I always thought that it was just Harry's innate compassion that drove him to approach Snape. No matter how much he hated Snape, in that moment Snape was a human being in a terrible situation and Harry felt a need to do something. It was instinctive, not a conscious thought or action.
Yep and he even did the same with Voldemort when he told him he felt sorry for him cause he'll never know love or friendship. He wouldn't even use the killing curse on him because as bad as he had made Harry's life he still chose to be the better man
@@BlackangelKatakuri which makes Voldemort’s book death so much more meaningful, Harry still feels bad because Voldemort dies like a human. Harry knew it was necessary but hated doing it.
In a similar way, he rescued Draco Malfoy in the Room of Requirement even though Draco just tried to attack him. Even when he could have died saving him because of the Fiendfyre curse bouncing around.
Lucius was an amazing father 2 draco and he loved him with everything in him. It was always the 3 of them(Draco Narcissa Lucius) in their true loyalties
@Mr Doctors13 yeah Lucius certainly loved his son, wanted to protect him, and to have him be happy and successful but unfortunately had some pretty harmful beliefs that he and his wife passed to their son...and they spoiled him rotten.
Fooling the Dark Lord by being a Double Agent for Dumbledore for 17 years showed how much of a skilled wizard Snape was. A Master of Oclumency. A unbelievable DADA expert.
Especially because The Dark Lord knowing almost everything Snape was amazingly secretive. How he was so hurt, to bully Harry but was forced to. Hurt by killing Dumbledoor as Dumbledoor wanted him to kill him Snape always wanted to live a happy life taking care of the boy who lived. Snape was truly truly loyal. Snape risked his life..for his loved boy, Either you believe it or not, Snape deserved everything, even deserve his first love..
@@f2r1d4 he bullied Harry by his own free will, snape didn’t care for Harry, but for Lily. He’s not a good dude bc he did it all for selfish reasons but it doesn’t negate the fact he did those good things
The story of Snape is always so sad to hear. To be a double agent like that is very dangerous, all for a woman he couldn't have. All to protect the boy she gave birth to with another man. He was a true hero and a man with true feelings
If not for becoming a death eater and likely killing innocent people while a death eater I'd agree. That's the only thing keeping him from truly being good
Harry was the son he would've had, who would've resembled him instead of James, who's eyes would carry on his love for Lily, even after she died a natural death, not one at the hands of Lord Voldemort, for they would, in that case, be a family on his side.
I think there are a few things here. 1.) Tampering with a memory isn't easy to do without leaving signs. Slughorn couldn't even do it. Slughorn's tampered memory in the glass phial appeared to be congealed like it had spoiled or something and odd things happened while the memory was being viewed in pensive. There's no way Snape in the state he was in, would have been able to tamper with his memories and make them flawless. 2.) Given how guarded Snape was about his memories in Order of the Phoenix (he removed certain memories and put them in the pensive before occlumency lesson with Harry) and given how angry Snape became when he caught Harry sneaking a peek at those memories. It is safe to say that Snape would never give up those memories willingly even if he was dying unless it was important. Harry knew there had to be crucial information in those memories. Harry may have even been apprehensive at first while viewing Snape memories in the pensive but I think when he got to the memory of his father humiliating Snape, Harry knew then that he could trust Snape. Given how Snape reacted when Harry saw the memory the first time he knew that Snape would have never allowed him to see that memory again unless it were important.
The fact that he was able to deny The Dark Lord entering his mind all these years and prevent him from knowing about him being a Double Agent showed how much he mastered Oclumency and what a highly skilled wizard Snape was
Harry reluctantly admired/trusted Snape even before Deathly Hallows. He saw Half Blood Prince as a friend and guide who helped him. He hoped it was his father. He defended that boy even after Sectumsempra. Harry felt safe and hopeful when he saw Snape's patronus and immediately trusted her. But also one of Harry's greatest strengths was his forgiving nature & he was always a curious boy.
No he didn't! He hated Snape even more after the 6th year. At the end he slowly forgave Snape, but I still thank he was a bully with authority, protected from all because of Dumbledore & Voltemort.
@@joeyshofner639 I did say "reluctantly", in case you missed. His trust grew after the memories once he realized his book friend was on his side all along. Snape's bullying is irrelevant to my comment. Why do you feel the need to bring it up?
I always wondered why no one caught on Snape was a… triple agent? (Good guy pretending to be a bad guy pretending to be a good guy). No matter how many times Snape was mean to the trio, he also threw himself in front of them when “Mooney” turned into a werewolf and tried to teach Harry to protect his mind from Voldemort even after Dumbledore was gone & not there to push him.
i had always thought that seeing that snapes motives were driven by love , and that dumbledore always said love was a magic beyond anything was the reason
Also one of snapes memories was earning dumbledores trust by showing him his patronus was a doe (indicating he actually does love lily). Plus harry already had firsthand experience with the doe kind of helping him. So, harry finally understood why dumbledore trusted snape, and was similarly convinced by the same proof
True. However, Snape's doe response was also a repudiation of any feelings may have had for Harry. Dumbledore was asking him if he cared for Harry and his response was the doe. He cared for Lily, not Harry, any display of concern was Harry was rooted in his obsessive love for Lily and her sacrifice.
I always wondered if he was already aware he was close to dying in real life when he played Snape's death scene. It's my understanding he kept his disease a secret but I don't know for how long. It must be so deeply moving to play a death scene of a character you've played for so many years when you are contemplating your own. Amazing artist
In the books he didnt mention pensieve and it wasnt tears (you don’t put tears into pensieve) that he asked Harry to take but it was obvious for Harry what to do because Snape gave him that white stuff of thoughts that Harry saw before when Dumbledore was taking it out couple of years before to his pensieve and he knew very well what to do with it.
We have already seen that memories can be altered in the pensieve. The memories are only as accurate as the wizard producing them want them. Slugghorn never forgot his encounter with Tom, but the pensieve was still inaccurate, and Harry knew all about that. If he didnt trust snape then he might not have listened
I love how he always saw the bad, always sad James’s face. But in his last moment he finally saw light again, let go of the pain and saw Lily’s eyes. I see a form of self liberation, unlocking the heavy chains he carried all his life.
Snape was smart enough to know about the connection to Voldemort as well and intentionally being "mean" helped make his oculemency more believable. That and it helped hide his true allegiance to Harry and Dumbledore.
Nah he definitely did it out of his own pettiness and harsh feelings towards James. He did it from the moment he met the kid and that was before any connection with the Dark Lord was known.
Definitely not wrong but a small part of myself believes it could have been a contributing factor that helped hide his allegiance to Dumbledore and Harry and the spite could have been what kept him motivated to keep it up especially after realizing the connection even if Dumbledore figured it out and told Snape about Harry's unintended connection with Voldemort.
Impossible, even if Harry wanted to bond with him Snape would never get over his grudge and forgive Harry for James's mistakes. Snape thought that Harry was amused by what he saw in the Pensieve so he knocked him on the floor and then started yelling and throwing stuff at him
@@maraudentium2607 More like he was too damaged. But when Harry sees his memory of his father and friends bullying Shape it looks as though he wants to sympathize with him
Love drove the entire series man..... The entire series.... Just imagine if snape had been on the dark side Dumbledore would have had to hold his breath until voldemort was finally defeated coz snape was a person only 2 people could handle voldy and dumbleedore!!! And my god it would have been almost an impossible task to finish those horcruxes.... They would have had to start from harry's 5th year itself
A wonderful video that tries to answer a very crucial question! I always had the idea that true feelings, our "aura", the reality of who we really are always shines through, especially to those we care about the most. To me, Harry trusted Snape because their whole existence had led them to that final moment of truth, redemption, liberation, "catharsis" for them both. No amount of magic or prejudice could stop things happening the way they did; that is probably why Hermione and Ron consent to this as well It's one of those moments where the whole universe is conspiring to help you.
