Imagine being Harry Potter and almost killing a guy you find slightly annoying in a bathroom and suddenly your most hated teacher barges in and STARTS SINGING
When you realize Neville was seen as a joke by all the teachers except Pomfrey and that he flourishes when Harry is teaching him because Harry is proud of him and never let Neville let his insecurity (ingrained on him by his grandmother and the teachers) get to him
Harry Potter the only series where the protagonist is not allowed to be his own person "aaaah he's James, he's Lily, he's Regulus, he's Remus, he's Sirius" damn how about he's Harry Potter
It's interesting that while James & Sirius say Severus is unwashed/dirty/greasy, Harry's adjectives for teen Sev is "like a plant kept in the dark" and "severy lacked the look of someone well-cared for". Again, neglect recognizes neglect.
Be serious do you think Voldemort was mad when Snape, also clearly a genocidal fascist (on Voldemort's mind, at least), got the potions teacher job at 21 when Voldemort was told he was "too young to be a teacher" and then "too much of a genocidal fascist" later on
Why are you acting like Hermione ended the series like a woman in a shounen anime wearing an apron and cleaning the house and not as a highly accomplished and respected elected minister
In the same manner, I feel terribly for canon Hermione too because I can't believe her ending was just so sad. Sure she was a mom and a wife, but she was so much more than that you know. Canon Hermione as a kid had so much in her, she was not smart for nothing,
Harry's canonically an ally btw never forget he was fully in support of Dumbledore's gay ass and even grindeldore once he moved past the whole wizard allegory for Hitler thing
To be master of death is to accept it as an old friend. Going with that, it's no wonder that men like Grindelwald or Voldemort, who wanted eternal glory, couldn't. Or why men like Albus and Snape, who saw the death of someone as their eternal penance, also would never be able to.
Harry is extremely kind and full of love and gentle and empathetic and his soul is the color of gold he's also angry and petty and has no patience for whiny people
Harry shipping has rooted people's brains... when you all stop seeing him in the lenses of how he should act based on who you ship him with then you would See
People need to wake up and realize Harry is a lil' Sherlock Holmes he's a lil' detective he's been solving mysteries since he was 11 and he's incredible at deductions and his memory is scarily good
The only Marauder that felt uncomfortable by it was Remus himself but he would Never Speak on It. People want the Marauders to be this tight unit but the fact is that it was two popular friends and their lesser sidekicks, Remus didn't feel comfortable enough to say anything lol
“And under here, Hedwig” — Harry pulled open a door under the stairs — “is where I used to sleep! You never knew me then — Blimey, it’s small, I’d forgotten. . . .”
ATYD had to turn Snape in a pureblood racist even though it goes against everything we know about the character (contracting the book named after him) to show the Marauders in a good light, so I'm not entering a discussion about him with someone who praises it
Okay last tweet for now but I remembered it's implied no one in the books is like Harry. No one is as forgiving. No one has that much capacity for love. No one is that good. Possessing Harry almost destroyed Voldemort because of the strength of his soul. He's truly one of a kind.
Harry saying both kid Tom and kid Snape have the appearance of someone who grew up unloved... oh honey you recognize what you see in the mirror don't you
Regulus is a quidditch seeker who had a photo of his team on his bedroom next to some pinterest terrorist moodboard and his family crest that he made by hand (like the sign on his door) like you can make him a quidditch professional player or an artist
Harry is such a difficult character to ship with someone to like I love my baby but if you're going to date him be aware you'll be the one doing all the work on the romantic/emotional side of the relationship because that boy is repressed as all hell
The HP fandom history with JK is sad overall but that person who wrote that letter back in 2004 to JK thanking her for Tonks because they viewed themselves in her as a nonbinary person only for Tonks to become a housewive being called "Dora" by Remus in DH never fails to hurt me
Guys let's not hate Remus John Lupin let's all appreciate his gentle and kind facade that hides such self hatred, cowardice and predisposition for violence inside 🙏❤️
Am I the only one extremely uncomfortable by the use of very real child photos to make a "this is how he looked when he was sexually assaulted 🥺" tiktok? Like ... can we not?
