As Rowling sees it, Snape eventually sacrificed himself in order to save Harry at the Battle of Hogwarts, so Harry felt the need to honor him. There's a whole essay in why Harry gave his son Snape's name, but the decision goes to the heart of who Harry was, post-war.
“Snape died for Harry out of love for Lily,” she replied. “Harry paid him tribute in forgiveness and gratitude.” The epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows revealed that Harry went on to marry Ginny and have three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus (named after Snape) and Lily Luna.
Harry named each of his children after individuals who exemplified bravery, in different ways: Snape, willing to die for love; Dumbledore, who chose to die for the greater good; Lily, James, and Sirius, all devoted to protecting Harry, even when it was dangerous; and Luna, whose bravery is in her courage to be herself ...
What would Snape have thought of Harry naming his son after him? A groan in consternation and an eye roll. Snape didn't want Harry to honor him-just to stay out of his way and kill Voldemort.
Albus Severus Potter was born in or around the year 2006, and was the second child of Harry Potter and Ginny Potter. He was named in honour of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. His godfather was Neville Longbottom.
Much of the plot hinges on Harry's tumultuous relationship with his son, Albus — a relationship that culminates in Harry saying, “Sometimes I wish you weren't my son!” And I knew, in my heart of hearts, that Harry would never say that. He just wouldn't.
The acclaimed author explained that Harry paid tribute to Snape because of “forgiveness and gratitude.” Though Snape bullied Harry, he also saved him. “Harry hoped in his heart that he too would be forgiven.
A Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Snape is hostile to Harry due to his resemblance to his father James Potter, who bullied Snape during their time together at Hogwarts. As the series progresses, Snape's character becomes more layered and enigmatic.
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.
Now, as firmly established, Snape was not the greatest fan of Harry, but that didn't mean that he ever stopped loving Lily. Dumbledore was surprised that Snape seemed to care for the boy. With a swish of his wand, Snape conjured up a Patronus – Lily's Patronus, a doe. 'Always,' he said.
Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor, as is his great-grandfather Albus Dumbledore. Harry/Tonks. On his sixteenth birthday Harry gets a surprising visitor: the ghost of his ancestor Godric Gryffindor.
Dumbledore reveals how thoroughly he loves Harry. Harry is brave, and Dumbledore is proud as any father would be. More than that, Dumbledore succumbs to a parent's weakness; he cares more about Harry's happiness and wellbeing than the wizarding world he is trying to protect.
Following Lord Voldemort's defeat at the hands of her student Harry Potter and the deaths of Headmasters Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape, McGonagall takes the position of Headmistress.
His father was a muggle.
His father was neglectful and sometimes abusive, which may have contributed to Snape's disdain for Muggles. At some point during his school years, he decided to reject his father's name entirely, giving himself the moniker "The Half-Blood Prince" with his mother's maiden name instead.
The name was accurate, as he was indeed from half-blood lineage. Snape's mother was a witch named Eileen Prince, while his father was Tobias Snape, a muggle. In terms of story-writing purposes, it draws a parallel to Harry, who was also a half-blood because his mother, Lily, was muggle-born.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
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.
"Lily! After all this time?" he asked and "Always," replied Snape. Snape having the same Patronus, the doe, as Lily symbolized his everlasting love and unwavering devotion towards her. He hadn't stopped loving her after their last altercation, marriage to James Potter, or death.
He doesn't trust Snape as Dumbledore does, but he believes that he can detect any disloyalty. Moreover, Voldemort regards Snape as highly intelligent and therefore ' as a true Slytherin ' a person whose top priority is to take care of himself. To his twisted mind, selfless equals stupid.
He protects Harry while pretending to be his enemy. He sacrificed his own life to protect him. It all goes back to Lily: Snape loved her, but she chose someone else, which explains his feelings toward her son. "Professor Snape, Harry." "Yes, him - Quirrell said he hates me because he hated my father.
Professor Snape is dead on Voldemort's orders, and Harry saw it all. In his dying moments, he told Harry to take his memories and look at him one last time. Voldemort's voice then sounded through the corridors, challenging Harry to meet him in the Forbidden Forest in an hour. This is the end.
In order to preserve his position as a trusted Death Eater, Severus Snape was forced to tell Voldemort the true date at which the Order planned to move Harry.
Protecting him against Quirrell
During the Quidditch match, Harry believes that Snape is trying to hex him, but in reality, Snape is trying to counteract the hex placed on Harry by Quirrell. It's clear that Snape has been secretly working behind the scenes to help Harry since the very beginning.
