[@MountainFisher]

When dead Dumbledore spoke to Harry in King's Cross he said poor Severus meaning he knew Snape had died.

[@procrastinathor4594]

Well he also said, "Don't pitty the dead Harry, pitty the living." so that could suggest otherwise

[@MountainFisher]

@@procrastinathor4594 I always thought Dumbledore knew it wasn't good for Severus after he had "gone on" because of his hateful bullying of students like Neville. As Ron put it when Hermione said Snape was in the Order. "Doesn't stop him from being a git." Just because you're on the right side doesn't wipe away a life of vindictiveness. My dad said he had a Chief Petty Officer he hated as much as he did the Germans in the U-Boats and he wasn't the only one who did.🤣

My favourite fact about Snape is how he is based off of JK Rowling's least favourite teacher. And Hermoine Granger is her author self insert.

Severus is the most interesting of all the professors he’s also best suited to be Head Master but at the same time he’s also incredibly talented to be able to not allow Voldemort in his mind, the spells he created and the fact he can use them without speaking a word had he lived he would’ve been incredibly powerful

[@Pokemon-Kid112]

In the books they teach non verbal spells in sixth year. It's not just Snape that can do that. Pretty much every hogwarts (and I presume, all magic schools) graduate can do it

[@strawberrymins]

I absolutely love that theory on snaps having drunk a bad batch of liquid luck, which makes me even more sad for him and the amount of dedication and devotion he had towards his mastery of potions. I love the idea also that he failed to court lily because of it cause it does always see, weird to me that she never really stood up that much for him and even dated the one tormenting her best friend, which I couldn’t imagine myself ever doing, especially her being a Griffoendor.

[@matthewpatrick7263]

Imagine that he took it the day he called Lily a mudblood, thus ending their friendship. That would've been the day they took their OWLs. Fortunately for him, bad luck didn't stop him from knowing the answers on the tests, but right after them, James started bullying him, resulting in his losing Lily - the last good influence in his life - as a friend or potentially more.

[@strawberrymins]

@@matthewpatrick7263 makes sense!

[@lukethegoldenminecart1297]

Well i think the absence of Snape's body was due to the fact that unlike in the film, where he died in the boathouse, he died in the shrieking shack its entirely possible no one went to go get his body directly after the battle

[@dianeessex300]

The Snape/Nagini theory is actually plausible. Remembering Arthur Weasley survived when she attacked him, and AFAIK, he didn't have any special potions knowledge.

[@patrickdematosribeiro1845]

The thing is Snape was bitten in the neck where several mayor arteries are and was bleeding strongly unlike Arthur who was bitten in the ribs. And yes, he knew spells which would prevent him from bleeding out, but he would have to be conscious to cast them and since he collapsed after being bitten I don't see how he would awake in time to stop the bleeding.

[@dianeessex300]

@@patrickdematosribeiro1845 Good point.

[@jacobmccain8082]

He dies right there because that's what the plot called for 😂. Without the death it would've been really awkward seeing each other again considering he was a total dick the whole time.

[@Nyehegehe]

What i think: In the books, it is never directly said what species of snake Negini was. In the movies, the CGI snake was a giant burmese python. Snape most likely bled out, remembering that Voldemort disarmed him first.

[@Ashera5469]

Severus Snape is such an interesting man and his actir took his role with absolute seriously

[@Reddotzebra]

He even improves on it compared to the books.

[@hotcomodity21]

I think when he said bat like, he meant perhaps Snapes billowing black robes as he was flying through the air. Picture when Batman flys through the air in his cape, type of thing.

[@Jurassiccanonking]

I don’t think Snape is literally a vampire but I think the similarities are intentional to make him vampire like.

[@Larka661]

Snape is not a vampire 🙄. When I look at his whole character, I see someone literally trying to hide his real emotions. Maybe Snape stays mainly in the dark because of those emotions he constantly masks. The main emotion we see Snape express is anger. I'd probably call Snape a depressed man in denial. He bullied other students, and had favorites. He bullied Harry because he looked like his father. The man that bullied him for years and the man he lost the woman he loved to. But he bullied Neville more than anyone, because Neville could've been "the chosen one". And it made him angry.

