Snape Content - Tumblr Posts

A comprehensive compilation of why Severus Snape is an awful person that doesn’t deserve redemption, pity, or any kindness ever (not in any particular order):

- He is obsessed with the Marauders when they are younger, and tries to compare their antics to the actions of very real, blood supremacist, dark magic-using bullies that Snape was hanging out with and found amusing. (Edit: I’m adding that I’m not saying James and Sirius were right in their actions, I’m simply pointing that Snape wasn’t either. This post isn’t about the marauders, this is about Snape)

(DH, The Prince’s Tale, p673-674, Arthur A. Levine Books edition)

“‘They sneak out at night. There’s something weird about that Lupin. Where does he keep going?’ ‘He’s ill,’ said Lily. “They said he’s ill—’ “Every month at the full moon?’ said Snape. ‘I know your theory,’ said Lily and she sounded cold. ‘Why are you so obsessed with them anyway? Why do you care what they’re doing at night?’”

- Snape was very clearly trying to out Remus and actively trying to prove his case about knowing Remus was a werewolf. (More on this later)

-Calls Lily a mudblood, and then tries to excuse his actions. Then Lily says “...you call everyone of my birth Mudblood, Severus. Why should I be any different?” Snape says absolutely nothing to defend himself on this statement, so we can only assume that it is accurate and he commonly uses a slur to describe other students around him.

-We know Snape invented Levicorpus, which we later see James use. How do you think James learned it if not because Severus had used it on him or another student before? We even see Snape use Sectumsempra on James. Sectumsempra, aka the spell capable of cutting someone open and leaving them to bleed to death. This is the kind of experimentation Snape did with Dark Magic.

-Snape was willing to sacrifice the life of a BABY without a second thought until he discovered that the child was Lily’s. Even after this, he prioritizes Lily’s life and isn’t concerned whatsoever about the life of Harry, who at this time is less than a year old.

-If Voldemort had decided that Neville was the Chosen One instead of Harry, Severus Snape would still be a death eater. He didn’t think being a Death Eater was wrong in any way- it wasn’t until he was directly affected by a childhood crush did he reconsider. 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. Had Voldemort gone after the Longbottoms instead, Snape would have lived and died as the most loyal Death Eater in history. Edit: I understand that we can say ‘if’ all day long. The point here I’m trying to make is that Severus Snape is only supporting the light side because it benefits him in this situation. I’m simply pointing out that he’s selfish by nature.

-The prophecy states that the child will be born to parents that have thrice defied the Dark Lord. So therefore Lily in some way defied Voldemort 3 other times. And only now Snape wants to save her? No. It has more to do with the guilt he’s feeling for telling Voldemort about the prophecy. It wasn’t her death that phased him as much as how he’d feel if he caused her death.

-Snape hates Harry simply for the fact that Harry looks like his father. Have you ever considered how Harry would’ve been treated if he’d been a girl that looked like Lily? Edit: I AM NOT INSINUATING ANYTHING PEDOPHILIC. I am making the point that when Harry come to school, Snape saw him and recognized his childhood bully, and instead of making the mature decision and not making judgments about Harry beforehand, he just assumes that Harry will be like his father was in school. If Harry had looked like Lily, Snape would’ve been more inclined to favor him the way he did Draco or Pansy. Not in a creepy way, just in a confirmation-bias kind of way.

-Severus snape once intended to publicly kill a student’s pet as punishment for getting a potion wrong. This pet was also a gift to Neville from his Uncle for getting into Hogwarts- something that his family didn’t think would happen because he wasn’t “magic enough”. So to him- Trevor is a reminder that he is a wizard and that his family is proud of him. Then Snape wants to kill him because Neville got a potion wrong, reinforcing the idea that Neville isn’t “magic enough”.

-When Snape covers for Lupin's class (told you we’d be back here), Snape taught the DADA class and made all the students write essays on how to kill werewolves so that Lupin would have to read these when he came back from going through an incredibly painful time.

-Snape did everything in his power to get Remus fired despite the fact that Remus had spent 16+ years pretty much homeless and without a job.

(OotP, Percy and Padfoot, p302, Arthur A Levine Books edition)

“‘I know she’s a nasty piece of work, though—you should hear Remus talk about her.’ ‘Does Lupin know her?’ asked Harry quickly, remembering Umbridge’s comments about dangerous half-breeds during her first lesson. ‘No,’ said Sirius, ‘but she drafted up a bit of anti-werewolf legislation two years ago that makes it almost impossible for him to get a job.’”

Edit: So let’s do some basic math here. This happens in Order of the Phoenix. The anti-werewolf legislation was written two years prior. This would’ve been during or around The Prisoner of Azkaban. Why would somebody randomly write a piece of legislation like this? Let’s just say that there was a teacher that was outed as a werewolf and people were not happy about it. That would give pretty good reason for someone to write a piece of legislation that would make it hard for a werewolf to get a job. Not just Remus. Every werewolf. Who outed Remus to the wizarding world at large? Severus Snape. So for anyone suggesting that what I wrote below is as good as fanfiction, maybe actually read the books and pay attention to smaller plot lines.

-When Snape tells everyone that Remus is a werewolf, he’s not just telling students or their parents. He’s telling the wizarding world. Because of this, Dolores Umbridge wrote a law that made it almost impossible for Remus to find a job. So not only did he ruin Remus’s life. He ruined the life of Every. Single. Werewolf. in the UK.

