because of the thing you can’t understand.

It was love, something Voldemort could never understand. It was Snape's love for Lily. That was the whole story.

Snape’s love for Lily was so pure and beautiful that it saved the lives of thousands of wizards. His love protected the wizarding world during both the First and Second Wars. It was Snape’s love that ultimately defeated the greatest dark wizard of all time—not once, but twice. Because of his love, future generations of wizarding children will grow up in peace and safety. The wizarding world owes its life to Snape's love.

I am wondering Who else but Voldemort still fails to grasp the truth and beauty of this love? Who still cannot understand that this love saved the lives of countless souls? Who still cannot see that without his love, the world of magic would have crumbled into Destruction and darkness ?

‘Severus Snape wasn’t yours,’ said Harry. ‘Snape was Dumbledore’s. Dumbledore’s from the moment you started hunting down my mother. And you never realized it, because of the thing you can’t understand.’

- One of the most powerful moments in the entire series. That’s all I have to say.
