Remus stepping in front of Harry to stop the boggot, showing off his fear of the moon, kicking off Hermonie’s theory he’s a werewolf, completely risking his identity, all because he feared Voldemort (probably on the back of Harry’s own head like a Luke’s head in Vader’s helmet type shit) because that would give the kids so many nightmares.

I think about it a lot

James and Severus’ relationship (canonically)

Okay so this is a very random and VERY long rant, so beware! I just need to share it with someone bc I’ve been annoyed with this for a long time lol.

In this fandom I now and then come across the "war" between Severus Snape defenders and James Potter defenders. I want to make it very clear here in the beginning that I am not defending anyone. I just think it’s a quite lob-sided argument on both sides.

I am in this post going to use the original seven Harry Potter books as source because I find it extremely weird when people use fan fiction in this kind of debate. Like I could write a fanfic rn where Snape is the loveliest person to ever walk this earth, but that would make this topic impossible to debate. Same thing goes for James. We cannot talk about how he was as an adult because we don’t know. All we know are that his closest friends through he was a great wizard, but they thought that when he was in school too. He might have been as lovely as he is in the fics, and he might not have been. The point is, it’s not relevant to this discussion.

Snape is a half blood, comes from a poor family where he is abused and neglected. His background, his not very respected family name, and the fact that he is pretty…uncharismatic… gives him a huge disadvantage from the beginning. This obviously makes him a very easy target, and to me it’s not so strange that he makes “friends” with the, from his perspective, strongest people in his house. He doesn’t want to become a target and he wants help to get away from his past.

James, on the other hand, is a pure blood, comes from a very rich and respected family, and he is VERY charismatic. This makes him extremely popular and has basically the entire school, including professors, in his back.

In the books it’s also clear that it was the marauders who started the beef with Snape by insulting him on their first ride on the Hogwarts Express. This in time led to Severus following the marauders around, trying to get them expelled. In return, James hexed Severus at every given possibility. This would’ve been pretty fair if James didn’t know he was pretty much untouchable with his status in school.

In the books it also says that James tended to enjoy hexing innocent students for no other reason than because he could. This shows just how arrogant and obnoxious he used to be. It is however said that he did get less stuck-up by the years, which was one of the reasons he and Lilly started dating. He still bullied Severus though, so he wasn’t all hugs and kisses.

After school, James and Severus naturally stayed away from each other. Snape followed his newly made “friends” and went down the dark path, following Voldemort. In his death-eater career he was very successful and one of Voldemort’s closer followers. He is the reason Voldermort knew about the prophecy and killed the Potters. When Snape begged Dumbledore for forgiveness, he basically said that he had tried to make Voldermort to keep Lilly alive but kill the rest. Dumbledore saw his opportunity and recruited Snape as his spy and after the war he protected him by taking him in as a professor.

Up to this point, I can kind of see where Snape is coming from. He was selfish, scared and a bit greedy. He wanted to get Voldermort’s approval and he wanted to gain from his success. He basically wanted to get as far away from the life he left behind as possible, which I can kind of relate to.

When he starts working at Hogwarts however, he bullies his students into fearing him, abusing his power as a professor. I mean he is so bad that Neville’s boggart is impersonating him. Neville has been through a lot, loosing both his parents, been bullied and been living with his very strict grandmother. Despite all this, his professor, whom part of his future relies on, is the thing he fears the most.

I don’t care what Snape does in the last two books, bc nothing from the point when he became an adult to his death can be excused. When he was in school, I personally think with the circumstances that James was worse, and he didn’t really get a chance to redeem himself from that.

Yeah okay that’s it. Sorry if I got a bit carried away. If I got some information wrong or if I missed something, please correct me. Can I send this to my English teacher as an essay instead of the one on the social media I’m writing? Would that count?

I’m also in a bit of a drawing slump and I also have mountains of assignments and tests in front of me so I won’t be posting for a while. I’m sorry about that

Edit: Someone pointed out that Snape confessed to Dumbledore before the Potters died, which ofc is correct and my brain just got it a bit mixed up. Thank you @maruke2003 for pointing it out!

“We in this generation are by destiny rather than choice- the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of “peace on earth, good will toward men." That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: "except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain?”

Jkr is kinda redundant within the marauders fandom.

everyone has just accepted their all gay. All of them. Not a single soul isn’t at least a little bit fruity.

“ugh {insert fanon character} fans are so annoying they don’t even exist!”

NONE OF THEM EXIST??? IT’S A FICTIONAL WORLD???

[leiafett]

The Patronus Charm is advance magic, not even magic they teach at Hogwarts. So the fact Harry thought it was important enough to teach his friends, I think it’s really sweet.

[dropssofjupitter]

personally i don’t support JKR too but can i ask y u don’t cos idk how to explain to my friend y not to

Hello my love! I'd be more than happy to help!

To put it bluntly, JKR has shown multiple times that she is racist and transphobic, and seems to have little to no remorse for her actions. She has been labeled as a TERF by the community (one that I personally find fitting) and by multiple media-outlets.

She has posted tweets claiming that trans-women should not be allowed to use women's' restrooms, and queer-baited both the community and her fanbase multiple times.

The main cause of her racism was simply her depiction of POC characters in the Harry Potter franchise. For example, she named the only Asian character Cho Chang, and placed her in Ravenclaw, which feeds into harmful and hurtful Asian stereotypes. (Here's an essay from CalPoly as a more in depth look as to why her character is problematic)

Here are a few links to the other incidents mentioned:

Four Major Controversies of JK Rowling

Guideline of Transgender Comments by JKR

I attempted to find some articles that thoroughly explained the situation while still discussing what I was focusing on. I still highly recommend that you do your own research into the subject, especially if you're going to be talking to your friend about it! It's important that you see both points of view on the matter and decide for yourself whether the evidence is sufficient. Please do not immediately take my word and opinion for it I am a stranger on the internet lol.

I hope this was useful and helpful for you! Please let me know if you need any further clarification at all nonnie, I'm happy to help :)

Also! If anyone sees anything incorrect on here, please let me know and I'll fix it right away!
