I sometimes wonder why someone as neat as Snape would leave his hair long.
It's probably just a dislike of haircuts or habit or whatever. Maybe to hide his nose?
Dude probably cuts his hair himself and doesn't bother to learn any cosmetic charms.
But my favourite possible reason is that he has a big birthmark on his neck that he feels quite insecure about so he grew out his hair to cover it.
For some reason, I think this is adorable. 🥰❤️
Hiya!
So, I've been writing this fanfic for a little over a year and figured I would finally share it here.
It includes:
Female Harry
Parental and Eventually Adopted Parent Snape
Abused Harry
Slytherin Harry
Drarry
Dumbledore bashing but only a lil bit
Super-duper slowburn and slowbuild
Also tons of plot change because it's kind of a fix it fic for my benefit
Just imagine Snape in a flower crown.
Why I Love Snape: Reason #3
His hair.
His hair is shoulder length and greasy. Why is his hair shoulder length and greasy? Is it because it is wizarding fashion? Is it because he avoids haircuts? Or is it because he grew up in the 60s and 70s when long hair was on the rise? Who knows.
Honestly I like his hair because of the possibilities. And the drama. His hair is just a vibe. I love it.
Though I wish I could help him wash it. He needs some shampoo and conditioner. Maybe even a double wash. Then some hairstyles he might find more comfy.
A grumpy man with long hair is the best image.
Severus Snape's father.
Tobias Snape was likely a veteran.
Tobias Snape was born early 1920s and was probably 14-19 years old when ww2 started in 1939.
The war lasted from 1939 to 1945, in which time Tobias definitely made it into the 18 to 41 age range at which british men were conscripted.
He spent at least 2 years as a soldier.
He came back and 15 years later he had Severus Snape.
Tobias might've dealt with PTSD and possibly drank quite a lot. He was definitely not a very pleasant man as it was hinted that he abused his wife and was neglectful towards Severus.
In my mind, Snape grew up with a extremely toxic masculine influence in his father and it made him afraid to show vulnerability and be himself openly.
Snape probably hates being called just Snape because that's what his dad was called and that's why he insists on be called Professor Snape.
Snape likely doesn't like the smell of muggle alcohol and doesn't like to drink too much. If he ever struggled with alcoholism he probably beat himself up all the time with 'i am just like my abusive father' thinking.
He dislikes violence and avoids raising his voice because it reminds him of his father. He never wants to be like his father.
I think Tobias likely had a 'you will never be worth anything' sort of thing towards Severus and that's what gave him the determination to prove himself to get back at his father. His father might be one of the reasons why Severus Snape is a Slytherin.
So Luna sleepwalks pretty often. Says so herself, wears shoes to bed even.
You cannot tell me that teachers on nighttime patrol haven't found Luna wandering around.
Can you imagine, Snape's out on the hunt for students out of bed and hears someone walking around, he turns the corner and finds Luna sleepwalking. Then he's stuck trying to decide whether to wake her up or not. Does it actually hurt to wake a sleepwalker? Is that just an old wives tale? Then he spends the rest of the night following Luna around to make sure she doesn't hurt herself cuz he's indecisive.
He probably spends the next day researching sleepwalking so he can be prepared next time.
But before he could finish this jinx, excruciating pain hit Harry; he keeled over in the grass. Someone was screaming, he would surely die of this agony, Snape was going to torture him to death or madness —
“No!” roared Snape’s voice and the pain stopped as suddenly as it had started; Harry lay curled on the dark grass, clutching his wand and panting; somewhere overhead Snape was shouting, “Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord — we are to leave him! Go! Go!”
But this is a very visceral reaction. Harry starts howling in excruciating pain, and Snape reacts instinctively: he roars "No!" immediately. And there he was telling Dumbledore that he didn’t care for Harry?
me: hey it kind of sucks that snape got brutally murdered via snake and i don’t think he deserved to have the most vicious and painful death of the series
some bozo the clown crawling out of the gutter: ACTUALLY brutal murder is fine as long as it’s happening to a character i don’t like. how dare you be have any sympathy for snape at all. he deserved to be drawn and quartered for having the gall to *checks hand* be a mean teacher and make terrible life decisions as a young adult.