[@bhh8005]

Vampire nope, Animagus ? Most likely

[@Stark-Raving]

So, he's The Count from Sesame Street

[@Based808]

Snape is half vampire royalty, hence The Half Blood Prince. That’s why he created sectumsempra. This is why Voldemort trusted him so, because Voldemort assumed a half-vampire would be against him. Thus, this is JKRs brilliant writing, because the half-vampire is defined by his obsessive love. All times vampires are mentioned there is a relation to Snape.

[@Labulle72400]

He is an animagus. That's how he knew for the marauders.

[@highiqwarrior]

These theory videos are nice to listen to, I get to hear stuff I never considered while reading the books or watching the movies.

[@54raynor]

I’ve long suspected that Potions Master is a much more difficult teaching position to fill than the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, since a good portion of the latter could be taught in Charms and Transfiguration. Snape could be kept in the Potions role simply because moving him to DADA would still leave a gap in the teaching staff. Remember, he only moved to the DADA role after the previous Potions Master agreed to return to the school.

[@Liutgard]

You seem to have missed the fact that Snape did become DADA professor at last, in Harry's sixth year (HBP). And JKR herself says that Snape isn't/wasn't a vampire, and her word is final.

[@theoviganestorhaug1366]

You can say that it wasen’t very good for him tho, because he ended up murdering the only person who truly believed in him being a good guy. I believe it’s also possible that Dumbledoor and Snape together could have broken the curse tho. I find it hard to believe that Dumbledoor knew that there was a curse on the job, when he gave Lupin and “Mad Eye Moody” the job. I also think that he wouldn’t have given Snape the job if he knew the curse, and he wasen’t able to break it

[@gtopnotch6012]

Snape didn't complete the year in the position and the death of Dumbledore was planned so that Voldemort would trust Snape to the fullest degree. That aspect of bad things or cursed outcomes for DADA teachers didn't apply to Snape due to the terms not being met and intentional actions being controlled. Because of the plot told to Dumbledore and how the pieces were set, he and Severus planned it out, which basically voided the curse...at least for that school year or series of events in the sixth book.

[@angelcastro3129]

Perhaps Snape was an unregistered animagus and that is why Harry saw a bat when Snape jumped out of the window and flew away... Sounds more likely than him being an actual vampire

[@LukeKenobi1]

That doesn't fit with his Patronus which is a Hind. We were told the Animagus Form always correspobds with the Patronus

[@nytestar3572]

I enjoy these videos. Thank you for sharing the content. I am curious though, you mention he was never the defense against the dark arts teacher. I thought Snape was the DADA teacher in book six the half blood prince.

[@valeriecoozennoy1069]

You're correct. In the sixth book, Professor Slughorn became the potions teacher and Snape became Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor

[@leto-nl]

He mentioned dumbledor always denied him that position to protect him but I think and this is my theory that at that time dumbledor knew that it all was going toward the end game and that it did not matter if snape got the position or not

[@HarveyMeadowlark]

That can be pretty easily explained, it’s like werewolves becoming mindless beasts when they transform, unless they use the wolfsbane potion. There could be a potion that works as a topical gel to give a vampire some limited amount of time out in the sun, and if there is, you know without a doubt Snape could have brewed it. (I don’t think Snape was a vampire, btw lol)

[@oldmovieman7550]

My all time favorite Snape theory was before the 7th book came out, people were saying that Snape was actually playing both sides against the other and waiting for his opportunity to take out Dumbledore and Voldemort and seize power for himself. Of course, that turned out to be wrong

[@Orurandokun]

The craziest i have heard was that Harry was Snape's secret son... base? Nothing, just that Snape loved Lilly.

[@TheLastCrow5150]

That. And everybody said he looked like James Potter. Except for the eyes of course.

[@Labulle72400]

Bahaha that would be dope. But those aren't facts.😂😂

[@NCThomas821]

So Snape not appearing in the forest with the Resurrection Stone is evidence that he's not dead? Seriously, the reasoning behind this is awful. Less than 30 minutes prior he learned that yeah, Snape was actually a 'good guy', but at this moment the only thing in Harry's mind is "I'm about to be murdered, I want my mommy and daddy with me right now," not "hey, maybe I'll invite the guy that's been mentally, emotionally, and physically abusing me for the last 7 years because he's actually not as bad as I though he was."