Yes, I think this is also underlined in the scene where Harry meets Snape’s Patronus. It is like a a projection of Snape’s soul and Harry feels like he has been waiting for it, like they had arranged to meet, as if he had been subconsciously sensing that there was more to Snape and that he would eventually meet his true self.
I always wondered if Harry looking at Snape with anger and Snape seeing that anger coming from his green eyes...the eyes that reminded him of Lily...ever brought Snape pain or regret? Almost like "How dare you treat my boy this way, Severus!"
Have you thought about doing a video about all the actors from the movies that have died in real life? It seems that quite a few people who were in the movies have passed away.
I can relate to Snape losing a loved one is hard especially if u truly cared for that person you would do anything to keep that person safe even if you don’t win them over you’ll still care for them… Always.
I think Harry instinctively knew that Snape dying and murdered by Voldemort had no incentive to give him memories for the pensieve unless it was something extremely important. I kinda think of it this way, why would a man just betrayed and killed do something to AID their killer lol. Harry new something was up.
Not sure I feel the second possibility about putting Harry in a compromising position. Harry sees nagini attack snape. Everyone in the wizarding world (except wand makers) believe the elder wand is won by killing. Not by disarming. Even Harry, Ron and hermione believe this until speaking to Ollivander. Voldemort truly believed snape was the owner, hence why he was killed. Even with that, the wand ownership is not guaranteed. It is a rare occurrence but it can change its allegiance on its own accord.
Snape...... Ahhh snape the man!!! I can say nothing about him.... Generally I m one of those who will NVR give snape complete redemption, but only to compensate the part where he helped.... But ohh god I cried between the video 😭😭
I love your videos and I would enjoy seeing a video of the top 10 examples of forgiveness in the HP books. Some examples might be Ron abandoning Harry (on numerous occasions), Dumbledore probably never forgiving himself, Alberforth and Dumbledore, the Wesley family & Percy, Harry & Ron forgiving Lockhart, and Harry and Snape.
Snape was always fasinating for me. He was always secretly my favourite character but I wouldn't say it to anyone considering he was percieved as villainous.
My fave too. He's the most complex and most interesting. Keeps you guessing until the very end. And seriously, Alan Rickman's performance in the films❤️❤️❤️
I always wondered about this. Snape cared really deeply for Harry's mother. He had his reasons not to but chose to do so and got the truth after so many years.
Snape shedding tears and telling Harry to take the tears to the pensieve is something that would have had Harry realising Snape might not be all he thought Snape was. Last time Harry saw Snape's memories he kicked him out, stopped teaching him occlumency lessons so for Snape to spend his last moments crying tears and telling Harry to take them to the pensieve. I think also Harry deep down at some point in deathly hallows maybe in the boat shed while listening to Voldemort or and Snape, Harry might have realised that Snape was actually on his side and Dumbledore had planned his death so Voldemort wouldn't get the wand, plus the amount of times Dumbledore told him he trusts Snape would have hit him at that point as well. Harry was also desperate to find some way to defeat Voldemort without risking anyone else dying at this point so he was no doubt hoping to find something that Dumbledore might have left behind for him.
Considering the 4 serious black was killed serious Sirius did tell Harry that that we all have good and evil within us it's a matter of which you choose. But I personally will go a step further than that yes we both all have darkness and light within ourselves but we have to know how to balance them or align them equally in order to be truly enlightened and as I've said before I think snape was one of the most enlightened ones I've ever encountered in both fiction and fact. Aside from the spiritual leader the Dali Lama
Considering that Snape used his dying moments to extract his memories, Harry wouldn’t really have a reason to distrust him. Plus, the fact you mentioned about Dumbledore having complete trust in Snape.
@@killuasa8399 exactly this. harry didn't get the hang of keeping voldy out of his head, so Dumbledore had to be careful about the information he gave him, otherwise voldy could find out and snapes cover be ruined, the whole plan scrapped. I bet it killed Dumblydor to keep all of that from him (well technically it did kill him lol). I'm curious how things would've gone if snape continued training harry to keep voldy out of his mind, then more information could've been given to him.
Harry in his heart wanted to go to him, after everything I think Harry wanted to go to the person who tormented him at his weakest, at that moment Harry forgotten about his anger towards him he just felt pity and sadness.
Harry surely knew the memories weren't tampered with when he saw them in the Pensieve. the one tampered memory he did see (Slughorn's) involved the entire room repeatedly going blank between parts of the memory. this plus the fact that Snape's biggest motive for doing all of this was love, something Harry knew Voldemort could not understand, is what i think convinced Harry to believe that the Prince's Tale was indeed genuine.
Not getting Harry glasses when he is practically blind without them gets the Dursleys in a lot of trouble. They provided the minimum "care" they had to.
My guess, having not watched the video yet, is that Harry thought he's got nothing to lose viewing the memories. He also probably felt sympathy for Snape for the 2nd time in his life (the 1st being Snape's worst memory) because he was killed so cold blooded and he hated Voldemort more than Snape. As for believing the memories being truthful and not manipulated (like Slughorn did poorly), I don't know. Maybe the pieces just clicked and he felt in his heart it was the truth. Dobby's death stopped his obsession for the Hallows. Likewise, perhaps Snape's death put the grudge away.
I think Snape's counter curse during the quiditch match way back in the beginning is another major reason for Harry to trust him. Think of the risk Snape would have been taking: saving the life of very reason his master was defeated? Also, throughout the entire story, though Harry and Snape clash frequently, can anyone name a single instance where Snape's treatment of Harry doesn't take on a completely different meaning once we know the truth? Alan Rickman was truly one of the greatest actors of all time. Watch the films again and focus all your attention on Snape. Rickman is telling us the monumental secret he was carrying with every subtle glance and microexpression he makes. And thus, Harry too would have discerned that there was more to Snape than met the eye. Anyway, these videos are an absolute joy to watch. So well-written and succinct.
Snape was dying in agony, betrayed by the Dark Lord he had supposedly served all his adult life with literally nothing to lose. Harry never understood Dumbledore's trust in Snape and in that moment was an opportunity to finally confront Dumbledore's murderer. Harry was lost, scared and in need of guidance - from anywhere; even from the man that had bullied and tormented him and his friends including Neville throughout their time at Hogwarts, in that moment Harry had no choice but to trust Snape and Snape had absolutely no reason to lie. I see what Snape did as some magical form of a dying man's final confession and somehow Harry understood that was what this was and I think Hermione's actions showed she had the same understanding of the situation.
Oh god you made me cry for the 1000000000000000th time for snape Long live snape's memories and may Alan Rickman's soul rest in peace and tranquility Always..... 🖤😔
If you're talking about Slughorn's memory, I think that the reason why it congealed was not because it was altered, but because Slughorn didn't do it properly. I'm pretty sure Dumbledore mentions it when showing the false memory to Harry. Snape was a really good Occlumant (not that Slughorn wasn't, but hey, Snape fooled Voldemort's legilimency for years!), so maybe he was also a bit more skilled in altering a memory without people noticing. Just my thoughts 😉
You miss a critically important point: Harry is a kind and compassionate person, motivated by a keen sense of right v. wrong. The same essential character that saves Malfoy in the Room of Requirement is compassionate towards Snape as he lies dying. Compassion is Harry's heroic virtue.
@@matthewbates9629 Draco was about to Crucio Harry. Harry was justified in sending any spell towards Malfoy at that point. Not to mention that Harry didn't know what the spell did, none of the other spell in the HBP book was so severe.
