Great, but I think he shouldn't have added Albus as well. It's kinda long and a kid having two names is kinda weird. Snape deserved much more for Harry's son to be called like him.
@@ryumiOfficial ... that is their literal names. Lots of people give their kids a first or middle name that is the same as somebody they know/miss. Not sure what you wanted it to be.
It’s unbelievable how skilled Snape was. Deflecting McGonagal’s enraged attacks, knocking out the death eaters, taking their wands and fleeing in one fell swoop. Truly the supreme triple agent.
He didn't take their wands. In the movie, after snape ran away, you can see one still in the left guy's hand when Voldemort spoke through every student's head.
"Then prove it! Control your emotions. Discipline your mind." I just love that scene... Snape provoking Harry and using his outburst to motivate him. You can really see he's just trying to teach him the way he knows best.
Honestly the one that gets me the most is actually Harry’s first quidditch match. Just his face and how he was focusing so intensely on counter curses to save Harry’s life. It’s interesting because in a way, it was Snape vs Voldemort. Kind of poetic.
Snape really was the bravest man in the entire series, choosing hatred in the place of love, becoming a traitor instead of a hero. And yet even when everyone was against him he still died with a smile on his face knowing that his suffering for life has come to an end and also knowing that he did his job protecting Harry the boy of the woman he loved her entire life. Even in death.
Yet he used it to take out the real enemies behind him, then left without actually hurting any of the kids/good professors. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he'd made eye contact with her and it was planned. ;) For as much as they argued, I think they cared for each other, and (their students too) Harry in their own way. Sort of shared parental protection.
He looked like the bad guy in the beginning but at the end of the series it was shown that he always had the intention to protect Harry no matter what.
@@Noah-gg7wp he hated Harry because he was the son of James Potter who he hated because Lily married him so yes he did hate him but at the end he was fond of Harry are really did care for him
The werewolf scene. He doesn't just protect Harry. He tried to protect ALL of them. Even though Harry was his primary objective, he couldn't simply leave Hermione and Ron by themselves when Harry departed. He wasn't just a discpline and loyal man. He was truly a great professor and protector of students when it comes to life and death.
@@jacthing1 yeah. I thought Snape as someone who had hard time completely let go of his hatred towards James enough to make Harry miserable but definitely wouldn't cross the line of getting a child actually get killed as a duty of magical professor and a responsible adult in general.
@@jenniferaniston3186 Yes, it was not, but I agree with the person who said that Book!Snape would have done the same. In GoF, we see Snape running in his NIGHTSHIRT when he thought that someone was in danger. Of course he would've protected the trio.
I knew something was wrong with my initial perception of Snape, when I first watched him protecting the kids with his life. Against a werewolf. Actions speak louder.
This makes me cry cos as a kid I hated him but growing up it’s like damn he really was there for Harry the entire time it just didn’t come off the way we think caring is. He showed him tough love.
I love how you noticed Hermione held on to him tighter, too. I just how he was so mean to her, all time yet in moment, she held on him to for deal life. look in background she holds on to his arm like you would if your holding on to roller coaster bar from underneath.. Or how Snape, went for Hermione when she tried to run off, and not harry. As she knew she was still vurnral girl even if she was a young adult..I love it protecting the girl a bit more too...and dont mean in romantic way either just...I feel if snape was a tad nicer did a find a happy ending he would been great with a daughter. As noted he did have lot of girls who are friends in this series more then guys...I see him as a tough father with a son...but if had both I see him tough on them both... see daughter saying "he like you more then me" when the son is all "he likes you more!..."
People say he's a bully for how he treated Harry and his friends, and people say he's a hero because all the while he protected them, the best way to sum up snape is - 'Human', he's a man who can't let go of the torment he experienced, but did everything he could to make up to the people who he cared about and cared about him.
@@KevinHealey95 Book Snape had the benefit of having his bad attitude explained. He had to act as a bully incase any of Voldemort's spies/agents were watching. Since Snape and Dumbledore were among the few that knew that Voldemort would return. Snape as an unknown double agent for the Phoenix Order, couldn't break character for even a moment.
I love how everyone notices him defecting the spells to the still distracted death eaters but don't see him deflecting the initial spells directly down while he is still in between the students and only deflecting to the death eater when it's absolutely positive no student will be hit.
@@barrickfischer well he was with dumbledore pretending to be with voldemort pretending to be with Dumbledore i think that is one layer deeper then a double agent
I like how after Snape smells the fake Moody’s flask. He just looks at Harry as though he was trying to say “I’m sorry for accusing you of stealing from my storage Potter. “
@@markanthonypittaway1539 Also like how Harry looks at Snape as though he trying to say to Snape “ I accept your apology and I completely understand why you were just trying to catch the person who was stealing from you but luckily it wasn’t me or my friends.”
Snape was one of those characters I didn’t understand as a child. But now, that I’ve grown older, Snape is one character I respect with my heart and soul. He loved Lily with all his heart so he protected her son with all his strength.
I thought he was a bully and asshole as a child. Now that I'm grown up, he's a massive, massive abuser and the good he does is mostly due to an extremely unhealthy obsession with a woman, who never showed interest in him and married his childhood bully.
You really can see the hurt in Snape's eyes as Harry accuses him of usurping Dumbledore's place as Headmaster and killing Dumbledore in a a grave betrayal. I can imagine how much he hated being the Headmaster in the way he become so.
Knowing how much Snape loved Lilly and the fact that Sirius was the one they pinned for her death it makes much more sense how he reacted to seeing him watching it now than it did back then.