[@Jurassiccanonking]

If Dumbledore knew the DATA role was cursed, why hire Lupin or ‘mad-eye’.

[@JoeGaming93]

I imagine that he knew it was curse to make teacher not last more than a year not that they would die. Even tho quirrel died but it was due to voldy. Gilderoy lost his marbles. Lupin just quit and mad eye wasn't really him. Dolores gets fired. Snape never died when he does become teacher and survives then becomes headmaster. So he only lasted a year as well. The carrows or w.e they are called died so technically only bad people died while being the teacher of DADA well except umbrage.

[@darajeeling]

in the books, Snape is seen outside in broad daylight. So going on the books, he can not be a vampire. I love the idea of him being an unregistered animagus. IF the Marauders were able to achieve that - Snape was surely able to do the same. As for Snape being dead - I believe in him being dead. There would be nothing left for him to life for, no reason to fight. I also believe IF he did survive he would not be anymore pleasant afterwards. (do not get me wrong Snape is my favorite character - I still do not think he would be a nicer person afterwards)

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Snape is not a vampire. He willingly attended quidditch matches and even refereed one…all in full daylight.

[@Nicole_blue0406]

Well like the narrator said he could’ve brewed a potion that helped. But also Harry was playing quidditch at the time he probably went so he can protect Harry. That and it might’ve been mandatory for all professors to go.

But he bullied Neville more than anyone, because Neville could've been "the chosen one". And it made him angry. It wasn't fair to Neville nor Harry or anyone else. But thats what Snape did. Yes the death eaters knew about people in the order. And the two children that would've been Voldemort's downfall. "Born to those who have thrise defied him". Voldemort chose Harry Potter, which made snape scared. He asked Voldemort to at least spare Lily, to, for some reason, Voldemort agreed to. But Snape was still concerned, so he went to Dumbledore for help, and said hed do "anything" in return. If Voldemort just flat out killed James and Lily without offering lily her life, there would've been no story in the first place.

[@zimonzieclown1633]

Snape had a magical portrait; you can only have a portrait if you're dead.

[@Based808]

Perhaps Snape could have created a decoy to stay in hiding. I really think it’s telling that he was staring at Nagini before she attacked, before Voldemort set her on him. He was thinking one hundred steps ahead. I think he had antivenom and healed his wounds.

Snape was a smart man, he probably made his own version of the Marauders Map to keep track of them. When Harry started school he used it to keep an eye on him from a distance. He also likely learned to be an animagus once he learned that the Marauders had done so.

[@Bricksgaming710]

Imagine Snape making some liquid luck right before the Battle of Hogwarts and then taking the snake venom antidote. He's been around Voldemort for years. He knows that he can use nagini to attack people

idk if this is a good example of heightened senses but in the goblet of fire. snape had put 2 and two together when standing in the corridor with filch and mad-eye (barty crouch jr). after seeing the parchment of the map, he knew harry was nearby. even though barty crouch jr said there was nothing there. i think had snape not been stopped he would have found harry stuck in the stair

Regarding the asphodel/wormwood thing in Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone, the asphodel flower is named after the Fields of Asphodel, one of the nicer parts of the afterlife in ancient Greek mythology (basically, Tartarus is for wrongdoers, Asphodel is for good people, and Elysium is for _really_ good people), so there's another layer of meaning there.

[@SquiddyGod]

Nagini is depicted as either a Burmese python or a Reticulated python, and neither snake has venom, so that leaves me to wonder

[@P-C-Principle]

I always thought that Snape knew about the cloak since James always used it during his time at school. Snape was obsessed with trying to get one over on them. They also mention that other people have made invisibility cloaks in the past and seeing how Snape seems to be right up there with the best of them when it comes knowing magical artifacts.

