Snape even said that he didn't want anyone to find out that he was protecting Lily's child, “especially Potter's son” (pg. 679 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) because of his hatred for
Warner Bros. Severus Snape is one of the most divisive characters in the entire "Harry Potter" series. He was a double agent, so many character details were kept a secret. His mother was a witch and his father was a Muggle, leading to the moniker "The Half-Blood Prince."
because he never wanted anyone's pity. Snape would be in effect serving Dumbledore to keep safe the son of his abuser, the man that the only woman he ever loved -after she turned her back to Snape- married and had a child with. Snape wanted to save Lily, he didn't want anything to do with JP or H.
He said, "According to Victorian flower language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning 'my regrets follow you to the grave' and wormwood means 'absence' and also typically symbolizes bitter sorrow." If you combined that, Snape's words mean "I bitterly regret Lily's death."
First, he is the one using the killing curse on Dumbledore even though he doesn't want to and now the one person he swore to protect must die? This was the reason why Snape had said “he didn't want to do this anymore”. He did not want to do Dumbledore's work i.e kill him.
Here's the thing: Dumbledore knew that Snape was mean to the students, but the headmaster still allowed it. It's likely that he did this because he believed that his students needed life lessons, including how to deal with mean teachers.
Snape hated Neville because he was a daily reminder Lily Potter could have lived. Snape's guilt over his part in her being targeted by Voldemort in the first place was bad enough, but to see a living, breathing reminder that things could have played out differently even after that act made Snape particularly vicious.
Image via Warner Bros. Similarly to Harry, Snape's patronus represents a person. In the memories he gives Harry before his death, Snape shows Dumbledore his patronus, using the form to prove his love of Lily Potter, Harry's mother.
In "Deathly Hallows," Snape also uses his Patronus to help Harry on his quest to find Voldemort's horcruxes; a Patronus charm can be used to send messages, and Harry seems to subconsciously recognize the doe as an extension of his mother, allowing him to trust it.
Artemis's sacred animal was a deer. In Potter, Snape's Patronus, a soul-guarding magic spell, takes the form of a deer—more specifically, a doe—as a symbol of his love for Lily, because hers was a doe as well.
Snape didn't necessarily mean for Harry to see those other memories, they just slipped out as Snape passed away, reflecting on his life. He specifically asks Harry to look into his eyes, so perhaps seeing Lily's eyes brought up his memories of her.
Harry Potter named his son after the character Professor Severus Snape in tribute to him dying for “for Harry out of love for Lily [Potter],”JK Rowling revealed on Friday.
He didn't tell him, because there was always a possibility of Voldemort peeking in Harry's mind and seeing that piece of information, because if voldy had learned that snape was a traitor, he would have killed him, and hid all the horcruxes into more safe places, that was the same reason why snape didn't gave harry the ...
Harry also happened to be Snape's least favorite student.
Severus Snape's last words to Harry were simply "Look at me", to see Lily Evans' eyes once more before he died.
There were many things Snape actually liked, but probably only one he ever truly loved. Look no further than his Patronus, which remained a doe even after all those years. Though she left this world, Lily Evans never left Snape's heart. For many, it was proof that he had one to begin with.
1 Albatross
As the rarest Patronus in the Wizarding World possible, the Albatross represents an enormous bird that flies freely across any sea. This rare Patronus represents those who are simultaneously fearless, optimistic, happy-go-lucky, and ambitious.
As Rowling explained in a series of tweets, Snape loved Harry's mother, Lily, and his unrequited affection drove him to resent Harry's father, James — and by extension, Harry himself.
So when Ron said three, it wasn't a mistake. He meant there were three more horcruxes to destroy before being able to destroy the fourth and final piece which was in fact Voldemort himself.
Yes, Dumbledore did ask Snape to kill him so Draco wouldn't. Dumbledore did indeed ask Snape to kill him, so that Draco wouldn't either succeed and maim his own soul, or more likely fail and be killed by the Dark Lord for his almost inevitable failure. "All the same, try.
Voldemort trusts Snape because he's good at his job as a double spy and as an Occlumens. Voldemort is so conceited that he probably just doesn't expect Snape could be a better Occlumens than he is a Legilimens.
They were close friends, she saw in him someone special that she could care about. But she couldn't be with him. So, it seems like it was very unlikely that Lily ever found out Snape loved her.
So Snape was cruel, biased towards his house, and downright rude to his students: this we can't deny. Calling poor Hermione an 'insufferable know-it-all', for example, was pretty terrible.
Voldemort learned that there were two boys that met the requirements of the prophecy: Aside from Harry Potter, the other was Neville Longbottom, who was born on 30 July, 1980, to a pair of Aurors who, like James and Lily Potter, had directly defied Voldemort on three separate occasions.
No matter the cause, it's clear that Snape loathed that Hermione was so smart and so willing to answer any and all questions during class. He even called her an 'insufferable know-it-all" at one point, even though she was literally doing nothing more than answering his questions.
