I think that this is for two slight differences:<br /><br />1) Neville, Snape is horrible to Neville without a doubt, however I think it must be considered that <br />- Potions is a dangerous subject, and Neville nearly kills everyone every lesson. He probably thought it better that Neville feared him so much that he did well, rather than killing everyone in the classroom. Furthermore I can also see why a student who gives you a heart attack every lesson might be your least favourite member of the class.<br />- Snape is an unpleasant person who values his own intelligence highly. He is a potions MASTER and yet he is forced to teach potions to a bungling student who he sees as undeserving.<br />- Harry Potter Wikia states,"It is possible Snape hated Neville so much because if Voldemort had chosen to go after him rather than Harry, Lily would still be alive."<br /><br />2) Nice to snakey racists:<br />- He's undercover, Dumbledore and Snape both acknowledge that Voldermort is coming back, Snape needs to keep his cover and appear to favour the pureblooded racists.<br />- Their father's are Snapes school friends, they are his housemates, Snape isn't about to lose the few allies he has on this earth by picking on the likes of Draco Malfoy<br />- Their fathers are powerful and rich, again Snape is a poor halfblood, he requires these connections. Furthermore people like Lucius are on the board of Governors, I'd wager other Slytherin's parents are too, I know kids in my school who get away with things because their parents are on the board.<br />- Children such as the likes of Draco are basically mini spies, feeding back to their death eater daddies about what 'The Spy' is up to. Draco's childish cry of "my father will hear about this" has become a mockable meme, but really it would have been a serious threat considering that his father was a known mass murder, member of a terrorist organisation and had paid off the entire wizarding justice system. One wrong move in the Potions Class room and Snape finds his life on the line at the next deatheater meeting<br />- Head of Slytherin, maybe he just wants to win the house cup, I mean he is pretty proud, or maybe he actually wants to show a group of stereotyped individuals that someone is fighting their corner? Yes we all know the trope "Yes all the bad guys are in Slytherin, but not all Slytherins are bad guys" well it is true. I mean I hated that bit in the film DH pt2 when McGonagall was like 'escort slytherin house to the dungeon' or thereabouts. That wasn't in the book I don't think, it's simply that that is the general opinion of where Slytherin house belong. I mean they're KIDS, and you're making out like they're all black to the bone, I mean even Draco was redeemable when push came to shove so let's not blacklist a quarter of the population thanks. (I'm a Gryffindor btw, so this comes from my misguided heart rather than deep rooted bias) I'm getting off track, but my point is that Snape's own issues in childhood stem slightly from the fact that the teachers favoured and believed the marauders over Snape. Why? I mean why would a poor, unpopular, halfblood of any level of intelligence (let alone a sly, intelligent slytherin), pick a fight with the most popular boys in school? Any teacher worth their salt would know that he didn't, but they believed the Marauders because they were Gryffindors, they were more likeable etc... Snape is going to want to make sure that for once Slytherins have a voice (slughorn didn't count, he favoured the talented and rich) even if that means showing open bias to them and openly hating on the other houses. In the end, one teacher openly fighting for slytherin whilst the other discreetly hate on it evens itself out in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-58765776135686036322017-05-18T03:21:23.711-05:002017-05-18T03:21:23.711-05:00You can enjoy wonderful erotic massage in Prague h...You can enjoy wonderful erotic massage in Prague here https://eroticmassagepraha.cz/en/ can strongly recomendPevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992169640148611586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-62025186366033762552016-09-27T20:54:07.534-05:002016-09-27T20:54:07.534-05:00When choosing the http://www.faucetsmarket.com/bat...When choosing the <a href="http://www.faucetsmarket.com/bathroom-accessory-c-4.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.faucetsmarket.com/bathroom-accessory-c-4.html</a> , one should shop around before purchasing a specific item.

How would he have convinced Voldemort that he was still on the dark side, if he had been nice to the very child who killed his 'master'? And if he mistreated Draco in any way, then Lucius would not have hesitated to throw him under the bus, resulting in his death, and therefore, Voldemort's survivalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-17417425784519292622015-03-14T08:57:37.602-05:002015-03-14T08:57:37.602-05:00Very nice analysis.

