I don't get why people think Severus is a homophobe, I mean, he clearly gives bi✊🏻

Snaters need better arguments istg

When people say that Snape was obsessed with Lily, I'm like, yes, that's true !

After all, he always tried to date her, never taking no for an answer, and even told her that he would stop harassing his best friend if she finally agreed to go out with him !

Oh. No. Wait. That was James.

And what did Severus do to him ? Accept when Lily ended their years-long friendship ?

But was he the one who was obsessed with her ? WTF ?!

For what ?!

Because he continued to love her even after that (which makes sense since she seemed to be the only real positive thing in his shitty life), and he was impacted for life by her death (like Remus and Sirius were for James), which ultimately inspired him to take a path that would be considered redemptive ?

This is all like, you know, pretty normal emotional behavior for a human being when it comes to the first 2 points ?!

Why do people try to pass off these simple things as unhealthy ?! This is simply ridiculous !

Oh, and you have to explain to me why for some people it's a big deal that it was his love for Lily that inspired him to go on the path of redemption / change ?

Also the fact that Severus has the same patronus as Lily proves that it was a true love and not an obsession.

It is literally canon that when the form of a Patronus changes to that of another animal, it is something usually due to a bereavement or emotional shock that profoundly changes a wizard's character. But it is also in the case of a particularly strong love that the form can also change to take a form similar to that of the Patronus of the loved one.

I'm tired of the hate of Severus Snape...

Lily was a pretty, popular 15 year old, who behaved like all pretty popular 15 year old queen bees. She was fearless, resolute, affectionate to many and admirably sure of herself but also thoughtless, self-centred, lacking in empathy, reactive, quick to deflect blame and expected to be worshipped. In short, she was the golden child. She’d have grown out of her worst qualities and into her best ones, but unfortunately never got the chance. Severus had her on a pedestal despite there being an undertone of classist contempt in all her interactions with him even as children because he had nothing else to measure her up against. And then she was murdered, it was partially his fault, and that pedestal got raised 100 feet higher. He really needed a true ride-or-die friend (or ideally, an adult who wasn’t worthless) and never had one. I don’t know if JKR intended Lily and Severus to read as a ride-or-die friendship that he fucked up by being awful, but that’s not what she put on the page. She put on the page a brittle childhood friendship of convenience that was doomed to fail once Lily found less weird people to hang out with.

I don't know which user sent me this but thank you very much, you inspired me to make this post.

I agree, because the interactions I've seen in the books don't help me much: there are people who think that she didn't see the extent of the Marauders' bullying of Snape, I respect that point of view but I don't agree with it for one thing.

Professor Slughor said she was very intelligent, which i would have let slide, but does she believe everything the other Gryffindors tell her that Severus? Is she so gullible that she believed that James really saved Severus?

Severus tells her that he went to find out what's wrong with Remus, so that everyone can see that the Marauders are not heroes, what does Lily do? She accuses him of being obsessed with them, Lily says that Mulciber put a spell on Mary (a Gryffindor girl who happens to defend her) and when Severus points out that is exactly what the Marauders do to him, she He talks about how: "at least they don't use dark arts" which that simple phrase drives me crazy because for any good friend it wouldn't matter if they used dark arts, I would support them to defend themselves in any way, because Severus didn't use dark arts when he was a student to torture, but rather; in case of defending himself, to occupy him.

I'm going to say something, do you really think she's smart? If she were really smart she would have tried to ask Severus' version, not even a simple: are you okay? did anything happen to you? she didn't even ask that and for me that's a failure.

Lily is the one who blames Severus for the bullying he receives at school, you know with that of "at least they don't use dark arts? If she's so smart, why the hell doesn't she know that there's an entire school that teaches (to a certain extent?) the dark arts, she doesn't empathize with anyone, if she was such a good friend why didn't she get help for Snape? And the only time she "defends" him, she doesn't do it well.