My problem with a certain Harry ship that I'll be not naming is that the fandom fails to understand Harry as a character so badly he turns into this Perfect Top Ideal that's obsessed with their Favorite Depressed Twink
The occlumency lessons were always going to flop, true, but I like the theory that they did so extraordinarily because Snape is a natural occlumens and he can't, for the life of him, explain how he does it
Tom Riddle @ Sirius Black: If you're going try to kill a student you dislike by setting a violent creature on them on your 5th year then you should at least be competent enough to get the job done, loser
Love that it's implied that it's somehow Lily's fault that *James* tried to take Voldemort down without his wand like 😭 that's on HIM alone and all because he didn't think he would need his wand on his own house that he thought was being protected by one of his best friends
this is so fascinating…. like first of all regulus died before harry was born… but also this implies that the cave thing was like. a necessary event.. and it wasn’t. like, regulus going in there and replacing the locket wasn’t helpful or necessary it was just a thing he did
The muffliato spell Snape invented being crucial in the golden trio year on the run AND expelliarmus, the spell Snape taught them in second year becoming Harry's signature spell and what he uses in the final fight against Voldemort... oh I'm emotional
Harry may not act like a neglected kid (I really disagree lmao esp in the first books but alas I know it's a known criticism) but he for sure had a knack for descripting, recognizing and sympathizing with neglected kids/teens he sees in the series.
Draco Malfoy did not only spend an entire night coming up with crown shaped pins with "Weasley Is Our King" engraved, he also made an ENTIRE SONG about how Ronald Weasley is the Slytherin's king lmao honey if you want to hide your crush on a guy this is NOT the way to do it
I actually do think it's funny that Snape isn't really hated for what he did in canon (since those people don't really give a fuck about canon) or because he's ugly (Reg is canonically ugly too), but because he's evidence that their fav boy band was just a bunch of bullies
This conversation was ridiculous sorry
Sirius: James changed, that's why Lily started going out with him!
Harry: Did he stop bullying Snape?
Sirius: Well, no
Harry: How my mother felt about that?
Sirius: Well, she didn't know
?????? 😭😭😭😭😭
Thinking about how the prank was the first step for Snape to look for safety in the DEs when he realized Hogwarts would never provide him with that, and then Snape's Worst Memory was the nail in the coffin, when he swore he would never be humiliated again
The books being from Harry's view make Snape look like this awful petty cunt (because he is) but he must've been incredible charming because there's no fucking way he managed to be Lucius
#1
boy then Albus
#1
spy and Voldemort
#1
follower if he was just a pathetic ugly fuck
God when I remember Voldemort created an entire story in his head on how Merope and Tom Riddle Sr. relationship went and he made his mother be the victim ... oh boy you have no idea huh
Also it's so easy for bullies to grow up and become better people with their happy lives and their "I was such an asshole back then" meanwhile bullied kids have to live with the trauma and the hatred that never leave us and people saying we are wrong for holding on to our grudges
Just remembered Ron's fear of spiders came from the fact that Fred charmed his teddy bear that he used to cuddle to sleep to turn into a big ass spider
Sirius was such a funny loser like what do you mean you thought it was funny to try to use your werewolf friend to scare Snape and still found it iconic 13 years later but the moment Snape calls you a coward you spend two entire weeks depressed lmao
No but really can you imagine living so far below the poverty line to the point your clothes are borrowed from your mother and you go to Hogwarts and get sorted into the house of the filthy rich purebloods
Going to be extra annoying but the reason why Lupin walks around with chocolate in PoA is because it is a known remedy for dementors attack ... Poppy give everyone a big ass hot chocolate mug/chocolate bar at the ending (i don't remember what it was)
I miss the old school (by today's standards) HP fandom so much tho ... like yeah girl tell me how Neville, Ginny and Luna are gardening together and kissing under the full moon or how Pansy is an iconic mean girl
Everyone knows Percy should've been in Slytherin like ambition drive his character foward + it would make sense he's the one that's at odds with his family as he doesn't understand how come they value loyalty more than security
That there's only two people who call Snape "Severus" in the books, and one is Dumbledore and the other REMUS is so 😭 .... I know Snape wanted to punch him everytime he used his name
Just remembered that Umbridge tried to make Snape uncomfortable by hinting at his DE past but he went "Speak clearly girl" and she backed out in fear lmao
"I hate Snape because he was a death eater until Lily was in danger" what about your other fave being a devoted death eater until Kreacher was in danger
“nothing to with looks!”
