You have your mother's eyes. Definitely the most heart wrenching dialogue in the Harry Potter series. Snape's last words as he looks into Harry's face.
In the book, it was simply "Look at me", so he kept his secret a bit longer, until Harry saw his Memories ✨ I like both versions... Except for Harry and Lily not having the same eyes in the movies 😩
I also think that him becoming the Hogwarts headmaster after killing Dumbledore was the right call. He may have been the only one able to keep the students safe from Voldemort and his death eaters.
@mystery0223oj Because Dumbledorr was dying after he used the Riddle family's cursed ring to try and bring his sister back from the dead. When Snape killed Dumbledore he both spared Draco Malfoy from from having to do so and made Dumbledore's death count for something useful. The moment Snape killed Dumbledore he showed his absolute loyalty to Voldemort meaning his presence among the Death Eaters would never be questioned again by any one. It made his position as a spy at the heart of Voldemorts empire safe and secure as well. He absolutely never wanted to kill Dumbledore but Dumbledore new it was the only way to both save Draco and make sure Snape would eventually be able to become head master of Hogwarts which then allowed him to secretly protect all the students there from the excesses of the Death Eaters stationed at Hogwarts. He was also able to help Harry out from the side lines like when he took the sword of Godric Gryffindor from Hogwarts and made sure Harry and his friends were able to find it right when they needed it. So Dumbledore made Snape promise to kill him for all of the above reasons. Severus Snape without a doubt became one of the most courageous characters in the HP universe ✨️.
He was one of the most sacrificed characters. He loved Lily in silence, from afar, and although he had his reservations about Harry, in his heart, he cared about him. He had the best poker face ever, wore the bad guy costume so very well in order to prorect those he loved.
Only after attempting to get lily for himself by getting James and Harry killed and asking voldy to not kill lily. He was in on the murders and thought he could just swoop in and get Lily for himself after helping murder her husband and infant! But she wouldn't get out of the way, so voldy killed her, breaking his word to Snape. Only then did he go to Dumbledore, not because he loved lily and wanted to protect her son, but because he was ANGRY that voldy killed "his girl" and wanted to get his revenge. In the movies they made it much more romantic and heroic, and don't get me wrong in the end he was a hero, but he was a creep who lusted after Lily and only helped Harry Potter because he was key in his revenge against voldy. He had a shit childhood and he was bullied at school, I'm not saying he doesn't have valid reasons for being the way he is, but twisting the way he is to make him more empathetic is just not true to the story. Snape runs off of hate and vengeance, not deep seeded love.

Mr Rickman played the multiple levels of Snape beyond amazing. Cold as ice, to barely holding his tears, to showing fake loyalty to the person he knew was likely to kill him. Should have received an Oscar, or three.
I agree! He was amazing. The fact that JK Rowlings told him about Snape and Lily during filming of the first movie and before it was revealed in the books makes it even more admirable. He was the only one that knew and had to keep that secret.
Yeah its cool when actors play a role where their character is also playing a role or 2 or 3, suddenly the one character is actually like several in one, have to be a real actor to play that kind of role.
Nah Snape crying over his dead crush while a baby Harry is crying over his dead mom is disgusting. What sane man would look at a crying baby and not seek to comfort him? "Oh sorry your mum died but you see your dad was a twat and I had a hard on for your mama, so no I will not help you I'm gonna squeeze up on her corpse, pardon me".
Snape was evil. He bullied Neville, Hermione and Harry. He was twisted. Even his love for Lily was a lie. He wouldn't live for her sake, until she was dead.
@AMAubert yeah people really seem to love Snape even though he would bully children and he basically joined wizard equivalent of the KKK when he left Hogwarts, I mean his entire motivation for being good was an unhealthy obsession for a girl he had a crush on in school
This scene, I love this scene. For Dumbledore gives Snape a moment, an opportunity, one shot to show what he really is, and he doesn't hesitate and he shows the purest and most unfiltered version of himself. Even Dumbledore was stunned by his devotion
Snape showed us that love doesn’t need acceptance from the other person to be powerful. Love accompanied by pain is beautiful,powerful and magical in itself even if it is one sided!