We've seen Slughorn's version of a tampered-with memory. I'l buy that when Slughorn was at Snape's age, he was less skilled than Snape was during the series, but I do believe that "present time-Slughorn" is a more skilled wizard than Snape. So if Slughorn could only make such a sloppy, patchwork job out of tampering with his memory, I'm not entirely sure Snape would be able to make such a neat, seamless tampered memory for Harry to see
I do think Snape was the more skilled wizard of the two, but he was dying. I don't think you can just imagine something and the make it into a "memory". Even if, it would take a lot of skill, and when you're moments away from death, I don't think it could work
i feel the same pain snape went through in his life in mine. although i’m not bullied, i just know what it feels like when people get at snape to those i get at, they get at me of after i get at them. it’s a torment to me because i care for them of all no sympathy and pain i feel! i love them so much my family and those that i hurt, that’s what i fear! myself over my hardships! i don’t like letting my ego get the best of me!
At the boathouse Harry finally witnessed that he and Snape had the same enemy. He had been told for years by numerous people that Snape was part of the Order and seeing him there about to die probably was enough to finally convince him.
I love your harry potter channel. I have some requests i.e. pls make videos on the topic-Sorting Barty Crouch Jnr in Hogwarts House, The Story of Aurelius Dumbledore, what if Voldemort knew that he has a daughter, he would have taken care of her as she is the next Slytherin descendant or he would have killed her? and The relation between Leta Lestrange and Bellatrix Lestrange. Please it's my humble request to you. Please I have been requesting this all for so long now. Pls at least reply...
Actually, the correct reason was that he couldn't get over his hatred of James, and as Harry is the son of his old bully, he didn't want to treat him well.
@@denizkenger52 I mean, I think that the more important word in that definition is _pre-meditated_. I would still qualify werewolves as human, as far as rights are concerned, but if one is attacking you and you fight back and kill them, that would be self-defense, not murder. However, let's say you know Lupin is a werewolf, and you know he goes to a safe place away from innocents when he transforms(Shrieking Shack). If you went out of your way to track him down and kill him, transformed or not, _that_ would be murder. So all in all for DADA, Snape teaching how to fight back against and even kill werewolves is perfectly valid. Though if memory serves, he may have had ulterior motives of exposing Lupin. Might be wrong about that
yes, and didn't he even say: "You have your mother's eyes, HARRY"? Correct me if I'm wrong. Even if Harry did not realise that right away in the heat of the action, that one must have gone straight to his heart; another moment for him to feel that Snape was trustworthy in the end. edit: Just looked it up: seems that scene was just in the movie anyway.
It was also Harry’s last chance at truly understanding why this grown man bullied him for almost 7 years straight. His only chance of learning why Dumbledore trusted him. Why he was a double agent. Why he ever even turned to the Order. There were so many questions and mysteries about this extremely closed off man and I think Harry just had to take that one final chance to present himself and possibly gain answers to these questions
Currently Watching deathly hallows.. got a notification that u posted a vid about deathly hallows.. and while watching ur vid got an ad about harry potter mobile game. Coincidence ? I think NOT !
@@akhilvasudevan3989 Snape was a master occlumens no doubt but can't really say it's 17 years if Voldemort was effectively out of service for fourteen of this years and Snape was "safe" within Hogwarts walls about half of the remaining three years.
Snape wasn’t a bad guy, He was hard on Harry in order to keep him safe. Harry Potter reminded Snape of James that had bullied and embarrassed him for years in front of all Gryffindor during is years in Hogwarts. Harry was blind by hate towards Snape. He never gave the chance to see the good side in Snape until Snape dying moment Harry Potter had seen a lot of people dying from him Harry Potter had realized the reason Snape didn’t like him because he looked like his father, Snape wanted to tell Harry Potter everything but Dumbeldore gave Snape a order to no do so. Harry Potter had only realized that Snape was the only last person he has to get the answer he needed. And it had also hurt him inside to see what was in the memory, and how Snape Had really care for him and his mother.
Snape wanted everything kept secret. Snape was "always" a jerk and that's why he was mean to Harry. James's faults should not have anything to do with how Snape, an adult in a position of power, treats an innocent child whom was orphaned because he sold him out to Voldemort.
The last image Severus Snape is very much in love with Lily Evans. By the time Severus Snape came to see her Severus Snape found Lily Potter dead on the floor. Severus Snape picked her up and held her dead body in his arms. Because Severus Snape knew that he is going to miss her. That's why Harry Potter went to Hogwarts that way Severus Snape can Lily Evans through Harry Potter eyes.
Snape wasn’t really all that bad to Harry when you watch the movies again. He just looks like the enemy but most of his efforts are actually in service to Harry or in praise of his accomplishments
Movies are not the source material Read the books a d you will see he was deplorable, and as a result in the end hes not even worth to pity him. In the Movies its literally fckn different character, might as well Name him a different one if you change his character so much
Theory idea: The books claim that if you have all 3 hallows forming the deathly hallows you can become the master of death, but how can the resurrection stone make you a master of death? If anything seeing your loved ones as dead you would want to die more, to see them, to be with them the 2nd brother did kill himself for that reason which is why I think someone needs to address this.
Snape had no idea that Harry would be there on the moments he be dying if he did he wouldn't have been able to give him the pensive information. And what purpose would it serve the Dark lord of those memories?
Hi, I'm a Hp fan and love this channel a lot. If possible can you make a video explaining 'What happened to #12 Grimmauld Place after Deathly Hallows?' 'Did Harry Potter and his family lived there?' or 'Did they donate the house?' I couldn't find any video so far on any channel that explains this, though I'm sure it will be worth an effort :)
I just think that Harry is a kind boy. Despite his hatred he also has great compassion and this would have been uppermost at the moment of Snape's passing. This is just part of his nature.
Deniz Kenger, silvery blue tears that were neither gas nor liquid that gushed from his mouth and his ears as well as his eyes? There is no implication there that Harry was collecting Snape's tears. It was the same description always given to the whimsy non-liquid/non-gas memory stuff that always goes into the pensive. He even collects it with his wand, just like the normal way we saw Dumbledore do it. The choice they made for the movies to have it be Snape's tears and have Harry just hold a flask up to Snape's eyes like catching water from a faucet was super corny. But then the filmmakers seemed like they were on a mission to make Snape more likeable and relatable than he was in the books.
@@denizkenger52 The tears was a movie thing. In the book the memories came from practically everywhere. His eyes, ears and mouth. Snape was dying and had to get the memories to Harry fast before he died. No memories came out his nose which was probably a good call by Rowling. 'Umm Harry, that's not a memory' said Hermione. 'what? Oh...' said Harry. Harry had mistaken a bogey which now stretched from Snape's left nostril to the tip of Harry's wand for a memory. Harry flicked his wand this way and that way trying to dislodge the gluey bogey from his wand tip. It took Harry five minutes to accomplish this. By which time he had inadvertently flicked snot all over the dying potions master's face. 'Sorry about that' murmured Harry. 'Y - You did that on purpose, Potter' Snape gasped. 'Fi - Fifty points from Gryffindor' Snape gurgled and then he was still. Snape was dead and with his dying breath he had docked Gryffindor house fifty points. Harry swore loudly.
@@denizkenger52 I would be shocked if he wasn't crying at the time. Think about it, Snape is laying there helpless and dying. He has critical information that Harry needs. Information that is about to die with him. In his mind he has failed Lily again. Then a miracle happens. Harry pulls off the invisiblity cloak and is standing before him. So of course he would be crying. Tears of relief and joy that he hasn't failed. He was able to pass on the information to Harry and he was able to protect Harry as much as he possibly could... For Lily.
@@trisphere Harry did use a vial in the books, not his wand. Hermione created one and thrust it into his hand "out of thin air". It doesn't specify in the book that he collected the "substance" from Snape's eyes, so it's impossible to say for sure. Still, they were not "tears", of course, but memories. The films tidied it up and made it look like tears for the sake of optics.
i think harry always had suspicions that snape was actually a good person. one example is that dumbledore was so powerful and seemingly all knowing that he wouldn’t have just allowed snape to kill him. also when harry found out snape was trying to save him when quirrel was jinxing his broom. there’s a bunch of other times snape saved harry. point being, i think part of harry knew that snape was a good person.