-Neville Longbottom’s greatest fear is Severus Snape. Not the woman who tortured his parents into insanity, not the worst wizard of all time, not even any of his other followers. His TEACHER. And this is at an age where Neville doesn’t know everything about Snape and all he’s done. That speaks VOLUMES.

-Condones and takes part in bullying a CHILD when Hermione had enormous teeth EXTENDING PAST HER CHIN growing because of a hex, Snape says, “I see no difference.” After this, Hermione permanently modifies her teeth.

(HBP, Snape Victorious, p160, Arthur A Levine Books edition)

“‘I was interested to see your Patronus.’ He shut the gates in her face with a loud clang and tapped the chains with his wand again, so that they slithered, clinking, back into place. ‘I think you were better off with the old one,’ said Snape, the malice in his voice unmistakable. ‘The new one looks weak.’”

-Mocks Tonks when her Patronus changed when she fell in love with Remus despite the fact that his changed to match Lily’s.

-“Snape took the page bearing Lily’s signature, and her love, and tucked it inside his robes. Then he ripped in two the photograph he was holding, so that he kept the part from which Lily laughed, throwing the portion showing James and Harry back on the floor, under the chest of drawers…” She was laughing at her husband and son. People she loved dearly enough to give up her life and Snape took that and cut them out of it so he could pretend she was laughing for him. Her love in the letter was for Sirius who was the best man at her wedding and her good friend in the order. Snape took that so he could pretend her love was for him. This isn’t romantic. It’s creepy. Snape feels entitled to Lily’s love even though he’s done nothing to deserve it.

-The ONLY reason Snape protects Harry is that he’s under an obligation to by Dumbledore (who is blackmailing him, so Snape doesn’t have a choice). Snape isn’t doing it because he wants to. He’s doing it because if he doesn’t, Dumbledore could sell him out to Voldemort and he’d be killed.

-Again, when he kills Dumbledore, it’s not out of the kindness of his heart or his care for Dumbledore. It’s because he’ll be killed or severely punished if he doesn’t.

-Snape may have done good things, but it isn’t because he wants to. It’s because he doesn’t have a choice.

Essentially, at his roots, Snape is a self-centered blood supremacist who bullies people and only does good things when being threatened and emotionally abuses children because he can’t get over somebody he was attracted to in middle school and is perfectly fine killing adults and infants alike when it’s in his best interest.

Agreed XD

Ever snape simp wants to ride that Roman nose like a stallion

I had this idea years back when I saw the scene in House MD where he tries to operate on his own leg

Sev the moment he gets comfortable with physical closeness

I was making this picrew and it ended up looking like teenage Severus

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. 🥰❤️

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.

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.

Could you imagin a post war scenario (with a very much alive Snape tyvm) where everyone is there to help pick up castle debris, and when i say everyone i mean the order and there familys (ex. Molly + husband and all there fucking kids aka a mini army)

And out of nowhere this big rugged lumberjack dude shows up and everyone is confused cuz who tf is that!? Many of them are slightly intimated cuz boy is that guy big and tall. Hes just looking around standing there waiting for somthing or someone.

Molly is the one to walk up to him not giving a fuck as she comes to a stop infront of him she can already tell he has a kind soul.

"Can i be of help hon? You look lost." she says with a kind smile on her face but a hand on her hidden wand, after all the war just ended she dosent want to risk it.

And this big intimating lumberjacks face just lights up with the biggest smile

"why yes thank you, do you know where Severus is?" as he talks it is clear he's from america more specifically the south

And those of the order that stayed close "just in case" are firmly puzzled, what business does this big guy that is currently radiating the energy of 100 golden retrievers on steroid's have with there sarcastic potion's master?

"Hes repairing the dungeons" she point to the hall just behind her "Down this hall then to the right theres a set of stair's you can take down dear, would you like me to walk you there?"

"Thats mighty kind of you ma'am but i am sure i can fallow the directions you have given me, thanks for the help"

he leaves he can her a soft "any time dear" come from the kind woman

As he goes to find Severus he managed to leave behind a group of puzzled and curious witches and wizzards.

----------------

Honesty somthing resonated in me when i read that, dont be suprised if you see more of this concept on my page, especially considering my sketch book is already open.

Sorry for any misspellings and improper grammar i am dyslexic

Severus Snape dating this big tall guy who is at least a head taller than him and with shoulders at least double the width. who wears flannel and has a beard with a gruff voice and is just the epitome of a lumberjack. He looks scary/tough but is actually the sweetest person anyone will ever meet. He is super protective of Severus and doesn’t take any of Severus mean comments to heart. He easily makes Severus face turn red from embarrassment with just how sweet and kind he is. He is just about the very last person you would expect someone as clean, tidy, lanky, pale, abrasive, and sarcastic as Severus to be with , but so help anyone who is mean to the guy because Severus will make anyone regret it.

I love this so much

Lily: *sensory seeking ADHD* don't you love Hogwarts Sev?!

Snape: *sensory deprivation autistic* AbSoLuTeLy nOt

I was talking with my friend last night and we got to the topic of Severus, more specifically how everybody sees/thinks of Sev differently. He then described what his teen Sev looks like in his head, and ofc i had to doodle it :]