@olandoblen5791 His part in Dumbledores plan to defeat Voldemort required him to live his entire life as the villain everyone hated in order to convince Voldemort and his allies he could be trusted. Then after all that he was the one who had to kill Dumbledore (again to convince Voldemort he was truly loyal) who he loved and admired. His entire life was a tragedy all to fulfill his role to defeat Voldemort and thus save humanity.
Alan Rickman (Snape) was dying of cancer during the last movie or two, and he knew how long he was going to live. He sacrificed time with family for us to watch these movies. Amazing ❤
@mathiastrostdorf5638 absolutely! I haven't watched them again since I learned about him making the movies knowing those were his last days. I'll probably cry my eyes out when I do! What sacrifice, what a legend. He must have loved the Harry Potter franchise a great deal! May he rest in peace
Alan Rickman died because of complications of pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed with terminal PC back in 2015 long after the last Harry Potter movie was filmed and released. What you're referring to might be his 2005 prostate cancer diagnosis, but he didn't sacrifice time with his family, because he underwent a surgery and made a full recovery and live for another 11 years.
@@mhm8922 man snapes entire character arc is my favorite of the series. A man so devoted to a woman he’s willing to give his life protecting her child that’s not even his.

Always. MAN that 1 word line always hits me right in the heart.
My husband wasn't interested in rhe HP books or movies. Ironically, if I asked " you wanna stay with me honey" or some other sweet talk, he would reply " Always".
Snape was the best character there was. He messed up in bad circumstances and came back with his true soul to serve good. All while being a heartbroken and bullied kid. He was the only one other than dumbledore that I think stood a chance in a fight with Voldemort

Love how Alan performs this scene w/o yelling or screaming, not even the spell. Yet it's all more powerful for it. His broken heart bleeds yet again. His mentor fails him yet again. Harry, for whom he's sacrificed so much, must face death yet again. His (Sev's) feelings matter to no one. You can feel his despair. Beautiful performance from a beautiful actor. Thank you, Alan.

Poor Snape... his profound pain is perfect... Perfect Stoicism. In his pure pain and suffering he attains something beyond, something beautiful... a true soul.
The fact that Death Eater Snape could produce an Expecto Patronum charm says a lot about how much kind feelings he had for Lily despite all the darkness he had to go through
That “always” gives me chills man. His face and his words so cold and intense, yet full of pride and genuine love. THAT is acting. He tells so much with just a single word.
That's why Severus Snape is the most badass and the coolest character in the whole series, but it was revealed in the 7th book. Best adult character of them all. R.I.P. Sir Alan Rickman. 😭🙏

