Just Imagine Snape In A Flower Crown.

Just imagine Snape in a flower crown.

Can someone recommend me a Snape fic where he has a kid?

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.

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. 🥰❤️

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...

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.
