Fucking disgusting. Cry bitch, yes cry! Omfg. What in the actual harry potter verse is this prick on? I just want to violently shake my phone and throw it against the wall for burning this bullshit in my memory. But like a mature healthy adult, I'll rant about this on Tumblr. Hahaha.
Does this person even know Voldemort exists? Does this person know that other purebloods exist that joined voldemort before Snape did? I mean so many fuck things happened before Snape joined, I'm practically speechless and angry.
How the fuck do snaters even end up on this bullshit?

I've noticed something about Snape—one of his biggest red lines, the thing that truly pushes him to his limit, is when someone's life is in danger.
In those moments, he becomes the most vulnerable version of himself. He forgets everything—every grudge, every precaution, every defense mechanism—and his only focus is getting people out of harm's way, no matter the cost.
So vulnerable that hearing about Ginny Weasley's kidnapping forces him to lean on the back of a chair. So vulnerable and unguarded that while saving Harry from Quirrell’s curse, an eleven-year-old sets him on fire. So vulnerable that, in his attempt to manage the chaos of the Shrieking Shack—with children, a werewolf, and a supposed murderer—he’s disarmed by 13-year-olds. He's so reckless that he makes an Unbreakable Vow for Draco. So reckless that he chases a werewolf, without Wolfsbane, under the full moon near sunset. So reckless that he ventures into the Forbidden Forest to find lost children. So reckless that he roams the hallways in the middle of the night, in his nightgown, chasing the sound of a scream. So reckless that, as a Death Eater, he risks everything to warn the leader of the opposite side about Voldemort's plans to kill the Potters—and is willing to give anything to save them. He's so ungrudging that he carefully carries an unconscious Sirius Black. So ungrudging that when Black is captured, he checks on him immediately and alerts the Order of the Phoenix. So ungrudging that he risks his cover to save Lupin.
And I think these moments say so much about his humanity—things the books never fully explain.

How is Severus an “incel” for honoring Lily’s memory and wishes for decades after her death but James isn’t an incel for refusing to take no for an answer to the point of trying to blackmail Lily into a date with him by physically abusing her friend? I think y’all just think “incel” means “man you don’t personally find attractive who has possibly unrequited feelings for a woman” not a member of a misogynistic hate group who sees women as just objects who owe him sex. Severus was never angry Lily wouldn’t date him or have sex with him, he was only ever angry she was defending his abusers. And even when she married one of his abusers, he still loved and respected her deeply for his entire life. No incel would risk his life for decades to honor the memory of a woman who is long dead and can’t possibly have sex with him.

