Insight on the character Snape or KP organized their feelings on the fucktard that is Severus Snape
So I recently finished Daredevil S2, and I absolutely fell in love with Frank Castle (aka the Punisher). The Punisher is one of the main villains in S2, and when a friend questioned why I liked him so much, I was stumped. Said friend continued on to ask what made Castle win a place in my heart opposed to Severus Snape from Harry Potter, who in my opinion, is one of the worst characters.
What makes a mass murderer better than a double agent?
What makes a serial killer better than a man continually putting himself in danger for the greater good?
And what I concluded the deciding factor is: intention.
A character can be a major screw-up, but if their intentions are good then they are going to be a good person. They’re trying to change, trying to be better. But if they are an average, or even nice character, and their intentions are bad, they are automatically malicious and shady.
Frank Castle is a man driven by vengeance for the death of his family. He is a man hellbent on punishing those who are to blame for his continual suffering. But, he is not a bad guy.
Now granted, he does violently murder many people, and of course that’s not ok in any sense of the word. But, they’re all bad people. The Punisher’s victims are rapists and drug dealers and murderers, people who will harm others with little self regard. The Punisher “prevents deaths before there is a possibility of them happening”. His intent is good.
Besides the fact that Castle is a mass murderer, he is also a decent and honorable person.
-He does not want his actions used to represent or diminish people with PTSD even though it will save him from going to jail
-He is willing to be tortured, but does not allow a dog to get hurt
-He is very respectful (of good people). Calls women ma’am
-He is aware that he is a killer and does not make excuses or play victim (ie family murdered in front of him, shot in the head at point blank (yes, he’s alive. long story), war vet)
-He kills a guy who offered him child pornography
-He has a Medal of Honor
In conclusion; Frank Castle, yes is a serial killer, but also is a good man with good intention, which is why I respect and love the character.

Snape on the other hand….
First let me start off by saying yes, Snape’s character adds to the plot and JK Rowling wrote an interesting character. He has some redeeming qualities for instance, he did put himself at risk to help the Order, he did save Harry many times. But, like Castle, it comes down to intent.
Almost every action, every decision is driven by the man’s love obsession for Lily.
-He continually saves Harry only to help destroy the man who killed Lily/because Harry is the last piece of Lily
-He makes every Gryffindor’s life a living hell (which stemmed from his hatred of the Marauders)
-He joins in teasing students (bc he’s bitter?????)
-He bullies Neville because Longbottom inadvertently caused Lily’s death (but actually not at all)(some could argue because of Snape’s actions, he killed Lily)
-He uses his power as a teacher to assert dominance over fucking 11 year olds
-Traumatizes students enough to legitimately consider harming themselves to get out of seeing Snape (Sorcerer’s Stone chpt. 13 pg 217)
-He threatens to poison Neville’s toad (animal cruelty and probs not allowed at Hogwarts) and then takes points away from Gryffindor because he suspects (w/o proof) Hermione helped Neville save Trevor
-He continually bullies and verbally abuses a thirteen year old boy because the boy isn’t able to work magic quite right using his father’s wand
-Insults students (in this case Neville) right in front of other teachers (Remus) and classmates
-He becomes a student’s (someone who is supposed to feel safe around teachers) worst fear, even though said student’s parents were tortured to the brink of insanity, something he is constantly reminded of
-Snape then makes fun that he is the student’s biggest fear
-Immediately blames Remus when Sirius broke into Hogwarts
-Harshly criticizes Remus’ teaching style, infront of students who admire him
-Ignores Remus’ teaching plan and skips to werewolves
-Docks points for Granger “being an insufferable know-it-all” when she answered the question he asked
-He has students purposely write essays on how to kill werewolves for Remus to grade when he gets back from recovering from the full moon
-Blames Remus (and wants him locked up) for Sirius’s major fuck-up
-Takes credit for saving the Golden Trio from Remus
-OUTED REMUS TO THE ENTIRETY OF THE SLYTHERIN HOUSE/SCHOOL/PUBLIC/PARENTS/FUCKING WIZARDING WORLD
-Hints that he might poison 14 year olds to see if the antidote is correct
-Immediately blames Harry and his “determination to break rules” when his name comes out of the Goblet
-Makes fun of student’s appearance (“I see no difference” to Draco’s curse that enlarged Hermione’s teeth)
-Teases Harry for his (unwanted) attention from the press
-He provokes Sirius about being housebound, when Sirius would give his left arm and leg to go fight
-IS AN ENTIRE FUCKTARD DURING OCCLUMENCY
-He picks apart a minor’s (who has had no experience blocking people out nor has even been explained it very well) memories
-After seeing how the Dursely’s abuse Harry, still believe the child is self-entitled
-Mocks Harry’s first strong romantic feelings (?????)