Whenever he stared into Harry's eyes he saw Lily. He always protected his love. Always.. Rip Alan Rickman and Michael Gambon, and thanks for this beautiful scene.
This scene makes me cry EVERY TIME! it’s when I finally realized Snape was on Harry’s side the whole time. Blew my mind as a teenager. ❤❤❤❤Rest in power, Alan.
It hits differently in the books when Snape makes it clear he does still hate Harry. But the fact that he is Lily's son is all he needed to protect him this whole time.
The actors’ performances were great, but I still think this scene is overrated. Snape didn’t actually care about Harry at all, but was only helping him because he still loved Lily. It would have been better if he had gotten over Lily, but had actually grown to care about Harry in some way. However, since Harry resembled James too much, that wasn’t going to happen.
Hold on now. Lilly loved Snape. He was her first friend, he took her under his wing. Came to her rescue and showed her kindness when her sister was calling her a freak. He understood her. They just drifted apart. Lilly might not have been in love with him but love was deffo not one sided.
@@jamahlscarlett8787At one point I also wondered whether Lily had romantic feelings for him or not....but it was snape's one sided love only!!! Lily was always grateful to him because he was the first person to understand her and considered him as her best friend but never saw him more than that .Novel gives clear clarification🥲 regarding this🥹
I first saw Rickman in TRULY, MADLY,DEEPLY, in which he played a deceased person who wouldn't go away. I was amazed art what an incredibly good actor he was death cannot dim his light
Severus loved Lily,.. he only pretended to hate Harry on Albus Dumbledores plan to fool all the followers of Voldemort, so he could stay close by and protect Harry. Every time Severus looked at Harry, he was reminded of his lost love, .. Harry has Lilys eyes 👀
Thats not true he actually hated harry because he reminded her of james, but he also protected him because his eyes reminded him of lily, the movies twisted Dumbledore word and made him look like a vilain here and snape some kind of hero but he was not
Everything about Harry reminded Snape about James and the anger, as mentioned by Dumbledore in the books, that his hatred for James spilled over on Harry. But he also protected Harry in certain circumstances that he could have easy let Harry die from or get seriously hurt. I don't think you would have had an issue with Harry being kicked out of school so that it would be harder for the death eaters to locate Harry and Harry was not a wizard. But once Dumbledore fully revealed his plans to Snape was when Snape took up his responsibility to protect Harry, even at the cost of his life became fixed in his heart. Oh sorry, professor Snape. 😁
@@luisecawthorne1025bro please Harry Potter books . James was better than Snape . He was kind hearted and he join Dumbledore army while Snape join voldemort.
Absolutely one of the biggest surprises to find out how he has cared for harry in his own way because he couldn't share the pain of losing the one person he truly loved and cared for Lily. Definitely shed a tears when I first watched this. Will always be a fan of professor Snape!❤
he loved harry, and he despised james. that’s why his character is so emotionally complicated. he gets mad at harry just like a father would but harry will never treat him with respect like he would his own father. its heartwrenching.
@@MuhammadNafisJamil but in the last movie when Harry takes his tears and finally gets to see for himself the love he had for him and also how mean his father really was to Snape and even through the toughness he put him through. He always was watching Harry even when he thought it was his mother and father it was Snape. That unconditional love
My heart is saddened when watching these two incredible artists. None will ever take their place. Rest in Peace Professors Snape & Dumbledore! You both are deeply loved and missed! ❤
Harry made sure that Severus’s portrait remained in Hogwarts and told everyone of the sacrifices he made. Even giving his son his name along with Albus. Snape intended to die having everyone hate him so that he could do good by the world. Harry didn’t allow that. ❤
@@elicruze7188 If i recall correctly from the books, yes it will move but if the person who the portrait was made for is dead then they don't talk. Much like Harry's parents in his small picture of them move but do not speak.
@@erickchristensen746 No, Albus Dumbledore died but Snape still spoke to him in the last book. Harry's parents didn't speak as they were 'pictures', not 'portraits'. The other Headmasters of Hogwarts, Phineas Nigellus, all died years ago, but they still spoke
Like he couldn't even say "expecto patronum" normally. His voice caught and his patronus came out through the intent, emotion and feeling from his very heart and soul. Not sure how many caught that /and/ just precisely how deep that small moment was. He /loved/ Lily in a way not many humans /can/ love another.
I miss him everyday. The world lost an incredible actor. How different things might have been if Severus and Lily had been together. He loved her deep within his soul. 😢
Lily and Severus could NOT have ever been together without Tom Riddles' total victory. Snape's destiny was to be the double agent providing the key Intel on Voldemort. Lily's was to bring Harry into the world. The slightest hint of any bond between those two and Voldemort would have twigged to Harry's role as the unintentional horcrux. The part about Harry having to DIE, sojourn in the afterlife, and rise again is cut-and-pasted from a much older story. The only part missing is the messenger angel hitting James upside the head with a 2x4 and telling him that it's his JOB to marry the immaculate Lily 😮 ! It's not Rowling's fault that there are only a few basic story plots in all of human history 😂 !
Seriously, this scene had broken me like I can’t even describe it! The way Snape is talking along with the melancholic music theme, it is so beautifully perfect!
The music, the cinematography and the performance of the actors in this flashback scene was all 10/10. I don’t cry for many reasons in movies or shows, but this gets me every time. Poor Snape 😔
you're lucky to have had that experience. it doesn't happen in theaters much anymore. when I was a child (1960's) there was clapping after every single movie.
His patronus is the same as Harrys mothers . Dumbledore had tear in his eyes when he said "after all this time in the books", IT shows the depth of Snaps love for his mother.
I still remember watching this in the cinema on opening night. I'd read the books so I was expecting it but the scene still made me cry like a baby. So good and Alan Rickman was phenomenal.
@@ggabrafright in real life no one would be saying this guy living a married woman is in love lol. Because there's a lot of guys like this without powers they get labeled stalkers
Pure Love is protecting and sacrificing for the loved ones.. while obsessions is getting what or whom you love by hook or crook.. so rightly said. Not an obsession ..
He wanted Harry to never have to do the things expected of him. He loved Lily and wanted to protect her child. His pain in this scene and his anger at Dumbledore was so palpable. This scene made me cry.
Alan captured this perfectly, still in control but you know all the heartbreak is being felt inside just as acutely as someone wailing and bawling with tears.
He always saw Lilly in Harry. It was always a pain to him because he also saw James as well. His love and hate were so intermingled that he had no way of accepting Harry in a loving way. He could never care for the james part of him, but he always cared for the part of Harry that was lilly. I always saw it as a cruel love. His vile demeanor to Harry was the only way he could have any real emotion reach toward Harry. For her.
I never read or saw the film series but, have been a great admirer of Alan Rickman for decades. I am always A-M-A-Z-E-D at his depth, the layers to his characters and subtle genius. I miss him. A great loss for art and for humanity. I weep.
I love how Snape stares at the window for a second after the patronus disappears, as if he takes a moment to reminisce at what once was. Just impeccable story telling and acting
Never been a big Harry potter fan or even read a single book. But I've watched all the movies and Snape will always be my favourite character. He brought tears to my eyes! R.I.P Alan Rickman.
I love how in the end they switched roles, the cold blooded, war fed rationalist that knows his plan is coming to an end was Albus, while the wounded animal, the victim of both sides' choices, and the one filled with remorse, was Snape. A beautifully written moment, and two masters of acting putting all their love for the story into their characters climax.