Wrong, wrong and wrong. Since your view on Lily is so shitty, I safely assume you must have been the shitty friend of the group I guess. Because what you do is mental gymnastics. You read in between the lines to justify Lily.
Lily was an awful friend. Sure, you are desperate to talk Lily into safety but will it happen? No. Because Lily appears for about 2 chapters. All from Snape. So first of all, thank him for giving you wannabes a chance to actually see her. Thank you.
Next is, let's talk about the time line of Lily shall we? Lily is fiery. Lily is also the perfect woman JKR made from her mind. Well, jkr and her view on women is pretty much mysoginistic. She made Cho seem like a bad guy for being in touch with your feminine side.
Lily is either 9 or 10, maybe 8 when she met Snape. Her sister insults Snape in a way, that Snape lashes out. Does Lily defend him? No. She's still under the impression that her sister means something to her.
When Severus tells Lily about his father, she changes the subject to what she likes. Which indicates curiosity and innocence. But it also does show she cannot understand heavy backstory YET.
Petunia insults him again for being poor and weird. He lashes out in anger, a branch accidentally breaks, then Lily lashes out onto Snape. She chooses her sisters side even though petunia insulted him first.
At the train, she lashes out to her sister because petunia now insulted HER. So, petunia could insult Snape and she gets angry at him or ignores it. But when it is focused on her, she takes action. Strange but not unnoticed.
Because she and her sister fought, she tells Snape who was nicely waiting and saving her a seat, to shut up and not talk to her. He ignores it to figure out what bothers her so. Even cheers her up and relaxes her mind. Does she apologize? No. Also, doesn't go unnoticed.
And I know what you snaters might say. "Oh, but she was a child, don't be too harsh" well, hate to break it to you, but as a pedagogical worker, childhood habits break hardly in the teenage and adult years. ESPECIALLY from the 60's and 70's. And as you see, Snape was practically a punching bag between those two sisters.
Now, when marauders confront 11 year old lily and sev. She chose to rather take flight than fight. She avoids conflict whether it has a solution or not. Which indicates her preference on how to deal with conflicts.
Now, let's go to the infamous 5th year. Snape and Lily talk about Mary and Mulciber afterwards. Lily wants Snape to ghost his housemates. A group of kids that even hate blood traitors. Mind you, blood traitors are still purebloods. She wants him, a half muggle to act high and mighty and ignore those insane kids? Yeah, applause for the brightest witch.
Sure, Snape calls it a laugh. But look at his life. James and Sirius practically labeled him Snivellus and almost harmed him for liking Slytherin. Then in 5th year he is almost murdered. Snape is the victim of that prank, not Sirius or Remus alone. Snape is the real victim. Things were so bad and heated between maruaders and Snape, he almost got killed and his abuser got away with it. The way he sees things, it either truly was just a laugh, or someone told him it was just a laugh and he wasn't even present at that scene.
You say, snape used da right and got more lost in that. But dark arts isn't bad. It's like saying all doctors should die because a serial killer went around and surgically tortured people. Many characters used dark arts, including the Weasley family and Albus. Were they death eaters? No. Jinxes and hexes are subtext of da by the way. Maruader, in other words, used da too then by that logic since they used Snape's spells.
Before you go "Snape used his spells so marauders used it against him" bs. Snape made the spell. But as we know the marauders, they might as well have stolen his book and figured out the spell themselves. Since they figured out how to become animagi and such.
It also could have leaked out with purebloods threatening him that didn't see Severus as their likes at all. Because not once did Snape utter a thing about his past, so-called friends. Which friends do. I mean, Sirius and Remus mention James often.
Snape hates teaching, you think he was there teaching pureblood that like the idea of being taught by a half muggle, his spells? Think for once. We don't know how spells got out, so keep your assumptions to yourself.
Aside that, Lily calls a victim ungrateful. She was a prefect by the way. How does someone have the audacity to use her authority to talk down on someone? Then she proceeds to make him feel even worse by saying they don't use dark arts ateast. Which they later do.
Snape even mentions that James harms him to have HER attention, does she feel disgusted enough to stay away from him? No. Few months later, she goes for the umpteenth time since 1st year into a battle with marauders, hoping on luck that the others will stop harming Severus.
Why? Well, she never EVER uses a spell on them. James even threatens and extorts her. Does that keep her away from him? No. Then she doesn't even bother giving Snape his wand or call a teacher, no. She has a stare down with James. Then proceeds to smile for a split second which angered Snape. To call her a mudblood.
That you can't understand this, makes me think that maybe you were the bad apple in the friend group of yours or perhaps the carpet and hate to see a character like you. People always hate to recognize their bad bits in another person after all.
Sure, you blame James for being a bad men (don't you dare bring Severus into this though). But let's be honest:
- She saw her friend's life go to ruins by that man's hands and group.
- Sev even told her he suffers because James fancies her.
- James literally threatens and extorts her during swm
I mean, if you talk about ignoring red flags Olympics. Lily is winning. James didn't change shit for her. Imagine going from hexing people for fun to not hexing people for fun, and you win a girl, an honor and fame. Talk about low goddamn bars.
Not even teachers and principal that raised him could talk about James his good deed during Hogwarts years. That's because there weren't any. Snape was not in love with her. Not at all. People like you think probably boy-girl? Sex. Meanwhile platonic friendships exist.
Many men nowadays don't even want to raise a kid from another man. Did Snape do that? No. He protected harry, he only crashed out because harry looked exactly like his abuser. It's not even "lily had sex with james and birthed this gremlin". It's more of a "this child is exactly like James, even acts like him"
Which are two very different things. Snape didn't envy shit, otherwise he would try to change himself. Did he though? No. Don't project your insecurity on Snape please. Thanks.
See? I told you. Lily hardly grew out of her childhood habits. Defending herself when confronted only but not for others aka marauders and Snape. Doesn't apologize either.
She also left Snape to fend himself against his bullied where his undies may or may not have been removed by James. Then admits she made friends during her friendship with Snape, that didn't like Snape. Talk about backstabbing.
Snape NEVER EVER mentions he saw the Slytherins as his friends. That is HER assumption. She also accuses him over and over without leaving much room for him to speak. Leaving him with a pity question. Then she breaks of the friendship because of her friends. Talk about reasonable, bright witch prefect.