I think the way i allways read it was that Harry didn't trust Snape... But at the same time, he saw the man Snape really was for the first time. The shell broke... So i think Harry just unknowingly let his guard down. And alltough he doesn't say ''You have your mothers eyes'' in the books... I think Harry still understood it. I mean, the second that line came up in the book i just knew that there was more to Snape than we ever knew. So i think in that moment, the look Snape gave Harry was telling. Harry couldn't know how things trouly were. But i think he still conected with Snape. It's that understanding that is hard to understand how and why we do understand that two people have at key moments. Snape could fake being cold... But i think Harry knew that Snape could never fake being so weak. There is honesty in death. And i also guess Harry knew that Snape would have been to proud to die for Voldemort's plan. And i suppose Dumbledore's trust in Snape was still there in the back of his mind. Why did he trust Snape... A man that would kill him? There was something about how trusting Dumbledore looked to the very last. I don't know tho... I just know that in the book and the film, it fealt natural at the time for Harry to trust him in a sense. Alan Rickman did a great job in the role tho. Like seriously, that man did such a fantastic job. And when you know why he took the role. ''What does the word allways mean to you?''. He was hired because that one word had such depth. So alltough the stiff angry dickhead teacher might not have seem too interesting to him... What he knew was under all that sold him on the role. And i'm so glad we got to see him in that role. His version of the character is my favorite Harry Potter character.
I believe the story he gave to Harry wasn't for telling him his tragedy. I believe he gave it so that he conveys what Dumbledore had said to him to say to Harry that it's essential for him to die at the hands of Voldemort. Asking someone to die requires that level of trust and hence he gave the back story so that the job would be done. Even at the moments of death, he didn't stop thinking like the great deception specialist he was and remained true to the cause.
The love Snape had for Lilly is the as strong as the love Lilly had for Harry. Even though I am a peon who has only seen the movies, that is one thing I'm almost certain that all Harry Potter fans can agree on. They did a perfect job by casting Alan Rickman as Snape. His monotone distain for James he asserted on Harry in the Sorcerer's/Philospher's Stone contrasts brilliantly with the harshness he showed towards Harry out of love towards Lilly in The Order of the Phoenix. Snape wanted to be the dada professor for the longest time, but was never able to due to Dumbledore's curse on the position. He was harsh on Harry in those training session because Harry is the sole reason he wanted to teach dada.
Snape was a dark wizard. There is no question about that, but love always wins. Through love there is compassion, forgiveness, and trust. If anyone knows the power of love, it’s Harry. In the moment, I believe Harry could somehow feel Snapes love for Lily, but needed to see it to believe it and Snape, who had nothing left, needed to show Harry his love.
I think Harry took the chance to trust Snape simply because he was at a complete loss of what to do. Despite the animosity between Harry and Snape, Harry knew Snape had never lied to him. Of course, Snape never told Harry the complete truth but, he never told Harry any lies. Snape had been an effective teacher to Harry as well. Harry was watching a man who was close to both Dumbledore and Voldemort die while offering him memories as his last act. Harry would’ve been intrigued. Snape didn’t give Harry every memory. He only gave Harry the important ones, the ones that would give Harry the answers he needed. Snape also gave Harry the memories that showed how and why he turned against Voldemort.
Harry has Lily's eyes. Therefore, he can show compassion to ppl he hated. If Lily was alive to fight Voldemort, she will probably do the same thing that Harry did. If Lily was there, Severus would probably ask for forgiveness again for calling her Mudblood many years ago so that he can die in peace.
The Dark Lord knowing almost everything Snape was amazingly secretive. How he was so hurt, to bully Harry but was forced to. Hurt by killing Dumbledoor as Dumbledoor wanted Snape to kill him Snape always wanted to live a happy life taking care of the boy who lived, his only memory of his first love, Snape was truly truly loyal. Snape risked his life..for his loved boy, Either you believe it or not, Snape deserved everything, even deserve his first love.. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Snape cared, for Harry, and never actually was just using him as a memory but actually grew up to care for Harry as much as lily..
Could you do video talking about what you would think would be different if Harry, hermione and Ron had burst in to face Voldemort before Nagini attacked? It would be all 4 of them facing Voldemort together, obviously they couldn’t kill him because of the final 2 horcruxes but Voldemort also couldn’t killing curse on Harry because he was the true master of the elder wand, not Snape as Voldemort thought. Edit - I am only basing this off my knowledge from the films as I haven’t read the book.
My guess would be that Snape swore an Unbreakable Vow to give his life to protect Harry, avenge Lily, and defeat Voldemort. His harsh treatment of the kids was to keep up appearances so that Voldemort would be fooled. When Snape was teaching Harry about Occlumency and Legilimency, he probably inserted ideas into Harry's sub-conscious, and had been doing so from the very start of their contact. 🤨🤔🤫😑😐
It was probably because Snape was too helpless. This brought out Harry’s weakness of being a hero so he trusted Snape in his helpless state. He felt somehow obligated to carry the dying man’s wish through which he realizes Snape was actually good. Also I don’t think Snape could’ve altered his memories like that in fact I would go as far as to say even Merlin and Dumbledore couldn’t have altered there memories and put on such an elaborate trap at that point, they would’ve had to done it beforehand which judging by Snape’s reaction to being attacked by Voldemort and the knowledge that Voldemort was too stupid and would’ve certainly attacked Harry had he know they were there. So this was obviously not planned out.
For the most part, that's the canon explanation even in Book 1. The twin core vibes with Harry due to the connection he shares with Voldemort. This connection is because Harry is a horcrux, even though we don't realize that in Book 1. So if Harry wasn't a horcrux, the twin core would have probably not chosen Harry. Now, wands also have specific personality aspects. However, Harry being a horcrux for one of the most-powerful wizards has a massive interplay with this norm/tradition.
I always thought that it was just Harry's innate compassion that drove him to approach Snape. No matter how much he hated Snape, in that moment Snape was a human being in a terrible situation and Harry felt a need to do something. It was instinctive, not a conscious thought or action.
Yep and he even did the same with Voldemort when he told him he felt sorry for him cause he'll never know love or friendship. He wouldn't even use the killing curse on him because as bad as he had made Harry's life he still chose to be the better man
@@BlackangelKatakuri which makes Voldemort’s book death so much more meaningful, Harry still feels bad because Voldemort dies like a human. Harry knew it was necessary but hated doing it.
Yep He's after all his professor
In a similar way, he rescued Draco Malfoy in the Room of Requirement even though Draco just tried to attack him. Even when he could have died saving him because of the Fiendfyre curse bouncing around.
Or…. It was the fact that he knew Snape had saved his life before …
I always thought Snape favored Draco but he really was protecting him. Snape was a better father to Draco than Lucius.
Sanpe was a double agent on Dumbledore’s and Harrys side
Lucius was an amazing father 2 draco and he loved him with everything in him. It was always the 3 of them(Draco Narcissa Lucius) in their true loyalties
Yup
@Mr Doctors13 yeah Lucius certainly loved his son, wanted to protect him, and to have him be happy and successful but unfortunately had some pretty harmful beliefs that he and his wife passed to their son...and they spoiled him rotten.
@@fatsam2564 he was a triple agent, if your wondering how, then I’ll tell you, he was working for dumbledore, harry, and mainly, LILY POTTER
Fooling the Dark Lord by being a Double Agent for Dumbledore for 17 years showed how much of a skilled wizard Snape was. A Master of Oclumency. A unbelievable DADA expert.
Yes 🥺🙌
Especially from a guy who got caught listening at a door like some noob
Especially because The Dark Lord knowing almost everything
Snape was amazingly secretive.
How he was so hurt, to bully Harry but was forced to.
Hurt by killing Dumbledoor as Dumbledoor wanted him to kill him

Snape was truly truly loyal.

