I Sometimes Wonder Why Someone As Neat As Snape Would Leave His Hair Long.

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. 🥰❤️

Love how much space they gave Snape. 😊

1926. If Harry Potter Was An Anime.

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.

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.

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.

reblog if you agree Snape was the fucking best character in the HP series