Snape always knew that Lily was killed by voldemort. Snape hated Lupin, Sirius and James because they were his Malfoy in the sense that they brutally bullied him. Actually, they bullied him on levels beyond what Malfoy was capable of.
@@phugindomas yes snape had a lot of bullies but snape got close to Voldemort to kill him even at the risk of losing his own life. If Snape could have killed Voldemort alone in the shrieking shack I would bet Snape would do it with "for lilly" under his breath.
@@phugindomas Snape always knew that Lily was killed by Voldemort but he thought Sirus was the one who sold Lily and James's secret location to Voldy, and Lupin also involved in it.
I felt beyond ashamed of myself when I found out about all this and didn’t realize it sooner. Snape was the strongest and noblest man in the whole series.
Because he was Dumbledore's most trusted man in Hogwarts. Dumbledore's most trusted would definitely not act in an evil way. It's all an undercover mission to expose the Dead eaters' plot.
I always noticed how he shielded the children from Lupin as a werewolf. It always showed to me as a character who truly cared for them. He is one of the greatest characters ever written.
No, Lilly was. Harry is only the boy who lived because of her sacrificial love that backfired on Voldemort. Snape’s importance comes downstream from Lilly
He was the reason for the beginning and ending, he told about the prophecy, but regretted, he protected Harry and his friends and being a double/triple agent, working from behind Voldemort and in the and about the elder wand he lied about him being the owner he could have said anything to not die but he was loyal, probably only to lily
To be honest, eventhough Hermoine sumtimes misunderstood Snape, she is the one who can read snapes indirect motives and strategies. She is the only one from the trio who never assumed the worst of him.
What about the scene where he was trying to save Harry from Professor Qurell's jinx during Quidditch. Hermione was the one who assumed Snape was trying to hurt Harry because she didn't know what he was doing.
@@SugarKttn exactly, she only knew that was a curse but when she learn that Snape was trying to save Harry, she didnt assume the worst of him and trying to see his perspective. Although there were times that she secptical about Snape, sumhow she became the key to execute his rescue or plan.
I have to agree with this. Hermione trusted Dumbledore, who trusted Snape and that was enough for her to keep a level head about things not being exactly what they seem to be.
What makes this even sadder, Snape was the closest thing to a father figure to Harry. He wasn’t allowed to get to close to him, be honest with him. He could only watch from a distance. But in the end, Snape did love Harry, not just because he’s the child of the woman he loved, but because of Harry’s nature.
The thing Dumbledore said to Snape was what truly solidified to me what a real hero is "i'll never reveal the best of you" The silent and haunting prison of love that Snape chose to live in. Bars made out of the hate of others. Guarded by friends and enemies. His only release from the prison was a self-induced death sentence. What a character....
Except the reason Snape made Dumbledore promise was that he hates James Potter so much he couldn’t bear the thought of anyone knowing he was protecting the man’s son. It’s actually quite petty and sad, not heroic.
@@therainman7777 At first that was the case. He just did it because Dumbledore told him to do but slowly he started to care for him, thats why the line " you have your mothers eyes " were beautiful. It showed that even though harry was just like his dad deep inside he was like his mother lily whom who snape loved dearly very much.
The way he looks at the doe patronus with such emotion, sorrow, wonder, undying love and longing ugh *chefs kiss* they dont make actors like that amymore
Oh. I never noticed before, but Snape flinches when Harry looks him directly in the eye while he's attempting to teach him how to 'discipline his mind'. He was seeing Lily. Then brought up James to hide how much Harry reminded him of HER and not James. His words rarely add up to his actions. His words say 'You are just like your father', but his actions say that he loves Lily and can't help but protect the boy that would have been his, had they not lost each other. Harry really doesn't have many adults he can trust. While Snape may not always be kind, he has always protected Harry, as one would imagine that Lily would have if she had lived. There is no one else who could have played the part. Alan Rickman brings the character to life and gives his whole heart into the role. I wish I could have met him in person, he truly is one of the greats. A shining beacon that perhaps can help others to learn how to be good, not just to others, but also themselves too. Never forget. Always remember. Always.
Don't forget too, he's still very upset when he sees James dead before Lily, seeing that James tried to protect them all. He didn't truly hate James Potter just hated the fact Lily didn't love him back
Watching these scenes now and knowing what I know now, you can see the little bits of emotion that Snape lets through his mask, especially when he is trying to teach Occlumency to Harry the only way he knows how. They're only there for a moment, but they're still there. Truly amazing acting by Alan Rickman. RIP to a legend.
I remember 9/11 doing that when Woody nearly attacked me and united 93 came charging at him. I loved how United 93 screamed at Woody as the movie attacks him because United 93 knows that Woody was turning me into one of those terrorists but the movie wasn’t having it.
That should be the bare minimum for ANY teacher, let alone a powerful wizard. Not literally feeding kids to werewolfs isn't an excuse to keep being a bully and abuser.
More than dumbledore who harry admired the most , severus snape cared about the boy and protected him whenever he could without caring that he would be called a villain . not only harry but he protected everybody from being harmed , if around him . died himself knowing elder wand was loyal to draco and not him . became villain by killing dumbledoor . when prof mcgonall attacked him , he never fought back , just defended . he was easily most powerfull wizard after voldermort and dumbledore , maybe even equal or better , but never showed that .
