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 :(
I LOOOOVE this poster
Unrequited love, ah, so very very sad indeed XC
ReplyDeleteFunny, JKR describes Snape as being so hideous yet I imagine him a very cute child.
I do too!
ReplyDeleteI can't handle it! Every time I think about how things ended up for Snape, my heart sinks :(
ReplyDeleteIt's just so unfair. Of course, if Snape did get Lily, Harry wouldn't have been born and there would be no story to tell, but I just wish he could of found some happiness.
