two of my favourite snape moments in the books are when ron swears really badly but snape doesn't hear because he sneezed at the exact same time, and when harry drops his egg down the stairs in 'the goblet of fire.' the bit when snape sees the map and correctly deduces harry is there, swivels around and stares harry right in the face while he's under the cloak kills me.

Barty Crouch Jr. and Regulus Black becoming death eaters because they both are some of the biggest Voldemort Fanboys. With no canon proof of them ever not being things like blood supremacists.

Marauders Stans: Uwwwww cute boys.

Snape following Voldemort because he thought he had no other place to belong but seeing his mistake and therfor doing everything to undo his wrongs. With canon proof that he changed his belifes about blood status and other things.

Marauders Stans: He is the only irredeemable character and all his fans are racists and god knows what.

They are such hypocryts.

CAN WE DISCUSS SNAPE’S FACE PLEASE

“DAYUM GURL”

“YOU LOOKING FINE, GURL”

“50 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR, GURL”

IT’S BACK

This scene is the greatest thing.  Sure, he’s snarking about poisoning Potter, but he doesn’t.  This is the Potions Master of Hogwarts, a man so brilliant he was re-writing his textbook at 16 years of age.  He wouldn’t just run out of Veritaserum.  So here he is, lying through his teeth to the woman who at this point runs the school, has the backing of the Ministry, and could probably get him fired (or far worse) in a heartbeat, all to protect Lily’s son, and he comes up with a clever, witty line to deflect suspicion while he does it.  He then believably denies understanding Harry’s cryptic message, yet understands it perfectly and goes to warn Dumbledore as soon as he’s free of Umbridge.

No one on this Earth, especially not me, would suggest that Severus does not have very serious flaws, but you have to admit he is brilliantly badass.

My favorite part about this scene is that it also contrasts Snape with Umbridge and provides the reader with some further insight into how Snape operates (i.e the incongruity between what he says and what he often does and how he can be more bark than actual bite). In book four, Veritaserum is first mentioned when Snape threatens to slip some into Harry’s pumpkin juice when he suspicions him as being the one stealing from his potions storeroom. Importantly, while Snape may threaten it, he never actually does it. 

Flash-forward to book five, and we’re presented with a teacher who invites Harry to her office for tea and really does attempt to slip Veritaserum into his drink. Notably, Umbridge does not threaten Harry with Veritaserum first, she simply acquires what is a Ministry controlled substance from Snape to use on Harry without him ever being aware. Significantly, the only reason that she fails is because Snape provides her with a fake potion and on her second, more brazen attempt to use it on Harry he denies having more on hand. 

Snape, the teacher who made a show of threatening Harry with Veritaserum the year before, undermines Umbridge’s attempts to use it on Harry not once but twice. That is the contradiction between words and actions that characterize Snape in a nutshell. What he says cannot always be trusted to form an accurate assessment of his character –to really understand Snape the attentive reader must always keep a close eye on what he does.
