@HarryPotterFolklore Am currently writing a Reimagined version of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, it will be non canon but it'll be my love letter to my favorite Harry Potter book that being Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows
@@Walker_Dead_Phoenix.2016 make sure to email it to me
@@HarryPotterFolklore I'll do that, when am finished writing the story ;)

@@HarryPotterFolkloreWhat if Harry was Harriet, who looked like Lily with James' eyes? What would Snape have done then? Would he have worked harder at defending Harriet?
Harry was like an embodiment of every torment Snape experienced. His childhood bully, his unrequited love, his greatest mistake, his ultimate failure, and his penance.
Exactly so. 👍
People forget that although Snape was bullied, he was a bully himself in school and after. We don’t get to see scenes of it but as a reader we are told that Snape didn’t hesitate to curse James and Sirius behind their backs as well. He had friends at school that he was open only planning to join the death eaters after graduation with. His story is tragic and indicative of a victim of generational trauma. His only redeeming quality was that he could love someone as deeply as he loved Lilly, even then his desires to serve Voldemort are the only reason he didn’t marry Lilly himself. James didn’t steal her, Snape pushed her away.
Even then i think in the friendzone of Lily.
James is just too much of a good guy with physical beauty.
Oh yes. The greatness of Snape as a character is that J.K Rowling enables us to sympathise with his plights whilst also despising him for the choices he makes.
His childhood was clearly hellish. No wonder he longed for school. He was lonely. So no wonder it was bliss for him to discover that one of the Evans girls was just like him.
Lily treated him like a person with worth. So no wonder he idolised her.
At school he and Lily were still friends, even being in different houses. But there are already cracks appearing when Severus is getting too close to fellow Slytherins like Malfoy, who are not a good influence on him.
There's zero excuse for the ways that James and Sirius bully Severus. Of course he wants to fight back. But when we later learn that he's invented spells as bad as Sectum Sempra. We can see how much he's absorbing the dark side, to find the power to fight.
Then, of course there's his big mistake. During OWL exam time, Lily backs him up while James and Sirius are publicly tormenting him. And in his embarrassment he throws out the worst of insults 'mudblood'. For Lily it's the final straw.
Then as a teacher, he uses his power over Harry to torment him, as a reminder of his father, and the fact that Lily chose James in the end.
No matter what we can sympathize with Snape over, nor what we can admire him for. This is still despicable behaviour.
@@Redrosewitch all very true. I think he is a great character but those who have not read the books tend to not understand the character.
If you reed the books you know why he cursed them is because they bullied him
@@stefanocremonini2656
Nah he was just sexual assault
JK Rowlings stated that there's nothing as bad as a teacher who bullies their students to settle old scores with their parents for whatever slights that were inflicted upon them. I concur with her that such incidences occur more often than most people would like to admit. I recall in primary school grade 5 one of my classmates incurred the ire of my homeroom teacher who often verbally berated him whenever he made even the smallest and unintentional mistakes. My homeroom teacher would often yelled at the poor kid that he was just like his father a hard headed little devil hell bent on wrecking mischief and god forbid that anyone in class took his side we would also incur her wrath and be labeled as little devils too.
Well, where I live there aren't really people like that, but I can definitely sympathize with kids who have been treated unfairly for their parent's mistakes.
Damn mate sounds bad. I am a teacher and I could never behave that way. I would just ask not k teach the kid and even if I had to I just would get on with it.
It was never Harry's fault that his late dad was an ass to Severus.
@HarryPotterFolklore Also, Snape hated and bullied Neville Longbottom so much (to the point of becoming Neville's worst fear) because if Voldemort had chosen to go after Neville rather than Harry, Lily would still be alive
Yes. I think there's probably quite a bit of that involved.
Except that Snape didn't know about Neville being the other boy considered. At least at the time. He might have figured it out later. I like how some people always assume that Snape had first hand knowledge of Neville being the other boy almost considered. However Snape was not part of Voldemort's inner circle at this time. He was a 21 year old kid regulated to listening at doors, and spying on Dumbledore.
Also, if Lily had just moved, or Voldemort forced her to move, stunned her, or placed her in a body bind...she would also still be alive. It really doesn't have a whole lot to do with Neville at that point. Voldemort had the choice not to kill her, but he did anyway.
Good to see Hogwarts Mystery getting a plug! I'm really loving the game, a Year 6 Hufflepuff. Definitely a bonus to have Tonks as a housemate.
