and Severus Snape
“One of a wizard’s most rudimentary skills is levitation the ability to make objects fly. Uh, do you all have your feathers? Good. Now, uh, don’t forget the nice wrist movement we’ve been practicing, hmm? The swish and flick. Everyone. The swish and flick. Good. And enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go then.”
Severus: The only thing keeping me from running away and hiding from society for the rest of my life is spite. I could disappear forever, but there are some bitches whose downfalls I have yet to witness, and I wanna be around when that happens.

Why does Spinners End matter?

To understand the significance of Spinners End, is to understand the British class system. Rowling opens Severus Snape’s novel with a fundamental fact about him - he is from a working class muggle background. How do we know this?  Because she has placed him in a working class muggle home - a two-up, two-down terraced house in the shadow of a factory. Why do we need to know this? Because Rowling wants us to better understand Snape’s betrayal of Lily and his reason for seeking atonement forever more. 

The one question that’s been running circles in my head is how will Snape know when he’s in love? Is he like first sight, first love? Or like sudden realization at a mundane thing? A big thing happens and bam?

I need to know!!! Why this man gotta be complicated.

What i really dislike about movie snape is that everyone who never read the book would think that he was an aristocrate or someone very important. He's very haughty and mannered, you'd think he was Malfoy's cousin when in fact he grew up in dirtiness and extreme poverty.

How do you stop loving this character? I love Severus, both in the books and in the movies. And every time I read or re-watch the movies, I fall in love with him all over again. It's impossible not to draw him.