Anyway, you're adding far too much fanon for a woman that was there for 2 chapters in 7 entire books, based by a woman that hates about everything that isn't heterosexual.
Sure, James is the bad guy but Snape? Never.
'Lily is so entitled, argue with a wall. She is such a hypocrite!' (Snape vs Marauders rant Part 3)
Tumblr media
There were so many comments under this post criticizing Lily for marrying Snape's bully and ruining his life, knowing that Snape liked her. They sympathized with him.
"SHE IS THE WORST EXAMPLE OF FEMINISM FOR CHOOSING A R4PIST!" I even saw such a comment.
Some even claimed that Snape betrayed Voldemort on his own record and not because of Lily. They thought that he did not fancy her but was a good person at heart who wanted to save everyone, and that's why he did so.
Hypocrite? Fake friend? Are we seriously talking about Lily like this?
Fake friend, my ass.
Let's deep dive into their friendship story.
Young Snape was the one to approach young Lily first. They lived in the same neighborhood. Initially Lily was not glad to have him around since he looked down on her sister, Petunia, for being a muggle and insulted her (not as if Petunia didn't insult him back... Both were at fault.). She decided to ignore his pureblood ideology, thinking that he wasn't at all serious.
However, Lily stuck with Snape since she was a Muggle-born and had no idea about the new world that awaited her. He was her first and only wizard friend.
When she comes across James, he is an arrogant boy who is so full of himself. Yes, he was so extremely talented that people envied him. When he constantly kept asking her out, she was disgusted and annoyed. Snape kept asking her to stay away from James, knowing how arrogant James was and also probably because of jealousy, and she listened to him. (Yes, jealousy. Accept it or not, the books clearly say that everyone envied him. But he was so full of himself at that time that his big head outweighed his talents.)
As years passed, Snape interested himself in dark arts, and his pureblood ideology only deepened. Lily was left concerned about the influence his Pureblood Slytherin friends had over him. She constantly reminded him about their horrible actions and how dangerous they were, asking him to distance himself from them. However, Snape never listened to her.
Lily had always ignored his horrible influence and had always stood in support and defense of him until that one incident in the 5th year when the term 'mudblood' slipped from his tongue. That was when she realized that he had reached a point at which they could no longer consider themselves friends.
He had chosen dark arts over their friendship. For the sake of her self-respect, she chose to stand up for herself and not defend him.
(Mind you, mudblood is not something 'oh-so-cool' to say. It was a horrible and demeaning insult for someone.)
After the incident, she also found out that Snape was present with his Slytherin gang of friends, who picked on Lily's friend, Mary, who was another fellow Muggle-born and did horrible things to her. That was when she was horrified by the person he turned out to be and immediately decided to break the friendship.
Now, let's compare Snape and James and talk about how she made the right decision by choosing James over Snape.
Snape probably had fancied her; in fact, many did. However, he probably never had the guts to confess and ruin his long friendship.
But he definitely ruined the relationship by taking an interest in dark arts, evil and sadistic ways to harm people, inventing curses for such a sadistic purpose, and hanging around with pureblood supremacist Slytherins, who did horrible things to Muggle-borns like her.
'Mudblood' was never a slip of the tongue. He was not being forced by James at that time to call her that word. He did it on his own record.
He never defended and protected Lily's friend, knowing how disappointed Lily would be once she heard what happened to Mary. It could have been fear of being a target. But the problem is that he was never apologetic or guilty. While Lily accused his Slytherin friends, he kept defending them instead of feeling any remorse.
He chose his interests over their friendship. He definitely had a choice. Lily does not deserve to be hated for a choice he decided to make. If he suffered because of her loss from his life, he should have held himself responsible and not blamed James for 'stealing' her from him.
As time passed, Lily had thought that he would mature and give up on dark arts, but how wrong she was. He always remained an immature boy who never wished to grow up.
Now about James.
He had many talents that people were envious of. However, as I mentioned above, he was arrogant and so full of himself. Lily was right about feeling disgusted by the boy in the early years since he was a shenanigan. He was wrong to pick on Snape and, too, throw a spell at him while he was unaware and unarmed. How he publicly humiliated Snape can never be forgiven.
However, the reason why some Snape fans do not understand why James is considered to be better as a person than Snape is because he reflected on his past and grew up. There are definitely some James fans who justify the bullying, which is very wrong. However, if we were to talk about the unbiased Potterheads, James seems more redeemable than Snape. When James was made the head boy in the final year, he gave up on his stupid antics and lived up to the role and responsibilities.
It was actually Sirius who had a huge dislike towards Snape and wanted to trap him when Snape was desperate to find out Remus' secret and expose it to everyone. He had led Snape to the werewolf form of Remus, and James had to step in to save Snape from the danger.
After their final year at Hogwarts, James actively indulged himself in the 'Order of the Phoenix' to protect Muggle-borns, half-bloods, and half-breeds, who were in danger since Voldemort was rising to power and he was gathering more followers.
Let's keep feminism aside and not taint its name since feminism has nothing to do with romance.
(We are only here to debate why Lily chose James over Snape, not to justify James and Lily's relationship. Personally, both of them are a pile of shit.)
Lily chose a man who changed for her; a man who reflected upon his mistakes and improved himself just for her, a man who wanted to protect her from danger and protect everyone around her.
She gave up on a man who made her feel less, a man who insulted and looked down upon people like her, a man who claimed to protect her but ruined people around her.
She was a simple woman who chose a person who valued her, not devalued her.
So, my dear women (not just women, but everyone!), if you ever wish to be in a relationship, choose a person who is willing to improve themselves for you, protect you, and respect you. Do not choose a person who would want you to change yourself entirely for them and be forgiven every time due to sympathy.
Edit: Find a Ron. Both James and Snape are shitty people. If you ever find someone like those two, run as far as you can.
Believe me, I've had many friends in the past who made me feel less and made me change myself for them. I hung around them since I was not a social butterfly and had only them as close friends. But every time I hung around them, I would only feel insecure and disappointed.