Snape is a fascinating character. We never know quite where we are with him. He gives us opportunities both to admire him and to loathe him. That's some great writing on the part of J K Rowling.
RIP Alan Rickman
Yes indeed. He made a great Professor Snape.
Legend
Resentment of the father(james) projected on the son(harry)
Another flawless video. Thank you very much from Quito, Ecuador!
He was reminded of James whenever he looked at Harry
Hope Lily gets to push him in the pit to hell.
@@joejackson4627 😂
Snape: "Ten hundred kadrillion billion house points.... from Gr'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'iffindor."
Harry: "Oh piss off, Adam Driver!"
HHHHAAAA!!!🤣
Thank you Dean 🥹❤️
I wouldn't say that Snape EVER had empathy for Harry; rather, he just saved him for the love he had for Harry's mother . . . Just my opinion! 🤔😉
I'll agree Sonia. In fact, I don't think even Dumbledore goes as far as to expect Snape to care about Harry personally. He asks him to protect Harry, so that Lily's sacrifice won't have been in vain.
His entire "redemption" is that he had the hots for Harry's mother!
Snape’s gradual fall into darkness was a play of almost all factors all working in unison to push him into it. His family, friends, enemies, and even environment all worked lock step in pushing him farther into it with the sole thing not being lily. Yes it lead to their falling out but when you look at sheer contrast between the amount of influential factors it would’ve been a miracle if it didn’t end that way seeing as the overwhelming amount of factors going against him turning to the light. After lily he had 0 reason to be on the side of the light and all the reason not to so of course he did that at first who wouldn’t. No one wants to be alone. The greater feat in my opinion is a person in this same scenario still going against the overwhelming tide of influences and turn his back on the darkness that all accepted and respected him and side with the light that all unanimously rejected him. People are products of equal parts nature and nurture and when one goes against the other it just hinders all their potential as we see with snape. Imagine what he could’ve done with a healthy loving family and friends from the start he couldn’t been the next Dumbledore tbh such a shame. Lesson here to not bully I guess
Snape's background is a tragedy. I'm wholly convinced that with the amount of talent and skill he had, he could've eclipsed both Voldemort and even Dumbledore in time, if he had actually had the chance to keep "growing".
It certainly had to do with Snapes bitterness about Lily, her death, him being ripped from the life he had made with the death eaters at the right hand of the dark Lord, and Harry representing James. But I think once Harry's first year was over and it was clear Voldemort was trying to come back, I think that arc of behavior had so much to do with occlumency. Any moment of caring or love towards Harry could've been used to undermine Snapes ability to protect Harry. Not just by getting inside of Harrys mind but those around him, such as Malfoy. I'm fairly certain that Voldemort, while staying at Malfoy Manor, would have used occlumency on Draco to search his memories about Harry in his developing years. If Draco had witnessed Snape being nice towards Harry even once, it could've destroyed everything.
⚡️'s first words about Snape: Who is that man?
⚡️'s final words about Snape:
The bravest man I ever knew.
It's hard to underestimate the importance of Snape's Slytherin partisanship in this story: you'd think he would have welcomed a student as bright as Hermione, no matter who she was, so one has to wondering how he'd have treated her if she was a Slytherin.
7:24 Personally, I suspect that another reason Snape was often at odds with Hermione was because she reminded him of Lily.
Lily was a backstabbing bitch! Hermione isn't.
I personally feel like Snape didn’t like Harry because to him Harry represented something he would never have: Lily Potter.
I delight in picturing him encountering Lily in the afterlife and looking into her eyes as she pulls the lever that sends him to hell.
@@joejackson4627 lmao 🤣 sheesh!!!
Ahh there's a point I hadn't considered. Yes. Lily had a child, in a loving relationship with a man Snape hated. But it must also have reminded him that he himself put the final nail in his own relationship with Lily.
She wasn't happy seeing him with future Death-eaters.But she let it go, for the sake of their friendship. What she couldn't forgive was when he threw that foulest of insults 'mudblood' at her. I wonder how often he mentally kicked himself for that moment?
Snape never viewed himself as a hypocrite who plays favorites but he has always veiwed himself as a defenfender of innocent Slytherin
I know.
Y'know Snape could've truly honored Lily by being the father Harry wasn't able to have. But instead because he's let his anger get in the way it took him dying to actually open up to Harry. And people like this character?
