Snape saved my life and I’m not kidding

I’m for real. 

I’ve been a victim of bullying my whole life. 

I’ve been bitter, angry, hateful to people. I’ve been lonely and depressed because how bad I had it in school. It was a torment to me. I thought it would have never ended. I ended up spiraling. I was a kid and I was already struggling with body image because of bullying. I had it that bad. I hated myself. HATED myself.  

Snape is the reason I realized how much I needed help. When I red the books, I thought I was like him. And that I would’ve ended my life or seriously hurt myself If I’ve had to teach in the same place that saw me so vulnerable, for all those years like he did. I emphasized with him A LOT because I knew, I just new - I would’ve become worse than him. 

When I thought that he would’ve had it better if only he’d left that toxic place (Hogwarts) and went to therapy, I had to ask myself “Ok, then why aren’t YOU going to therapy?”

I’m better now. Not fully healed, but better. I’m improving. I’m older, maybe (hopefully) wiser, time has passed, but Snape is still my comfort character. Because he reminds me that I need to be kinder to myself. And I really like to thing that he managed to live and find a place where he could heal and finally be happy. I like to think that he forgave himself and loved himself. 

Ps. I always cringe when I see snater posts. Because I know that they would’ve hated me at my worst. They would’ve loved to see me down. I don’t trust them.

A conversation I had today

The Human: Omg is that Snape on your Lock Screen…ew 😬

Me: …I missed the part where that was anyone’s business, but I have time today…yes…it’s Severus Tobias Snape aka THE Half-blood Prince on MY phone…is there a problem cause I’d be happy to help🙃

The Human: no…it’s just that-

Me: It’s just that you find it difficult to understand how anyone could EVER have a different opinion than you about a fictional character…

The Human: pfft! It’s SNAPE…he’s one of the worst characters!

Me: you’re proving my point…I hate to break it to you but that’s an opinion 🙂

The Human: ok, so what’s your opinion on him?

Me: He’s brave, he’s loyal, he’s mentally stronger than I’d be if I were in his shoes, he’s powerful, he was creating his own spells at the age you were probably obsessing over Justin Bieber AND he was skilled enough to be able to deceive one of the most powerful wizards in the world for YEARS…when he loves, he loves forever, he may be a dick but he has an even bigger one, and he may be a bitch sometimes but he’s THAT bitch, he’s the moment, he’s the drama, he’s our overdramatized dungeon bat who likes his coffee to match his soul- dark and bitter…he’s been beaten down in every aspect of life and still managed to stay strong and complete his mission and never expected anything in return other than maybe a damn thank you and he did it all -dies for it- for a person who wasn’t even alive…My opinion is that he perfectly represented the idea that you don’t have to be NICE to be a good person and that trauma doesn’t have to be a weakness, because in the end, I believe it was his greatest strength…any other questions?

The Human: …😟

Me: ok well have a good day 😊

Seriously, can Snaters go to their own little corner of the world and leave us alone

It is so funny when snaters complain about Snape being a strict teacher coz you know what's not a convincing thing to do if you want to prove to Voldemort you're on his side (and kinda give that vibe to other people as well that you're truly a death eater)? ; being a loving and sweet teacher. Aside from Snape generally being bitter due to trauma and being sassy/savage by nature, I think many people miss the fact that he was performing as a double agent + his saying to Dumbledore to never reveal the best of him. He really took what he said to Dumbledore seriously, I think he wanted to hide the fact that he was good even from himself sometimes, that's how much guilt weighed him down. He got lost for a few years and spent the rest of his life repenting and compensating and unlike popular belief, righting your wrongs doesn't look like a bed of roses coz it isn't. (He was also a tsundere I think but his personality is a topic for a separate debate.)