Totaly agree R.i.p that wonderful man Alan Rickman😢❤❤❤
muy cierto!!
nunca lo había pensado así, pero tienes razón!!
Yep he was Great In 'Galaxy Quest'
Hilarious Actually!
Great Actor with a Great Range
May he Rest in Peace🌷
He will “ always” make me cry♥️
True man
Mr Rickman played the multiple levels of Snape beyond amazing. Cold as ice, to barely holding his tears, to showing fake loyalty to the person he knew was likely to kill him. Should have received an Oscar, or three.
I agree! He was amazing. The fact that JK Rowlings told him about Snape and Lily during filming of the first movie and before it was revealed in the books makes it even more admirable. He was the only one that knew and had to keep that secret.
Agree!! 🎉🎉
Yeah its cool when actors play a role where their character is also playing a role or 2 or 3, suddenly the one character is actually like several in one, have to be a real actor to play that kind of role.
Who needs an Oscar when you have the love and admiration of the audience.
@@tianamoses3793Bravo
The fact that he can _whisper_ a perfect patronus. That's purity. That's pain. That's heart.
The scene where Snape was hugging Lily's dead body and Snape's Patronus were such heart renching and beautiful movie scenes 😢❤
I cry every time.
Was there a moment ever stated what lilly and james patronos was cause i find it funny that Snape and Harry are almost similar
Lily's Patronus was a doe and James Patronus was a stag & because of Snape's love for Lily his Patronus was also a doe.🙂
@@paulagardner3218when I get sad I just cry tears from my tip
Nah Snape crying over his dead crush while a baby Harry is crying over his dead mom is disgusting. What sane man would look at a crying baby and not seek to comfort him? "Oh sorry your mum died but you see your dad was a twat and I had a hard on for your mama, so no I will not help you I'm gonna squeeze up on her corpse, pardon me".
Honestly, I think Snape has the saddest story out of all of the characters in the Harry Potter universe.
hogwarts legacy trying to steal the second place behind snape with the sebastian story for sure. that’s the most tragic thing i’ve seen in ages
It is the saddest story.
Very much yes...
Agree
Yup 😢
This scene made me cry. The fact Snape was hard on Harry just help him and how he loved Lily.
I also cryed😢
I am still crying
Snape was evil. He bullied Neville, Hermione and Harry. He was twisted. Even his love for Lily was a lie. He wouldn't live for her sake, until she was dead.
@AMAubert yeah people really seem to love Snape even though he would bully children and he basically joined wizard equivalent of the KKK when he left Hogwarts, I mean his entire motivation for being good was an unhealthy obsession for a girl he had a crush on in school
@@BurkeanMama the movies portray Snape as a kind of grey character but those who read the book know how he really was.
This scene, I love this scene. For Dumbledore gives Snape a moment, an opportunity, one shot to show what he really is, and he doesn't hesitate and he shows the purest and most unfiltered version of himself. Even Dumbledore was stunned by his devotion
This
He truly loved Lily.