The story of Snape is always so sad to hear. To be a double agent like that is very dangerous, all for a woman he couldn't have. All to protect the boy she gave birth to with another man. He was a true hero and a man with true feelings
If not for becoming a death eater and likely killing innocent people while a death eater I'd agree. That's the only thing keeping him from truly being good
@@BlackangelKatakuri
Who the innocent people who killed??
Harry was the son he would've had, who would've resembled him instead of James, who's eyes would carry on his love for Lily, even after she died a natural death, not one at the hands of Lord Voldemort, for they would, in that case, be a family on his side.
@@BlackangelKatakuri he didn't really kill anyone after he started working for dumbledore
@@thatssomethingthathappened9823 I don't think Lily would ever be on the bad side, even if it meant not being with Snape
I think there are a few things here.
1.) Tampering with a memory isn't easy to do without leaving signs. Slughorn couldn't even do it. Slughorn's tampered memory in the glass phial appeared to be congealed like it had spoiled or something and odd things happened while the memory was being viewed in pensive. There's no way Snape in the state he was in, would have been able to tamper with his memories and make them flawless.
2.) Given how guarded Snape was about his memories in Order of the Phoenix (he removed certain memories and put them in the pensive before occlumency lesson with Harry) and given how angry Snape became when he caught Harry sneaking a peek at those memories. It is safe to say that Snape would never give up those memories willingly even if he was dying unless it was important. Harry knew there had to be crucial information in those memories.
Harry may have even been apprehensive at first while viewing Snape memories in the pensive but I think when he got to the memory of his father humiliating Snape, Harry knew then that he could trust Snape. Given how Snape reacted when Harry saw the memory the first time he knew that Snape would have never allowed him to see that memory again unless it were important.
The task Snape accomplished is INSANE when you think about it
Not necessarily because being a simp is easy
@@sethwinterstein6532 i mean since the definition of simp is willing to do anything to win over another person, you’re right
@@sethwinterstein6532 I wonder how you know that... 🤔
The fact that he was able to deny The Dark Lord entering his mind all these years and prevent him from knowing about him being a Double Agent showed how much he mastered Oclumency and what a highly skilled wizard Snape was
@@akhilvasudevan3989 yes absolutely.
Harry reluctantly admired/trusted Snape even before Deathly Hallows. He saw Half Blood Prince as a friend and guide who helped him. He hoped it was his father. He defended that boy even after Sectumsempra. Harry felt safe and hopeful when he saw Snape's patronus and immediately trusted her. But also one of Harry's greatest strengths was his forgiving nature & he was always a curious boy.
No he didn't! He hated Snape even more after the 6th year. At the end he slowly forgave Snape, but I still thank he was a bully with authority, protected from all because of Dumbledore & Voltemort.
@@joeyshofner639 I did say "reluctantly", in case you missed. His trust grew after the memories once he realized his book friend was on his side all along. Snape's bullying is irrelevant to my comment. Why do you feel the need to bring it up?
I always wondered why no one caught on Snape was a… triple agent? (Good guy pretending to be a bad guy pretending to be a good guy). No matter how many times Snape was mean to the trio, he also threw himself in front of them when “Mooney” turned into a werewolf and tried to teach Harry to protect his mind from Voldemort even after Dumbledore was gone & not there to push him.
Snape protecting them from mooney never happened in the book it was in the movie version
i had always thought that seeing that snapes motives were driven by love , and that dumbledore always said love was a magic beyond anything was the reason
Which is also part of the reason why voldemort never saw through him
Slughorn showed us how hard it is to alter a memory in HBP so Harry knew it was legit
Great point.
But Snape was far better Occlumens than Slughorn
@@nielubieinceli Not in that state, throat cut massive blood loss, multiple wounds from Nagini attacking him while down
Also one of snapes memories was earning dumbledores trust by showing him his patronus was a doe (indicating he actually does love lily). Plus harry already had firsthand experience with the doe kind of helping him. So, harry finally understood why dumbledore trusted snape, and was similarly convinced by the same proof
True. However, Snape's doe response was also a repudiation of any feelings may have had for Harry. Dumbledore was asking him if he cared for Harry and his response was the doe. He cared for Lily, not Harry, any display of concern was Harry was rooted in his obsessive love for Lily and her sacrifice.
No one but Alan Rickman could ever have portrayed Snape so brilliantly.
I always wondered if he was already aware he was close to dying in real life when he played Snape's death scene. It's my understanding he kept his disease a secret but I don't know for how long.
It must be so deeply moving to play a death scene of a character you've played for so many years when you are contemplating your own. Amazing artist
Harry grew up in that moment, leaving childish spite behind
Im sorry but your pfp ruined the tone of your comment for me 😭
I would have loved to see Snape in a full fight, see what he could truly do :( I love Snape
Because he mentioned pensieve? Harry knew that'll be something important
And the a way to stop Voldemort and win the battle of Hogwarts.
In the books he didnt mention pensieve and it wasnt tears (you don’t put tears into pensieve) that he asked Harry to take but it was obvious for Harry what to do because Snape gave him that white stuff of thoughts that Harry saw before when Dumbledore was taking it out couple of years before to his pensieve and he knew very well what to do with it.
We have already seen that memories can be altered in the pensieve. The memories are only as accurate as the wizard producing them want them. Slugghorn never forgot his encounter with Tom, but the pensieve was still inaccurate, and Harry knew all about that. If he didnt trust snape then he might not have listened
@@themsic oh, sorry didn't read book 7 yet
@@brianarnold8666 right the 6th book made altered memeories a pretty big deal lol
I love how he always saw the bad, always sad James’s face. But in his last moment he finally saw light again, let go of the pain and saw Lily’s eyes. I see a form of self liberation, unlocking the heavy chains he carried all his life.
Snape was smart enough to know about the connection to Voldemort as well and intentionally being "mean" helped make his oculemency more believable. That and it helped hide his true allegiance to Harry and Dumbledore.
Nah he definitely did it out of his own pettiness and harsh feelings towards James. He did it from the moment he met the kid and that was before any connection with the Dark Lord was known.
Definitely not wrong but a small part of myself believes it could have been a contributing factor that helped hide his allegiance to Dumbledore and Harry and the spite could have been what kept him motivated to keep it up especially after realizing the connection even if Dumbledore figured it out and told Snape about Harry's unintended connection with Voldemort.
i really wished that they both bonded after harry saw how his father was a bully to him , it would be a perfect time for it to happen
Impossible, even if Harry wanted to bond with him Snape would never get over his grudge and forgive Harry for James's mistakes. Snape thought that Harry was amused by what he saw in the Pensieve so he knocked him on the floor and then started yelling and throwing stuff at him

only madame maxime says dumbleedore
“Always”
Dumbledore was convinced and Harry trusted him as much as his two amigos.
A wonderful video that tries to answer a very crucial question!
I always had the idea that true feelings, our "aura", the reality of who we really are always shines through, especially to those we care about the most.
To me, Harry trusted Snape because their whole existence had led them to that final moment of truth, redemption, liberation, "catharsis" for them both.
No amount of magic or prejudice could stop things happening the way they did; that is probably why Hermione and Ron consent to this as well
It's one of those moments where the whole universe is conspiring to help you.
Yes, I think this is also underlined in the scene where Harry meets Snape’s Patronus. It is like a a projection of Snape’s soul and Harry feels like he has been waiting for it, like they had arranged to meet, as if he had been subconsciously sensing that there was more to Snape and that he would eventually meet his true self.
I always wondered if Harry looking at Snape with anger and Snape seeing that anger coming from his green eyes...the eyes that reminded him of Lily...ever brought Snape pain or regret? Almost like "How dare you treat my boy this way, Severus!"

Have you thought about doing a video about all the actors from the movies that have died in real life? It seems that quite a few people who were in the movies have passed away.
That’s not really much of a theory tho... just depressing
That'd be about as depressing as a dementor.
I can relate to Snape losing a loved one is hard especially if u truly cared for that person you would do anything to keep that person safe even if you don’t win them over you’ll still care for them… Always.