The argument about Snape being an abusive teacher actually falls apart pretty quickly when you remember he did not support Umbridge in any single way and in fact made things deliberately difficult for her.
Had Snape been abusive, or sadistic, wanting to hurt the children, he would have openly supported and sucked up to Umbridge (like Filch did).
And he wouldn't be supplying her with fake Veritaserum or risking being put on probation for being "deliberately unhelpful".

The nickname “Snivellus” derives from the word “snivel,” which means crybaby. So, Snivellus was basically a way of mocking the fact that Severus might show his emotions—that instead of toughing it out like a stereotypical, macho, strong, hairy-chested man, he cried. I don’t think I need to explain why this nickname is problematic—any nickname used to bully someone is problematic—but a nickname that also references a supposed weakness, stemming from the expectations of a patriarchal society for men to display “unmanly” behavior typical of “weak” men, is not just problematic due to the bullying itself but also because of the misogynistic implications it carries. Because yes, misogyny and hegemonic gender roles also affect men by demanding certain traits from them to validate them socially. And I know the Marauders lived in the 1970s, and that Rowling is one of the worst when it comes to gender issues. But I find it quite ironic how Marauders Stans or Slytherin Skittles, who have built their trash fandom and constant Snape-bashing around the topic of LGBTQ+ themes, have the audacity to mock Snape using a nickname that directly attacks gender nonconformity and justifies a toxic, traditional masculinity that shames men who cry or show emotions, labeling them as less valid.
The Marauders weren’t social justice warriors, and James and Sirius, in particular, embodied the classic values of male success through the performance of stereotypical “macho” characteristics: as leaders, as “alphas” of the pack. Both are violent; both are cocky men who try to stand out and mark their territory. Both exhibit behaviors that have typically been excused in men just because they are men, such as abusive and reckless behavior. Their nickname for Severus stems from the idea that showing emotions—especially crying—if you are a man, is a reason for ridicule and mockery because men don’t cry. Men are supposed to be strong, puff out their chests, and keep going because that’s what men do. It’s a misogynistic and archaic mindset that continues to be perpetuated in social models and relationships to this day. And I find it incredibly hypocritical that certain people who claim to hate J.K. Rowling for being a transphobe then go on to appropriate the horribly sexist nicknames she created for a group of heterosexual men embodying toxic masculinity to bully another man for not performing the traditional masculine model expected of someone like him.
Because Severus wasn’t a “macho”. Severus was a studious introvert with a more passive character who didn’t fit into the masculine vision of the time. Everything about him, including his appearance, demeanor, and interests, is unmasculine from a hegemonic perspective given the historical context. But these people don’t care. They’re so limited, so ignorant, and so cynical that they not only ignore these kinds of nuances but even find it funny to reproduce insults that any real-life James Potter would probably have used against them.
Make no mistake: James Potter and Sirius Black wouldn’t have been your friends. They would have tortured you as much, if not more, than Snape. And that’s the most pathetic part of their fandom, unfortunately.