[@Empire_JeSzO]

I thought voldemort didnt want to use the killing curse because he thought snape was the owner of the wand. And with his previous expericne of that backfiring when he tried to kill baby harry he was being cautious, since he didnt know how it would react upon its own master 😅

If snape is indeed a vampire then its always very much sure that he did not die. Vampires dont die from a snape bite. I dont think he was one though. He either was an unregisted animagus or the passage had no hidden meaning at all and it was indeed a dark spell he learned from voldemort

[@eranshachar9954]

Well I knew about these theories as one with favoritism to Snape. First of all Snape did became DADA teacher in year 6 but the interesting thing is the timing. Yes Dumbledore knew the job is cursed and he knew this is the year they will explode everything and take the plan into action. And something bad did happen to Snape- He died. Which brings me to the next point- Snape did die because Rowling said so and it's her story. As for him being a Vampire maybe, but he also may have been Animagus in the form of a Bat. And yes I know the form of the Animagus is the same as one's Patronus but there is a chance he is the first and last to conquer 2 forms. As for Snape's coded message I see it as almost confirmed and the last one is very likely.

Snape was raised under bad conditions he has lived in dimly lit places. He was raised in a poor household. He was not used to light as child and also when he turned to the dark arts this could not change (Malfoys Manor is also a more dark place like the Black house. And later he was completely depressed due to the death of Lily. If Voldemort would have killed him with Avada Kedavra he would not had the chance to give him the memories Harry needed to fulfil his destiny. And he wanted Harry to see in his eyes because Harry has Lilys eyes. The girl he loved all his life even when she was dead.

[@athenabaker9430]

In reference to the invisibility cloak, I actually thought, due to the fact he was a double agent, that it was actually him that gave the cloak to Harry, not Dumbledore. So he would have known Harry had it, hence him reaching out like he did when he sensed Harry. Think it has since been deemed that Dumbledore did give the cloak to Harry, although, since Snape would have had to get info to the Order in secret, and the fact he did it to save Lily, I could have seen a reason for them to entrust it to him, in attempts to keep him safe. Lily did still care about Severus, even if she didn't love him like she once did.

[@Larka661]

Some believe Voldemort used Nagini to kill Snape is because Voldemort valued Snape. Aside from believing the wand couldn't kill its masrer, but that Voldemort didn't have it in him to kill snape himself. Because you need to "mean it" to use Avada kadavra. Basically, Voldemort did not "want" to kill snape. So he used Nagini, which would still count as Voldemort killing Snape, since she was a Horcrux. And as for a potion or an antivenom, remember, Voldemort gave Nagi the power of venom. A special kind of venom created by Voldemort. Good luck making an antivenom or potion for that.

[@theoviganestorhaug1366]

But int he book, Voldemort also says “I’m sorry” in a snot sorry voice, and just walks out like nothing had happen. It’s also mentioned he can’t feel love

[@Larka661]

​@theoviganestorhaug1366 well, voldemort had his "favorite" death eaters, and snape was one of them. Voldemort saw alot of himself inside snape. He was half blood and wasn't loved by his parents. Was voldemort actually "sorry" for having to kill snape? Not really, but he wasn't happy about having to kill one of his best death eaters.

Just thought of something. In order for a wizard to take control of another wizard's wand, that wizard has to defeat the other wizard. (Like Harry did to Draco Malfoy). That explains why Lucius Malfoy's wand never worked well for Voldemort since Lucius handed over his wand. Did Voldemort ever defeat Snape? I don't remember seeing that in the books. (Not that it would have mattered, since Draco disarmed Dumbledore before Snape used the killing curse.) I don't see how Voldemort having his snake (Nagini) kill Snape would have given Voldemort control of the elder wand.

[@purplefuzzypenguin2]

Because nagini was a horcrux so she had a part of voldemort's soul attatched to her

[@tarotreadingsbysteven8545]

My theory as to why Voldemort killed snape was because he was beginning to catch on that snape was a double agent. The in universe lore about the elder wand is quite clear at that point that just disarming a witch or wizard switches the elder wands alligence. So if he thought snape was loyal and more competent than his other followers why not just say "hey snape I need you to point your wand at me and let me disarm you"

[@redcore460]

