>jerk to kids
bleh, why not, they got themselves into danger every five minutes
>is evil
nope, a dick sure, but not evil, helps harry deal with opposition, and also literally, like in book 1 he was protecting the kids (like when Quirrell was fucking with them at quidditch)
>supports voldemort
because opposing him means death
>i dont know what you're saying here desu

He was also the only Professor watching Quidditch, including the wise and supremely talented headmaster, who had the common sense to realise Harry's broom was being possessed
He was the only one who thought that Ron and Harry exposing potentially countless muggles to a flying car and going on a joyride across the country, instead of sending a message via owl or something, was worthy of more punishment than a light slap on the wrist and a mirthful twinkle from Dumbledore's eyes.
He was the one who realised Lupin was a gigantic retard that couldn't follow the one simple safety protocol that prevented him from becoming a nigh-unstoppable child-killing machine, and went out of his way to brew the ridiculously complex medicine for it, despite having almost been killed due to the negligence of the man's friends and the headmaster in his own youth

Snape was a malevolent, crooked bastard, but he was basically the only authentic-feeling character in the whole series, which is unsurprising, given that his entire secret character arc was that he was slavishly devoted and penitent to the memory of some capricious roastie that fucked and married the leader of his schoolday tormentors. Only a woman could come up with that sort of cuckoldry.

Epic Franchising aside, it sorta feels like Philosopher's Stone works as a completely standalone story. And a central theme to that is the reveal at the end that Snape is a cunt but that doesn't make him evil.

He was an undercover agent in Voldemort's crew and Dumbledore had asked him before that he should be the one killing him due to the master wand thing that one can only own it if they defeat its previous owner. That way he made sure the wand couldn't be truly owned by voldie or one of his cronies.

Despite all this, Harry named his kid after him instead of Hagrid. What the fuck was Rowling thinking?

>What the fuck was Rowling thinking?
>Rowling
>thinking

He's a good foil to the naive Harry who brings him down to earth. No good hero story without some competent antagonism.

This. If transphobes like “her” actually thought, they wouldn’t be the way they are.

Correct. And women see that as the complete redemption of his life.

Won't abide any shit talk about Lupin. Lupin was another revealing bit of how shitty Snape was

Snape was based and is the number one Hogwarts wingman

>Lupin was a gigantic retard that couldn't follow the one simple safety protocol that prevented him from becoming a nigh-unstoppable child-killing machine
He only forgot to drink it once because he was too shocked to realize that Pettigrew was alive.

>be some miserable autist doing your job for a decade or two
>all of a sudden, some punk freshman enrolls in your class
>"oh, its the chosen one! the one who ended the dark lord!"
>kid walks into class with wealth and fame you never had
>kid has no obvious knowledge or skill but you've had those forever
>renowned headmaster has an inexplicable boner for him
>kid is the product of your bully nemesis and childhood love
>his existence reminds you of her death

hmm...i wonder if JK did have a big picture from the beginning. his anger makes sense

>He only forgot to drink it once
This is like saying the aids-infected swimming teacher only forgot his bandage once

it was revealed that he was good all along in the end of book 1

He was what, like, 36 in this image?

He was a deep cover double agent

sneed & dilate, or maybe read the books to understand the story more

Didn’t he only become a double agent when Voldemort targeted his oneitis?
I think prior to that he just liked the sound of muggle genocide.
