Undoubtedly Severus snape was a hero and that was simply because he sacrificed his life for Harry (or the wizarding world)

In the beginning, I too felt that snape was a nice man, a brave man but there are so many things wrong with him. I used to be a pro-snaper too and then I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to offend the pro-snapers but I’m not gonna lie anymore, the only reason I love Snape is because of how he was portrayed by Alan Rickman. (honestly a legend )

Also, remember book snape is a lot meaner than movie-Snape. It’s only after reading the books that you realise the film writers left a lot of Snape’s horrible behaviour out of the films. I loved Alan Rickman’s portrayal of Snape and can think of no one else who would have played him better, but Snape’s film counterpart was nice compared to book Snape.

Here’s a reminder of his past before the first book

(I did my research)

Severus Snape was born 9 January 1960 to Tobias Snape, an abusive Muggle, and Eileen Prince, a neglectful pure-blood witch. He began to identify with his mother's family and created a secret nickname from his mother's maiden name, calling himself the "Half-Blood Prince".

His home life was not pleasant, with his parents’ constant fighting and neglect of Severus. At the age of nine, he met the love of his life, Lily Evans. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her in 1971 and was sorted into Slytherin House. Lily, however, was sorted into Gryffindor.

Similarly to his situation at home, life at school was also rough. Despite his talent in Potion-Making and joining the Slug Club hosted by Horace Slughorn, he became enemies with Gryffindor students James Potter and Sirius Black who frequently bullied him, giving him the name ‘Snivellus’. He developed an interest in the Dark Arts, creating spells such as ‘Levicorpus,’ and ‘Sectumsempra,’ and became involved with a group of pure-blood extremists in Slytherin, most of whom would later become Death Eaters. It put tension on his friendship with Lily Evans, a muggle-born witch, and in their fifth year, after he called her a ‘mud-blood’ during an argument, she terminated their friendship.

Severus then noticed one of James Potter’s friends, Remus Lupin, suspiciously disappearing whenever a full moon appeared, and attempted to follow him past the Whomping Willow (after Sirius Black had told him how), putting himself in deadly harm. James found out what had happened and came to Severus’ rescue, ultimately saving his life.

Let's just start this by saying well, Snape's backstory explains his actions, but can never NEVER be an excuse for his actions

I love how people are just like "I'm a snape apologist" so u agree he has the stuff to apologize for.

This man is simply messed up because of various reasons and I will list out all the reasons I can remember

1)Throughout the ENTIRE series he bullies Neville and Harry and Ron and a whole bunch of other people. yeah he did good things but he also took pleasure from abusing his power as a teacher to torment children to the point where he was Neville's greatest fear and not the woman who tortured his parents into insanity.

2)Also joined the wizard nazis and would have stayed in the wizard nazis if it didn’t impact him specifically aka he became a death eater and was in voldy's most inner circle of trust and only came to dumbledore when lily was being threatened. he didn’t care about James or harry or anyone else

3)he had an unhealthy obsession with lily even after she became a wife and a mother like….Please excuse me while I walk over your husband's corpse like he's nothing and upon entering the room, ignore your traumatised child in his crib and instead clutch your lifeless body in a demonstration of my love for you: creepy and entirely unhelpful.yeah he loved Lily except no he really didn't he loved what he thought she was and then proceeded to call her a really disgusting slur and expected everything to be fine

4)After he mocks Hermione’s teeth she permanently changes them.this man thinks that mocking a teenage girl about how she looks is okay. like snivley first wash your own hair please.

5)If the prophecy had been about Neville, snape would still be a death eater. It’s not like he saw anything wrong with it. It’s just that he saw it would badly affect the woman he was obsessed with.

6)Also he left her (lilly) alone when she might have required her help, remember the prophecy said " a boy whose parents faced voldemort 3 times" Snape did not help Lily those 3 times, it was only when her death was his fault when he decided to do something.

7)Snape protected Harry through the years but it was only to satisfy his guilt about Lily.

8) Snape made Lupin's potion every month and that's great but he also didn't make any moves to help him keep the only stable job he's really had

And don't try to sell the crap that Snape was cruel and abusive to Harry because he blamed himself for Lily's death and Harry was a constant reminder of his guilt. because he had LiLly'S eYeS.