“And My Soul, Dumbledore?” — The Case for Snape Never Killing Before That Night
We often talk about The Prince’s Tale as the final reveal of Severus Snape’s true loyalties—but there’s a moment in that chapter that gets overshadowed by the big memories, the Patronus, the “Always.” And yet it might be the most damning and revealing line in the entire series.
It’s this:
“And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?”
Let’s sit with that for a second.
Snape is being asked to kill. Not for power, not for punishment, not for vengeance—but out of mercy. Dumbledore is dying. The end is already written. All he’s asking for is dignity.
And Snape balks.
He doesn’t recoil at the strategic risk. He doesn’t flinch at the morality of sparing Dumbledore’s life.
He flinches because of the possibility that this will damage his soul.
This isn’t the voice of a killer.
That one line unearths so much about who Snape is beneath the persona—beneath the spy, the double agent, the snarling teacher. It reveals that he has not taken a life before.
Because if he had? This would be a non-issue. He wouldn’t need to ask. The damage would already be done. The soul, already torn.
But instead, he stops and asks:
Will this be the thing that breaks me?
That’s the cry of a man standing on a line he hasn’t crossed.
And the fact that he still believes in the soul at all is deeply significant.
Let’s compare him to real killers in the series:
• Voldemort doesn’t flinch at murder—he does it for power, to fracture his soul on purpose.
• Bellatrix (and many other Death Eaters) kills for sport.
But Draco, when faced with the same choice, cannot do it. Harry, even in war, casts Expelliarmus.
And Snape—the supposed villain of the early books, the morally ambiguous double agent—asks if his soul will survive it.
He’s not worried about punishment. He’s worried about what killing will do to him.
That is not the thought process of a man with blood on his hands.
Dumbledore’s response is everything:
“You alone know whether it will harm your soul.”
Not “Your soul’s already lost.”
Not “It won’t make a difference.”
Not even “You have no choice.”
Dumbledore leaves it to him.
That means he believes Snape still has something to lose.
He wouldn’t ask this of someone whose soul was already fractured. He asks it of Snape because he knows this will be his first and only kill.
The implication is enormous.
This is a man who has done horrific things. He’s served Voldemort. He’s used dark magic. He’s endangered children.
But he has never killed. Not once.
And when he finally does, it’s to:
• Honour a dying man’s wishes.
• Spare a child’s soul (Draco’s).
• End suffering, not prolong it.
And even then, it tears at him.
So what does that make him?
A villain? An anti-hero? A deeply damaged man trying to atone? Maybe all of the above.
But not a murderer.
Not by choice. Not by pattern.
Just once. And it nearly breaks him.