also them : a 9y old socially awkward kid finding courage to interact with another kid = omg creepy
ya’ll don’t wanna admit it, but ya’ll would’ve dragged sev to hell if he doodled “L.E” on a snitch… but because it’s your fav, the standards are diff
Snape wearing his mother's clothes is so important... sure it is a sign of his impoverishment but also on which parent he admires the most and molds himself after... and considering this series obsession with fathers, it's cute to see someone that cares more about his mother
Harry is going "Riddle, Snape and me, the lost boys who found a home at Hogwarts" by the end is a great example on how empathetic my son is but I can't help but think Snape would go "Me?????? Take my name off this right now"
"I hate Dumbledore because he manipulated children to fight in a war!"
1) You were the ones that decided everyone in the order was a recently graduated Hogwarts student
2) If your faves have to be manipulated into fighting a genocidal fascist that's on them I think
No one cares about the Marauders canon dynamic, but I do 😔 I love how it was messy and slowly but surely destroyed them from within, and you can feel that there was love there like.... damn they were teenagers
Thinking about young Tom Riddle, age 11, all alone, discovering the magical world.... with enough money just for the essential and no one to explain him stuff
Snape being canonically (before Draco) the most innocent of the DEs to the point people would comment on his "spineless cowardly" behavior... he's so cute
Lily being taller than Snape during their childhood, making jokes about how he was her little tiny baby boy until Snape got a massive growth spurt between the third and fourth year and it annoyed the fuck out of her
Tom and Snape
- Both halfbloods with a muggle father witch mother
- Both born from a witch that was cut from the wizarding world
- Both slytherins with pureblood friends
- Both geniuses
- Both ashamed of their upbringing
- Both writing their silly things on their silly books
When Snape took his time to reminder Harry about how the Marauders ganged up on him 4 on 1 except he had just pushed Dumbledore down the stairs like dude... I think Harry doesn't care about you being bullied by his daddy anymore
Severus Snape wanting to go to Slytherin because that's the house is mother was at and speaking of it with pride and innocence without knowing about the house's prejudice and how he would be perceived by wanting to go to Slytherin I
Harry’s sixteenth birthday celebrations were marred by grisly tidings brought to the party by Remus Lupin, who was looking gaunt and grim, his brown hair streaked liberally with gray, his clothes more ragged and patched than ever.
Severus "Snivellus" Snape who cries and curses and stutters and can't finish a thought when he feels mad and humiliated and Lily Evans whose fury burns so cold her eyes turns into ice when she stares at you and makes you feel like the worst person alive
Today I was thinking that if somehow Tom did manage to get that DADA job during the marauders era there was no way he wouldn't have converted half the school into sympathizers (Marauders included)
The world of liking Tom Riddle/Voldemort not in a "He's so sexy and evil and monstrous" way but in a "He's so desperate and chaotic and hungry for love" way is a lonely road
Sirius being a kind soft lovable sacrificing person to those he love and they turning into Megahatetron 2000 towards those he consider unworthy is such a humanizing AND interesting character trait
