The more I think about it the more I'm confused about Snape's so called "redemption arc".
We don't know much about his years at Hogwarts outside of the time James hanged him from his underwear and he called Lily a Mudblood, but we know that:
1. He had a disdain for Muggles ever since he was born or at least ever since he was 10 y/o bc that's when he meets Lily and Petunia and treats the latter like garbage.
2. He was friends with Mulciber and Avery- known death eaters, especially Mulciber who we know was particularly close with Baldy due to the time he came to Hogsmede with him for his job interview with dummydore.
From that we can assume that he was a witness and a participant in A Lot of hate crimes against Muggle Borns ever since he was a minor. One of which was the time Mary was the victim.
3. We know HE invented the spell James used to hang him from his panties, which must mean that he used it against others, probably muggle borns, and his DE friends must've used it as well.
4. We know he invented the spell Sectumsempra to use against his enemies?? (Sorry it's been a while since I read the books I don't remember the exact quote.) and his enemies are almost certainly the Marauders. Also maybe his dad but that's a discussion for another day.
5. We know he was one of Baldy's dearest death eaters, even tho he was a Half-Blood with no status and no connections, which means he definitely did a lot of horrific things to Muggles and Muggle borns and the members of the Order of Phoenix.
6. We know he heard Trelawney's prophesy after eavesdropping in a bar, and immediately ran to Baldy with it. He knew that by telling Baldy about the prophecy an innocent baby will be killed, and he didn't give a shit. I cannot stress enough how much that information in vital for his character. Taking a baby's life so that Baldy might give him a sit closer to him by the table. And nothing would've happened to him if he shut his mouth and didn't go to Baldy. He didn't have his life or even his status\loyalty on the line. He just sacrificed this anonymous innocent baby for kicks and giggles.
7. The only point in which he cared about his actions was when Lily's life was on the line. This wanker really didn't care that he just gave Baldy (a man who made it his life' mission to kill Lily and the likes of her) a reason to kill Lily's son and husband, who were practically her only source of joy while she fought against his people in the war. He just wanted the girl he slurred and stalked and mistreated in high-school to live with all her friends and family dead. And thought he was doing something good. I don't even know how to begin to describe how fucked up that is.
8. He went to Dummydore and asked him to save her. After he got her, her husband and her kid to be under an even worse constant death threat than they were before because of Lily's blood status and their participant in the order. And after he spent the last 3-4 years killing Lily’s friends and the people who share her blood status.
9. That was also the point in which he offered himself to be a double spy right?? Again real heroic of him to risk his life after all the shit he did because he was in love with a girl whose life he ruined. He never cared about all the shit he did and all the people he murdered and he never actually wanted to help innocent people or do good by the world or even by Lily.
10. After Baldy died for the first time and the first war ended, Harry had nobody left, and Dummydore put him with Petunia and Vernon. Snape knew better than anyone else what the Dursleys will do to Harry. He knew everything, and he didn't do shit. Not only did he not do shit, but he also made things worse for Harry by bullying and harassing him since the moment he stepped foot in the castle.
11. Extending on the last point- Snape bullied, harassed, abused, mistreated and discriminated against students at Hogwarts ever since he started teaching there, I'm not gonna start elaborating on all the times he did those things because that would take a different essay of similar length.
12. Yeah I don't really know what to add here? That's pretty much it I think.
So to conclude: am I really expected to forgive him because he loved Lily and had a hard time with James when they were 16 and he spied for Dummydore for a bit?? Being a looser in middle school and then becoming a double spy doesn’t make up for… anything. Especially since he never stopped being a terrible person.

Fanon James Potter
Ok I need to say this, anyone who loves the Fanon James Potter needs to stop defending the canon one.
Some fanfictions are pieces of art, well written and with interesting plots, but they distort some characters. If you like Fanon James ok, but he's not the canon one.
James in canon was an arrogant bully, that's the truth. We can talk about whether he changed or not (Spoiler, he hasn't changed, he's just dead) but using non-canon facts to cleaning up canon James is ridiculous.

If you think about it Snape's memories of James Potter are probably not very accurate. I mean it had been over 15 years and when you really hate someone or your really angry about something you can sometimes miss remember things. So for all we know the memories could have been exaggerated.

friendly reminder that being a regulus stan ≠ being a snape stan
regulus died at 18 fighting against everything he knew
snape lived to his thirties and spent his adulthood bullying children (among other things)
to quote sirius, “my idiot brother, soft enough to believe them… that’s him.” we know sirius, and he wouldn’t have talked like that if regulus had been some git like snape or avery

People always have a bad reaction when I say I don’t like Peter I wonder how they would react if I told them I don’t really like an other member of the marauders😭😬

It was James who had an ego the size of a lake but a heart to match it. ⭐️

James “I spend my day doing things for others. I like to be around people but my social battery runs out. I get told I talk too much but I just have so much to say. I’m so stressed it feels like i’m drowning. I want love but I don’t know how. I’ve always been straight but everybody is attractive so where does that leave me? There’s too much going on and I want to focus on everything or one thing but I can’t. I was to stay up late but I want to wake up early so does that mean I just don’t sleep? I fall in love with everyone I meet, just a little bit. Even if they walk past part of me makes a future with them.” Potter.

It's the way that 'Stan James Potter' fans are part of the reason why the Marauders fandom is toxic. You are allowed to dislike characters like Severus Snape, but when you comment on a post about him with 'Stan James' it's rude. The content is for Snape fans, not for people to start harassing Snape fans. Y'all will bully people simply because of fictional characters. There is etiquette within the fandom that you should follow and if you can't respect each other then you shouldn't participate in the fandom.
Also, to the 'Stan Severus snape' fans that have arisen because of these people, please don't stoop to their level. Let them be. They want attention. They want to make people angry.
Let people like what they like, instead of making the fandom hostile.

It's crazy how many "Stan James Potter" comments I see under Snape posts. For hating him they sure do like to interact with content about him. Even more than Snape fans. Sounds a lot like an obsession, wouldn't you agree?

ok soo i have two versions of james potter and i just want to share them.
the first one is how james is in just lovers (or any other zars fic) and the second is just james being rich, smart, egoistic fucker. he cares so much about his friends, but not in that mom friend way. hes also mean and he loves when people love him and put their attention only on him. part of the reason why is because he had created image of himself and doesn’t realize that hes changed and once he realizes it he refuses to accept it. he doesn’t want to have problems because he doesn’t want to deal with them. hes a bit toxic and hes perfect with regulus. also he knows so many random facts and nobody knows where he learns them. hes also verz unhinged.
its kinda hard to explain but i hope it make sense