Marauders fans just be having double standards on the point they proud themselves the most on: Diversity
They be like "let's make James brown" (ik that it's in the whole fandom in general but ykwim) and reject the Jewish-looking guy
They be like "let's make Lily obese" and reject the underweight guy
They be like "let's make Regulus abused" and reject the canonically abused guy
They be like "let's make Regulus get groomed into joining the DEs" and reject the canonically groomed guy
They be like "let's make Barty's actions look right by saying it was for love" and reject the guy who did everything for the girl he loved (platonically or not)
Double standards, double standards everywhere.
Diversity only exists if Snape is not involved

🥰 I’M SO SORRY GUYS 🥰
I’ve seen a lot of people headcanon that Snape would see Lily in the mirror of erised and I think that’s cool and all- however- I have a different headcanon.
I feel like Severus wouldn’t see Lily. He wouldn’t see the staff or the students there either. Not even his parents. He wouldn’t see the death eaters, Voldemort or anyone he knew. Only one person…
Himself. Happy. He would see himself smiling. Not a creepy forced smile that is so fake it’s obvious, but a genuine happy smile. A smile so big and pure plastered over his face. A smile of an innocent young wizard.
He would see himself smiling, happy instead of himself with others he knew. Because more than anything else. He wants to experience happiness. The people around him have only ever caused him pain and suffering. Sadness and heartbreak. Loneliness and eternal solitude. What he would desire more than anything else is to just live a peaceful happy life.
Having those he cares about around him and actually care for him back would be a bonus. Though that’s not what he sees, because he just wants happiness more than anything else. Happiness doesn’t just come from friends and family. You can be alone and happy. That’s why all he would see is himself smiling back at him. With a big, bright innocent smile. He just wants to be happy.

I don't care what anyone says. Snape is the most tragic fucking character in the whole HP series. From the moment he was born till the day he died. HE. WAS. TRAGIC. And he was doomed from the start.

Thoughts; Snaters (and general haters) only seem to care about children being mistreated when it has something to do with Snape or a child that's established as the "bad child".
Snape says anything critical about Neville, he's the devil incarnate. McGonagall publicly ridicules Neville and leaves him stranded with a murderer on the loose. *crickets*
Snape makes a bitchy comment about Hermione's teeth, grab your torch and pitchfork. Trelawney insults Hermione repeatedly. *Crickets*
Barty turns 14yo Draco into an animal and physically beats him against the stone floor, making Draco scream in pain. Barty performs the torture and killing spells in front of children who lost their families to those spells. *Barty fans invent a fanon that has Barty being a sweet lost lamb*
Hagrid performs body modification on an 11yo Dudley, who he doesn't know and certainly has no jurisdiction over, resulting in Dudley needing corrective surgery. Fans; *Good old Hagrid*
So bullying and child endangerment is acceptable if it's by a popular character or comic relief? Physical child abuse is acceptable if it's towards a child you don't like?
So, is Snape bitchy? Yes. But the monster they like to make him out to be? Hell no. In fact, compared to what the others do, he's a freaking delight.
I know I've posted things like this before, but I just had another Snater try to pull the same arguments again and the double standards are just mind blowing and makes my blood boil.