I think that's what I like about the Always scene too. While I think Snape truly loved Lily to the very end of his life, he also began to genuinely care about Harry for himself/not coz he's her son and care about other people and their lives as well & being on the good path/right side of history (plus he was serious about righting his wrongs as I said earlier). He didn't want even Dumbledore to know that he had in fact grown to care about Harry. Snape was a good actor and used his acting skills well 👏 (coz Dumbledore can be manipulative and use your emotions in a calculated way and Snape not revealing he cared about Harry in front of Dumbledore was so chef's kiss of him I think)

I think the other thing snaters hate him for is not forgiving the Marauders and not moving on from Lily as if he owed anyone his forgiveness or moving on! 🙄 And they're so bitter that despite that he was able to be a double agent and work as a teacher.

So much of what they hate him for is a projection of the Marauders. Like they claim he didn't "deserve" the redemption arc coz he never changed. But we can see how Sirius told that it was not like James was hexing Snape in front of Lily on their dates (as if bullying and hexing him behind her back was somehow okay) and brushed it off like that when Harry confronted him for their past bullying of Snape. Snaters claim that it was somehow OK for the gang to bully him coz he later went on to become a death eater anyway and not see the irony of how what the gang did CONTRIBUTED to him becoming a death eater. Despite everything they did Snape never revealed their worst behaviours to Lily (it was so fucked up of Dumbledore to silence him). Snape proved that the best revenge was making your self more successful. He never actively sought out revenge on them, just used self defence. About loving Lily, people claim to be so accepting and romanticise loving someone for eternity and then turn around and shame Snape for the very same (we don't even know if his love for her was romantic btw). Like it's socially acceptable to mourn and not move on if the person you loved was your partner but since snily were never lovers it is somehow so outrageous in their minds that a man loved a woman while staying in his lane?

(All these things about Snape some people can't digest smh.)

And Harry understood all of this. While he loved his father because he was his family, he didn't held him in as much reverence as he did prior to SWM. Harry also acknowledged that Snape truly loved Lily and understood that he changed for the better. And seeing all of this doesn't even require some complicated analysis or breakdown but just simple reading of the text. Like I get teenagers misunderstanding Snape coz of the hate bandwagon in the early hp era but if you're an adult and still do that then it's just your reading comprehension skills mate.

Why everyone say that Snape “hated” Neville because he wasn’t a “chosen one”??? Are you okay, people? Like I said earlier, Neville did a lot of mistakes in potion, it was a dangerous to everyone and HIMSELF. Snape as a teacher got angry. Macgonagall and others teachers literally got the same feelings. Nevill’s grandmother was mad at him because he wasn’t as brave as his father. Ya’ll remember what was in the end to Neville’s parents and then she tells to his grandson that he is not as good as his parents, because his parents are crazy because of torture and risked themselves, but Neville is not so brave and immediately worse. grandma are you ok there? HELLO, your son and daughter-in-law were tortured and now they are in a psychiatric hospital for a whole life. IT'S TIME TO BULLY YOUR GRANDSON WHO JUST WANTS TO LIVE HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE. I can believe that she hated Neville. Snape didn’t. Snape has a good logical thinking (unlike the snaters), and he understands that this is a child who is not to blame for his birth. I like when people are mad to everything just because it’s Snape. Seriously, I didn’t see so much hate to Bellatrix, or to Lucius... for example? Why not? They ARE actually the villains. Really. Fuck off and go away from Snape.

Jily

ok, so this may be kinda long time coming but.

I don’t think Jily is a realistic ship.

Seriously. From the Characteristics shown by the Previous Generation from the books (and additional commentary from Pottermore and JKR) we (Apart from snaters/James stans) can understand that James, just like his fellow marauders, never changed. he just got better at hiding things (or, which is what I see more likely, used his Head Boy badge to make his bullying look legal) from others.

and Lily is not, at least in the books, a total and complete moron and she would probably see that the marauders hadn’t changed.

so unless Lily was really an idiot, I don’t see how They ever got together.

The way I see it, there are four possibilities:

1) Lily was an utter moron who didn’t see James hadn’t changed.

