I know Snape was actually good, but this is still true.

until I got to the end and then whispered it in his voice. Out loud. To my computer.

I've noticed that comments about general Harry Potter ignorance aren't just ignored by the Harry Potter community, but actually downvoted

I really hate posts like this. If he WOULD NOT treat Harry the way he does he WOULD be an entirely different character
AngryRedBear
Not just Harry, he treats EVERYONE like this for the most part. He was a huge asshole who just happened to work for Dumbeldore.
decline
you have apparently not understood the character
AngryRedBear
I understood the character quite well, I just don't like him and do not feel he should be admired.
decline
there is a difference between admiring a character and aknowleding a characters backstory
Homicideishilarious
I don't know if Snape was actually ''good'' he never tried to make new friends or get over the fact that Lily died because he was obsessed.
totesronjeremy
He and Dumbledore always knew Voldemort would be back so he had to play his part. He couldn't act good even if he wanted to.
CaptainBuzzkill
That's bull shit. The guy was miserable and he never thought Lily or Voldemort or anybody was going to come back. He remained a teenager.
totesronjeremy
So, you clearly have not read the book and read the part where it flashes back to when dumbledore tells snap that Voldemort was going to 1/2
totesronjeremy
come back one day and he would need his help to keep him safe? 2/2
Himser
I'm still convinced that he is Harry's Biological father.
totesronjeremy
He looks exactly like James and she was married to James when Harry was conceived so I will have to disagree on that one.
Himser
just the glasses. and i would guess that they have some sort of magical eye surgery :P maybe Snape had that.
totesronjeremy
While I find "maybe magic" a flimsy argument, you made me laugh so +1
boringname
"Just the glasses"? You have only seen the movies, right? Because the books make it very clear he looks exactly like James, with Lily's eyes
Himser
Yea Yea i know ive read the books 3 dozen times too but when i think Snape i think Movie Snape. book Snape had less sympathy for me.
DiglettDigDiglettDigTrioTrioTrio
Was there anything to indicate James wasn't just a total douche? His friends are around Harry, but jerks have friends too...
totesronjeremy
he was a douche to Snape when he was young. He did grow out of it and become a good guy but Snape never forgot.
Selendrii
"He was a jerk?" "Always"
GozerTheGozerian
Well, it wasn't just to Snape, James was a douche to "people", he chilled when got older but Snape remained a "special case" for him.
totesronjeremy
When I say he grew out of it more meant after school, yea he was a grade A dick to him.
miasanmia
I'll be downvoted to oblivion but Snape was a dick. If he were real he'd be on here crying about how he was a Nice Guy who got friendzoned.
DomonKasshu
Unless they sync up with ours, of course!
DomonKasshu
That's probably why he's such a big character that you'll be punished for not liking around here. Sorry, no opinions allowed.
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
i would be a dick too if the only remnant of my only love kept risking his life with capable wizards everywhere
barelyretro
Yeah, because Hogwarts could totally handle itself when there's a new dangerous threat annually.
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
plus did u see those knights in the final battle!!
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
your assumption is a prediction of the future, as mine is a point of view of the present situation, that's where most adults live
barelyretro
You belittling me?
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
....is that from Snape? its been a while
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
*mom
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
and no, i mean adults in general, for all i know you could be 12 and having sex with my more like the others, or 35. just my point of view
DomonKasshu
Snape was a prick and most of the troubles he had he brought on himself. He sacrificed his life, but a hero he sure as hell wasn't.
DomonKasshu
I mean, what exactly is the point? If you don't agree with "us", then fuck you. This is a system of garbage
Kelpie89
oh finally someone who think the same think i thought all along!
DomonKasshu
I don't know why I'm bothering to write all this crap. Is anyone going to read it? Why do that when you can just hush it to bad replies?
herankoana
Are you an idiot? The top and bottom comments are the most read. The middle comments are the damned ones.
DomonKasshu
No, I am not an idiot. The middle comments are usually like minded comments no one bothers to check.
DomonKasshu
If you're at the bottom, either you've said something crass or something opposing the popular opinion.