But people do not listen so ; you know who else blamed himself for the Potters' deaths and also was constantly reminded of them by Harry, and yet didn't abuse him because of his guilt?

Drum roll please

Sirius Orion Black.

And also to remind you Sirius was also abused and was also a bright student yet he did NOT bully people! (Okay he did bully people in school that was part of his character development; but he did not bully the people he was 'protecting ' he acctually helped them and accepted them)

Oh and before you drag James Potter into this. We don't know if James was completely wrong. Come on, everyone has enemies ( I am not justifying bullying ) besides the only memory we judge James Potter of is his rival's and that is not fair .

The memories he -snape chose to show Harry were a tactical decision- he gave him the information that was only enough to understand the mission, and enough back story to convince him that he was telling the truth. There was no time or reason to get into seven years’ worth of rivalry. it would just make it harder for Harry to trust him. But that doesn’t mean that Snape didn’t give as good as he got. There’s literally no evidence that James was a relentless bully and Snape was an innocent victim.

It's funny that everyone puts Snape up on this pedestal and hates Draco Malfoy. Like Malfoy did some bad things but he wasn't a grown ass man angry because he got friend zone by a woman that he was obsessed with.

people give snape so much pity and love after what he did in the last book but I do not and the reasons are given above you can always believe what u want to and even try to make me understand why severus is SUCH a great person.. all I have to say is that It’s okay to like Snape as a character, because he’s really well interesting and complex. It’s NOT okay to like Snape as a person, because he was seriously messed up.

A lot of people say that Annabeth wouldn’t be in Ravenclaw because people only put her there because she’s smart. I disagree tho, the reason Hermione was in Gryffindor was because she values bravery more than she values wisdom. In my interpretations of the books Annabeth values wisdom the most which is why she would be in Ravenclaw. Slytherin makes a lot of sense too because of her pride and her ambition, so in conclusion Annabeth is in Slytherclaw.

Sorting Hat Chats: Heroes of Olympus

I did not write this, this is an original from @sortinghatchats. I found it on the wayback machine like two years ago and have had it saved in my notes. So this is my contribution to y'all's recovery efforts! Not sure whether to give credit to Inky or Kaden, let me know :)

OK, so I sometimes give speeches on long road trips about the Slytherinness of Percy Jackson. THAT KID. His fatal flaw is canonically that, forced to choose between the world and his friends, he would choose his friends. Slytherin Primary, all the way. Kid’s almost running around waving a banner with his hair dyed silver and green.

He’s also a Slytherin Secondary. Yeah, I know, the kid’s loud and coarse and a bit of a bro (he is. I love him, but he is). But Percy thinks rapidly on his feet, adapts to dangers by snapping up whatever weapon (physical, godly, mental, emotional) is nearest at hand, and is shamelessly, easily comfortable with using others for his own gain.

When the chips are down, the only thing he cares about are his inner circle: Annabeth, his mom, and sometimes Grover and Tyson. He’s content to use and sometimes destroy useful bystanders like Nico and “Bob,” to keep his people safe. He may like Nico and Bob, even empathize if someone like Annabeth isn’t in immediate danger, but at the end of the day he would (and does) trade their happinesses and safety for their utility.

But Percy doesn’t look like a traditional Slytherin/Slytherin. The boy is not smooth. The kid is not slipping around corners and cleverly avoid ruffling feathers while he steals his victories out from other peoples’ pockets. Percy lives almost always in his neutral state— this is something we talk about more deeply in our Slytherin Secondary post. But the neutral state is when a Slytherin isn’t using the code-switching and ease that is inherent to this secondary. Most Slytherin Secondaries only do this at home, when they are safe, relaxed, and in the company of only their most trusted people. It is literally dropping your guard. And Percy leaves his emotional guard hanging pretty much all the time; he’s bluntly and rather uncouthly on his sleeve. But the moment physical danger sets in, he goes full torpedoes ahead with a guile that is rough-edged but certainly present.

I’ll sort the rest of the Seven, Nico, and Reyna under the cut, hopefully with a little less verbiage. Slight spoilers forBlood of Olympus, but I did try to be a vague as possible.