Today I'm talking a lot about Lily. For a fictional girl she sure has my attention. I love redheads with green eyes. Usually I wrote my male gay MC's like that or my female heterosexual MC's. She has a lot of potential. In her Hogwarts life she was a sheltered princess of some sort. The queen bee so to speak. The leader.
Wouldn't be childish to say that her friends also probably hyped her up that a leader like her deserves a leader like James as a boyfriend. Probably could've been a key element in her and James dating. Would only mean she's easily swayed by the crowd.
Anyway, aside that. People, people, people. Sit down will you. Especially the marauders fans and Lily fans. I haven't met many comments telling me that JKR admitted that she cried while writing Remus his story. Or the ones that call Lily a saint. But to me one is too much already. L Let's take this out a bit into reality.
You see, JKR wrote those characters. However you may deny it, she wrote your precious Lily, James, Remus, Sirius and Peter. As you read the books. Her popular girls are kind of pick-me or one-of-the-boys vibe.
That implies a girl or woman behaving in a certain way, to get attention or approval from her male peers. Or behavior they show that is more typical for boys. The last one isn't bad, it's just in those books of her, these girls are placed on a pedestal and popular. While the other ones who are more in touch with their feminine side, are basically spit on, which IS the problem. Talking about Cho here.
She wrote Remus as an inspiration of Aids and homosexuality that so-called preyed on younger kids. In other words, she thought homosexuals were predators.
She wrote death eaters as a Nazi inspiration which is very insensitive to do so, especially from her era where many victims were still alive and in pain. Not to mention that comparing her fiction to an actual real life happening was completely overboard, inconsiderate and inhumane.
That's her role model. How do people think that THAT woman could create iconic good characters? Her own reality seeps into the characters. Discrimination and mysoginistic value especially.
Sure, many of you would say now "she may be like that, but what she writes is different"
Is she? If she is entitled and condescending enough to word online on how she supports and hates people, it's not exactly hiding or shying away from that dirty truth within herself. She enjoys her truth, she basks in the glory of her truth. The woman hates asexuals, trans and kind of has a bad view on homosexuality all together as the pictures below demonstrate.
How do you think she shaped Lily? The iconic woman of her dreams? Her Lily would not be pro anything, because it is JKR's Lily.
James? Her so-called loveable popular idiot? Same story.
Same with Sirius.
That's the funny thing. They were discriminating. They were discriminating Snape for being poor. They discriminated Remus for being a lycan. James only wanted to get in Lily's pants. I mean, who bullies a crush their friend, threatens, extorts the crush and in the end breaks a promise with their crush after they got together.
Lily too. Discriminates her friend for being a Slytherin. Her own sister discriminates Snape for being poor. I mean, there is so much in there going on, that people prefer to overlook and focus on the end product. Snape called lily a mudblood, Snape joined DE, Snape scared Neville and so on.
Nobody suddenly cares for the journey. Calling their characters either saintly, heroic and good. Well, how good are they if JKR sees DE, that she previously stated as a role model fo Nazi, is now trans people in her eyes. And the asexuals are fake oppressed.
Ironically, she hated her chemistry teacher John Nettleship. A feminist, someone that advocated for improved disability access. But I think this link will explain it better than me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, you see? Your favourite characters don't mean a lot (talking to you snaters) if the woman who wrote it has a very cheap view on women, feminism, genocide, homosexuality, trans and the LGBTQ community. It doesn't mean much. Really.
Her favorites are obviously based off on her own views that she liked. And look at what she hates. James, Lily, Sirius and Remus were bound to fall any time now. That you prefer YOUR James, Sirius, Lily, Remus or actual DE as your favourites because of fanon. That is not my problem you do you.
Just know, if you talk shit about Snape. He was based off of a good person, meanwhile your crack characters are her dream boat. Her good guys are basically wrong guys and wrong guys are basically good guys based on her view of reality.

One thing that never fails to shock me is how many Marauder stans I’ve seen hating on Draco for saying this line to Hermione in GoF:
“Granger, they’re after Muggles,” said Malfoy. “D’you want to be showing off your knickers in midair? Because if you do, hang around . . . they’re moving this way, and it would give us all a laugh.”
Yet somehow they can’t apply that same logic to what happened in SWM:
James whirled about; a second flash of light later, Snape was hanging upside down in the air, his robes falling over his head to reveal skinny, pallid legs and a pair of graying underpants.
Many people in the small crowd watching cheered. Sirius, James, and Wormtail roared with laughter.
I’ve seen Marauder stans who bash Draco and call him horrible for “making a SA joke,” but then go ahead and defend what the Marauders did (which was ACTUAL SA, not just a gross joke) in SWM as if that’s not much worse. The irony is ridiculous.
That’s always confused me because… they can clearly see the harm in a character making a SA joke, but they gloss over or even justify their favourites characters actually doing what said character joked about??? Make it make sense.

Blaming Snape for creating Sectumsempra is like blaming a woman for carrying pepper spray in her bag for self-defense after being repeatedly harassed by a specific group of men. Can you really blame a victim for creating a weapon to protect themselves against their tormentors, while at the same time praising the Marauders' ingenuity for creating tools to spy on, stalk, and invade others' privacy purely for fun and bullying?
What kind of ridiculous logic is that?!

“Harry on liquid luck is literally James😆😆”
Don’t piss me off we both know that James has like four scenes, why are we disrespecting Harry like that.
My man did not spend every year of his life being bullied and abused, facing dangerous and potentially deadly situations while being a preteen/teenager, and then defeating the dark lord just for you to be comparing him (and implying that he is somehow lesser than in some aspects) to his father who’s only canon information we know is that he was rich, bullied a boy for being ugly, poor, and Slytherin, and harassed a girl to date him and tried to threaten her best friend to go out with her
They don’t compare, Harry is who James thought he was
