment, Snape wasn’t a stalker or a villain. He was just a kid craving kindness and friendship. So how could anyone look at that scene and not see the tragedy behind his smile?

Talking about Snape as a child who was clearly abused, neglected, and exposed to domestic violence… -But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about Snape's first meeting with Lily and his attempts to make friends as a lonely nine-year-old… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about how Snape was ridiculed and humiliated for his appearance and poverty, with his bullies even naked him in public… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about how a twenty-year-old Snape was willing to do anything to keep the Potter family safe, and after Lily’s death, he wished he had died… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about the Half-Blood Prince, Snape’s talent in potions, Dark Arts, and inventing spells… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about Snape’s traumatic flashbacks in the Shrieking Shack, where despite recalling horrific memories, he was still willing to go there to save the kids… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about the Unbreakable Vow and how Snape was ready to risk his life for Draco… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

Talking about his twenty years of loyalty, courage, efforts to save Harry Potter, and accepting his own death to protect others… - But he bullied children, didn’t he?

It's crazy that the anti Snape people always generally come and comment under the posts explaining that Snape is not a Nazi, fascist, supremacist and incel, all to say that he is Neville's worst fear, as if that was a magic card ? This is already an argument which is not one and which once again generally has nothing to do with the subjects discussed. Not only that but it is something that is false because this entire argument is based on deliberately misreading the passage in question.

Wait, who told them Snape fans would even want to attend such a party?

Trust me, we prefer more meaningful company... like complex characters and actual depth.

I saw one tiktok video from a Marauders fan with the caption that they wouldn't invite any Snape fans to their Marauders era party.

Girl, let's be honest, you look like the kind of person who would have bullied me in high school and then resented me for refusing to help with math, what party are we talking about 💀💀💀

Marauders fandom logic when it comes to the werewolf prank is this: even if Snape had been killed, you couldn’t blame Sirius because he didn’t force Snape to go to the Shrieking Shack. It was Snape who wanted to stalk the Marauders and find out their secret It was his own fault...

If we’re going to blame Snape for following the Marauders and say he "deserved" to be killed by the werewolf prank because he was too suspicious, then shouldn’t Harry Potter also "deserve" to be killed by Malfoy’s curses in bathroom?

Or maybe Harry deserved the bullying and the worst things because he used his invisibility cloak to stalk Malfoy at Slughorn's party, trying to spy on him and eavesdrop secretly.

After all, Harry is the one who followed Malfoy, got suspicious, and tried to uncover what he was doing, right?

How can we justify praising Harry’s curiosity and bravery while condemning Snape for doing the exact same thing? The double standard is disgusting.

Just a reminder: Snape was a year younger than Harry during the werewolf prank.

Your eyes, though, were beautiful, When I gazed into them, Years stretched between me and death.

Snape Artists Deserve Better

Since joining the Snape fandom, I’ve noticed something that really stands out. Compared to other character-based fan communities, the Snape fandom feels overlooked. There’s also a lot of negativity aimed at him, mostly stirred up by Marauders fans and "Snaters." This creates a tough environment, especially for artists and creators who focus on Snape. Unfortunately, their work doesn’t receive the recognition or support it deserves, which can be really discouraging.

I’ve seen so many amazing Snape artworks—pieces that have clearly taken tons of effort and time—get completely ignored. Meanwhile, similar artwork of the Marauders (including characters we barely know anything about like Marlene, Mary, and Dorcas… ) gets thousands of likes and shares in just a few days, quickly spreading across social media platforms. This isn’t just about Tumblr Art, either. The same thing happens with Snape videos on TikTok. They often don’t get the attention they deserve, no matter how well-made.

What’s worse is that even casual Harry Potter fans—those who aren’t part of the Snape or Marauders fandoms—are afraid to post anything about Severus Snape. They worry about the backlash they might face. If they decide to write about him, draw him, or make a video, they often feel like they need to constantly explain that they’re not "Snap supporter" or "Snape fan" and that they’re just creating art. Otherwise, they’ll get bombarded with nasty comments.

This whole situation has made artists hesitant to spend time on Snape-related content. They know it either won’t get the attention it deserves or they’ll face a wave of negativity that makes them regret ever posting it. It’s really sad to see so many talented artists being pushed away because of this toxic environment.

I totally feel for these artists, writers, and overall Snape content creators. Sharing your work takes a lot of courage, especially when you know it might be met with negativity. Art is meant for expression and creativity, so it's tough when those who put their heart into it feel like their work isn’t appreciated.

I don’t know how much longer this toxic atmosphere toward Snape, his fans, and the artists who create content about him will last, but it’s just not fair. Every artist deserves to share their work without fear and get the recognition and support they’ve earned.