Annabeth, my brash, bright, idealist darling, whose greatest desire is to rebuild a broken world anew, and whose fatal flaw is hubris and pride, is a Ravenclaw Primary. She is right, certain, and willing to sacrifice herself for the things she values. Clever, studious, prepared, she’s also a Ravenclaw Secondary.

Piper literally has the Slytherin Secondary as a superpower. Now, her charmspeak wouldn’t actually have any effect on her actual Secondary (your skills don’t matter as much as the methods you want, or respect in tactics). But Piper uses her charmspeak like her lungs by the end of the series, and even in flashbacks we find her conning people into giving her cars.

She House shares with Percy, actually: Slytherin/Slytherin, though she has a Hufflepuff Performance where Percy just… doesn’t… bother. Piper’s Slytherin Primary is most apparent in her dedication to her friends, and her decision over the course of The Lost Hero to sacrifice even them to save her father (a decision I’m not sure she’d make by the end of the series, when she’d bonded further to them).

Jason is a Hufflepuff Primary raised in a world of Gryffindors—so, yeah, the kid looks really Gryffindor. But he learns to shuffle off the righteousness and rigidity of Roman life, and to embrace his own quieter service, empathy, and thoughtfulness for not only his crew, friends, and two camps, but also each of the forgotten gods. He’s at his most comfortable with a community to call his own that doesn’t demand his Heroism, and cause to dedicate his life to that involves serving and supporting people, not fighting for or leading them.

His Secondary is Gryffindor—he earnestly and honestly charges his problems (his straight forward attempts to reassure Nico during the Cupid thing; the honesty and integrity Piper appreciates in him). Because his internal drive and motivations aren’t Gryffindor, he doesn’t look that obvious— his goals are often things like keeping the peace aboard ship, making sure everyone else has the things they need, and getting knocked out during fights.

Leo reads a bit like a Slytherin, but i think he’s just a burned Puff Primary. Clearly a loyalist House, he’s guarded and sarcastic, bitter and a bit jaded, and doesn’t throw himself out with sacrifice and service the way Puffs like Jason might. He builds little communities, and big dragons. But while he likes Piper and Jason, or Hazel, his bonds aren’t anywhere near the intensity of true Slytherin Primaries like Piper or Percy. This suggests what he actually is is a burned Puff, a Hufflepuff Primary who’s been hurt enough that they keep their warmth close. When Leo does make decisions around people, it tends to be need-based rather than value-based— he’ll give up some of the people he loves because someone else who he loves, someone lonely and left *cough*, needs him more.

Ravenclaw Secondary for the kid, of course. Leo Valdez, my tiny engineer friend, you tinker on.

Hazel’s got a lot of layered-on traumas, losses, guilts, and misplacements that make her a little hard to sort*— her curse, her first death and her almost bringing Gaea’s apocalypse about early, her rebirth in a century not her own. But as she becomes more comfortable and confident throughout the second series, she begins to fall into a validating system of action, justice, and bravery. Her morality seems to be felt, and she is most at home with her weapon in hand, on Arion’s back, charging a clear foe with a clear conscience—she read, to me, like a Gryffindor who has stubbornly pulled herself out of a “stripped” state, with the help of some big hearts like Frank and Jason.

(*Note: traumas do not make you less of your own House, or even less obvious of a House, exactly. What I mean here is that it’s harder to Sort someone burned as much as Hazel has been from the outside. Hazel’s got so much jammed inside of her, and even her POV is secretive enough in the first book, that she’s not obvious until she relaxes and confides in the reader a little more).

Frank, dear Frank, with his willingness to burn himself out (literally) on Alaska’s icy plain, is a warm and solid Gryffindor Primary. That wasn’t about who needed him or who he loved; it was about right and wrong, and he was going to do right or die trying. A kind and worried rule follower, he seems to have Hufflepuff Secondary he feels like he should suppress. The Roman Legion is very much a Gryffindor-present-or-go-home kind of space— both Frank and Jason put on Gryffindor Models to fit in and feel at home. But where Jason is secretly a warm ball of Hufflepuff Primary, Frank actually is a Gryffindor Primary. The problem is, he doesn’t think his Gryffindor, his honestly strong and staunch sense of right and noble sacrifice, is good enough. So he models a more “brave” Gryffindor on top. Frank’s ascension to praetor, as Jason gives it up, was a beautiful step in both their journeys.

