#because his role as a spy was more important that getting petty vengeance against Peter at the time

The fact that there are some people firmly believing that Severus Snape knew all along that Peter Pettigrew was the secret keeper and didn’t say anything out of a sense of vengeance towards Sirius Black is baffling to me... and quite telling when it comes to how much people don’t get Severus Snape as a character. 

#severus snape #peter pettigrew #if Snape had know you dumbos #Lily would not be dead #and even so #it's so not what Severus snape is about as a character #he wouldn't have withdrawn something like this from Dumbledore #his own life had been given to Dumbledore to do as he saw fit #you just don't understand #sigh #also Snape is SO not the vengeful kind... #he put Sirius on a stretcher and was planning to deliver him to the authorities for God's sake #and he believed at the time that Sirius was responsible for the Potter's death #he had to live with Peter Pettigrew in his home and he didn't kill him either #because his role as a spy was more important that getting petty vengeance against Peter at the time #sorry I'm rambling #but I feel strongly about this one #and people reading skills are so abysmal sometimes #snapedom #pro severus snape