2) James changed after school (aka, when they got serious and married)

3) They had to marry because of a one night stand that got her married (Another post explains this better, i can’t find it sry)

or 4) He just used amormentia on Lily.

I don’t know which is worse

(tw bullying) Sometimes I go to the anti-snape tag bc I want some variety in opinions, and I don't really have an issue with people disliking Snape...he's not a nice person.

But then I get a post that's like 'Snape deserved to be bullied' and all the variants and it's just...look, "Snape was and awful person" and "Snape didn't deserve to be bullied" are not mutually exclusive. And just bc Snape was a lousy nasty teacher as an adult doesn't mean he was that way as a kid.

I think it's just a specific minority that thinks this stuff*, and granted, there is a very strong slant in HP that leans towards the Marauders* but it just kills any desire I have to read further, even if I block whoever said it.

*(for the sake of the post and all new readers, I'll give the summarized version: Almost every time we hear about something the Marauders do to Snape, we quickly get the Marauder's 'Snape did something to deserve it' POV. Plus we're inclined to like the nicer Marauders vs the nasty teacher Snape).

*I'm trying not to generalize all marauders fans/anti snape people for a variety of reasons.

I completely agree. Despite how headstrong I seem to be about my opinions (which I am), I genuinely am so interested in hearing other people’s opinions and trying to look at the text from their perspectives and interpretations. 😭 I feel like my followers have no idea how balanced I can be during arguments bc y’all mostly just see me focusing on the negative aspects of the characters I hate (because to me, that overshadows the positive aspects of their character). For each character I hate, there’s almost always a long process of how I came to hate them, watching/reading the entirety of the show/movie(s)/book(s), forming an opinion about the character throughout the series, reading other people’s analyses of said character and how they interpreted certain things the character did, finally concluding whether I love/hate/dislike/get irritated by/etc this character, and then try to build a balanced take on them for later discussions.

Sorry that got long 😭 I just wanted to explain to y’all that I really love meeting people who have different/more neutral opinions than I do so I can learn about them 💀 anyway-

Like I said, I agree with you, I enjoy reading a variety of mixed opinions and seeing other people’s perceptions of a character I feel strongly about (be it positive or negative). But I seriously hate when Snaters always dramatise their hatred (emphasis on always, bc sure I can be dramatic too BUT AT LEAST I ACTUALLY ANALYSE SCENES AND EXPLAIN WHY SAID CHARACTER SUCKS) and over-exaggerate every single thing he does, they always make it hard to be civil and calm when reading their posts 😭 And when they call him Snivellus, make childish and hurtful jokes about his appearance, and try to actually JUSTIFY all the trauma he went through? That’s a no-no. I may hate a lot of characters, but I would never actively try to justify what they went through (throwback to that one Snape fan who tried to say Sirius wasn’t abused and was just mistreated 🤢 so gross and disrespectful) nor would I pretend that it doesn’t play a part in how the character turned out later on. Snaters fail to realise that “this character was abused” and “this character is a shitty person/a bully” can coexist, they hardly even register that his being abused at childhood was most definitely a contributing factor in how he turned out as an adult (which even the simplest of minds can realise).

*I'm trying not to generalize all marauders fans/anti snape people for a variety of reasons.

Lol it’s okay anon, your clarification isn’t necessary. I think we all know that not everyone from the Marauders fandom acts like that. Usually, if one were to look at your ask and think “ok but not all of us!! you’re generalising! *starts attacking us*”, then that would be a pretty tell-tale sign of low intelligence. 💀

Thanks for the ask, love! Have a great day.

Snape Derangement Syndrome: When one’s negative feelings about Snape are present to such dramatic extents that it prevents one from an objective literary analysis; when reactions against Snape have little or nothing to do with what is actually truly in the books; when the mere mention of Snape is enough to send one into either forgetfulness or rage, leaving behind any balance at all.
