- Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing the life of the infamous Professor Severus Snape-in under 10 minutes.
With a life like Severus Snape’s, that created such public-not to mention INFAMOUS-speculation throughout the wizarding world, it’s easy to understand why so many of the videos and resources out there describing his life are so, so VERY long. But, I know that not all of you have the time to sit back, crack open a six pack of Fanta and listen in for hours at a time. This, of course, doesn’t mean that you don’t WANT to know about Severus. You just have other places to be and things to do. I get it.
So, it’s to you that I dedicate this video: The Life of Severus Snape in 10 Minutes!
Let’s get started.

Snape: I can teach you how to put a stopper in death.
Also Snape: Dies
RIP Alan Rickman
Heroes never die
Like I'll always love my math teacher 😂 I was twelve. I told a friend he was handsome😂😂 she told him and I had to play hate for 4 long years.😂 If I should replay a relationship that's not with my parents 😂😂😂
Careful, careful. While it is clear that Tobias Snape was a moody bugger who sometimes shouted at his family, there is no actual canon evidence that he was either drunk or physically abusive. From the few lines which we do have, all sorts of romanticised scenarios have grown and it pays to distinguish between canon and fanon. Here is the evidence we do have about Snape's early childhood.
His clothes were horribly mismatched, his hair and face were dirty, his skin was sallow and he was small and thin. As a socially-aware individual, this tells me he was likely neglected and left largely to his own devices, was never taught how to care properly for himself and probably suffered from malnutrition (the sallow skin is a sign of poor health if not the thin stature). At home, his parents argued, sometimes violently (Harry sees this in the pensieve during occlumency lessons) and young Severus got his impression of muggles largely from this behaviour - which was only reinforced when he met Petunia Evans. While you don't have to go very far to assume that physical abuse was in the mix, it is an extrapolation and this needs to be made clear.
Furthermore, I do not believe his 'love' for Lily was either romantic or healthy. Of course, he can hardly be blamed for this - not exactly having good role models. He had never been properly socialised and it seems to me, from the argument over James which Harry saw in the pensieve during the Battle, that he may even have ended up as controlling as his father.
“Snape's whole face contorted and he spluttered, ‘Saved? Saved? You think he was playing the hero? He was saving his neck and his friends' too! You're not going to -I won't let you - ‘
‘Let me? Let me?’
Lily's bright green eyes were slits. Snape backtracked at once.” (DH, Ch33).
Yes, he backtracked but his first impulse was to control.
Then there is that photo (which doesn't appear in the film). He stole a Potter family photo from Grimmauld Place which belonged to Harry whom, Snape would have known, would not have had any childhood photos of his own. That is a particularly nasty, childish, vindictive and spiteful act which is unworthy of his myriad gifts. He then compounded this reprehensible behaviour by defacing it so that he could take the portion which showed Lily, along with the second page of the letter which held her love. Now I think we’re into the territory of obsession. He was obsessed with the entire Potter family in differing ways.
Note that he never bullied Harry where an authority figure was present. On the one occasion where a teacher (Umbridge) was watching he actually responded to Harry’s lack of attention to his work by giving him a make-up essay - which shows me that he knew what he should be doing as a teacher, but mostly decided not to do it.
I have experience of being on the wrong end of authoritarian bullies and this is exactly their tactic. They always hurt the children where none of their colleagues are around to stop or report them. Their acts are completely conscious; they know what they are doing, why they are doing it and they know they can get away with it because they are in authority.
However, Snape was redeemable - as I believe most people are. But his life and circumstances made it difficult for this to happen and he died before he could have the chance. This is very sad but definitely not romantic. I blame Hollywood.
For what it's worth, from my point of view, Severus Snape redeemed himself as best he could after finding himself in a very bad place, largely due to having been badly bullied by a large group of people. Those bullies had been so hostile largely because of James's jealousy of Snape's friendship with Lily. I can see how someone might disagree with this assessment, but that's the way it looked to me.
Snape is such a fascinating and complex character. Unlike any i've seen in fiction. Alan Rickman played him brilliantly.
I'll never forget the way I felt when I read it was Snape's Patronus that put the Sword of Griffindor in the lake.
It was a sensation of "oh!" I was quiet for a long long time thinking and thinking about it.
It was a beautiful scene both in the books and in the movies.
😭😭😭 crying in Snape.😂
@@falanu103. Two of us here crying 😭
And what if i do have hours i wanna spend watching a video on the life of snape?😂
GREAT VIDEO 💗!!! Rest in Peace Alan Rickman my only acceptable professor Severus Snape
I will always love Alan Rickman.
RIP Alan Rickman 😢
Snape became a death eater around the age of 17, lily died at 21 and snape died at 38. I’m honestly really glad that the movies aged the characters up.
Awesome thanks as always ❤
Utterly redeemable? Try utterly obsessed.
Snape didn't get redeemed as everyone thinks he did!!! He was way too mean to all but his house which was CHILDISH in the extreme!!!
I completely agree. He was mean and bullied Neville. He was also mean to Hermoine.
such an amazing talent: taken way too soon 😰😰
Alan Rickman made me love Snape. I cried when Snape died and when Rickman died.
Finally I reached that level😂
I’d like to see someone answer this question: in chamber of secrets how did they un-petrify Nick
With the same potion they used on everyone else. I presume Madame Pomfrey sprayed it in a gaseous form since Nick couldn't drink it.
I've only seen the movies. How did Snape torment Neville?
He bullied him and made him gut frogs. Because Neville wasn't very good at potions Snape would literally just pick on him incessantly. Threatened to poison Neville's toad. You can see how having to gut a barrel of toads would be upsetting to someone who had a pet frog named Trevor.
@@MountainFisher Damn!
@@drdreddmanofmystery9482 Read Prisoner of Azkaban, Snape was pretty foul to Neville in that book in particular.
snape was and is awesome, except for his fixation with lily but nobody is perfect
I think he was so terrible to Nevile was that he felt being a pureblood, like he always wanted, was wasted on Nevile. Not an excuse, but maybe a reason.
Wrong. Snape hated Neville so much because if Voldemort had chosen to go after Neville rather than Harry, Lily would still be alive.
Fanta? Faen ta Fanta!