It was such a clash of Dumbldore’s character. Like, the Dumbledore in the first 2 movies I felt like would NEVER say or do anything like that. But this new actor kinda put a bit of a more hardcore edge on Dumbledore. Apparently in the books, he was a mix of both
@@Deadman_Wonderland66 he showed that Dumbledore was just playing a part and never really cared that much. Just the “greater” good to hear Voldemort. Snape was the truly good person who actually cared.
@@mintz9782 na theirs a reason harry names his kid dumbledore. Dumbledore gifts Harry the resurrection stone and when harry dies dumbledore explains he had to die so the connection could be broken and when he’s resdurected Voldemort won’t be there. They both cared equally and both treated him like a son one showed compassion as a mother would and the other showed tough love just as a father would so in the end harry got somewhat of a family.
@@mintz9782 No, he didn't. Dumbledore had the ACTUALLY noble motivation of getting rid of Voldy for good. Snape had the extremely pathetic motivation of his obsession with the woman, who married his childhood bully.
it is totally respectful that Snape has totally responsibility to being a teacher and an ally of Dumbledore and Harry. He just REALLY unhappy with the time bullied by James and reflected it to Harry, despite of this he still keep his duty over his personal grudge.
No one notices when mcgonagall comes at him, he defends and kills the two death eaters behind him before he leaves. He could have leveled that whole room if he wanted to.
You know I always equated Snape’s fury when he confronts Sirius and Lupin in the shack to him not getting over being bullied… but now knowing everything about him and looking back, it wasn’t anger… he was filled with the biggest bloodlust because as far as he knew, the man who killed Lily and caused him to suffer was standing before him. “Revenge is sweet”
He was definitely not a better man than James. They were both great man. But James never joined the dark side and in fact protected Snape when Sirius played a bad joke on him that would have killed him
Snape was an adult who became a Death Eater and only changed sides when Lily died, without forgetting that Book Snape was unfairly abusive to Harry and Neville when they didn't deserve it. Snape was a much messier and grayer adult than the adult James Potter. The ideal is not to whitewash his bad actions but to recognize the mistakes he made as part of the beautifully imperfect and gray character that he is.
Can't be equated. Youth James was definitely way worse than Youth Severus. Adult Severus is worse than Adult James because James died lmao. By that point James is a worse guardian than Severus. James may have saved Severus from death - but he and Sirius still enjoyed humiliating Severus very much. Severus' was in a position of death or living hell. If Severus died young, he may not have been a Death Eater and pointed Cringemort to Lily. Then again he'd shortly be joined by The Marauders - Remus Lupin will be sent to Azkaban for being a werewolf who killed a student; the three would be sent there for being Illegal Animagi. Potter may have an out due to his parents and their money, but the other two wouldn't be so lucky... Dumbledore may also get sacked for enrolling, hiding and harboring a werewolf who then jilled someone and for allowing Illegal Animagi and Death Eater sympathizers to roam freely in Hogwarts.
I never realized until now that Snape was protecting Harry the entire time. He's always been one of my top favorite characters, but watching these clips makes me like the character even more. Tough love is what I say!
10:08 "Hide her hide them all!" After all james put him through he still wanted all three to live happy. Even if it was only out of love for lily he genuinely wanted to protect James for her. This is why i love his character so much he was bullied but put it past him. Then went on to protect even if it was someone who once made his life hell.
unfortunately not in the books. “If she means so much to you,” said Dumbledore, “surely Lord Voldemort will spare her? Could you not ask for mercy for the mother, in exchange for the son?” “I have- I have asked him- ” “You disgust me,” said Dumbledore, and Harry had never heard so much contempt in his voice. Snape seemed to shrink a little, “You do not care, then, about the deaths of her husband and child? They can die, as long as you have what you want?” Snape said nothing, but merely looked up at Dumbledore. 677 Chapter 33 “Hide them all, then,” he croaked. “Keep her- them- safe. Please.”
Snape is a good example of a well written character. I always thought Johanne wrote Lily based on herself and Snape might have been a real boy she knew before.
He is like a father. A father who love his child but must act like a villain so his child will be ready to face his demise. His arcenemy. His hardtime. To be ready. What unconditional love. His love is truly "ALWAYS"
One thing I noticed about Snape is that in his conversations with Dumbledore, Snape was angry with Dumbledore that Dumbledore broke his promise to Snape. Snape really wanted to break free of his dark persona, but can't because it is his agreement to Dumbledore
Snape: “No one can know…” Dumbledore: “That I never reveal the best of you Severus?” Always loved that line. He intended to die a villain for the greater good. Funny thing is Harry didn’t allow that after learning the truth or the good man he was.
You know the dueling club actually has another moment if you think about it, when Ron gets called up Snape immediately shoots down the idea, saying that because of his broken wand he could seriously injure Harry with an out of control spell. Arguably throwing Malfoy in kept him safe too since he had direct authority over him and Slytherin as a whole.
I remember reading the books almost 20 years ago (before book 7 came out), and in every book there would be someone who said to Harry, "You have your mother's eyes." I always knew it would become very significant to the plot before the end, except that I was guessing that it would be magical in nature (like superpowers or something lol). I never expected that its significance was about the strongest force of all: LOVE, specifically Snape's undying love for Lily. 💔😭
As a kid growing up with the series, I never liked Snape until Prisoner of Azkaban when he protected them. Only then did I notice what he was doing, to me it wasn't until Deadly Hallows did I realize the real true intention. Heck he's now one of my favorites from the series.
