Harry Potter Observations - Tumblr Posts

People wonder why most of the adults in the wizarding world are super irresponsible and emotionally unstable.

I'm thinking it's likely because the 3 generations before Harry Potter are pretty much war veterans and hella traumatized.

The wizarding world isn't known for being very modern and this was before therapy was really a thing in the muggle world.

With both Grindelwald and Voldemort having happened in one century, I think you would struggle to find a mentally healthy wizard or witch.

OMG!!! I just realized Snape was also injured in this scene! Like, just got bit by a massive dog kind of injured.

So either the sheer amount of adrenaline in his body numbed the pain enough for him to run across the castle and down 2 flights of stairs or he was in incredible pain and pushed through it to make sure everyone was okay... and still managed to be the second person in the room to help despite the fact that the other teachers had far more time to track down the troll and were uninjured.

I feel like nobody appreciates this. But I do! Snape is my grumpy hero.

I rewatch Harry Potter just for Alan Rickman's scenes.

Without a lot of the everyday snarky Snape i can clearly see his protectiveness over Harry.

One of my favourites is the Troll scene from The Philosopher's Stone. Snape comes running in like a madman, out of breath and annoyed to find he got all worried over nothing... Like a dad who's real tired of his kids doing stupid dangerous crap. He just angry cuz you made him scared.