Alan Rickman absolutely killed it every time Snape was on screen. He should have won so many awards for those movies
Not too big, just some tuna and egg rolls. Should be done in an hour or so.
Patronous charm shows that he is pure heart. Without pure heart it won't work
Death eaters can never cast it.
That's not how that works... You just meed a happy enough memory. Umbridge can cast it.
Yeaa what he said ☝️
@@patrykszczepanski773 That's a contradiction I think. Because from Harry Potter books I know that once a dark wizard tried to spell Patronous and unfortunately a maggot appeared from his want to devour him.

Can you explain why he is the hero of the story, I'd seriously like to know
@olandoblen5791 His part in Dumbledores plan to defeat Voldemort required him to live his entire life as the villain everyone hated in order to convince Voldemort and his allies he could be trusted. Then after all that he was the one who had to kill Dumbledore (again to convince Voldemort he was truly loyal) who he loved and admired. His entire life was a tragedy all to fulfill his role to defeat Voldemort and thus save humanity.
Alan Rickman (Snape) was dying of cancer during the last movie or two, and he knew how long he was going to live. He sacrificed time with family for us to watch these movies. Amazing ❤
unimaginable if he would have been replaced in the end. these final scenes with him were some of the most emotional scenes of the entire series.
@mathiastrostdorf5638 absolutely! I haven't watched them again since I learned about him making the movies knowing those were his last days. I'll probably cry my eyes out when I do! What sacrifice, what a legend. He must have loved the Harry Potter franchise a great deal! May he rest in peace
Alan Rickman died because of complications of pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed with terminal PC back in 2015 long after the last Harry Potter movie was filmed and released. What you're referring to might be his 2005 prostate cancer diagnosis, but he didn't sacrifice time with his family, because he underwent a surgery and made a full recovery and live for another 11 years.

I’m right there with you. And that was the emotion they were going for… and they definitely got to me. I still tear up when I see this scene.

Always.
MAN that 1 word line always hits me right in the heart.
My husband wasn't interested in rhe HP books or movies. Ironically, if I asked " you wanna stay with me honey" or some other sweet talk, he would reply " Always".
Seriously, “always” is the hardest, most truthful and serious answer he could have given and it was powerful
Snape was the best character there was. He messed up in bad circumstances and came back with his true soul to serve good. All while being a heartbroken and bullied kid. He was the only one other than dumbledore that I think stood a chance in a fight with Voldemort
The biggest example of love and sacrifice. We all salute you Professor Severus Snape.
I love how Snape was hard on him but only because he wanted Harry to be able to stand his ground and that he became Harry's unspoken protector
Pretty sure he's the bad guy... ya know the slytherin one with intent to kill harry but failed leaving a lightning bolt scar of protection instead of the harm intended 🤔

Alan Rickman was a gifted actor, and a wonderful human being. He managed to deliver a punch to the gut with one single word. Absolute perfection.🥺
He just summarize his feelings and emotions in just one word " Always" 💕
Love how Alan performs this scene w/o yelling or screaming, not even the spell. Yet it's all more powerful for it. His broken heart bleeds yet again. His mentor fails him yet again. Harry, for whom he's sacrificed so much, must face death yet again. His (Sev's) feelings matter to no one. You can feel his despair. Beautiful performance from a beautiful actor. Thank you, Alan. RIP. You will be forever missed.
He was the only one to pull it off. A full contradiction but one love frfr