All I can say is “Well said” about the message about the books
That was one of the best "studies" I have heard regarding the Harry/Snape story. Thank you. For me the most important and fascinating character of this series is Snape.
I love your videos man. Keep them coming brother. Can you do one more on the deathly hallows
Absolutely! I listen to the Harry Potter books for years and years every night going to sleep popping a CD in. And they never get old still read them as an adult not every night while going to sleep but every few years I put them out and read them.
I had that game and Harry Potter puzzles and spells and I just stunk at them.
@HarryPotterFolkore How do you think Snape would have felt about Regulus Black (who, like Harry, also greatly resembled someone who Snape despised)?
Oh yes. That would be good to hear, please
He would have been fine about Regulus, since Sirius and him aren't on good terms.
but Snape couldn't have met Bellatrix in their Hogwarts years. Bellatrix attended Hogwarts in 1962 which means if you do the math, finished in 1969 or 1970. And Snape started at Hogwarts in 1971. they must've met after joining Voldemort's gang. But he could've known Regulus or Barty Jr. or the 2 death eaters that lilly mentioned in that memory.
I have a question Dean, I'm not sure if you've covered this before or not. In The Prisoner of Azkaban when Snape gets between the Trio and Lupin in Werewolf form, Moony strikes Snape down. If the claws made contact with Snape, would he not develop wolf-like tendencies or Lycanthropy? My thoughts are if Bill Weasley was attacked by Fenrir Greyback when it wasn't a full moon, and still developed tendencies, wouldn't Snape also develop at least traits from a scratch during full moon?
Bravo!
Dean getting the Hogwarts Mystery sponsorship like he hasn’t openly trashed the game on his channel 😂
Real life nerd here:
During my time at high school most nerds, about 95-98%, were actually treated quite well by others. Many nerds were actually highly likeable. The only nerds that got bullied were the ones who were unpleasant. In the books Snape kept reminding me of the tiny proportion of nerds who were unpleasant.
I thought of Snape's behavior toward Harry as a perfect cover. Voldy doesn't see him help Harry because the dislike is obviously. It's a practical application and he has no problem in his role because Harry's resemblance (behavior and appearance) to James makes Snape's motivate easy.
Keep in mind that all teaching is performative. We play a role. A Welsh instructor I knew always taught in his dark role -- just like Snape. I asked him once about this, perhaps before any HP book came out. The instructor told me the robe was his costume. In other words, he's staging himself to seem a certain way. An actor needing a wig, robe and such to get into a role is very similar. And Snape had to carefully stage himself. That's why he's an elusive character. I also think the films only showing a small portion of classes means the worst of Snape as teacher was probably not going to be filmed. So, I don't think the films got Snape wrong, really. He had to be "all grey" in order to fool people not not understand his intentions as well as for Rowling to create a workable story. Imagine if readers knew about Snape's "real"" self too soon. Nope, can't do it. Kinda ruins the end of the series.
I mean.. yes he reminded him of James.... but he was a CHILD!!! It just still always blew my mind
Love the work you are doing here and thank you for promoting Hogwarts Mystery it is an amazing game and fun to play
Still waiting for the game to show up in Google play store.
good teachers in asia remind me of snape.
Yes, even my parents say that teachers should be allowed to beat students(including me and my brother) if they don't listen to them.
Regardless of Snape’s past, he was a bully. He bullied students in every house but his. Harry and Neville got the worst of it, because of Snape’s issues. It is bad enough when a fellow student is a bully, but when a teacher is, that goes beyond cruelty and straight into evil. In elementary school we had a teacher who was known as a horrible bully. He forced students to eat everything on their tray no matter what. Now that might not sound horrible, but it sent my brother to the emergency room. My brother had sever allergies and asthma, he told the teacher repeatedly that he was allergic to peas. The teacher forced him (would not allow him to leave his seat) to eat every one on his tray. My brother’s face and airways began to swell. The office called my mom but did not tell her what had happened. Once he was able to talk my brother told her the whole story. The school refused to do anything about the teacher that time. My mom did manage to get them to pay for my brother’s er visit and the time she lost at work. We found out later the principal had a reason to keep the school board out of it so he agreed to pay. He did at least stop forcing students to eat everything on their trays, but did not stop bullying students.
