severus is a better person than me, bcs he could've gone on his cute death eater mask and attire, sorted james and sirius' location, crucio them a bit before murdering them, and yet he never did. people like to talk about severus as though as if he was the worst human being in hp, but he never took actual revenge on the golden boys, or they wouldn't have lived past 18 if he did, duh.

"snape knew more curses when he arrived at school than half the kids in seventh year."

so what, sirius! did you ever die? were you damaged permanently? no???? then shut the fuck up! severus was supposed to be an expert on dark arts, surely had the means to do horrendous stuff with all his knowledge, and he still didn't, even after joining the death eaters he still had more regard for life than sirius did when he sent severus to the shrieking shack.

god, sometimes i wish severus was as awful as people think he was. the same guy who was worried for his soul if he killed the only person he appreciated, which was probably very fucking hard for him to do.

#i actually love severus for being softer than people take him to be #severus was the sort of person whose foul mouth and temper got him in trouble— #but was cautious about life and didn't resort to physical violence to solve his problems. #he had a fascination for a form of magic we don't have evidence of him ever using and yet people hate him for it to THIS day #i'm so tired. #severus snape #pro severus #snapedom