8:40 the moment I think not many people noticed, but at my mind it is so important,that we can't ignore it. When Harry steps out and accuses Snape in killing Dumbledore , Orden of Phoenix comes, and Harry assumes it was lack of defence by Snape, but at my mind, he was the exact reason why they werr able to get in, defining the fate of Hogwarts
Snape, the only man who suffered enough to care enough, and support Harry is silent, but always there, always causing Harry to keep him out of trouble, can't do more problems if you're at detencion, and in the end, seeing the great sacrifice harry had to do, he simply had enough. Sad he never saw what he helped raise. Protecting from the other side, even beyond death.
Yeah, even if he's just following Dumbledor's plan, he cares for Harry because he's at least the remaining reminder of Lily's existence (although he hates James).
Snape stopped voldy from reading his mind and hid his true intentions from one of most talented and evil wizards of all time. He was nearly on the level of Grindlewald, Dumbledore and Tom(human form) himself.
This made me cringed, Snape only protect Harry for one reason and ONE reason only, and that is Lily Evans, He loved her but his son since he is also a symbolic that Lily abandoned him for a person who bullies him
Allan knowing the full story, makes his INCREDIBLE acting chops even better. You can FEEL the rage he has at anyone he thinks lead to her death And also, he is so fed up with Harry, but i personally feel when he looks into his eyes...he sees her..and while everything else reminds him if James....the eyes show the soul.. and Snape almost resents Harry for it. He loves her so much he does anything for Harry I love the "GIVE ME A REASON " even tho he has the wrong man, he would GLADDLY torture and watch the torture of the man who betrayed her. I almost wish Harry went to Snape for help with things. I think we would have seen a different side. Of him The look he has when Harry calls out Snape. It is SO PAINED. I think he did for a moment lose himself. And then realized what was happning. "After everything I did for you.... for her .. " In this FINAL seconds..he let the hate for James go...and saw her. And her child. Snape wasn't a good man....but he chose to not be a bad one. And when it came to it. He could have said the truth...to spare his life But to quote another "i would have died i would have died rather than betray her"
1:40 When you realize Snape wasn't talking about Lupin and Black's bullying days but was talking about the fact that Lily's location was betrayed and Snape was still suspecting Black.
@@NandiniSharma-by5pk Snape was the one who reported on the prophecy to Voldemort, and regretted it severely when he realized that it meant he was going to murder Lily. He asked Voldemort to spare her, which he agreed to, but Snape knew he was not a man of his word...hence why he asked Dumbledore to help.
Thank you Alan Rickman for all the entertainment I got from you. All the different parts you played in all the different movies you were in, you lifted the quality of all of them, you helped to make them top notch movies! We're all so lucky you chose to be an actor, and were so very good at it. Thank you
Shape knew how to motivate Harry in every way he could. The attacks against James, snape knew that attacking his dad would light the fire under his ass. As shitty as it was, it needed to be done.
Yes, he was in a hurry, there was no time for niceties so he had to give tough love. In a way he was like the drill sergeant in war movies whom the recruits hate but who knows they are going to a war and does everything in his power to keep them from getting themselves killed, even if it means they'll hate him for it.
Something that has bothered me about the story is why Snape told Dolores that he had any truth serum in the first place. If Dolores had used the truth serum on Snape then he would be revealed as a death eater, ruining his plan. Snape is demonstrably a master of deception, surely Snape would lie about having truth serum in order to keep Dolores in the dark.
Snape showed me how it feels like to be a double agent, the things you have to do to hold your identity and the things you have to say to make sure the "greater good" is successful
if u pay atention when snape scapes (in black shadow shape), u can see him going to the corpes of both death eaters before scapes. people says he has catching their wands, in case they wake up
I’m glad Harry named his second son for him, truly acknowledging the major role he played in his life and keeping him safe.

I like how after Snape smells the fake Moody’s flask. He just looks at Harry as though he was trying to say “I’m sorry for accusing you of stealing from my storage Potter. “
I know right , very true , very...
Always been true,
Always
@@markanthonypittaway1539
Also like how Harry looks at Snape as though he trying to say to Snape “ I accept your apology and I completely understand why you were just trying to catch the person who was stealing from you but luckily it wasn’t me or my friends.”
@@katyboebaty9193 agreed
actually when harry mentions about moody there you see snape look at him slightly then cotton on and sniff the flask.
If only he had known that Harry had taken the poly juicepotion in the Chamber of Secrets
Snape was like Harrys step father but really protected Harry
A stepfather who doesn't really like his stepson but raises him the best he can for his late wife
Actually step dad who secretly cares about his stepson but he gives tough love.
He was a cuck, but an honorable one
He protected Harry better than James ever could.
@@Paragon13 U GET IT FR
Snape was one of those characters I didn’t understand as a child. But now, that I’ve grown older, Snape is one character I respect with my heart and soul. He loved Lily with all his heart so he protected her son with all his strength.
I thought he was a bully and asshole as a child.
Now that I'm grown up, he's a massive, massive abuser and the good he does is mostly due to an extremely unhealthy obsession with a woman, who never showed interest in him and married his childhood bully.
@@MrCmon113 Lily show attention to Snape, it's just their relationship was complicated because Snape Switch to the "bad side".
You really can see the hurt in Snape's eyes as Harry accuses him of usurping Dumbledore's place as Headmaster and killing Dumbledore in a a grave betrayal. I can imagine how much he hated being the Headmaster in the way he become so.
Knowing how much Snape loved Lilly and the fact that Sirius was the one they pinned for her death it makes much more sense how he reacted to seeing him watching it now than it did back then.
Snape always knew that Lily was killed by voldemort. Snape hated Lupin, Sirius and James because they were his Malfoy in the sense that they brutally bullied him. Actually, they bullied him on levels beyond what Malfoy was capable of.