Sadly not long after this, he beat four students leaving bruises from half way up their backs down to their calves. When the school ignored the parents, they went to the newspapers. Believe it or not the teacher was asked to switch school districts. Keep in mind this was the 1970’s, luckily today this would never be allowed to happen. The principal did end up in jail due to fraud. He made a deal with school suppliers. They would give him expired milk and food and split the money.
Good points about Snape. I mean I find it morally redundant myself. But one hundred percent Snape behaved poorly as a teacher and there are no excuses for it. But I think Hogwarts seems to let rich boys bully poor kids and drive them into the week do extremists and that’s just the opposite of what a school should do. The wizarding world has some serous problems.
Bellatrix Black
I feel so very sorry for harry Potter 😢
I know, Harry got abused and mistreated by so many people, but he never turned bad.
Sure Snape sees harry as not just the clone of James but the obsessive failure from his pain want of lilly he was very very lucky that harry was so grounded by Ron and Hermione he could have been a loner like himself and riddle and turned into an even worse dark lord then both riddle and Grindelwald who would only want to watch the world burn around him while laughing cruelly at the misfortunate he did have the potential for that and had every reason to become a cruel hate filled person with the dureslys working him like an indentured slave and the treatment from the likes of Snape and umbridge that could have pushed him over the edge and reaped the pain and hatred he felt then took it out on the world
HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!! HARRY IS NOTHING LIKE VOLDEMORT OR GRINDEWALD!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS THE MOST GOOD PERSON THERE CAN BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Game !!!
Imagine. The eyes of the person you love, in the face of the person who brought you so much unhappiness.
Harry never brought Snape unhappiness! Snape is the one who bullied Harry for things that were out of his control.
Finally explained? Pretty sure this was all clear several years ago with the last book/movie, and we’ve all discussed it to death.
Ok but, is there a theory as to why he was so cruel to everyone else, except the Slytherins, of course.
Here's a big question. Is Snape worthy of blame for Lily and James' deaths?
I disagree that he helped Harry because he cared or wanted to spare his life. Snape's obsession with Lily is his only motivation. He wanted revenge against Voldy and knew the only way to do so was Harry being the only one to kill him. Harry was the means to an end. IMO
Now it would be different if he only abuse, mistreated Harry BUT he abused,mistreated, bully all students not apart of his house. How he did Neville and Herminone and others was despicable, unacceptable, should have been addressed by Dumbledore or other teachers.
I too have been abused by parents and bullied, I have never taken out my trauma on others especially children, dealing with their own trauma, especially Harry. 😢
False.
@@cp37373no, this is mostly accurate. Snape’s guilt and remorse over getting Lilly killed and his hatred of Voldemort for breaking his word that he wouldn’t kill Lilly are his only motivations. Snape never renounced his ideals or anything. JK Rowling herself has always been hesitant to call Snape a hero, even Dumbledor is disgusted with Snape but trusts him due to his understanding of how powerful Snapes love for Lilly was.
Looks accurate to me. I don't recall Snape going after Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, or any of the Slytherins.
Snape did, however, go after Harry from the first day in Potions class.
He was unmerciful to Neville.
Goodness knows how he treated someone like Luna or Ginny.
I think Dumbledore knew what Snape had done. But perhaps Dumbledore knew Snape would look out for Harry because of his own love for Lily.
Dontesia Stewart,Chris Whetton,Katheryne Koelker I agree with ya'll.
Snape was so cruel to Neville because if Voldemort had chosen to go after Neville rather than Harry, Lily would still be alive.
Yeah just because Harry Potter looks like his father doesn't mean he is him.
Some thing that Snape, being of such a shrewd mind can't seem to understand.
Hogwarts Mystery is a garbage game, and Severus Snape is an anti-teacher.
I'm honestly surprised that Snape never just said "200000000000 from Gryffindor for the spawn of James Potter".
Although I don't think he gave or took points from his own House.
He also never gave points to any of the Houses either.
Also, as other people have said: Rest In Peace, Mr. Alan Rickman.
You were a great actor and a wonderful human being.
Also, Severus should have told Harry Potter how disappeared both of his parents would be in him when he did wrong and broke the rules especially if it was something James would never have done.
Yikes lol ❤❤😅😮!😱😕
Play Hogwarts Mystery? I did and not a fan of the game. I love the HP franchise and I played every single HP game on my pc (DH part 1 and 2 yeah a straight up COD, but GoF is a nightmare...) and I tried to play Hogwarts Mystery but the main reason I stopped playing it... well... grinding. That damn grinding .... a game needs to be fun, not a chore. The game is very grindy, meaning that players have to spend a lot of time repeating the same tasks over and over again in order to progress....
