Severus - weird Slytherin boi, zero social skill, unnaturally talented at making enemies, completely crushing on a Gryffindor girl.

And on the topic of the whole "Snape is not an effective teacher, he never teaches them anything!"

He literally gives them his own potion instructions which are better than the books! When they mess up he lists everything they did wrong that led to the result they got! He assigns homework that directly explains the uses of ingredients to make them understand it better (or is in other ways tied to what they are currently practicing to do!) His punishments are essays on what you did wrong or preparing ingredients! He always had an antidote ready in case something went wrong!

Even during the horrible Occlumency lessons he: -answers Harry's questions -explains to Harry what to do -compares it to a skill Harry is familiar with for explanation -when Harry still doesn't get it, leads him through the steps to help him do it correctly -tells him what he is doing wrong and what he is doing right -assigns him homework that will help him learn the skill

He isn't just yelling "Close your mind" as some people say. He is still a dick about it but he does teach him properly.

Very rarely do we get glimpses into how exactly the other teacher's classes go and even then they aren't any more detailed or explained than Snape's classes. Usually, we just find out what they are doing and no instructions from teachers whatsoever. Yet people take this vagueness to say Snape didn't explain or teach anything properly when every other subject gets even less description. (with a few exceptions like Lupin's first class and a few of Hagrid's)

And we do see some students like his lessons, so not everyone hates him or considers him a bad teacher:

“didn’t get a chance to speak in Defense Against the Dark Arts this morning. Good lesson, I thought."

That is not even mentioning the fact that most if not all of his students pass OWL exams (even Neville!), Umbridge describes his class as fairly advanced for their level, Snape only takes students who get O on their OWLs to NEWT classes and we see plenty of them do get Os.

(And people say Slughorn is a better teacher but he never corrects any student or explains why their potion turned out wrong, he just passes by them with no comments unless it's someone he wants to "collect"! He never teaches them anything, just has them follow the instructions in the book!)

Snape might be a bullying snarky bat but he is actually an effective teacher.

I love how the floating lemon drops into Albus' cup. It wasn't just a particle effect or scent the man was just levitating lemons. And there it is the the next panel. Great detail, I probably found it funnier than it is.

He also asked Molly for advice :>

(For anyone who is guessing, his book is called "FANTASTIC BEASTS: a guide to education of an intelligent wizard)

Narcissa is a diva and Lucius is a dork. Perfect combination.

Snapetober day 19: discovery

I wanted this to double as my November illustration, so I wanted to make it seasonal. TBH I think persimmons probably don't grow in Scotland, but maybe he's travelling, looking for potions ingredients he can't get in Scotland.

Persimmon trees are really common in some areas. I imagine he came across a bunch of them and is a little surprised by their abundance. It might not be a useful potions ingredient, but it is very delicious.

The Marauders were so much better than Snape because they matured and grew and regretted their mistakes.

Really? Let’s start with Sirius Black, the gold standard of 'growth.'

Sirius Black, at 35, was so grown up that he still called Snape 'Snivellus,' a nickname invented when he was eleven to bully a kid for existing. Maturity level: 100%.

And oh, Sirius, who totally let go of his childish grudges… except for the part where, after 18 years, he was still so consumed by his petty hatred that he wished Snape dead and showed zero remorse for nearly getting him killed as a teenager. Even knowing how much it would’ve hurt Lupin, he never regretted it. Such maturity

Speaking of maturity, let’s not forget the time 33-year-old Sirius carried Snape, unconscious and defenseless, in a way that was meant to harm him—and took sadistic pleasure in doing so, because what screams "adulthood" more than that?

Oh, and he was so grown up that he still mocked Snape for his appearance as an adult. Yes, making fun of someone's face and hair at 35 is peak personal growth. Clearly, he outpaced Snape in every way.

When Sirius felt powerless or sidelined during the war, his go-to coping mechanism? Humiliate someone else! Mature behavior 101.

And just for good measure, let’s throw in the time when 35-year-old Sirius tried to physically attack Snape, forcing Harry, his 15-year-old godson, to step in and stop him like a toddler having a tantrum. What a shining example of the 'grown-up' Marauders we keep hearing about.

tell me this: which of Sirius Black’s childish, bullying behaviors towards his schoolyard victim did he actually stop to earn the title of ‘mature’? Did he stop mocking and belittling Snape? Did he stop physically attacking him? Did he ever regret plotting his murder? Or, at the very least, stop trying to harm him altogether? Because from where I’m standing, the answer to all of these is a resounding no.