Reyna’s Hufflepuff Secondary manifests itself in her dedication to doing things right, her (if stiff) kindness, her strength-sharing powers, and the care and emotion that earn her Pegasus’s honor. It’s her Gryffindor Primary, however, that earns her Athena’s respect—her refusal to stand down and her dedication.

Nico di Angelo is a stunning Hufflepuff Primary. He loses his time, his world, his sister, any sense of safety at the camps of in his “friends,” any sense of home but perhaps a squat beside the River Styx— and when the world needs him, Nico doesn’t even think twice before running himself ragged trying to shut the doors of Death and defy Gaea. He’s not even part of the prophecy. He’s not liked, respected, or even wanted by almost anyone. But he shows up. He does what he can. He disappears without any expectation of respect, gratitude, or care. Thank goodness for people like Hazel, Frank, Jason, and Will.

Nico’s not even quite a burned Puff. He doesn’t build himself a community (except for arguably Hazel), but he still takes it on himself to save and serve the world.

It’s his secondary, more than his primary I think, that takes the brunt of his losses. He might have been a very young Ravenclaw secondary (cards! stats!) in his first appearance, and no matter how “dark” demigod he might be, the boy’s no Slytherin Secondary, but what his secondary actually is is rather unclear. He’s been beaten, stripped, and disillusioned. No tools feel comfortable in his hands. He’ll do whatever he has to do get the job done, and he doesn’t like any of it. The blossoming way he responds to Reyna and Hedge’s companionship, mutual respect, and affection however suggests he might be growing into a Hufflepuff Secondary once he finds a place or hearts safe enough to lay down roots.

(I hope so. Kid needs a break).

tl;dr

Percy and Piper are both Slytherin/Slytherins– deeply, sometimes destructively loyal, and masters of thinking quick and sideways on their feet.

Annabeth is the sole Ravenclaw Primary. She shares a Ravenclaw Secondary with Leo, who’s a burned Puff.

Frank, Reyna and Hazel are all Gryffindor Primaries, with Jason the odd Hufflepuff out. Frank and Reyna have Puff secondaries they try to cover up with Gryffindor models (hello Rome), while Hazel and Jason both have Gryffindor’s charging Secondary. They’re both most at ease facing their problems head on and with honest integrity.

Nico is a Hufflepuff, burned in terms of letting himself have nice things, but not burned in terms of feeling like he needs to save the world, even if it keeps spitting on him.

It’s been on my mind since yesterday…Interesting how there wasn’t really a successful Tom casting in the entire HP movie series…so because no one asked and I ran out of weed I’m going to compare them all.

Here we go. I just recently reread all the books; I wish they had included more of Tom in general because he’s a very important comparison piece for Harry to grapple with. That’s kind of the point of him…he’s the other side to Harry’s coin.

There’s a lot of Tom scenes missing, especially with Ginny, Slughorn, and a few other characters like Hepzibah, that didn’t even make it into the films where we really get a good image of how…pretty he was and how much that added to his manipulative tactics.

1: I’ll never not adore Christian Coulson in the roll but it’s true he was too old (23 when filming CoS) and therefore there was no hope of him coming back…BUT!!!!! the scene where he visits Hepzibah when he’s in his 20’s is something we were robbed of. Something Christian Coulson could have left us reeling from. But nope. They never filmed it. Here’s an image someone made along with a partial missing scene from HBP. And there’s plenty more where that came.

Hero Fiennes was a cute creepy kid but flat toned and that’s okay because he was a baby. I think it was 10/10 to use Ralph Feinnes’ nephew, very cute. He looks the part.

Then there was Frank Dillane who reminded everyone of The Omen and was just so creepy and wonderful…but didn’t look the part. They gave him a bad haircut and shot him on a lens that made his face look…wide. But his performance was utterly chilling and my absolute favorite out of the three young Toms. The way his words are silky and inviting yet sinister making you wonder why you’re uncomfortable…ugh he was so good. I wish so much they’d have styled him better because he’s not a bad looking kid.

Also…Ralph Fiennes circa ‘92. Like come on…That’s all I’m saying. There was a very clear guideline to his looks.

Okay! That’s my speech. Thank you all.

HBO…please PLEASE don’t waste this character.