Side note: any spell, be it washing or levitation can do damage depending on how the user uses it, the dark arts must be explored to defend against them, whether they are dark arts or not they do damage anyway.

In my worst memory she only talks to James, I saw an interesting post where she mentions that Lily points out that James changes when she's around, good girl you're on the right track, she takes out her wand but....... doesn't she do magic with it? If she's so smart, doesn't she know how to do non-verbal spells? and I would let it go that maybe she didn't defend him because she was scared of Sirius and Peter, but isn't she supposed to be popular? she could have called someone or just come in fighting.

Or he could have undone the spell but what did he do? He spoke to James alone, only taking out his wand to show.

Later Severus calls her a mudblood, she coldly replies: I would wash my pants Snivellus which only gives me a hint: Lily knows that Severus is poor, the theory that "Lily doesn't know the extent of Severus' domestic abuse and bullying" no longer applies, this little snippet confirms it for me.

Then we move on to the scene, Snape apologizes to Lily, she argues that he calls people like her mudbloods, why would that be any different, at which point I tear my hair out, because it shows that she is capable of tolerating insults as long as they are not directed at her, because if they are directed at her now it is a problem.

Then she marries James Potter, which (Snape aside) makes him a masochist to me, because who would go out and marry a sex offender? (take note: the worst memory was sexual harassment) James went on to harass her and what do they come up with? becoming parents in the middle of a war.

Then there's the hunt for the Potter family, anyone would think that Lily would have her wand on hand or even James would have it on hand in case Voldemort could find them, but no, that night Lily forgot that she is a witch (here I criticize the writing of this character).

In short: I don't like how superficial she is, her mentality that Gryffindors can do whatever they want because they are good, her lack of understanding of Severus' situations, how manipulable she is that she falls into the absurd, the fact that they want to sell her to me as "Miss Perfect" makes me a little angry.

You do know that it's Remus's fault for not taking Wolfsbane right....Infact he almost killed three kids and Severus....I don't think the Grangers nor the Weasleys would want a professor who is irresponsible and almost killed their children. Remus might be good at being a professor but he already got away with it one time, why should he get away with it the second time?

fuck it transfem Severus Snape

shes in the potions class brewing her estrogen. she didn't realize until after the first war against Voldemort, after lily died she had a lot of time to think. she was never in love with lily, she saw her as a sister. and Severus unknowingly wished she was born a girl like lily was.

she's still a terrifying and awful teacher, a hypocrite, and a major bitch that outed Remus.

I can hate a ship even if it's canon, it's something Jily shippers need to accept.

When did James blackmail Lily arrive in canon ? Serious ?

Maybe when James told Lily that he would finally leave Severus alone if she went out with him ? Literally it's in the books.

Also, Lily was already in love with James according to J.K Rowling when he was a little shit and she found him despicable.

Then, when she went out with him, she thought he had stopped harassing students, but the truth was that he continued to harass, specifically Severus, behind her back. Again, it's in the books.

I'm fed up with pro James Potter people who take Lily agreeing to be James' girlfriend as the ultimate proof of real evolution on her part. As if Lily was perfect and would never have feelings for a little bastard while they had these feelings when he was a little bastard ! And she is not a holy goddess who cannot be visibly deceived, since James was able to quietly continue the stupid things he always did, but in secret.

I feel like fans of James, Jily and the Marauders have no real idea of ​​canon...

I know! I absolutely hate it when Mstans use ATYD references on me like wdym Severus bullied the Marauders and was a rich pure-blood??? HA??? No like he was a poor mudblood (half-blood but still mudblood). And nothing was rivalry there.

Guys if you’re going to say Snape protecting the golden trio from a fully transformed werewolf Lupin wasn’t in the books and only the movies so we can’t use that to say he wasn’t that bad- then you can’t use what happened in marauders fanfics to say he was a bad person cause it didn’t happen in the books. Just saying 🤷‍♂️
