@princesideprince finding a new way to gain immortality. and it's rage 😂
Upon rereading HBP, I can't believe they chose to discard all the emotions portrayed in this scene from the movie. In my opinion, this particular moment holds great significance in comprehending the core of Severus' character.
Harry had dived for his wand; Snape shot a hex at it and it flew away into the darkness and out of sight.
“Kill me then,” panted Harry, who felt no fear at all, but only rage and contempt. “Kill me like you killed him, you coward-“
“DON’T-,” screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them-“CALL ME COWARD!”
Although movie!Snape did show some regret after killing Dumbledore, it pales in comparison to the emotional breakdown that the book version of Snape had. Not only was he called a coward for something he regretted doing, but he also had to deal with Harry's attempts to use his spells against him, which likely triggered his worst memory.