@@phugindomas yes snape had a lot of bullies but snape got close to Voldemort to kill him even at the risk of losing his own life. If Snape could have killed Voldemort alone in the shrieking shack I would bet Snape would do it with "for lilly" under his breath.
@@colbornthunderhammergaming you're talking about 2 different characters and still haven't caught on.
@@phugindomas the Intent would be the same but the methods are different because of the power difference is the point
@@phugindomas Snape always knew that Lily was killed by Voldemort but he thought Sirus was the one who sold Lily and James's secret location to Voldy, and Lupin also involved in it.
I felt beyond ashamed of myself when I found out about all this and didn’t realize it sooner. Snape was the strongest and noblest man in the whole series.
Him and Sirius Black are the best characters imo. True good guys.
They even made it so obvious in the first movie. I was always surprised snape was the one who had to step in instead of dumbledore.
@@MegaLokopoWhat do you mean?
@@Kidusy4 why was snape doing a counter curse instead of Dumbledore?
No.
Few (not even Harry) realize how Snape deeply felt for keeping Harry safe.
I know. It’s really sad and tragic when you think about it. It took him dying for Harry to find out.
Because he was Dumbledore's most trusted man in Hogwarts. Dumbledore's most trusted would definitely not act in an evil way. It's all an undercover mission to expose the Dead eaters' plot.
Fr then he died and it was too late for Harry to talk to snake or anything
Especially since he looks like the person who bullied you and married the love of your life
But the fact that Snape was technically the person to teach Harry his signature spell (expelliarmus) is 😮😮
You dare use my own spell against me
SECTUMSEMPRA
@@xAznSkyxx POTTAHH
I always noticed how he shielded the children from Lupin as a werewolf. It always showed to me as a character who truly cared for them.
He is one of the greatest characters ever written.
I love how Snape actually didn’t fight Mcgnagall and just protect himself but not atack- that was precious :3
Even using her attack to kill the two death eaters 😮
Because she wasn’t bad. She was mad 😂. Plus in this scene she doesn’t have the information yet. She thinks he’s a jerk.
:3
After her first strike, you can see in his face that he is very upset it came to that
Snape was the most important character in Harry Potter
Indeed.
No, Lilly was. Harry is only the boy who lived because of her sacrificial love that backfired on Voldemort. Snape’s importance comes downstream from Lilly
@@we_are_so_back Yes - but - Lilly died doing it - and after that she wasn't there any more. Snape was.
.
He was the reason for the beginning and ending, he told about the prophecy, but regretted, he protected Harry and his friends and being a double/triple agent, working from behind Voldemort and in the and about the elder wand he lied about him being the owner he could have said anything to not die but he was loyal, probably only to lily
that’s what I think
To be honest, eventhough Hermoine sumtimes misunderstood Snape, she is the one who can read snapes indirect motives and strategies. She is the only one from the trio who never assumed the worst of him.
What about the scene where he was trying to save Harry from Professor Qurell's jinx during Quidditch. Hermione was the one who assumed Snape was trying to hurt Harry because she didn't know what he was doing.
@@SugarKttn exactly, she only knew that was a curse but when she learn that Snape was trying to save Harry, she didnt assume the worst of him and trying to see his perspective. Although there were times that she secptical about Snape, sumhow she became the key to execute his rescue or plan.
@@SugarKttnthat was in their first year…
I have to agree with this. Hermione trusted Dumbledore, who trusted Snape and that was enough for her to keep a level head about things not being exactly what they seem to be.
What makes this even sadder, Snape was the closest thing to a father figure to Harry.
He wasn’t allowed to get to close to him, be honest with him.
He could only watch from a distance.
But in the end, Snape did love Harry, not just because he’s the child of the woman he loved, but because of Harry’s nature.
The way you could see the hesitation in both his and McGonagall hesitance to fight, it’s such an awesome subtle detail to add
ofcourse he never used a spell too atack onyl too defend cuz he didnt want hurt annyone of theam never did
The thing Dumbledore said to Snape was what truly solidified to me what a real hero is
"i'll never reveal the best of you"
The silent and haunting prison of love that Snape chose to live in. Bars made out of the hate of others. Guarded by friends and enemies.
His only release from the prison was a self-induced death sentence.
What a character....
Except the reason Snape made Dumbledore promise was that he hates James Potter so much he couldn’t bear the thought of anyone knowing he was protecting the man’s son. It’s actually quite petty and sad, not heroic.
@@therainman7777still he protected Harry, what is heroic. Heroism isn't about your thoughts,but actions
@@therainman7777 At first that was the case. He just did it because Dumbledore told him to do but slowly he started to care for him, thats why the line " you have your mothers eyes " were beautiful. It showed that even though harry was just like his dad deep inside he was like his mother lily whom who snape loved dearly very much.
Remus and Sirius: The fun loving uncles
Snape: The uncle who acts like they hate you but would do anything for you
Snape saying expelliarmus adds more years into my life
He actually said: exxx... pelliarmus 😂
The way he looks at the doe patronus with such emotion, sorrow, wonder, undying love and longing ugh *chefs kiss* they dont make actors like that amymore
To remain nearby, but never close. To protect but never shelter. What a fine line to walk for so many years.
When was this said ?
@@nomcebombhele842 When I said it.