I think in Volume 6 and 7, he understood many things, but he has not had time to implement them. I think he deserved to have a chance to apply them. Especially in Love, Lily did not like him, it tells us that Lily had started smiling at the humiliation aboard the lake. this isn't the behavior of a lover. In "prince tale" DH and we realize that lily prefers to believe Gryffindor in the history of the Shrieking Shack than Severus, her best friends. <br />Lily had a crush on James pretty quickly, but as he had unhealthy behavior, she wouldn't do to him pleasures. I prefer relationship between albus and Severus. Albus has used him at first, but I am convinced that with time they learned to appreciate and respect. albus asked severus to kill and I think Albus will not have chosen anyone. it is an alliance between the most Slytherin of Gryffindor with the most Gryffindor of Slytherin. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-13952677788623622342015-03-04T21:19:49.196-06:002015-03-04T21:19:49.196-06:00hop online for thousands of Taps, sinks, bathroom,...hop online for thousands of Taps, sinks, bathroom, kitchen and shower <br /><br />fixtures.

I just finished four months of reading aloud the entire HP series with my ten-year-old son, and we appreciated the way Rowling crafted the character of Snape.

How can somebody say that he was selfish when he actually agreed to do ANYTHING so that Lily stays alive along with her husband and son? You sell yourself out (even if it’s for the good cause) without getting anything in return! Is this selfishness? Moreover after Lily’s death, he had no legal obligation, maybe moral obligation, in trying to keep Harry Potter safe. He chooses to protect her son, even though it is painful for him to watch him because all of his misery is revived: Harry’s resemblance to his father, Harry’s same personality as his father’s (in Snape’s eyes, which I almost disagree with him), his worst memories and mistakes which are being brought to life. Because he has this debt to Lily, he knows this is the only way he could respect her love and her being.<br />Was he cruel? Yes, he was. Was he bitter because he felt so or because he was a double agent? In my opinion, both are correct. He was hurt; there was no joy for him left than Lily’s memory. Does this excuse his attitude towards pupils? Not really, but we need to remember he had to play a convincing part.<br />When it comes to his soul, many say that he is a murderer while he was a DE, but again how come he asks Dumbledore what would happen to his soul if he killed him? Therefore, following a logical thinking, he never killed anybody else because he never participated in any raids (with the exception of the 7 Potters raid), as he was just a spy for Voldemort. When somebody commits murder, the soul gets harmed? What about Molly’s soul then?<br />I so much love this character with all his flaws and his unconditional love! He is the reason I watch/ read Harry Potter. He always amazes me and makes me cry of his sad sorrow. He is like every human being who desperately needed love, attention, appreciation and understanding. How can somebody ask from him to be fair and lovely when his life was unfair?<br />Milenahttps://www.facebook.com/milena.ungureanunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-7046745132388491642014-11-03T09:34:24.376-06:002014-11-03T09:34:24.376-06:00Dear Eliza, I cannot tell you how much I have want...Dear Eliza, I cannot tell you how much I have wanted to find such an accurate defense on Snape until I found yours. You simply said everything that was on my mind about this beautiful character. I am so happy that I could find such an in detail defense on this man starting with the beginning and trying to resolve the puzzle of his life actions and emotions. <br />We learn from early age that his mother, who had been in Slytherin during her school years, never took care of him, never showed him what was good and what was evil. I am not saying that all Slytherin mothers do not teach their children right, but Snape’s mom did not. This boy was so neglected that he found refuge in her old books, instead of her arms. This is why at the age of eleven, he was so advanced in magic. <br />Because of their status, poverty and social marginalization, Snape lacked social skills, encountered issues when expressing his own feelings and had no quality friends, beside Lily. Maybe if he would have told Lily about his feelings towards her, everything would have been different. As a child who does not have emotional support from his family or relatives, he gets very insecure, vulnerable, dependent and desperate to be a part of something bigger, protective, and impressive. Therefore, the only group he finds strength, support, appreciation and acceptance from is the future Death Eaters’. Imagine what would have happened if Snape had the Weasley family or a godfather like Sirius (the adult, not the teenager) around? Would have he ever turned so bitter after all? <br />As he grows older, I think he sees himself inferior to James, without realizing that what Lily is looking for in a friend (or even more, if we want to speculate….and why shouldn’t we?) is exactly the opposite of teenager James. Due to this inferiority, I think Snape wants to impress her, wants her to see him worthy of her. But unfortunately, he chooses the wrong path. If he had chosen the right path, would he ever have had a relationship with Lily? We never know, nor can we be sure they were suited for each other. As a Severus Snape fan more than a Harry Potter fan, I must say that I would have preferred them together. I totally think they would have had a chance together; and it is not only me saying that, it is the author herself. On the other hand, James wouldn’t have felt so afraid of their friendship if there was nothing. Overall, I think Lily took the right decision in leaving Snape behind as she gave him many opportunities for him to rethink about his actions.<br />There are two moments in Snape’s life when he has to choose: either good or evil, either her friendship or DE’s fellowship, either love or power. In the first place, he chooses power, like Dumbledore, which brings him sadness and remorse. The second time though he chooses LOVE, which brings him redemption and forgiveness. As long as Harry Potter forgave him, I do not see any reason why Lily wouldn’t. <br />Milenahttps://www.facebook.com/milena.ungureanunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-30915131431436378332014-10-24T14:36:22.648-05:002014-10-24T14:36:22.648-05:00This is great!

