Snape Rage
Is it bad that I do not like Snape? Never have, never will. He was a jerk to Harry and telling me that Snape was only mean to Neville because he “could have been the chosen one” does not make me like him. It makes him more of a jerk. To be a douche to someone who lost his parents in the cruellest way possible because you’re selfish enough to wish the world hell and pain to save someone you were mean to AFTER she had been so nice to you and befriended you. Then you treated her son like shit because he acts like her husband, his father. Your “friends” hate her and you chose them over her; yet you still have the audacity to hate the man she chose after you hurt her? (I don’t care if that didn’t make sense; I’m venting!)
I love James and Lily and if Snape deserved her, he would have had her. He DID have her! He messed up! He doesn’t deserve her. He lost her. James deserves her because he earned her. He changed his horrible behaviour to please her. Yes, he was still mean to Snape…but Snape hated him too! You wouldn’t have been nice. Hell, I know I wouldn’t have been nice and I’m a very nice person. Snape was EVIL to Harry. He was unnecessarily cruel to Hermione. He was spiteful to Lily. He rejected love and missed his shot. James loved her just as much, if not more and she loved him.
Snape was a bigger person for his part in keeping Harry alive and helping him. Snape deserves some recognition for his bravery and unwavering love. But he does not deserve the girl he hurt. He does not deserve the chance to be with Lily. If ever I believed in reincarnation, it’s so Snape gets a second chance at life. So Snape can find love and be happy. But intentions do not make the actions okay. His actions were not okay. Granted, in the movies he was a much better person…but in the books he was vial. He was bitter. His only redeeming quality was his love and bravery. Get this people, he was mean to an orphan. He emotionally abused an orphan who had spent his life being hated and physically, as well as emotionally, abused by his aunt and uncle; people entrusted to protect him! He was also cruel to a boy who was disliked and bullied a lot and could even be considered a little emotionally abused. This little boy was worse than an orphan. His parents were in the hospital, insane because they’d be tortured for so long. They were in his life as a shadow of their former selves. Never really present.
He needed to realise Lily would have wanted him to move on. His love for her was touching and inspiring but, if it was so strong, could it not have changed him more? He never cared for Harry. He could have. He could have been indifferent, if not nice, to an innocent and very bright muggleborn and a brave pureblood. So many people are abused as kids and break the cycle to spare others. He could have too.