Oh. I never noticed before, but Snape flinches when Harry looks him directly in the eye while he's attempting to teach him how to 'discipline his mind'. He was seeing Lily. Then brought up James to hide how much Harry reminded him of HER and not James. His words rarely add up to his actions. His words say 'You are just like your father', but his actions say that he loves Lily and can't help but protect the boy that would have been his, had they not lost each other. Harry really doesn't have many adults he can trust. While Snape may not always be kind, he has always protected Harry, as one would imagine that Lily would have if she had lived.
There is no one else who could have played the part. Alan Rickman brings the character to life and gives his whole heart into the role. I wish I could have met him in person, he truly is one of the greats. A shining beacon that perhaps can help others to learn how to be good, not just to others, but also themselves too. Never forget. Always remember.
Always.
Don't forget too, he's still very upset when he sees James dead before Lily, seeing that James tried to protect them all. He didn't truly hate James Potter just hated the fact Lily didn't love him back
♥️
Watching these scenes now and knowing what I know now, you can see the little bits of emotion that Snape lets through his mask, especially when he is trying to teach Occlumency to Harry the only way he knows how. They're only there for a moment, but they're still there. Truly amazing acting by Alan Rickman. RIP to a legend.
Imagine if harry had been a girl that looked like Lily.
@@sohyunahn8524I’m pretty sure snape would much much go easier then Harry look-like like James but have his mother eyes
I love that Snape shows up to yell at Harry, but he sees lupin as a werewolf and he ducks the kids behind him to protect them. I LOVE THAT ❤
I remember 9/11 doing that when Woody nearly attacked me and united 93 came charging at him. I loved how United 93 screamed at Woody as the movie attacks him because United 93 knows that Woody was turning me into one of those terrorists but the movie wasn’t having it.
That should be the bare minimum for ANY teacher, let alone a powerful wizard.
Not literally feeding kids to werewolfs isn't an excuse to keep being a bully and abuser.
Snape was the best
RIP Snape
Facts
In certain conditions
He was an asshole but he still did his duty
IS*
1:36 this scene means so much more when you realise Snape thinks Sirus is partially responsible for Lily's death
Facts
Snape is really brave to protect the kids like that. His instinct when he was mad at them was to push them behind him and protect them.
Rest in Peace Alan Rickman, you were awesome as Snape
6:00-6:05
When Snape pushes his wand against Barty’s face, he gave that look like “you dare try to hurt the son of my childhood crush?”
He didn’t deserve to have a crush, so I hate saying he liked someone who never seemed to love him back. He deserves love.
muttered like a true cukc 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
He deserved love
Snape was the ultimate cuck
More than dumbledore who harry admired the most , severus snape cared about the boy and protected him whenever he could without caring that he would be called a villain . not only harry but he protected everybody from being harmed , if around him . died himself knowing elder wand was loyal to draco and not him . became villain by killing dumbledoor . when prof mcgonall attacked him , he never fought back , just defended . he was easily most powerfull wizard after voldermort and dumbledore , maybe even equal or better , but never showed that .
It was such a clash of Dumbldore’s character. Like, the Dumbledore in the first 2 movies I felt like would NEVER say or do anything like that. But this new actor kinda put a bit of a more hardcore edge on Dumbledore. Apparently in the books, he was a mix of both
@@Deadman_Wonderland66 he showed that Dumbledore was just playing a part and never really cared that much. Just the “greater” good to hear Voldemort. Snape was the truly good person who actually cared.
@@mintz9782 na theirs a reason harry names his kid dumbledore. Dumbledore gifts Harry the resurrection stone and when harry dies dumbledore explains he had to die so the connection could be broken and when he’s resdurected Voldemort won’t be there. They both cared equally and both treated him like a son one showed compassion as a mother would and the other showed tough love just as a father would so in the end harry got somewhat of a family.
@@adilhussain9373 Harry’s son is actually named “Albus Severus Potter”
@@mintz9782
No, he didn't.
Dumbledore had the ACTUALLY noble motivation of getting rid of Voldy for good.
Snape had the extremely pathetic motivation of his obsession with the woman, who married his childhood bully.
1:00 no matter what you say but that Expeliyamas was personal😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:58 and with that, Snape gave Harry the key to defeating Voldemort
it is totally respectful that Snape has totally responsibility to being a teacher and an ally of Dumbledore and Harry.
He just REALLY unhappy with the time bullied by James and reflected it to Harry, despite of this he still keep his duty over his personal grudge.
No one notices when mcgonagall comes at him, he defends and kills the two death eaters behind him before he leaves. He could have leveled that whole room if he wanted to.
He can solo them but he loves his students @@facehurt7606
You know I always equated Snape’s fury when he confronts Sirius and Lupin in the shack to him not getting over being bullied… but now knowing everything about him and looking back, it wasn’t anger… he was filled with the biggest bloodlust because as far as he knew, the man who killed Lily and caused him to suffer was standing before him. “Revenge is sweet”
I like how he protects the children by having them behind unlike unbridged.
That disgusting bch. As I have Harry Potter book. she was even more sinister than in the movie. 🤬
Snape knew that new teacher was such a fraud that even took two business days to spell that expelliarmus with elegance
The only thing Harry didn’t know that Snape was a better man than James Potter!
He was definitely not a better man than James. They were both great man. But James never joined the dark side and in fact protected Snape when Sirius played a bad joke on him that would have killed him
@@sunny_9676 true, they are both great in different ways. But at the same time they have their bad qualities too.
Snape was an adult who became a Death Eater and only changed sides when Lily died, without forgetting that Book Snape was unfairly abusive to Harry and Neville when they didn't deserve it. Snape was a much messier and grayer adult than the adult James Potter. The ideal is not to whitewash his bad actions but to recognize the mistakes he made as part of the beautifully imperfect and gray character that he is.