I'VE BEEN WONDERING THIS FOR SOOOO LONG
I think Harry instinctively knew that Snape dying and murdered by Voldemort had no incentive to give him memories for the pensieve unless it was something extremely important. I kinda think of it this way, why would a man just betrayed and killed do something to AID their killer lol. Harry new something was up.
Your are not the only one
Not sure I feel the second possibility about putting Harry in a compromising position. Harry sees nagini attack snape. Everyone in the wizarding world (except wand makers) believe the elder wand is won by killing. Not by disarming. Even Harry, Ron and hermione believe this until speaking to Ollivander. Voldemort truly believed snape was the owner, hence why he was killed. Even with that, the wand ownership is not guaranteed. It is a rare occurrence but it can change its allegiance on its own accord.
Snape...... Ahhh snape the man!!! I can say nothing about him.... Generally I m one of those who will NVR give snape complete redemption, but only to compensate the part where he helped.... But ohh god I cried between the video 😭😭
I love your videos and I would enjoy seeing a video of the top 10 examples of forgiveness in the HP books. Some examples might be Ron abandoning Harry (on numerous occasions), Dumbledore probably never forgiving himself, Alberforth and Dumbledore, the Wesley family & Percy, Harry & Ron forgiving Lockhart, and Harry and Snape.
Snape was always fasinating for me. He was always secretly my favourite character but I wouldn't say it to anyone considering he was percieved as villainous.
Well most people love snape
My fave too. He's the most complex and most interesting. Keeps you guessing until the very end. And seriously, Alan Rickman's performance in the films❤️❤️❤️
His my favourite too, for so many reasons including that I always had a crush on him. 💖🤣.
Anyone else ever had a crush on him?
@@xenalovesares yup😍
I always wondered about this. Snape cared really deeply for Harry's mother. He had his reasons not to but chose to do so and got the truth after so many years.
Snape shedding tears and telling Harry to take the tears to the pensieve is something that would have had Harry realising Snape might not be all he thought Snape was. Last time Harry saw Snape's memories he kicked him out, stopped teaching him occlumency lessons so for Snape to spend his last moments crying tears and telling Harry to take them to the pensieve. I think also Harry deep down at some point in deathly hallows maybe in the boat shed while listening to Voldemort or and Snape, Harry might have realised that Snape was actually on his side and Dumbledore had planned his death so Voldemort wouldn't get the wand, plus the amount of times Dumbledore told him he trusts Snape would have hit him at that point as well. Harry was also desperate to find some way to defeat Voldemort without risking anyone else dying at this point so he was no doubt hoping to find something that Dumbledore might have left behind for him.
Considering the 4 serious black was killed serious Sirius did tell Harry that that we all have good and evil within us it's a matter of which you choose. But I personally will go a step further than that yes we both all have darkness and light within ourselves but we have to know how to balance them or align them equally in order to be truly enlightened and as I've said before I think snape was one of the most enlightened ones I've ever encountered in both fiction and fact. Aside from the spiritual leader the Dali Lama
Considering that Snape used his dying moments to extract his memories, Harry wouldn’t really have a reason to distrust him. Plus, the fact you mentioned about Dumbledore having complete trust in Snape.
I can't belive I'm crying watching this, it really is heartbreaking but he die peacefully watching the eyes of the only women he ever love.
i think that dumbledore should have told harry about snape having to kill him
what if voldy reads harrys mind well they are fucked
@@killuasa8399 exactly this. harry didn't get the hang of keeping voldy out of his head, so Dumbledore had to be careful about the information he gave him, otherwise voldy could find out and snapes cover be ruined, the whole plan scrapped. I bet it killed Dumblydor to keep all of that from him (well technically it did kill him lol). I'm curious how things would've gone if snape continued training harry to keep voldy out of his mind, then more information could've been given to him.
@@amandalinn3618 At that point though Voldy wouldn't go into Harry's head because he had been driven out by love in the 5th book.
Harry in his heart wanted to go to him, after everything I think Harry wanted to go to the person who tormented him at his weakest, at that moment Harry forgotten about his anger towards him he just felt pity and sadness.
Harry surely knew the memories weren't tampered with when he saw them in the Pensieve. the one tampered memory he did see (Slughorn's) involved the entire room repeatedly going blank between parts of the memory. this plus the fact that Snape's biggest motive for doing all of this was love, something Harry knew Voldemort could not understand, is what i think convinced Harry to believe that the Prince's Tale was indeed genuine.
Video idea: why the Dursley’s gave young Harry glasses
He shud do this
better question: why did they give them the same glasses his father had? thats something that always confused me
maybe because they were cheap ? I mean they did break quite often tbh 😂
harry went to public school and his teachers had to realize his eyesight was poor.
dursleys were probably forced to buy him glasses.
Not getting Harry glasses when he is practically blind without them gets the Dursleys in a lot of trouble. They provided the minimum "care" they had to.
My guess, having not watched the video yet, is that Harry thought he's got nothing to lose viewing the memories. He also probably felt sympathy for Snape for the 2nd time in his life (the 1st being Snape's worst memory) because he was killed so cold blooded and he hated Voldemort more than Snape.
As for believing the memories being truthful and not manipulated (like Slughorn did poorly), I don't know. Maybe the pieces just clicked and he felt in his heart it was the truth.
Dobby's death stopped his obsession for the Hallows. Likewise, perhaps Snape's death put the grudge away.
I think Snape's counter curse during the quiditch match way back in the beginning is another major reason for Harry to trust him. Think of the risk Snape would have been taking: saving the life of very reason his master was defeated?
Also, throughout the entire story, though Harry and Snape clash frequently, can anyone name a single instance where Snape's treatment of Harry doesn't take on a completely different meaning once we know the truth? Alan Rickman was truly one of the greatest actors of all time. Watch the films again and focus all your attention on Snape. Rickman is telling us the monumental secret he was carrying with every subtle glance and microexpression he makes. And thus, Harry too would have discerned that there was more to Snape than met the eye.
Anyway, these videos are an absolute joy to watch. So well-written and succinct.
Snape was a complicated man.
Just to show how powerful unconditional love is. Snape demonstrated it throughout the story from book 1 to 7.
Snape was dying in agony, betrayed by the Dark Lord he had supposedly served all his adult life with literally nothing to lose. Harry never understood Dumbledore's trust in Snape and in that moment was an opportunity to finally confront Dumbledore's murderer. Harry was lost, scared and in need of guidance - from anywhere; even from the man that had bullied and tormented him and his friends including Neville throughout their time at Hogwarts, in that moment Harry had no choice but to trust Snape and Snape had absolutely no reason to lie. I see what Snape did as some magical form of a dying man's final confession and somehow Harry understood that was what this was and I think Hermione's actions showed she had the same understanding of the situation.
Oh god you made me cry for the 1000000000000000th time for snape
Long live snape's memories and may Alan Rickman's soul rest in peace and tranquility Always..... 🖤😔
A tampered memory does not behave properly, it congeals, as seen in previous book.
If you're talking about Slughorn's memory, I think that the reason why it congealed was not because it was altered, but because Slughorn didn't do it properly. I'm pretty sure Dumbledore mentions it when showing the false memory to Harry.
Snape was a really good Occlumant (not that Slughorn wasn't, but hey, Snape fooled Voldemort's legilimency for years!), so maybe he was also a bit more skilled in altering a memory without people noticing. Just my thoughts 😉
You miss a critically important point: Harry is a kind and compassionate person, motivated by a keen sense of right v. wrong. The same essential character that saves Malfoy in the Room of Requirement is compassionate towards Snape as he lies dying. Compassion is Harry's heroic virtue.
what kind of kind and compassionate person severs a person's arm?! based on a hunch?!
@@matthewbates9629 Draco was about to Crucio Harry. Harry was justified in sending any spell towards Malfoy at that point. Not to mention that Harry didn't know what the spell did, none of the other spell in the HBP book was so severe.
