Snape Snape Severus Snape...



You´ve probably seen (and heard!!) it before.. it´s been around for like 3 years but I still think it´s great!! I mean 80 million people have seen it! That's just crazy! They even sell their own t-shirts now.

Snape Snape Severus Snape, Snape Snape Severus Snape...

Severus Snape The Half Blood Prince


The Half Blood Prince wasn´t my favorite book nor movie in general.. But I loved Snape in it!!

And here are some of the tragic scenes:

Severus Snape and Lily Evans

Severus Snape and Lily Evans... Who would have thought it? I definitely didn't...

I love this pic.. Both Severus and Lily look so gorgeous...

After finishing the fifth book (and the pensieve scene) I was pretty sure that there was something more to it...maybe Severus Snape and Lily Evans had been friends I thought. I was probably influenced by a lot of fanfics out there :).. I was surprised, but not shocked, when the full tragic story revealed itself in the last book.
Finally we learn that that Snape's patronus is a doe, which was also Lily's. We learn that he is still in love with the woman he could never have, and we finally learn why it was always so important that Harry had Lily's eyes!

We know for a fact that Severus Snape had a crush on Lily when they were just kids, it turned into love as they got older. Lily Evans, unfortunately, never returned Snape's feelings. JK Rowling has said, after the book was released, that Lily would probably have returned his feelings if he had not dabbled in the Dark Arts so much. She also said that Severus dabbled in the Dark Arts because he wanted to show off to Lily, and let her see that he was a powerful wizard, worthy of her love.Sooooo sad :(

Always True to Dumbledore



With the downfall of Voldemort, Snape was facing a sentence in Azkaban, but protected by Dumbledore. He started to work at Hogwarts, in 1981, though not at Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, as he wanted (because the Dumbledore feared that he might be tempted by them again), but as Potions Master, a position he held until the fifth book in the series. In the sixth book he finally becomes Dark Arts teacher and Headmaster of the school (in the seventh). Snape never liked the other teachers, and the other teachers hate him, because they were not able to understand the reasons for Dumbledore to have a kind of blind faith in him.

Snape was, until the day of his death, loyal to Dumbledore, who gave him more complicated tests. With the return of Voldemort, he acted as a spy within the inner circle of "He who must not be named", and did this until the day he died without being discovered, thanks basically to his skills in Occlumency. It also had to kill Dumbledore on his orders, so as to prevent Draco to commit a murder and hurt his soul.

Funny Snape Stuff!


I dunno where I found this but it is hilarious! Me want!!