Poor Snape... his profound pain is perfect... Perfect Stoicism. In his pure pain and suffering he attains something beyond, something beautiful... a true soul.
Alan Rickman was such an incredible actor. May his family find solace in the legacy of all his wonderful works.
The fact that Death Eater Snape could produce an Expecto Patronum charm says a lot about how much kind feelings he had for Lily despite all the darkness he had to go through
That “always” gives me chills man.
His face and his words so cold and intense, yet full of pride and genuine love.
THAT is acting. He tells so much with just a single word.
'ALWAYS' one wird with infinite emotions....thank you thank you Alan ...and salute to u.🙏🙏
That's why Severus Snape is the most badass and the coolest character in the whole series, but it was revealed in the 7th book. Best adult character of them all. R.I.P. Sir Alan Rickman. 😭🙏
Agreed, wholeheartedly ❤
Except for the fact he joined a hate group and only betrayed them for someone he loved but was willing to follow them if only other people were murdered including her husband.
@@purplekissy When Snape talked to Albus Dumbledore he was really concerned about Harry Potter and his fate. Also when he was dying, he told Harry You have your mother's eyes. Harry respected him.since that time and he named his son Albus Severus Potter.
Snape was the worst
@@shanayamehta9108 Bullshit! Totally not true. If you don't know the whole Story and the truth behind this character you should not talk or write anything bad about him. He's a true hero who was murdered by Lord Voldemort. If he had survived, he would be Harry's stepfather.
Whenever he stared into Harry's eyes he saw Lily. He always protected his love. Always.. Rip Alan Rickman and Michael Gambon, and thanks for this beautiful scene.
This scene makes me cry EVERY TIME! it’s when I finally realized Snape was on Harry’s side the whole time. Blew my mind as a teenager. ❤❤❤❤Rest in power, Alan.
It hits differently in the books when Snape makes it clear he does still hate Harry. But the fact that he is Lily's son is all he needed to protect him this whole time.
The actors’ performances were great, but I still think this scene is overrated. Snape didn’t actually care about Harry at all, but was only helping him because he still loved Lily. It would have been better if he had gotten over Lily, but had actually grown to care about Harry in some way. However, since Harry resembled James too much, that wasn’t going to happen.
@@lopachillaenough like Lily to care for him, but enough like James to dislike him.
Just the reveal of the patronus and the end with "always" Is so crushing
Absolutely the best casting for any character in this franchise.
How can a person deliver one word not even a line and it becomes iconic. ❤️
The way snape confessed his never ending one sided love was heart reaching ❤😭 the way he answered always when Dumbledore said this long
Hold on now. Lilly loved Snape. He was her first friend, he took her under his wing. Came to her rescue and showed her kindness when her sister was calling her a freak. He understood her. They just drifted apart. Lilly might not have been in love with him but love was deffo not one sided.
@@jamahlscarlett8787At one point I also wondered whether Lily had romantic feelings for him or not....but it was snape's one sided love only!!! Lily was always grateful to him because he was the first person to understand her and considered him as her best friend but never saw him more than that .Novel gives clear clarification🥲 regarding this🥹
The way that even dumbledore never noticed that Snape's Patronus changed is mindblowing.
He played a similar character in Sense and Sensibility. He is SO good at playing unrequited love.
I first saw Rickman in TRULY, MADLY,DEEPLY, in which he played a deceased person who wouldn't go away. I was amazed art what an incredibly good actor he was death cannot dim his light
Great movie. One of my favorites.
So am I.
@dejanae7336 Dear Friend, may yours be requited in 2024.