@ Brandon Reese two words killing. Curse.
Which was brought up in the goblet of fire
Chapter fourteen
We've seen Slughorn's version of a tampered-with memory. I'l buy that when Slughorn was at Snape's age, he was less skilled than Snape was during the series, but I do believe that "present time-Slughorn" is a more skilled wizard than Snape. So if Slughorn could only make such a sloppy, patchwork job out of tampering with his memory, I'm not entirely sure Snape would be able to make such a neat, seamless tampered memory for Harry to see
I do think Snape was the more skilled wizard of the two, but he was dying. I don't think you can just imagine something and the make it into a "memory". Even if, it would take a lot of skill, and when you're moments away from death, I don't think it could work
@@denizkenger52 the books weren't wrong, snape just found ways to improve, really.
i feel the same pain snape went through in his life in mine. although i’m not bullied, i just know what it feels like when people get at snape to those i get at, they get at me of after i get at them. it’s a torment to me because i care for them of all no sympathy and pain i feel! i love them so much my family and those that i hurt, that’s what i fear! myself over my hardships! i don’t like letting my ego get the best of me!
At the boathouse Harry finally witnessed that he and Snape had the same enemy. He had been told for years by numerous people that Snape was part of the Order and seeing him there about to die probably was enough to finally convince him.
I love your harry potter channel. I have some requests i.e. pls make videos on the topic-Sorting Barty Crouch Jnr in Hogwarts House, The Story of Aurelius Dumbledore, what if Voldemort knew that he has a daughter, he would have taken care of her as she is the next Slytherin descendant or he would have killed her? and The relation between Leta Lestrange and Bellatrix Lestrange. Please it's my humble request to you. Please I have been requesting this all for so long now. Pls at least reply...
He gave his word to Dumbledore that he would never show the best of himself. If he did, Harry would be found superior more to Snape than to Dumbledore
Actually, the correct reason was that he couldn't get over his hatred of James, and as Harry is the son of his old bully, he didn't want to treat him well.
@@denizkenger52 I mean, I think that the more important word in that definition is _pre-meditated_.
I would still qualify werewolves as human, as far as rights are concerned, but if one is attacking you and you fight back and kill them, that would be self-defense, not murder. However, let's say you know Lupin is a werewolf, and you know he goes to a safe place away from innocents when he transforms(Shrieking Shack). If you went out of your way to track him down and kill him, transformed or not, _that_ would be murder.
So all in all for DADA, Snape teaching how to fight back against and even kill werewolves is perfectly valid. Though if memory serves, he may have had ulterior motives of exposing Lupin. Might be wrong about that
I’ve honestly been meaning to hit the sub button for awhile now thanks for reminding me😂😂😂😂😂😂 your videos are amazing keep doing what you do
"You have your mother's eyes."
yes, and didn't he even say: "You have your mother's eyes, HARRY"? Correct me if I'm wrong. Even if Harry did not realise that right away in the heat of the action, that one must have gone straight to his heart; another moment for him to feel that Snape was trustworthy in the end.
edit: Just looked it up: seems that scene was just in the movie anyway.
Snape is the 🐐
Yes
I got my final deathly hallows book and thanks hp theory to inspiring me to read and watch Harry Potter
It was also Harry’s last chance at truly understanding why this grown man bullied him for almost 7 years straight. His only chance of learning why Dumbledore trusted him. Why he was a double agent. Why he ever even turned to the Order. There were so many questions and mysteries about this extremely closed off man and I think Harry just had to take that one final chance to present himself and possibly gain answers to these questions

I've always wondered this. I'm always trying to imagine if Voldemort had allowed Snape to find Harry... How it would all have gone down... Lol.
I think that seeing Snape, someone who always exercised control, in a vulnerable state, tipped him of that he was being genuine.
Snape wasn’t a bad guy,
He was hard on Harry in order to keep him safe.
Harry Potter reminded Snape of James that had bullied and embarrassed him for years in front of all Gryffindor during is years in Hogwarts. Harry was blind by hate towards Snape. He never gave the chance to see the good side in Snape until Snape dying moment
Harry Potter had seen a lot of people dying from him Harry Potter had realized the reason Snape didn’t like him because he looked like his father, Snape wanted to tell Harry
Potter everything but Dumbeldore gave Snape a order to no do so.
Harry Potter had only realized that Snape was the only last person he has to get the answer he needed. And it had also hurt him inside to see what was in the memory, and how Snape
Had really care for him and his mother.
Snape wanted everything kept secret. Snape was "always" a jerk and that's why he was mean to Harry. James's faults should not have anything to do with how Snape, an adult in a position of power, treats an innocent child whom was orphaned because he sold him out to Voldemort.
The last image Severus Snape is very much in love with Lily Evans. By the time Severus Snape came to see her Severus Snape found Lily Potter dead on the floor. Severus Snape picked her up and held her dead body in his arms. Because Severus Snape knew that he is going to miss her. That's why Harry Potter went to Hogwarts that way Severus Snape can Lily Evans through Harry Potter eyes.

Snape wasn’t really all that bad to Harry when you watch the movies again. He just looks like the enemy but most of his efforts are actually in service to Harry or in praise of his accomplishments
Movies are not the source material
Read the books a d you will see he was deplorable, and as a result in the end hes not even worth to pity him.
In the Movies its literally fckn different character, might as well Name him a different one if you change his character so much
Can you do ‘What if Harry spoke to Snape again after he found out the truth’
I need to see this
Hello.
I love your contents, by any change can you go more into details with the book that Harry had on he’s 6
He kinda of had to i think that's what people don't understand it would have blown his cover to be nice to harry
Theory idea:
The books claim that if you have all 3 hallows forming the deathly hallows you can become the master of death, but how can the resurrection stone make you a master of death? If anything seeing your loved ones as dead you would want to die more, to see them, to be with them the 2nd brother did kill himself for that reason which is why I think someone needs to address this.
Snape had no idea that Harry would be there on the moments he be dying if he did he wouldn't have been able to give him the pensive information. And what purpose would it serve the Dark lord of those memories?
Hi, I'm a Hp fan and love this channel a lot. If possible can you make a video explaining 'What happened to #12 Grimmauld Place after Deathly Hallows?' 'Did Harry Potter and his family lived there?' or 'Did they donate the house?' I couldn't find any video so far on any channel that explains this, though I'm sure it will be worth an effort :)
I just think that Harry is a kind boy. Despite his hatred he also has great compassion and this would have been uppermost at the moment of Snape's passing. This is just part of his nature.
Why do you keep saying Snape's tears rather than his memories?
Deniz Kenger, silvery blue tears that were neither gas nor liquid that gushed from his mouth and his ears as well as his eyes? There is no implication there that Harry was collecting Snape's tears. It was the same description always given to the whimsy non-liquid/non-gas memory stuff that always goes into the pensive. He even collects it with his wand, just like the normal way we saw Dumbledore do it. The choice they made for the movies to have it be Snape's tears and have Harry just hold a flask up to Snape's eyes like catching water from a faucet was super corny. But then the filmmakers seemed like they were on a mission to make Snape more likeable and relatable than he was in the books.
@@denizkenger52 The tears was a movie thing. In the book the memories came from practically everywhere. His eyes, ears and mouth. Snape was dying and had to get the memories to Harry fast before he died.
No memories came out his nose which was probably a good call by Rowling.
'Umm Harry, that's not a memory' said Hermione.
'what? Oh...' said Harry.
Harry had mistaken a bogey which now stretched from Snape's left nostril to the tip of Harry's wand for a memory. Harry flicked his wand this way and that way trying to dislodge the gluey bogey from his wand tip. It took Harry five minutes to accomplish this. By which time he had inadvertently flicked snot all over the dying potions master's face.
'Sorry about that' murmured Harry.