herankoana
Right, but you called your placement here "hushed." The bad comments section isn't "hushed."
DomonKasshu
Yeah, but it means that people don't take kindly to your comments, and opposing opinions are often shuffled there, so how is that not the
DomonKasshu
You can post if you want, but unless it's the same as what we think, it'll be pushed into bad replies!
totesronjeremy
Yes, when he was young he acted stupid and many paid for it, but he spent 17 years making up for it. With out him many more would have died.
DomonKasshu
Nothing says making up for it by tormenting a kid that would still have his parents if not for your own actions
DomonKasshu
If he hated James so damn much, why not try and raise his (and Lily's) boy The Right Way? You know, instead of treating him like shit?
DomonKasshu
I guess his begrudgin attempt at "protecting" the boy instantly changes the fact that he's got an ugly personality, and most of his issues
DomonKasshu
are brought on by the fact that he can't get over himself?
DomonKasshu
Not to mention that ol' Dumbledore pretty much had to guilt trip him/twist his arm into doing it.
DomonKasshu
If not for that, would he actually have made ANY of these actions? If not for his forlorn love for his schoolgirl crush?
DomonKasshu
Not to mention, he only did it because he never go over his love of Lily, who waited for him, while he was off damning Mudbloods
DomonKasshu
If it was some other board, Snape would have laughed himself to sleep and had his hand in damning the whole world
DomonKasshu
He's not doing it because it's the right thing, or because he's changed. It's because he can't get over the fact that he lead Lily to die.
totesronjeremy
he kept Harry safe for Lily, he kept him unhappy for James
AangTheLastAirbender
He also genuinely disliked Harry, for reasons aside from him being James' son
RebeccaMae
Whoa. That never 'clicked' with me. I realized it, but I did not put it together like that. +1
IamtheHoffman
I knew this, but didn't know this. And makes all kinda of sense.
nursechelsea
very well said!
AdrianAmato
I'd like to think that, although this is true, he also bullied the non-Slytherins to keep up appearances as the bad guy, after all he (1/2)
xoverthirtyx
right in the goddam feels
AdrianAmato
was a double-crossing-double agent and had to keep the most powerful dark wizard believing he was on his side (2/2).
totesronjeremy
Yea people seem to forget that. He gave up any chance to have a happy life to play both sides.
SirWalrusSparkleTitties
I like to think it was more because he had higher expectations for Harry, not only as "the chosen one" but also as the son of the person he
SirWalrusSparkleTitties
cared for most.
totesronjeremy
I still think it had more to do with him looking like James, but that is a really touching thought.
DanceComander
Well remember in the HBP at the end when Harry's trying to attack him, and Snape just keeps almost... encouraging him, to keep trying?
jlv816
Snape had to appear completely evil at that point, all part of the facade. The timing of Harry learning the truth was critical.
IDontReadHoroscopes
It's too early for these tears...
soob
That's still a douche move.
totesronjeremy
I don't remember saying otherwise.
cabalTherapist
And he was an absolute dick to Neville/Hermione/fucking any non slytherin for...?
totesronjeremy
He hated Neville because it could have been him that got attacked and then Lilly would be fine. He was mean to Hermione because she was 1/2
totesronjeremy
friends with Harry. As far as the others go he was just a normal amount of rude to them. He had to keep up appearances.

'Yeah, I hadn't exactly figured out his backstory and everything yet, so in the beginning I made him just an asshole' - J. K. Rowling

I get the feeling she wouldn't have said asshole =P

Depends how many refills she's had in her wine glass during the interview.

"Now you lishten here. I'm ritcher than the fuckin QUEEN"
DomonKasshu
Fantastic! What an upstanding man. Torment this kid because you can't get over your high school grudge with a man you had a hand in killing!
DomonKasshu
Along with his wife, whom you cannot stop loving, even when she waited for you to stop being a bigot. Praise to Servurus Snape!
DomonKasshu
He died because he was still in love with Lily, so that retroactively makes him an honorable hero that did NOTHING WRONG.
LevSco
I don't disagree but we have no idea who he killed/cursed while a deatheater before he became a turncoat.
MadLeprechaun
Dude, I am right there with you. I am not down with this legion of love Snape gets. He was a terrible person.
candystripeacancerward
Dude... he's not real.
DomonKasshu
I'm well aware of that. Do you say the same thing to the people who demand his praise and only such?
candystripeacancerward
I say nothing to them. They don't seem to be as... angry as you.