-Through what JK has said, and context we can conclude that James, although a major dick, wouldn’t go as far as killing Snape. But Snape, casted an unstable, unknown curse (Sectumsempra) with the intention of extremely harming James. (also Snape is the only one with the counter curse) (Order of the Phoenix pg. 647).
-Offers to poison Harry since he’s out of Veritaserum
-Insults Tonks’ new patronus (saying it looked “rather weak”) that changed to a wolf to support/pair with Remus
-Docks 50 points from Harry, before the year even starts, for being late
-Makes fun of Ron’s struggle to apparate
-Claims Harry’s knowledge of Inferi v. Ghosts is something a five year old would know (kids raised by muggles don’t learn about magic until they’re 11???)
-Harry sees Snape’s memories of when Snape told Voldemort about the Prophecy and subsequently caused James and Lily’s death (the only thing Snape seems to regret)
These are just the main points that have been drawn up, a lot thanks to @greygryffindor
Now this post is purely a reflection of Snape and his actions. Not James’, not Lily’s, and not Sirius’.
That being said, I believe this commonly used quote perfectly sums up the whole James/Lily/Snape triangle:
“James was willing to sacrifice himself for Lily and Harry, while Snape was willing to sacrifice Harry and James for Lily.”
Back to the original point.
Castle is a bad man, with good intentions. Which is something I find very important in determining the worth of a character, and determining the worth of a person.
Snape was a bitter man, to which his intentions only ever benefited himself.
“‘After all this time’, Snape shows Dumbledore that he cared nothing for anyone who wasn’t Lily. He hadn’t grown as a person, or made any attachment whatsoever to the boy who constantly battled Voldemort because of him. He hadn’t made any real attachment to anybody, because he was still living in the past, driven relentlessly by the ghost of a young woman whom he never actually understood as a person - because if he had, he wouldn’t have thought she would find becoming a Death Eater impressive, let alone think she’d consider it acceptable to bully the son she gave her life for.
“Even worse, if he hadn’t mentally matured by now, he wasn’t ever going to. Because spying is a dangerous business and the chances were that Snape wasn’t going to last long once Dumbledore was gone (not a guarantee, there was certainly a chance for his survival, but realistically, not a large one). He was ‘always’ going to remain this same man, frozen permanently in a stage of bitter petty hate and punishing the innocent for the crimes of the dead until the day of his death. JKR herself confirms that Snape held onto his hatred and didn’t let it go until his literal last breath - far too late to do anything about it.”
- @lupinatic
And yes, the Marauders were petty, crude and obnoxious towards Snape. However, Snape was not innocent in the feud too. He was just as cruel back. The Marauders grew out of their teenage bullying, Snape’s aged with him.
The final issue I (currently) have with Severus Snape is his relationship with Lily.
He is obsessive, abusive, and unhealthy.
His persistence, even after her death, is honestly gross. She rejects him and he continues to pine over her, making her (and in this case, the reader) uncomfortable.
Part of the reason I have such a strong opinion about this, is because of how revered the Snape/Lily relationship is. His stalker behavior is romanticized and glorified as ‘true love’ and ‘devotion’.
But in reality, the basis of Snape’s personality are the fundamentals of rape culture and domestic violence.
No means no.
Bullying someone will not win them over.
Treating people badly does not equate to love.
Obsessing in private is not romantic.
Hurting people because you were hurt is not ok.
So many people praise Snape and view his actions as romantic and inspiring. This character is glorified as a hero and it scares me that some impressionable reader will mistake this man’s actions for proper behavior.
A character can act badly but still be a true person. A character can also act true but still be a bad person. It all comes down to intent. And Severus Snape’s intention is anything but good. -KP
has this been done yet
You know what I want to know? I want to know what the cast of Harry Potter thought of Severus Snape and Snily. Particularly Emma Watson
Later
Snape *somehow didn't remember his room for plot purpose and enter the room of Barty, Evan and Regulus... While Barty and Evan are banging*: Oh my eyes! this is disgusting oh what the fuck!
