Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, Gary Oldman and all those are iconic in their roles in Harry Potter, but I’ll always be a bit sad about that casting, because having that ‘Marauders era’ cast be age appropriate would’ve just been so much better for the story.
Sirius wasn’t this old man who spent 12 years in Azkaban, no he got locked up at 21. He spent almost third of his life in a cell. He wasn’t this wise father figure to Harry, he was a reckless thirty-something who never really got the chance to mature past 21.
Remus was an exhausted, bone deep tired man carrying both physical and mental scars from the suffering he went through. Because he’s a werewolf, because of the war, because he lost all of his friends. And he’s only 33 when first introduced.
And Snape. Snape wasn’t an old bitter man who just hated everyone and enjoyed being antagonistic. He was 31 in Harry’s first year. He began to work for Voldemort as a teen, and as a double agent at 20. He’s a thirty-something bitter man, who never got to really live or make real connections. From Harry’s perspective he’s scary and intimidating, but really he’s just kinda…sad and pathetic. And then especially that scene where Snape is begging Dumbledore to help save Lily, and promising anything in return. (Because apparently Dumbledore needs something in return…for saving people.) He’s twenty. Barely out of his teens. Rickman was good in that scene, but having someone who actually looks twenty, would better show how scared, young, guilty and just desperate he was. That might not put Dumbledore in such a good light, though.
And then, the characters I think would’ve been the most important to cast age appropriately. And most people probably already agree and know who I’m talking about. James and Lily. They were 21 when they died. When Harry sees them in the mirror of Erised, they’re 10 years older than him. That’s the age difference Ron has with Bill. In that scene I might understand somewhat them being in their thirties, because that’s what Harry wants. He wants his life with his parents, he wants to have been raised by them. Though, I don’t know if the mirror could know what they might’ve looked like in their thirties, since they didn’t live that long. But then, in the cemetery when Voldemort’s wand spits the last spells cast, we see Lily and James as they were. 21. They’re telling their son to hold on just a moment longer. And they are 7 years older than him. In Deathly Hallows, Harry sees Voldemort kill them. They’re not this happy couple who’s got to love each other for a long time, only to have that happiness torn from them, no they started at Hogwarts ten years ago. They’re 21, and they’ve barely tasted that happiness. At the end of the book Harry talks to his parents. They comfort him and promise to stay with him, as he goes to die. Harry’s seventeen. James and Lily are four years older than him.
It wouldn’t have felt as nice. Harry being comforted by someone who looks almost his age. But it wasn’t nice. It was pretty tragic. Casting people who look 21, would’ve really made it land on the audience. It was a tragedy. They were barely adults.

Snape's patronus being a doe because he's "obsessed" with Lily: too JKR of a take, I hate her
Snape's patronus being a doe because Lily was his closest friend and is associated with all of his happiest memories: much more wholesome and realistic, let us remember that platonic love is just as important as romantic love
Snape's patronus being a doe because it matches him personally, its everything he wished he could show he was, its an image his own wasted potential and shows the way he thrive to be someone better, purer, and actually acknowledge how hurt and scared he was as a child, and how brave he was to try and makeup for his terrible mistakes: my favourite take.

I'm simply in love with this scene 🖤.
When Draco fell off his broom, Severus literally jumped out of his skin -just like the mama bear he is- but Lucius was just like "Huh, whose son is he? Definitely not mine."

As a Romione shipper (and huge Ron stan) I do get mad at the way films treated my ship and favorite character but then I think about Hinny shippers and Ginny fans and I feel like I shouldn’t even complain…

“‘Sirius Black showed he was capable of murder at the age of sixteen,’ he breathed. ‘You haven’t forgotten that, Headmaster? You haven’t forgotten that he once tried to kill me?’
‘My memory is as good as it ever was, Severus,’ said Dumbledore quietly.”
like are you kidding me? are you being fr rn? snape is a better person than i am because if someone said that about my bullying and abuse i would’ve gotten scrappy and scary. victim of abuse that he knows about and his best teacher and the only one who tried to protect anyone or fix anything and is basically the reason lupin had wolfsbane at all that all just got thrown back in his face in the worst ways possible. i would’ve been in jail ten minutes later actually. holy shit man

I just read an anti-comment about "girls just want to fix Snape" and let me tell you all:
We don't want to fix him.
We want to fix the world around him so he can have a good and well deserved fuck :v

“Shhh…please don’t cry, Sevy. I’m here for you…”
And again, I’ve found an outstanding talent here on tumblr! The lovely @capysnapeart drew this beautiful piece of art as a commission for me and I’m more than happy with the outcome of my idea! This will definitely be framed and added to my walls in my Severus themed room.
Dear @capysnapeart, I’m incredibly grateful for your work and especially for your nice messages. You are a wonderfully kind person and I’m glad that I’ve found you here. Thank you for enlightening my darkness today.
Since I’m day and night in my dark room (fuck you, ME/CFS!), I’m surrounding myself with the artwork of some artists, I’ve found here on tumblr. You all are a godsend to me!
🖤 Severus and Julia 🖤

Things in the HP fandom that ✨just don’t make sense✨
Ship wars
Loving Draco but hating on Ron
Calling Snape abusive while glossing over the fact that the series takes place in an old-fashioned magic school 30 years ago.
Thinking it’s valid that just because you hate a character you can disregard their trauma
Wolfstar shippers who bash Tonks for no good reason (you can obviously not ship Remadora and ship Wolfstar, but why hate on her when she genuinely did nothing bad?)
Insisting that George should’ve died instead of Fred (that’s so disturbing??? wtf is wrong with y’all?)
Excusing literally everything the Marauders did by saying “they’re just kids” and not acknowledging that Snape was the same age
Hating on Cho, Fleur, Tonks, and Lavender (hm I wonder what they all have in common)
Hating Percy when he has an extremely realistic and understandable story and felt genuinely overlooked by his family (which he was).
Calling 9 year old Snape a creepy stalker
Acting like Hagrid was a perfect angel just because he was kind to Harry