Severus loved Lily,.. he only pretended to hate Harry on Albus Dumbledores plan to fool all the followers of Voldemort, so he could stay close by and protect Harry. Every time Severus looked at Harry, he was reminded of his lost love,
.. Harry has Lilys eyes 👀
Although James was a turd 💩 to him at school, & Sirius
Thats not true he actually hated harry because he reminded her of james, but he also protected him because his eyes reminded him of lily, the movies twisted Dumbledore word and made him look like a vilain here and snape some kind of hero but he was not
@@dilsedesi1704 a complex, tortured, tormented character who loved Lily & hated James
Everything about Harry reminded Snape about James and the anger, as mentioned by Dumbledore in the books, that his hatred for James spilled over on Harry.
But he also protected Harry in certain circumstances that he could have easy let Harry die from or get seriously hurt.
I don't think you would have had an issue with Harry being kicked out of school so that it would be harder for the death eaters to locate Harry and Harry was not a wizard.
But once Dumbledore fully revealed his plans to Snape was when Snape took up his responsibility to protect Harry, even at the cost of his life became fixed in his heart.
Oh sorry, professor Snape. 😁
@@luisecawthorne1025bro please Harry Potter books . James was better than Snape . He was kind hearted and he join Dumbledore army while Snape join voldemort.
Alan Richman has a stutter as a boy, he learned to speak in his own way to avoid bullies
I LOVE HIS STORY HE IS A LEGEND !! 😊
It's enough to make a grown man cry
In fact it does.
Every time.
Absolutely one of the biggest surprises to find out how he has cared for harry in his own way because he couldn't share the pain of losing the one person he truly loved and cared for Lily. Definitely shed a tears when I first watched this. Will always be a fan of professor Snape!❤
he loved harry, and he despised james. that’s why his character is so emotionally complicated. he gets mad at harry just like a father would but harry will never treat him with respect like he would his own father. its heartwrenching.
@@MuhammadNafisJamil but in the last movie when Harry takes his tears and finally gets to see for himself the love he had for him and also how mean his father really was to Snape and even through the toughness he put him through. He always was watching Harry even when he thought it was his mother and father it was Snape. That unconditional love
This is acting!
.not the gdmn woke BS that goes on today
He also protected hey because of him being his son
My heart is saddened when watching these two incredible artists. None will ever take their place. Rest in Peace Professors Snape & Dumbledore! You both are deeply loved and missed! ❤
Harry made sure that Severus’s portrait remained in Hogwarts and told everyone of the sacrifices he made. Even giving his son his name along with Albus.
Snape intended to die having everyone hate him so that he could do good by the world. Harry didn’t allow that. ❤
Thanks 👍 i didn't knew that 😢
The only thing I liked about the play was when Severus learned Harry named a son after him.
I kinda wonder what his portrait does or says, cause they move and talk
@@elicruze7188 If i recall correctly from the books, yes it will move but if the person who the portrait was made for is dead then they don't talk. Much like Harry's parents in his small picture of them move but do not speak.
@@erickchristensen746 No, Albus Dumbledore died but Snape still spoke to him in the last book. Harry's parents didn't speak as they were 'pictures', not 'portraits'. The other Headmasters of Hogwarts, Phineas Nigellus, all died years ago, but they still spoke
I will forever remember his "Always"
It's why he's my favourite character even tho most people hate him 💔💧
Rickman's voice was something else. ❤ RIP, AR.
Like Harry Potter said to his son : Severus is the bravest man that he ever known 😢❤ Best plot twist in the most greatest masterpiece!
Like he couldn't even say "expecto patronum" normally. His voice caught and his patronus came out through the intent, emotion and feeling from his very heart and soul. Not sure how many caught that /and/ just precisely how deep that small moment was.
He /loved/ Lily in a way not many humans /can/ love another.

I miss him everyday. The world lost an incredible actor. How different things might have been if Severus and Lily had been together. He loved her deep within his soul. 😢
Lily and Severus could NOT have ever been together without Tom Riddles' total victory. Snape's destiny was to be the double agent providing the key Intel on Voldemort. Lily's was to bring Harry into the world. The slightest hint of any bond between those two and Voldemort would have twigged to Harry's role as the unintentional horcrux. The part about Harry having to DIE, sojourn in the afterlife, and rise again is cut-and-pasted from a much older story. The only part missing is the messenger angel hitting James upside the head with a 2x4 and telling him that it's his JOB to marry the immaculate Lily 😮 ! It's not Rowling's fault that there are only a few basic story plots in all of human history 😂 !
@@user-kx7ri9im1s well-said!
Seriously, this scene had broken me like I can’t even describe it! The way Snape is talking along with the melancholic music theme, it is so beautifully perfect!
This still breaks my heart every single time 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The music, the cinematography and the performance of the actors in this flashback scene was all 10/10. I don’t cry for many reasons in movies or shows, but this gets me every time. Poor Snape 😔
The most famous "Always" ever. Superb performance by Alan Rickman... as usual.
I remember the entire theater clapping when Snape said "always"
you're lucky to have had that experience. it doesn't happen in theaters much anymore.
when I was a child (1960's)
there was clapping after every single movie.
I watched every movie in theatres i was 2 when the first came out
His patronus is the same as Harrys mothers . Dumbledore had tear in his eyes when he said "after all this time in the books", IT shows the depth of Snaps love for his mother.
I still remember watching this in the cinema on opening night. I'd read the books so I was expecting it but the scene still made me cry like a baby. So good and Alan Rickman was phenomenal.
“Lily! After all this time?”
“Always” Ugh that line gets me every timeeeee
The way Snape's eyes widen when Dumbledore said "now you care?" Is a subtle indicator before the spell that he did.
Snape took me for an emotional rollercoaster. Every time tears in my eyes.
Not to belittle James, but Snape love for Lily is truly incredible....written in the book and express beautifully by Alan....standing ovation indeed
Personally, I'm part of the fuck James Potter club
@loksvir8858 well, lily certainly did, so does that make her part of the club.. ?