Regulus *behind him, who knew what was about to happen, looking at him with disgust*: Not as disgusting as your hair, and I am disguested too. Now piss of this is not your room
Snivllus: Fuck gay people
Barty: Oh I do, every single day
Evan: Amen
Dorcas: Truely a pleasure to do, will recommend
Regulus *grinning*: My boyfriend has the same to do list
Pandora: No self deprecating thoughts out loud go away
People have the audacity to say they weren't fucking.
"you can't defend regulus and not defend snape"
actually, yes, i can. watch me.
snape was a child abuser, who regularly insulted, embarrassed and physically injured his students on a daily basis. he only was part of the order bc he had an unhealthy obsession with his childhood bestfriend, who he called a slur on several occasions. who he, on top of trying to kill her husband, didn't care about her child or family until her life was in danger. he only became "good" when the woman who had rejected him several times might have been injured. he was such a terrible teacher and human being, that one of his student's BIGGEST FEAR was him. he was racist and a blood supremecist, even though he was a half a blood himself. he was not "morally gray", he was a horrible person.
regulus black was forced to become a death eater by his family, and in the end, betrayed voldemort and gave up his life to try to end the war. he loved his house elf, and did everything to make sure kreacher made it out alive. he was not an abuser, he was the abused.
so, yes, i can defend regulus and not defend snape.
Amen!!!!
Harry: Rubeus Regulus Potter, you are named after the man who showed me nothing but love and affection with absolutely no ulterior motives and one of the bravest men I've ever heard of WHO WHILE HE WAS DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF A LAKE TRYING TO TAKE DOWN THE DARK LORD CHOSE TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A HOUSE ELF AND HE DIDN'T DECIDE TO TAKE DOWN THE DARK LORD OUT A SENSE OF OBLIGATION OR GUILT HE GENUINELY SAW THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS and he was in Slytherin so it's all good I don't care what house you're in, you're my son. I love you.
James and Lily Potter fought for the light, because they believed in the light.
Severus Snape fought against the dark, because the dark had offended him.
Me, a marauders fan: I don't like Severus Snape. My Sister: What!??! He's a good person though!! Did you even read the book?? Seems like you need to read it again if you think he's a bad person!! He helped Harry!! Me: I don't like Severus Snape. My Sister: Well then you might as well say Dumbledore is a bad person then, he's also a grey character!! Me, also a dumb-ly-doof basher: I don't like either.
Can we talk about snape? Like he's a horrible person in the way that hes racist even though his best friend was a muggle born, and he abuse her son as well, he was a traitor to pretty much everyone, and even though he died a "hero" he was just shit overall
Though I think there are a lot of reasons as to why he's like this. He was bullied for being weird for most of his childhood, and when he got somewhere that he though he would be safe, he ended up getting bullied for yet again being "weird" and yeah while he was a grease ball, in the end, loosing his best friend and having everyone hate him was his own fault, because eventually James & Sirius grew the fuck up from being bullies, and stopped. The realized that they were wrong and that they fucked up, (Sirius says he regrets it in the books) but thats the difference, is that they grow, and change, but Snape never seems to really grow from his actions, he stays with the dark lord and keeps working as a "spy" for Dumbledore, but when Dumbledore is out of the way (died,) he takes over the school and makes it a living hell for all the students there!!
so no, Snape was never redeemed, he was a bad person, all of it is not entirely his fault, but even when given the chance to grow, he didnt.