Well, "bravery" at ages 11, 12, 13 looks a hell of a lot like idiocy. I wanted to put my foot up the ass of every kid in his class who was described as a "leader" because they were, to a person, arrogant, would not listen, and refused to follow rules put in place to protect them. And I was only with the class for two hours every week. Do I sympathize with Snape's treatment of a bunch of unschooled, arrogant first-years? Oh hell yeah.

Well said. I hated Snape in the beginning but I can't imagine how anyone can blame him or whatever after knowing his past and his miserable, miserable life. In fact I think the two characters in the series with the saddest, most painful lives are, ironically: Snape and Sirius.<br /><br />I think the worst thing in life is to be "wrongfully accused" of something. Sirius had to suffer for a crime he never committed AND suffer the hatred of his ex-colleagues, best friend, and godson!!! Then he had only like 2 years of happiness before he got killed off. But at least you could say, Sirius had a happy school life, enjoyed friendship at its purest and popularity and admiration among his peers. <br /><br />Snape on the other hand, obviously didn't have any popularity whatsoever, and his only true friend was Lily (which can even be debatable, really, when I think about how harshly she cut him from his life, abandoning him to Death Eater crooks. Would a true friend have given up?). Like Sirius, Snape also had a pretty horrible family situation (though I doubt Sirius's parents ever beat him or neglected him, not before his sorting, anyway). Like Sirius, Snape also had a God-awful adulthood. I honestly can't say which is worse, Azkaban or seventeen years of double-agent at Voldemort's side. Not only did Snape risk his life everyday, but all the "good" and "righteous" people around him believed him to be this horrible, disgusting traitor! Only Dumbledore knew the truth and Snape had to be the one to kill him! That's just so unfair. I think the last year of Snape's life was just - gah - absolute torture, the loneliness he had to endure with the whole school hating him, even McGonagall. If it was me I'd go crazy but you know, Snape puts up with it because he's used to people hating him and he doesn't ever expect anything better. That's just... so sad.<br /><br />Of course, I haven't mentioned until now the biggest heartache of Snape's existence: Lily. <br /><br />I think a lot of people who don't like Snape assert that his love for Lily is unhealthy and warped. He idealizes Lily and is so infatuated it's close to obsession. But, well, what about James? People can call James's dogged pursuit of Lily when she's clearly not interested "cute" but call Snape's eternal one-sided love "creepy." We'll never know what Lily actually felt for Snape, most likely it was always just platonic, and I also don't know if they would've been compatible together at all (depends on how far you take the "opposite attract" trope), and who knows? Maybe Snape did put Lily on a pedestal and never truly knew her. But it doesn't matter, because his love and devotion to her is a big essence of his character. I don't think anyone else in the series has loved anyone romantically that much. And it's a love without sex, without anything adult about it. Love born out of a lonely child's grasp onto the best joy of his life.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
