Unpopular opinion but I cheered when Severus tried to cut James Potter's face in response to being assaulted.

me too. antis like to act like it was an evil underhanded thing to do but frankly he should have gotten the full sectumsempra treatment that draco did imo

Re-watching the Deathly Hallows and this scene still make me cringe like hell. Why that scene! why? it doesn’t even happen in the book! 

I highly doubt Snape would know where the Potter cottage was. They were in secret hiding to begging with and Snape and Lily weren’t even talking to each other at that point in the story.

So yep, doesn’t happen in the book, first person to reach the house is Hagrid, closely followed by Sirius. 

I could also talk about the fact that he passed over James’s body as if it was no big deal and that a 15 months old INJURED baby cries at the top of his lung right beside him, but nope, let’s hold on to the corpse.

if you ship snily (severus+lily) rather than jily (james+lily), or are debating on it, here’s a reminder that:

when lily rejected james for being mean and immature, he grew up and stopped bullying people for fun.

when lily rejected severus for using racial slurs, he joined a racist terrorist group.

so im watching harry potter and the sorcerer’s stone and mcgonagall just asked harry, ron, and hermione what happened with the troll and hermione says it’s her fault but i can’t stop laughing bc of snape’s face in the background

“bitch y u lyin????”

Friendly reminder that even though Snape wasn’t a death eater, he was still a horrible teacher and a dick to children

After recently coming to the revelation that I actually do like Snape after hating him for so long (partially out of obligation to hate him mixed with a steady diet of wildly out-of-character Marauders fanon tbh), I’ve been thinking about the “bravest man I ever knew” line. I’ve seen a lot of people object to that statement and insist that it should instead be someone like Hagrid, Cedric, Sirius, etc., someone who “treated Harry better.” What they don’t seem to understand is that the bravest man Harry ever knew isn’t necessarily going to be the kindest man he ever knew or the best teacher he ever knew. Severus Snape was a lot of things, sure, but a coward he wasn’t.
