Started reading drarry fics a year ago and I haven't read the books in like almost 8 years, so I don't remember all the little details, in fics I always read how Snape is Draco's godfather and I started thinking it was canon cause literally almost every fic has it! But now I found out is not canon, bye I'm heartbroken 💔

Fandom is our playground (and do not give terfling any money) but I do recommend going back to the original text to refresh on details/characterizations from time to time!

Nuances can get lost in the mix and I think the power differential & dynamics between the Malfoys and Snape is intriguing actually. Starting with little Snape sort of under Lucius’ wing and ending the series with Narcissa having to ask for his help while Lucius’ has lost his standing above him within the DEs.

How Snape interacts with Draco within that changing context is quite interesting even without any given titles in my opinion!

#like… both lucius and narcissa outranked him wrt blood status and class - that matters & lucius was def aware of that and its pot benefits #and yet it was snape who could and did *actually* look out for their son #also we know snape and he probably resented that hierarchy *and* the fact that L gets to have a happy loving family #when they murdered the only person he ever cared about & who made him happy tbh #but thats not on draco and snape has trouble separating sons from their fathers - but he still helped & probably did care despite himself #asks #draco malfoy #severus snape #narcissa malfoy #lucius malfoy #malfoy family