Is hogwarts mystery a real game like missions and stuff ( sort of like open world )
Or just a tapping on cards or buttons type game ( like clash of clans )
🗺🏝🌏
Harry Potter grew up with pieces of crap people too that were his blood relatives not only Snape, even in real life you can grow up with pieces of crap people, they just exist weather you want them to or not.
and still Harry stayed the kind, selfless person he is.
He is also trying to maintain his facade of siding with the death eaters and supporters of Voldermort. Wouldnt realy be aligned with that facade to not be a bully to students that arent Slytherin. Thats the thing with Snape its impossible to tell (for the most part) what he is actually thinking and feeling from what he wants people to believe he is thinking or feeling.
I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree on that point. He truly just bullied kids for no reason or because of things out of their control.
Suggestion: Do a another Harry Potter what if video titled What If Bellatrix survived the events of the Deathly Hallows
Snape was a bully as a teacher, but as Dean said here, Harry didn't make the job any easier for Severus 😂
So true!😆
Oh yes. That's perfectly true. And his penchant for rule breaking was so James and Sirius like. Defintely not something to soften Snape's heart.
@@Redrosewitch Yes, but Harry didn't break the rules for the fun of it.
" There's no need to call me sir, Professor." LOL.
@@sanjoykumardas4018 savage 🤣
I have a theory that Snape actually liked Harry... But because of his resemblance to James he wouldn't show it
What if snape always knew that voldemort could read his Harrys mind, and he threats him that way to not expose that he is a double agent
At the very least sometimes admired his achievements, yes. But definitely couldn't bear to show it.
Not to mention that there were children of fellow death eaters there to see everything he did in public. His shock at finding out Harry had to die says it all to me. He HAD to appear a certain way to keep his cover, but I think he was very different underneath it all.
@@korie4198
What about making Harry serve detention by rubbing James and Sirius' past detentions in his face...while he was likely still mourning Sirius? None of his colleagues' children were there to report on that.
@@JoeMavro1 I know. people like to think of Snape as this sort of tragic hero.
The controls of the game suck!
first. i love these videos
Don’t see Snape as complex. Was he bullied? Yds. All he did was mistreat a boy for his appearance. Got what he deserved.
Is that sarcasm? All he did was mistreat a boy?
@@piscestheDon Nothing gets by you.
Yeah right,hermine just couldn't and wouldn't take a hint just to keep her mouth shut and show her knowledge of her class work in writing instead of being an insufferable know it all, but I do like how smart she is in the books and movies, they all have their own talents.😊
Uhm, in Ron's wise words, Snape ased a question, why ask if he doesn't want to be told. Last time I checked class manners, answering questions that a teacher asked is perfectly FINE.
I totally agree with your views on the LGBT people. They should be treated and loved for whom they are and not hated. I also play Hogwarts Mysteries and it is a great game; I've played it since COVID.
Harry is the son that Severus SHOULD have had. As Professor Snape, Harry is the "bad" child of the teacher. Snape loves Harry because he loves Lily. He protects Harry like a father would.
He doesn't LOVE Harry, he only protects him because Dumbledore convinced him that in doing so he would make Lily's sacrifice didn't go in vain.
I completely disagree.
What Snape is doing is to teach us to be tough instead of being emotional little cry babies especially the boys. Make a man out of them is what he teaches. We live in a time where emotions are protected through things like PC culture and all what it does is to make anyone weak which allows governments to enslave the mass.
Are you drinking? Snape is not a good role model in the way he treats people. He is just a shitty person with poor emotional control. His whole character is a angry man baby.
Actually, what Snape is teaching is hold grudges on your school bullies and bully not only their children but other children too. The only reason you should not your bully's kid is because you had the hots for his mother.
@@sanjoykumardas4018 Snape do not bully the children. He teaches them to be tought. He perceive being sentimental as weakness. He say to Harry that he shall control his emotions. Its a form of stoicism he teaches which is strength.
@@headstrongbachelor3152 Oh yeah, that's DEFINITELY why he called Hermione an insufferable know-it-all for answering a question.
@@sanjoykumardas4018 And then he said she spoke before asked. Its disrespect when she cannot keep her mouth shut because she has constant need to be know-it-all person which in fact she dont. She is blind to many things...
