Things That The Harry Potter Films Left Out About Snape

Things that the Harry Potter films left out about Snape

Called Lily a mudblood, then tried to cover himself by saying that she alone was different from other muggleborns

Didn’t see a problem with his friends performing Dark Magic on Mary MacDonald, compared it to the Marauders pranks

Dropped a tree branch on Petunia

Attacked Remus in PoA whilst he was trying to explain things and literally said the words ‘I’ll drag the werewolf. Perhaps the Dementors will have a kiss for him too’

Continued to refuse to listen to Sirius’s explanation even though he was being compliant and had only once tried to fight back, without magic, after Snape attacked Remus

After he found out he wasn’t actually going to get an Order of Merlin, or have the satisfaction of seeing two innocent men in jail, he exposed Remus as a werewolf

Ripped a photo of James and Lily and Harry being happy and in love and a family in half and stole the half with Lily on it

Actively tried to get the Marauders expelled from Hogwarts

Dumbledore was ‘disgusted’ by his attitude towards James and Harry 

Harry distrusted Snape that much he literally thought he was trying to poison Remus

Abused his position as Head of House to unfairly reward points to Slytherin and take points from other houses, especially Gryffindor, far beyond the extent it was shown in the movies

Told Neville he would feed Trevor Neville’s failed potion so the possibly fatal results would teach him a lesson

Mocked Tonks when her Patronus changed, despite the fact his also changed to match Lily’s

Insulted Hermione’s appearance and told her he didn’t see any difference after Draco cursed her teeth to grow and then watched as she ran out crying

Sometimes you just gotta let your tiny wife carry you

‘Mad Eye moody’ yes, he was Barty Crouch Jr but no one knew of this until the end of the books, not even Dumbledore.

Can you just imagine if it was Snape who done these things? But because it wasn’t Snape, it was all fine. Forgotten about. Laughed at. 

Snape was a jerk

He was cruel.

He was nasty.

He never sugarcoated his words.

Had a temper and most certainly was not a nice teacher at all.

He said things he shouldn’t have said. 

He threatened a toad.

He favoured Slytherins (lets face it, someone had too. It’s not like the others did. Never once did he give a house point to anyone in the whole of HP, inc Slytherins - its not like he bought Malfoy a brand new broom or gave them a load of unnecessary points so that Slytherin can steal the cup from Gryffindor at the end of yr feast, or he had a club just for certain students he thought had famous connections or were bright and going places - he didn’t favour them that much)

He done a lot of things he shouldn’t have but never once did he put the students lives at risk or physically hurt them. He has done the opposite, and was constantly saving them. 

Damn