Can't be equated.
Youth James was definitely way worse than Youth Severus.
Adult Severus is worse than Adult James because James died lmao. By that point James is a worse guardian than Severus.
James may have saved Severus from death - but he and Sirius still enjoyed humiliating Severus very much. Severus' was in a position of death or living hell.
If Severus died young, he may not have been a Death Eater and pointed Cringemort to Lily. Then again he'd shortly be joined by The Marauders - Remus Lupin will be sent to Azkaban for being a werewolf who killed a student; the three would be sent there for being Illegal Animagi. Potter may have an out due to his parents and their money, but the other two wouldn't be so lucky...
Dumbledore may also get sacked for enrolling, hiding and harboring a werewolf who then jilled someone and for allowing Illegal Animagi and Death Eater sympathizers to roam freely in Hogwarts.
*than
J.K. did a masterly job about hiding Snape's intentions until the very end
I still love that when Snape pulls his wand in the Great Hall, the students gasp, but when McGonagall pulls hers, they scatter.
*>Snape pulls upMcGonagall pulls up
I never realized until now that Snape was protecting Harry the entire time. He's always been one of my top favorite characters, but watching these clips makes me like the character even more. Tough love is what I say!
"He was the bravest man I've ever met."😢
That last scene with snape hugging lily's dead body and mourning had me in tears.
10:08 "Hide her hide them all!" After all james put him through he still wanted all three to live happy. Even if it was only out of love for lily he genuinely wanted to protect James for her. This is why i love his character so much he was bullied but put it past him. Then went on to protect even if it was someone who once made his life hell.
unfortunately not in the books.
“If she means so much to you,” said Dumbledore, “surely Lord
Voldemort will spare her? Could you not ask for mercy for the
mother, in exchange for the son?”
“I have- I have asked him- ”
“You disgust me,” said Dumbledore, and Harry had never heard
so much contempt in his voice. Snape seemed to shrink a little,
“You do not care, then, about the deaths of her husband and child?
They can die, as long as you have what you want?”
Snape said nothing, but merely looked up at Dumbledore.
677
Chapter 33
“Hide them all, then,” he croaked. “Keep her- them- safe.
Please.”
@@abhishekanand6217 That was brutal stuff. He shouldn't have simped so hard for Lilly. But if he didn't, maybe Voldemort wouldn't have been defeated.
Snape is a good example of a well written character. I always thought Johanne wrote Lily based on herself and Snape might have been a real boy she knew before.
Absolutely love Snape. Perfect casting.
He is like a father. A father who love his child but must act like a villain so his child will be ready to face his demise. His arcenemy. His hardtime. To be ready. What unconditional love. His love is truly "ALWAYS"
Wow, Snape really cared and protected harry from danger without showing it as much as possible.
Snape always protected Harry as he was always in love with lily. Alan Rickman was such a fine actor. 😢
He just hated James.
Snape in the movies and snape inthe books are like completely different people Alan rickman is GOAT as snape
One thing I noticed about Snape is that in his conversations with Dumbledore, Snape was angry with Dumbledore that Dumbledore broke his promise to Snape. Snape really wanted to break free of his dark persona, but can't because it is his agreement to Dumbledore
Snape is literally the Best spy you could ever have he loved Harry's mother so much he protected him.
Snape: “No one can know…”
Dumbledore: “That I never reveal the best of you Severus?”
Always loved that line. He intended to die a villain for the greater good.
Funny thing is Harry didn’t allow that after learning the truth or the good man he was.
Honestly, even before Harry knew the truth, how did he not love Snape? If Snape hadn't saved him, he'd be dead in movie one
Very true! He could have at least said thank you
Harry named his son Severus, that's a deep memory
@@relaxwhc yeah, after he found out abt the truth. but before he never liked snape
@@whatdoes-leeknow suppose bc snape used to be horrible and spiteful towards him. And he spoke badly of Harrys dead dad
@@summer93i yeah, but can u blame him? James bullied Snape for no reason, and Snape did nothing apart from be friends with Lily
You know the dueling club actually has another moment if you think about it, when Ron gets called up Snape immediately shoots down the idea, saying that because of his broken wand he could seriously injure Harry with an out of control spell. Arguably throwing Malfoy in kept him safe too since he had direct authority over him and Slytherin as a whole.
There should be a spin-off series just on Snape. He was the secondary hero throughout the books. Rest in peace Alan Rickman 🕊️
I remember reading the books almost 20 years ago (before book 7 came out), and in every book there would be someone who said to Harry, "You have your mother's eyes." I always knew it would become very significant to the plot before the end, except that I was guessing that it would be magical in nature (like superpowers or something lol). I never expected that its significance was about the strongest force of all: LOVE, specifically Snape's undying love for Lily. 💔😭
yeah, i remember this too. in newrly every book someone would mention that he has lily's eyes
As a kid growing up with the series, I never liked Snape until Prisoner of Azkaban when he protected them. Only then did I notice what he was doing, to me it wasn't until Deadly Hallows did I realize the real true intention. Heck he's now one of my favorites from the series.
8:40 the moment I think not many people noticed, but at my mind it is so important,that we can't ignore it. When Harry steps out and accuses Snape in killing Dumbledore , Orden of Phoenix comes, and Harry assumes it was lack of defence by Snape, but at my mind, he was the exact reason why they werr able to get in, defining the fate of Hogwarts
Snape, the only man who suffered enough to care enough, and support Harry is silent, but always there, always causing Harry to keep him out of trouble, can't do more problems if you're at detencion, and in the end, seeing the great sacrifice harry had to do, he simply had enough. Sad he never saw what he helped raise. Protecting from the other side, even beyond death.