«Мне кажется что будущего нет,
Его стереть сумело безразличие,
И мне уже не важен так рассвет,
День или ночь – не нахожу отличия.»
reblog if you agree Snape was the fucking best character in the HP series
Draco: Stupid Potter. He thinks he’s so great. Everyone loves him with his firebolt, and stupid Gryffindor friends, and his charming personality, and his contagious smile, and his firm arse.
Lucius:
don’t tell me this isn’t canon
Saw this...
And this happened.
Thanks for the inspiration, @bexterrr 😂
people that judge snape for loving lily even after her death are very questionable people…
I like to imagine that Snape comes homes, flings his teaching robes across the room and pulls on an oodie. 😂
@potion-daddy You inspired this.
Just a little doodle of Snape.
...might have made him too pretty 😔
I was wrong. Salazar Slytherin was born before 976. The witch trials and hunting of witches officially spanned from late 1300s to mid 1700s. However people had been killed and assaulted for being witches and wizards before then and after then too.
Salazar likely lived through plenty of persecution. It's possible that he feared muggles because of their intentions towards magical people.
Muggles wanted to kill wizards and witches. Women were targeted the most due to misogyny and children were incapable of protecting themselves.
This conflict could've even been his motivation to help found Hogwarts; to help children learn to protect themselves.
Then the whole thing with him not wanting muggleborn children attending Hogwarts, it's likely that Salazar thought it would be risky to allow muggle families to know where Hogwarts, a castle filled with wizarding children, was located when tensions were high and it could end with tons of dead children.
There is also no proof as to what the Basilisk was intended for. It could've been his last defense for the castle or something he kept to use it's venom for potions. Basilisks could've also been endangered and he wanted to protect it. Or just someone to chat with.
We only know a legend that had over a thousand years to warp into what it was in 1992 and a starving Basilisk that Voldemort (a muggle hating murderer) used to kill a single person.
Also, doesn't anyone else wish Harry had befriended the Basilisk and promised it snacks in return for betraying Voldemort? Then it could've burst out of the ground during the Battle of Hogwarts and killed some Death Eaters.
This is my defense of Salazar Slytherin
Okay, so you know the whole people burning witches thing in the Harry Potter series?
Everyone seems to get all stuck up on the timeline. People who do some research realized it doesn't match up. Salazar was born in the very early 1800s, and the witch trials in england ended in the early 1700s.
This means that his parents or more likely, his grandparents were part of the people being hunted.
Another thing people argue is that the witch's didn't actually burn. They just screwed around with the muggles. However, after thinking for a while, I realized. The children. Magical children wouldn't have the skills or the discretion to hide their magic or protect themselves. It's likely that most of the wizarding community that actually died at the hands of muggles were children.
It's possible that his grandparents had siblings and friends as children who were burnt to death. It wouldn't be that far off to think Salazar Slytherin grew up hearing horror stories of young children being hunted and killed.
This would explain him being scared of and hating muggles and the children who grew up with muggles.
The basilisk could've just been for protection against intruders.
Or the entire legend could be speculation based on modern biases because history is wonky and legend are unreliable.
Please don't kill me. This is just a theory stemming from being tired of all Slytherins being evil.
Why I Love Snape: Reason #2
His fashion sense. Snape's clothes are so dramatic and he is very dedicated to his look.
He's probably got a wardrobe filled with duplicates of completely black outfits.
Maybe owns a few grey or dark green items but that's only for when he's feeling adventurous.
Wish I could see him in a deep purple tho...
Love how much space they gave Snape. 😊
1926. If Harry Potter Was An Anime.
Why I love Snape: Reason #1
His nose.
His nose is big and lots of people seem to think it is ugly... But they are wrong.
Roman noses or hooked noses are very handsome. 🥰
I'm not sorry that Snape doesn't fit beauty standards. It makes him unique and he makes me feel better about the fact that I don't have an upturned nose.
Can we get some more Snape fans in the comments.
There are way too many James fans and they're being toxic.
Snep.
Please reblog this it took me 10+ hours
Did Snape even get to go to Lily's funeral?
He was going through all the legal crap of being a death eater turned spy and everyone knew, so he probably would've been attacked if he tried to go out in public.
The scene in the movie where he held her body wasn't what really happened. So did he never get to see her body? Did he never get closure?
That would really suck.
Can someone recommend me a Snape fic where he has a kid?
This is beautiful ❤️ Just gonna go die now.
