There are two things about this confession that piss me off.

1. “Bullied”? No, don’t even think about adding that in quotations. He DID bully Harry and others. Don’t try and pretend he didn’t because you already lost that battle.

2. That doesn’t excuse his behavior. No matter what happened to him IN HIS PAST, nothing excuses the shit he did. Children shouldn’t be the figurative punching bag of a bitter adult. And no, I wouldn’t be as bitter as him and I certainly wouldn’t use my authority position to take it out on kids.

I think this is a pretty respectful post, considering. It’s okay for you to hate Snape (I think it’s extreme, but I can understand hating him for bullying). And you acknowledge that he did great things.

So I agree in some sense. His bullying was unneccesary and made him a jackass, but he was a hero and did a shit ton of great things for the good side.

It’s people like you who make a bad name out of not only Snape and Lily shippers, but Snape fans as well.

I mean, really, you’re going to ignore the shit Snape did to Lily? You’re acting as if she was always a complete bitch to him and he never gave her a reason to stop being friends with him.

Snape calling Lily a Mudblood is the same as someone calling someone else the N-word. It’s a hateful and disturbing word to use. If someone called me that, I wouldn’t want to be friends with them either. Not to mention that Snape was slowly moving over to the Death Eater side (which, in case you’ve forgotten, hated and killed muggle borns, which, in case you’ve also forgetten, Lily was).

Staying friends with someone just because of their home life is a stupid reason. It’s the same as saying a fighting husband and wife should stay married for the children. No. Both end badly.

So just stop.

I agree with you for once (it’s animagus from HP confessions. How you doing?) but I can also see Lily’s flaws too. But anyways….OP it’s confessions like this that are giving us fans a bad name and spreading snape hate. Please stop. Even if she and Severus did get together do you think it would be good? Hell no. It would be unhealthy for both party’s which is why I will never ship snilly. Besides, she and james needed each other to balance each other out and were perfect for each other. So stop with this crap OP. Just stop.

I’m good, how are you? I thought you may have abandoned Tumblr since I haven’t seen you post in a while. Glad to see you haven’t.

parryhotterman:

Of course you hate Snape.  You’ve got a fucking Tumblr name that says as much.

Fucking Marauders, a.k.a. the fuckers who greatly helped Snape become the asshole that he was.

Are you aware that it’s possible to like the Marauders and like Snape? Assuming that all Marauder fans hate Snape makes you look like an asshole.

Well, the ones in the picture I can pretty much guarantee never used/read/listened/watched anything having to do with muggles.

modnote: my problem with people who hold this kind of opinion is that they usually don’t understand that when I’m saying I’ve liked Snape since the beginning, I mean his character not his person. There is a difference. I did not like Snape as a person hardly at all through the whole series, but he has always been one of my favourite characters, yes even since the first book. Because it was obvious to me that were was much more to him, even then I knew there had to be a reason Dumbledore was letting him teach, and I wanted to know why he was so mean and angry all the time and it made him interesting and made me pay attention to him more. 

It only sickens me if they liked him because he was such a bullying asshole. Otherwise, I can completely understand why they liked his character and his story. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Although I’m a little bothered by people who thought Snape was just a “mean” or “tough” teacher. No. He was a bully.

Same. I hate, hate, hate them. I’m not surprised and can understand Harry using the names Lily and James, but everything else is too much, in my opinion. I get it; you want to honor the people who have done some awesome and great shit. That doesn’t mean you should name your kids after them. Part of me wonders if Ginny really agreed with the names..

I still don’t understand why they chose “Luna” for Lily.

And honestly, I’m a little upset he didn’t do anything to honor Remus.

I used to pronounce her name as Her-main, but that was because my mom pronounced it that way first. I’m not sure what my brain would have come up with on my own.

On a side note, I absolutely hate this picture. The pose is so awkward.

He kinda went off to do something more important, like kill a fucking horcrux snake. ._.

The snake was later in the battle. This was in the beginning.
