Things that the Harry Potter films left out about Snape
Called Lily a mudblood, then tried to cover himself by saying that she alone was different from other muggleborns
Didn’t see a problem with his friends performing Dark Magic on Mary MacDonald, compared it to the Marauders pranks
Dropped a tree branch on Petunia
Attacked Remus in PoA whilst he was trying to explain things and literally said the words ‘I’ll drag the werewolf. Perhaps the Dementors will have a kiss for him too’
Continued to refuse to listen to Sirius’s explanation even though he was being compliant and had only once tried to fight back, without magic, after Snape attacked Remus
After he found out he wasn’t actually going to get an Order of Merlin, or have the satisfaction of seeing two innocent men in jail, he exposed Remus as a werewolf
Ripped a photo of James and Lily and Harry being happy and in love and a family in half and stole the half with Lily on it
Actively tried to get the Marauders expelled from Hogwarts
Dumbledore was ‘disgusted’ by his attitude towards James and Harry
Harry distrusted Snape that much he literally thought he was trying to poison Remus
Abused his position as Head of House to unfairly reward points to Slytherin and take points from other houses, especially Gryffindor, far beyond the extent it was shown in the movies
Told Neville he would feed Trevor Neville’s failed potion so the possibly fatal results would teach him a lesson
Mocked Tonks when her Patronus changed, despite the fact his also changed to match Lily’s
Insulted Hermione’s appearance and told her he didn’t see any difference after Draco cursed her teeth to grow and then watched as she ran out crying

Although it was so early in the morning a certain softness was perceptible in the fresh air. After all, it was already the end of August.

This breaks my heart and also warms it. Its so terrible that he is so close to James and Lily now, closer than ever before. Its poignant and sad and awful. But Hermione’s head on his shoulder is bestfriend goals for life.
“But they were not living, thought Harry: They were gone. The empty words could not disguise the fact that his parents’ moldering remains lay beneath snow and stone, indifferent, unknowing. And tears came before he could stop them, boiling hot then instantly freezing on his face, and what was the point in wiping them off or pretending? He let them fall, his lips pressed hard together, looking down at the thick snow hiding from his eyes the place where the last of Lily and James lay, bones now, surely, or dust, not knowing or caring that their living son stood so near, his heart still beating, alive because of their sacrifice and close to wishing, at this moment, that he was sleeping under the snow with them.”

Outside the window
Sky and earth exchange silver.
In the moonlight I forget I’m human.