let’s get this all cleared up:
james-
-was a bully
-tried to hurt snape
-was quite arrogant
-true to his friends
-grew up
-tried to make amends
-fought wandless against fucking voldemort because he would protect his family if it was the last thing he did, dammit
what a brave man :)
snape-
-was bullied
-was abused
-joined a fascist and racist club
-called his best friend a slur because he was embarrassed
-clung on to said best friend for showing him kindness
-was the boggart of his thirteen-year old student
-reduced a student to tears for fucking answering a question
-bullied a whole generation of kids for no reason at all
-bullied the son of his old crush and his bully because he reminded him of them
-obsessed over a woman who was kind to him, for the rest of his life
-if voldemort went after the longbottoms, he would have stayed a loyal death eater for the rest of his life
-aLwAYs
what a brave man :/

You're so right (Barty's literally my favorite character, he's definitely one of my top 5 across all fandoms) and I'm just gonna add smth I was talking to my unaware-of-marauders-era-regular-hp-fan friend about a few days ago
I hate snape but I do like umbridge (and voldy) because they were meant to be dickheads and didn't give shitty excuses for it like "I thought your mum was hot and didn't understand why she was mad ab me calling her a slur". Like you were meant to hate them and the fandom generally doesn't try to "but they were sad 🥺" them. Plus the "I like the actor" thing - Imelda Staunton is great and instead of her fans liking umbridge more bc of her, generally hp fans like her less bc of umbridge and it makes no sense
But ignoring the actors it's literally "they bullied kids and were an absolute dick 24/7" vs the exact same thing but an incel with the shittiest excuse ever
“how can you hate snape but love barty crouch jr?”
first of all snape isn’t cunty OR babygirl
SNAPE IS A BULLY
The story of Snape and lily hits right in the heart doesn't it?
But if you look at from a real life perspective, it takes a darker turn. Let's take a look at;
- lily is a coloured friend and Snape is Caucasian
- they both are best friends
- Snape loves lily but she doesn't like him in the same way
- after getting proof of the facts she's dating some else
- in a fit of rage he calls her a racial slur/ the n-word in public
- and goes on to join the KKK
- and has a active part involving her death
- bullies Harry because of a grudge on a dead man
- in the end very few people liked him
- also snarry is gross as hell and you need revaluate some stuff if you think that could happen
Extra
- also Harry naming his son after him and albus....Nah
- cursed child is not valid
- Harry would never marry someone that looks like his mum
- his 'love' for lily was more like a obsession
- he ruined the future generations of healers and mediwitches and auors
- I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH HE IS NOT FIT TO BE A TEACHER, EVEN THOUGH HE IS A MASTER POTIONEIRE
My reaction to Snape X anyone
The amount of Snape stans I’ve blocked just keeps growing. Yes, James and Sirius were bullies when they were younger. Yes they weren’t good people. But guess what? Neither was Snape. All I see are justification posts for his behavior and being a death eater. Lemme repeat it again, there is NO justification in the world for joining nazi’s. None. You can argue that Sirius also came from an abusive home but somehow forget that when defending your greasy fave. Especially when his family was full of death eaters. If there’s anyone who should’ve joined the death eaters, it was Sirius. Pureblood, rich heir Sirius who grew up surrounded by darkness yet chose the light. You know why I stan the marauders? Because despite them being little shits when they were younger, they all redeemed themselves more than enough. They matured, stop being assholes, and did great things. James Potter fought the wizard Nazi’s that Snape joined. He gave his life fighting Voldemort and lost his family. Sirius came from an abusive home and lost everyone when he was disowned. He spent 12 years in Azkaban for a crime he didn’t commit and then gave his life fighting the death eaters that Snape joined. Remus was a werewolf who didn’t have friends until the marauders. He gave his life fighting the death eaters and lost his life doing it as well. Remus, Sirius, and James all fought the death eaters and lost their lives because of it. I prefer the people that were bullies when they were younger but grew out of it, instead of the bully who continued being a bully and abused children. The bully who used his power as a school teacher to make his students lives a living hell. The bully that threw Harry on the ground. The bully that terrorized Neville to the point that he was his boggart. The bully that mocked Hermiones teeth so much that she permanently changed it to avoid his bullying. The bully that egged Sirius and taunted him while living in his abusive childhood home. The bully that tried to expose Remus for being a werewolf, knowing it would ruin his life.
Thinking about Snape rn and I kinda wish Rowling had just stuck to making him a villain instead of forcing us to like him because he "loved" Harry's mum and somehow justifying Harry naming his son after him and Ginny being totally okay with it.
Hey, babes!
My previous account (licorice-lips) was deleted -_-
If any of you have any type of access to my post about snape (the one in wich I talk about the extreme casualty of the fact that he was a de) or have its screenshots, please contact me!
I'm so hurt for loosing that essay, I really put so much effort into it and I didn't want to lose it 😭 I tried everything, but even Internet Archive doesn't have it ):