snape never loved lily. he was obsessed
@@ggabrafright in real life no one would be saying this guy living a married woman is in love lol. Because there's a lot of guys like this without powers they get labeled stalkers
The fact that people say his love for her was an obsession.. A patronus in its true form would beg to differ
Pure Love is protecting and sacrificing for the loved ones.. while obsessions is getting what or whom you love by hook or crook..
so rightly said.
Not an obsession ..
up
No matter how many times I watch it, that "Always" will get me every single time
He wanted Harry to never have to do the things expected of him. He loved Lily and wanted to protect her child. His pain in this scene and his anger at Dumbledore was so palpable. This scene made me cry.
Alan captured this perfectly, still in control but you know all the heartbreak is being felt inside just as acutely as someone wailing and bawling with tears.
I hate that most men feel their emotions this way
I’m not usually one to correct spelling, but I think you meant ‘bawling’ with tears. ‘Balling with tears’ has quite a different meaning!
@@M00N.L1GHT thanks I'll try and correct it.
His Love for Lily is beyond anyone's imagination ❤ what an ace actor..
Snape was more of a father to Harry than Potter could've ever known before this moment. 😢😢😢
Always,, the bravest man ever. A Slytherine with a heart of griffindor.
He always saw Lilly in Harry. It was always a pain to him because he also saw James as well. His love and hate were so intermingled that he had no way of accepting Harry in a loving way. He could never care for the james part of him, but he always cared for the part of Harry that was lilly.
I always saw it as a cruel love. His vile demeanor to Harry was the only way he could have any real emotion reach toward Harry. For her.
His story was so sad, and to find out that he was helping Harry. Love Alan Rickman a great actor,
He was a good actor until..
I love him and he did Snape perfect, his death was sad. Losing him and Robin Williams hurt like I lost an old friend my heart never forgot.
The pure definition of loyalty. And the best character.
Seriously underrated and underappreciated character and actor, RIP
Not in my world…. Searched out his performances and I was never disappointed….
Bottle Shock…another great Rickman performance
I never read or saw the film series but, have been a great admirer of Alan Rickman for decades.
I am always A-M-A-Z-E-D at his depth, the layers to his characters and subtle genius.
I miss him.
A great loss for art and for humanity. I weep.
Alan Rickman the most underrated actor of all time. Brilliant in this scene, and all scenes
I still cry to this day... to this DAY. Because Harry didnt know how much Snape cared until his last breath... My poor heart...
'Always' i don't know a word deeper than this
What a scene. Rickman's delivery here is....perfect. Gives me goosebumps every time.
He made the movies great. No one else could have done it. ❤️🙏
I have a 14 month old son now, and seeing baby Harry with tears in his eyes in this scene is absolutely soul crushing now watching it as a mum 🥺
Alan Rickman was a truly amazing actor who could convey millions of feelings with just one word- "Always!" ❤
I love how Snape stares at the window for a second after the patronus disappears, as if he takes a moment to reminisce at what once was.
Just impeccable story telling and acting
😢
I love this man's voice .. imagine a voice like that doing ASMR...❤ R.I.P. Alan ❤
The fact that Snape was the only death eater who can cast an Expecto Patronum was beyond magical.
Never been a big Harry potter fan or even read a single book. But I've watched all the movies and Snape will always be my favourite character. He brought tears to my eyes! R.I.P Alan Rickman.
Say what you take that back
It’s crazy how much meaning is packed into one word… always
This scene broke my heart more than ever from all the series.... He had a more heart than he was portrayed.
I love how in the end they switched roles, the cold blooded, war fed rationalist that knows his plan is coming to an end was Albus, while the wounded animal, the victim of both sides' choices, and the one filled with remorse, was Snape. A beautifully written moment, and two masters of acting putting all their love for the story into their characters climax.
