Draco: Stupid Potter. He thinks he’s so great. Everyone loves him with his firebolt, and stupid Gryffindor friends, and his charming personality, and his contagious smile, and his firm arse.

Lucius: 

don’t tell me this isn’t canon

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

«Мне кажется что будущего нет,

Его стереть сумело безразличие,

И мне уже не важен так рассвет,

День или ночь – не нахожу отличия.»

me: hey it kind of sucks that snape got brutally murdered via snake and i don’t think he deserved to have the most vicious and painful death of the series

some bozo the clown crawling out of the gutter: ACTUALLY brutal murder is fine as long as it’s happening to a character i don’t like. how dare you be have any sympathy for snape at all. he deserved to be drawn and quartered for having the gall to *checks hand* be a mean teacher and make terrible life decisions as a young adult.

But before he could finish this jinx, excruciating pain hit Harry; he keeled over in the grass. Someone was screaming, he would surely die of this agony, Snape was going to torture him to death or madness —

“No!” roared Snape’s voice and the pain stopped as suddenly as it had started; Harry lay curled on the dark grass, clutching his wand and panting; somewhere overhead Snape was shouting, “Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord — we are to leave him! Go! Go!”

But this is a very visceral reaction. Harry starts howling in excruciating pain, and Snape reacts instinctively: he roars "No!" immediately. And there he was telling Dumbledore that he didn’t care for Harry?

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.

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.

Why I Love Snape: Reason #3

His hair.

His hair is shoulder length and greasy. Why is his hair shoulder length and greasy? Is it because it is wizarding fashion? Is it because he avoids haircuts? Or is it because he grew up in the 60s and 70s when long hair was on the rise? Who knows.

Honestly I like his hair because of the possibilities. And the drama. His hair is just a vibe. I love it.

Though I wish I could help him wash it. He needs some shampoo and conditioner. Maybe even a double wash. Then some hairstyles he might find more comfy.

A grumpy man with long hair is the best image.

Just imagine Snape in a flower crown.

Hiya!

So, I've been writing this fanfic for a little over a year and figured I would finally share it here.

It includes:

Female Harry

Parental and Eventually Adopted Parent Snape

Abused Harry

Slytherin Harry

Drarry

Dumbledore bashing but only a lil bit

Super-duper slowburn and slowbuild

Also tons of plot change because it's kind of a fix it fic for my benefit

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. 🥰❤️

If you are a Snape fan and have never seen this deleted scene...

Well you need to.

The sheer emotion in Snape's face. 😢

I feel like Snape at some point has tripped over his huge robes.

I can just see him as a young teacher, getting used to his fancy new robes and stumbling in the hallway then checking if anyone saw.

Then threatening any witnesses into silence.

Absolutely beautiful animation of Snape's life.

I have a new Snape headcanon.

He smokes a pipe to calm himself sometimes.

He picked it up from Lucius.

He was really hesitant about it at first because his father smokes and it smells horrible.

But pipe smoke smells very different and he likes it.

I don't know. It's just soothing to picture Snape smoking a pipe and reading a book like a grandpa.

Has anyone just realized that Snape's entire appearance is a Jewish stereotype.

Like... The fact that he's a Jewish stereotype and we're supposed to hate him.

Also, incredibly ironic that people compare him to a N*zi.

Poor Sevy. 🥺

The marauders deserve some disemboweling. 😇

the truth

Okay, so the deal is that Jewish people were often linked to witchcraft.

So Jewish stereotypes became witch stereotypes due to anti-Semitism.

The big hooked nose, black hair, dark eyes, and olive skin that can look sallow depending on conditions.

That is a Jewish stereotype.

That is a witch stereotype.

That is Snape.

It likely wasn't intentional on JK Rowling's part. She simply applied a witch stereotype to a commonly disliked character when that stereotype is also a Jewish person.

Hey, I'm curious what everyone is thinking about who should be cast for Snape in the upcoming TV show.

I know that Adam Driver is a popular fancast but I personally think that he doesn't fit my criteria.

I'm sure he would do wonderful in the show but I just think he's a bit too old (he's 40 and Snape is 31) and also he's an American actor and I'd prefer a British or British-adjacent actor.

So I want to hear who you would cast for Snape if you had the power.

My personal choice is Philippe Spall but I'm not too firm in that. I just saw him in The Witcher and I thought he looked like Snape.

So apprently J.K.Bitchings is a straight up Holocaust denier. Like I already new she was antisemitism because of

goblins and also a significant amount of the plot being weird Holocaust fanfic, but goddamn. Anyways I suggest in light of this revelation we tack on Harry being a little Jewy lad on top of being trans and gay
