Rowling addressed the topic today in a series of comments about the potions master, centering on why Harry Potter named one of his sons after him. It started with a fan asking J. The author went on with a few more thoughts about the choice to give young Albus Severus his name…. But I never interpreted that big reveal as proof that Snape felt any love or even like for Harry, or that it somehow undid his past behavior.
When it came to Harry, he seemed much more willing to bestow the hatred he felt for James than any love he felt for Lily. See his interactions with Harry throughout the entire run of the series for evidence of that. And J. Rowling gets it — she does. But Snape, like most mortals, is more complex than the reductionist view offered by this fan would suggest:.
I'm genuinely curious as he was nothing but abusive towards everyone. As Rowling explained in a series of tweets, Snape loved Harry's mother, Lily, and his unrequited affection drove him to resent Harry's father, James — and by extension, Harry himself. But, despite his maltreatment of Harry and the complicated killing of headmaster Dumbledore who knew he was a double agent?
Stag is the anamigus form of james. Also, this makes Lily a ''gold digging cheater I say another word but fandom is iffy and I don't want to ban ''. Harry's patronus is a stag and Severus Snape's is a doe, so they're quite different and Harry looks like his father which is why Severus hates him.
Your mom needs to watch Harry Potter more, since she is unfortunately wrong in this theory. Not that your Patronus is in any way based on family. But Snape is always, always helping Harry and them bumping heads as they do, well I wouldn't have been surprised. It seems to me that your sister was trying to read inbetween the lines. She was putting MORE thought into than most people who read the books.
Flickerflame said: I think people like your sister, given how you explain it, just haven't read the books and gotten the entire story, so they get confused. It could have been easy to mix up Snape's confession of a decades long unrequited love for the pair of them having been in love.
In the books, the resemblance between James and Harry is pretty much stuffed down our throats, but it isn't possible to find two unrelated actors who'd be that similar. Other people just like conspiracy theorising. The idea of Harry being Snape's illegitimate son is just more interesting to them. They like the twist. ChamberofHarrys said: Who asks this kind of question? Muggles these days.
Persephone said: Can We dream it? I dont like James and Lily - yes even-though I know we wouldn't have Harry, - he is the only good thing that came from them. Snape and Lily make a better couple.
To answer your question they were probably speaking hypothetically, or in a wishful thinking kind of way, or that Snape was a father-figure by protecting Harry all his life. Cause obviously James is Harry's father but some prefer he wasnt.
The reason? Search engines. I typed in "When Harry finds out How hilarious Flickerflame posted over a year ago. JennaAdelaide said: Ok, Snape was a death eater and if the death eaters and voldermont were the people who killed Harry's mum and dad why would snape help kill his wife and attempt to help voldermont kill harry obvioulsly guys THINK. They think that Snape is the real father because the whole time he spent odd amount of time watching Harry and making sure he didn't screw up and not just because Dumbledore "Was raising him like a pig for slaughter.
And maybe they thought that because of Snapes memories of Lily and how he really did Love her and still did until he died. Well hope this wasn't to bad I tried my best. James Potter who is good in quidditch. Snape as the father of Harry! So unbelievable!
Meganee16 said: Who has ever heard of Severus Potter anyway? My 9 year old has read all of the books and watched the movies with me and he is questioning the same thing now. At first he told me there was no way, Snape and Lily had the same doe petronus because they were best friends and loved each other. But, today when I was watching Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry tells Hermione that it was his father's petronus that saved him and when she asks how he knows, he replies, "I feel it in my soul".
There are several other times the movies elude to this idea but this was the main one that caught my attention. It's also why Tonks' patronus had changed into a wolf form in the sixth book, because she loved Lupin.
I can't remember if they included that detail in the film or not, though. People tell me how it's more detailed but I get where and why people think snape is Harry's father. Well for one, some make fanfictions and theories about the story. And two, a lot of things in the movies suggest snaps is always protecting him and helping him.
He mightve said "you're just like you're swine of a father" but when I heard that he said father as if in inverted commas. Also looks can be deceiving as Harry's hair could've been a mix of Lily's and snapped to brown.
Also most kids want to look like their parents. The only thing making James and Harry look alike is the glasses and hair plus they're just actors anyway. Also the doe spell can't spell it matches lilys who he can mean a multiple of things. Maybe he loved her still, maybe they were blood related or maybe had the same memory. In all fairness, it's better not to know. Leaves mystery in our minds to imagine what we think.
You shouldn't say someone is stupid for not reading the novels or thinking "what of snape was the father". I'm sorry but it's a novel full of mystery and people make up theories all the time eg the one about longbottom being the one child. Both books and movies were and are great : and one day I will hopefully be able to read them. Just my opinion and sorry if I offend.
Fangirl said: So the first time I say DH pt. I read the first book and I instantly knew that Snape was an enemy of Harry. Even just from his name, Snape, it sounds like snake, usually associated with evil. Plus, James is even in the movie!
No one ever asked that question, but I knew right off the bat that he wasn't his dad. Both Snape and Lily's protronus was a doe Including Harry's.
After Voldemort killed Harry, he and Dumbledor were talking at the "Parting" and Harry asked Dumbledor "My mother's protronus was a doe, and so was snape's It's a bit curious don't you think? The fact that Harry named his son partially after Snape 19 years after the battle. Dumbledor I can understand, but Snape??? I would have used Sirius Black instead since after all, he was Harry's godfather and that they really did not get to bond for very long about 2 years Even though it was himself But still James' Animagus form was a stag, hence the nickname of Prongs.
It's possible his Patronus was also a stag the only character whose Animagus form and Patronus have both been seen is Professor McGonagall, and hers are both cats.
Harry inherited the stag form from James. It isn't a doe which has changed gender. Harry gave his eldest son the middle name Sirius. He named Albus Severus because he admired Snape's courage in spying, and possibly felt guilty for having doubted and hated the man throughout his life. About point 2, what Dumbledore meant was that a Patronus changing shape from love and loss isn't something curious, it's normal.
He's always had a crush on her even when they started Hogwarts. When Lily got sorted into Gryffindor, and Snape into Slytherin, he got a bit envious and started disliking James. RelishRedshoes said: I am certain the cruel reveal of Vader as Luke Skywalker's father a generation ago has left a mark on pop culture's psyche so people always consider it as a possibility now.
Moreover, despite being spiteful and bitter he did act in loco parentis on occasion such as shielding the children from Werewolf Lupin and trying to scare off Quirrell They are much clearer in the films, where the storytelling is necessarily condensed and storytelling breadcrumbs happen with a second on film instead of spread over dozens of pages.