'Y - You did that on purpose, Potter' Snape gasped.
'Fi - Fifty points from Gryffindor' Snape gurgled and then he was still.
Snape was dead and with his dying breath he had docked Gryffindor house fifty points. Harry swore loudly.
@@denizkenger52 I would be shocked if he wasn't crying at the time. Think about it, Snape is laying there helpless and dying. He has critical information that Harry needs. Information that is about to die with him. In his mind he has failed Lily again. Then a miracle happens. Harry pulls off the invisiblity cloak and is standing before him. So of course he would be crying. Tears of relief and joy that he hasn't failed. He was able to pass on the information to Harry and he was able to protect Harry as much as he possibly could... For Lily.
@@trisphere Harry did use a vial in the books, not his wand. Hermione created one and thrust it into his hand "out of thin air". It doesn't specify in the book that he collected the "substance" from Snape's eyes, so it's impossible to say for sure. Still, they were not "tears", of course, but memories. The films tidied it up and made it look like tears for the sake of optics.
i think harry always had suspicions that snape was actually a good person. one example is that dumbledore was so powerful and seemingly all knowing that he wouldn’t have just allowed snape to kill him. also when harry found out snape was trying to save him when quirrel was jinxing his broom. there’s a bunch of other times snape saved harry. point being, i think part of harry knew that snape was a good person.
I think the way i allways read it was that Harry didn't trust Snape... But at the same time, he saw the man Snape really was for the first time. The shell broke... So i think Harry just unknowingly let his guard down. And alltough he doesn't say ''You have your mothers eyes'' in the books... I think Harry still understood it. I mean, the second that line came up in the book i just knew that there was more to Snape than we ever knew. So i think in that moment, the look Snape gave Harry was telling. Harry couldn't know how things trouly were. But i think he still conected with Snape. It's that understanding that is hard to understand how and why we do understand that two people have at key moments. Snape could fake being cold... But i think Harry knew that Snape could never fake being so weak. There is honesty in death. And i also guess Harry knew that Snape would have been to proud to die for Voldemort's plan. And i suppose Dumbledore's trust in Snape was still there in the back of his mind. Why did he trust Snape... A man that would kill him? There was something about how trusting Dumbledore looked to the very last. I don't know tho... I just know that in the book and the film, it fealt natural at the time for Harry to trust him in a sense. Alan Rickman did a great job in the role tho. Like seriously, that man did such a fantastic job. And when you know why he took the role. ''What does the word allways mean to you?''. He was hired because that one word had such depth. So alltough the stiff angry dickhead teacher might not have seem too interesting to him... What he knew was under all that sold him on the role. And i'm so glad we got to see him in that role. His version of the character is my favorite Harry Potter character.
Fun fact: it doesn't matter if you are first
To you?
@@eXdXgXe4life to me
Can you make a video on Blood Packs & can they be destroyed? + how do you think Dumbledore will destroyer it in Fantastic Beasts 3?
I believe the story he gave to Harry wasn't for telling him his tragedy. I believe he gave it so that he conveys what Dumbledore had said to him to say to Harry that it's essential for him to die at the hands of Voldemort. Asking someone to die requires that level of trust and hence he gave the back story so that the job would be done.
Even at the moments of death, he didn't stop thinking like the great deception specialist he was and remained true to the cause.
The love Snape had for Lilly is the as strong as the love Lilly had for Harry. Even though I am a peon who has only seen the movies, that is one thing I'm almost certain that all Harry Potter fans can agree on. They did a perfect job by casting Alan Rickman as Snape. His monotone distain for James he asserted on Harry in the Sorcerer's/Philospher's Stone contrasts brilliantly with the harshness he showed towards Harry out of love towards Lilly in The Order of the Phoenix. Snape wanted to be the dada professor for the longest time, but was never able to due to Dumbledore's curse on the position. He was harsh on Harry in those training session because Harry is the sole reason he wanted to teach dada.
Because he taught him the proper pronunciation of the Leviosa spell of course dood.
Phonetically, it’s leviosaaaaaaaaaaw
Ehh no he didn’t
Snape was a dark wizard. There is no question about that, but love always wins. Through love there is compassion, forgiveness, and trust. If anyone knows the power of love, it’s Harry. In the moment, I believe Harry could somehow feel Snapes love for Lily, but needed to see it to believe it and Snape, who had nothing left, needed to show Harry his love.
I think Harry took the chance to trust Snape simply because he was at a complete loss of what to do. Despite the animosity between Harry and Snape, Harry knew Snape had never lied to him. Of course, Snape never told Harry the complete truth but, he never told Harry any lies. Snape had been an effective teacher to Harry as well. Harry was watching a man who was close to both Dumbledore and Voldemort die while offering him memories as his last act. Harry would’ve been intrigued. Snape didn’t give Harry every memory. He only gave Harry the important ones, the ones that would give Harry the answers he needed. Snape also gave Harry the memories that showed how and why he turned against Voldemort.
Harry has Lily's eyes. Therefore, he can show compassion to ppl he hated. If Lily was alive to fight Voldemort, she will probably do the same thing that Harry did. If Lily was there, Severus would probably ask for forgiveness again for calling her Mudblood many years ago so that he can die in peace.
HBP is my favorite book
As the element of ice n winter she became the bridge of communication and understanding
The Dark Lord knowing almost everything
Snape was amazingly secretive.
How he was so hurt, to bully Harry but was forced to.
Hurt by killing Dumbledoor as Dumbledoor wanted Snape to kill him
Snape always wanted to live a happy life taking care of the boy who lived, his only memory of his first love,
Snape was truly truly loyal.
Snape risked his life..for his loved boy,
Either you believe it or not,
Snape deserved everything, even deserve his first love..
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Snape cared, for Harry, and never actually was just using him as a memory but actually grew up to care for Harry as much as lily..
RIP ALan Rickman
Could you do video talking about what you would think would be different if Harry, hermione and Ron had burst in to face Voldemort before Nagini attacked? It would be all 4 of them facing Voldemort together, obviously they couldn’t kill him because of the final 2 horcruxes but Voldemort also couldn’t killing curse on Harry because he was the true master of the elder wand, not Snape as Voldemort thought.
Edit - I am only basing this off my knowledge from the films as I haven’t read the book.
My guess would be that Snape swore an Unbreakable Vow to give his life to protect Harry, avenge Lily, and defeat Voldemort. His harsh treatment of the kids was to keep up appearances so that Voldemort would be fooled. When Snape was teaching Harry about Occlumency and Legilimency, he probably inserted ideas into Harry's sub-conscious, and had been doing so from the very start of their contact. 🤨🤔🤫😑😐
Snape was the true villian and hero!
How is he the true villain?
It was probably because Snape was too helpless. This brought out Harry’s weakness of being a hero so he trusted Snape in his helpless state. He felt somehow obligated to carry the dying man’s wish through which he realizes Snape was actually good. Also I don’t think Snape could’ve altered his memories like that in fact I would go as far as to say even Merlin and Dumbledore couldn’t have altered there memories and put on such an elaborate trap at that point, they would’ve had to done it beforehand which judging by Snape’s reaction to being attacked by Voldemort and the knowledge that Voldemort was too stupid and would’ve certainly attacked Harry had he know they were there. So this was obviously not planned out.
Does Harry get his wand that has voldemort’s same core because he’s a horcrux
For the most part, that's the canon explanation even in Book 1. The twin core vibes with Harry due to the connection he shares with Voldemort. This connection is because Harry is a horcrux, even though we don't realize that in Book 1. So if Harry wasn't a horcrux, the twin core would have probably not chosen Harry.
Now, wands also have specific personality aspects. However, Harry being a horcrux for one of the most-powerful wizards has a massive interplay with this norm/tradition.
@@onijester56 that is what i thought but i wasn’t 100%
A 'very good' Occlumance? THE BEST. Simply because Voldemort wouldn't dream of trying it on Dumbledore.