I have been always been impressed by Alan's acting skills, he is just amazing, specially in this scene
“You’re just like your father” hits different coming from snape
He instinctly protect them when Remus attack
Yeah, even if he's just following Dumbledor's plan, he cares for Harry because he's at least the remaining reminder of Lily's existence (although he hates James).
I loved Snape the whole time. I was mad when I thought he died evil. I always knew it was tough love.
🥺how this best man dies?snape ALWAYS in our heart...❤️lovely
Snape Belittles harry at 8:00 because he knows it pushes harry further.
Agree
Snape stopped voldy from reading his mind and hid his true intentions from one of most talented and evil wizards of all time. He was nearly on the level of Grindlewald, Dumbledore and Tom(human form) himself.
Snape is the only wizard in history to fly unaided besides Moldywarts.
Snape was stronger than grindy
2:55 My favourite one. Goes from pissed to full protective teacher mode in an instant
Snape was the Itachi of Harry Potter
He is@elvishamilton9308
Snape was so misunderstood. He loved Harry and Lily, but was too proud to admit it… Then it was too late…💔😭
I think it was a love hate relationship when he reminded him of his father he hated him when he reminded him of his mother he cared about him
More than that, he couldn’t admit it, to save everyone around time he had to pretend to be a villain, and he rlly didn’t deserve it.
He definitely did not love Harry, he just loved his mom.
I think not because of his ego but because of "no one can know"
This made me cringed, Snape only protect Harry for one reason and ONE reason only, and that is Lily Evans, He loved her but his son since he is also a symbolic that Lily abandoned him for a person who bullies him
Allan knowing the full story, makes his INCREDIBLE acting chops even better.
You can FEEL the rage he has at anyone he thinks lead to her death
And also, he is so fed up with Harry, but i personally feel when he looks into his eyes...he sees her..and while everything else reminds him if James....the eyes show the soul.. and Snape almost resents Harry for it. He loves her so much he does anything for Harry
I love the "GIVE ME A REASON " even tho he has the wrong man, he would GLADDLY torture and watch the torture of the man who betrayed her. I almost wish Harry went to Snape for help with things. I think we would have seen a different side. Of him
The look he has when Harry calls out Snape. It is SO PAINED. I think he did for a moment lose himself. And then realized what was happning.
"After everything I did for you.... for her .. "
In this FINAL seconds..he let the hate for James go...and saw her. And her child. Snape wasn't a good man....but he chose to not be a bad one. And when it came to it. He could have said the truth...to spare his life
But to quote another "i would have died i would have died rather than betray her"
You know that Snape really great at hiding his feeling because even Dumbledore didn't know.
6:06 look at Snape helping Harry down the stairs-what a gentlemen! 😂😂
Right??) So polite! 😂
Loooool
1:40
When you realize Snape wasn't talking about Lupin and Black's bullying days but was talking about the fact that Lily's location was betrayed and Snape was still suspecting Black.
Yup
Didn't he told voldemort about James in order to kill him .pls explain
@@NandiniSharma-by5pk Snape was the one who reported on the prophecy to Voldemort, and regretted it severely when he realized that it meant he was going to murder Lily.
He asked Voldemort to spare her, which he agreed to, but Snape knew he was not a man of his word...hence why he asked Dumbledore to help.
The line "Hide them all" shows Snape loved he enough to let her go.
Thank you Alan Rickman for all the entertainment I got from you. All the different parts you played in all the different movies you were in, you lifted the quality of all of them, you helped to make them top notch movies! We're all so lucky you chose to be an actor, and were so very good at it. Thank you
I don’t think you can get any cooler or more badass than Snape.
The most humble wizard, given the most exhausting task.
Last scene never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Snape always gonna be the best defence against the dark arts teacher.
This character is beautifully complex! Made to be hated and a heart of gold with great skills!
Shape knew how to motivate Harry in every way he could. The attacks against James, snape knew that attacking his dad would light the fire under his ass. As shitty as it was, it needed to be done.
Yes, he was in a hurry, there was no time for niceties so he had to give tough love. In a way he was like the drill sergeant in war movies whom the recruits hate but who knows they are going to a war and does everything in his power to keep them from getting themselves killed, even if it means they'll hate him for it.
I like to think that in the 5th movie, when Dolores demands the truth serum for Harry, Snape is lying that he has run out of ingredients.
Something that has bothered me about the story is why Snape told Dolores that he had any truth serum in the first place. If Dolores had used the truth serum on Snape then he would be revealed as a death eater, ruining his plan. Snape is demonstrably a master of deception, surely Snape would lie about having truth serum in order to keep Dolores in the dark.
Snape showed me how it feels like to be a double agent, the things you have to do to hold your identity and the things you have to say to make sure the "greater good" is successful
“IS HE IN THIS ROOM!?” Dumbledoor said calmly while choking Madeye’s faker to death.
Snape : "IMA KILL U POTTAH"
*1 second later*
Snape : " NOT MY STUDENT"
9:23 dude I never noticed that it was so slick I always thought that McGonagall hit them ! Cheers 🥂
Same XD
Right?! I just commented this. Thought I couldn't love Snape anymore, but this video did it. That last scene always makes me cry too.
if u pay atention when snape scapes (in black shadow shape), u can see him going to the corpes of both death eaters before scapes. people says he has catching their wands, in case they wake up