We know that there are certain plants that are best picked at particular times of day, and also that there are certain elements of magic including potion-making and lycanthropy which depend on the lunar cycle so given that it’s a core subject and not a third year option, it seems obvious that astronomy underpins a lot of other subjects even if it’s rarely referred to in the lessons we see taking place. I think that there are several possibilities for this but: if some plants are best picked at twilight then knowing the exact time of sunset for a given day (which is an astronomical calculation) would be essential to optimise the harvest; knowing the moon phases would help with potions that need to brew for specific lengths of time; and it’s also possible that there are more subtle influences of the stars and planets over other things like when a particular spell might be most powerful or when a potion is best brewed. That would also make sense of there being a space room in the Department of Mysteries: whilst the influences of certain lunar or planetary positions might be known by observation, the department might be researching *how* they influence those things. And that’s without considering more mundane things like Dumbledore and Harry needing to know the tides in order to access Voldemort’s coastal cave…

[@xgtete]

The fact that people create theories, and use the movies as evidence for them is annoying. The movies are not, never have been, and never will be, canon. The first "theory" is literally only possible if you use the events of the movies. Snape DID become the DADA professor in Half Blood Prince. It was one of the early twists in the book. So that is already a pointless, and useless "theory". Secondly, Harry "bumping into Snape and Quirrel" is again, purely a movie thing. It was used to replace the scene in which Harry follows Snape running into the forbidden forest to meet Quirrel, just after Snape refereed the Quiddich match vs Hufflepuff. That match was also played during the day in the sunlight. As for Snape's office, why wouldn't it be in the dungeons? He was the potions master, which the lessons took place in the dungeons. He was head of Slytherin house, and their common room is located in the dungeons. Again, just wild speculation that can easily be debunked just by reading the books. This entire video is filled with theories that can easily be debunked by simply reading the books.

Snape's animagus and that's why he learned to fly like Voldy, he just used a different approach. Head cannon.

[@mecahhannah]

Awesome as always thanks

[@AdamKhayam]

Maybe Snape is just an unregistered animagus. However, I really want to believe that by dying, Snape protected harry as lily did, so harry did not die, by a Snape extension of his protection. Snape love passes so often underestimated by his way of bullying students.

Snape was literally at every single quidditch game 😝 in the light

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

The fact that Snape didn’t appear from the stone doesn’t mean anything…as Dumbledore didn’t appear either.

[@jkrause365]

Re: Snape's Flight. There's another possible theory. Snape was an animagus. He took as his animal form a bat.

[@jeffbartlett8565]

If Snape has these abilities then knew Potter wasn't breaking in and stealing his supplies

[@v.j.bartlett]

I don't think Snape's a vampire BUT it would not have surprised me if it had turned out that he was a dhampire, a half breed son of a human/vampire pairing and Tobias Snape was just the man his mother had married to hide her son's real nature. It would have explained his 'patient's terrible relationship, his social awkwardness and possibly the Marauders' hatred of him as werewolves and vampire are known for not getting along and as Lupin's 'pack' James and Sirius would have used any excuse to make a half vampire's life a misery, especial as suicide is said to be the only way a dhampire can permanently die.

Nagini was a python, NON poisonous!!!!

[@clfoster82]

I hope you got a really good stretch with all the reaching done in the vampire theory cause wow

[@Nicole_blue0406]

Tom riddle aka Tom riddle was generous when he only cursed it so no one can teach the DADA post for only one year. He could’ve cursed it so that no one could teach it ever again.

05:40 "maybe snape did the same, but I really think that he achieved it another way, the vampiric way "😏

[@theafaith23]

Would love to think he didn't actually die; that was a convincing argument.

[@Reddotzebra]

Regardless of how much of a git he was towards Harry, Snape was definitely my favorite character of the books.

[@rustystevenson5688]

I don’t think he’s a vampire. He never looks like he is seeking blood and is watching Quidditch. The main reason is vampires can’t be killed by a snake bite. As for the good luck potion I think he made a good batch that made him impervious to Voldemort’s mind reading. If Snape never died then what happened to him?

[@tokyogirl2005]

I always thought Snape was an Animagus and the animal he turned into was a bat. Because sometimes in the Harry Potter some people take on the physical traits of the animal they they turn into in there humans form.

[@Monkey-fonky]

Dumbledore’s actor died😢

[@Paul-pb3nn]

I've always wondered how Snape earned money (where he worked whilst he was a death eater) in-between leaving Hogwarts as a student and becoming a professor after the first wizarding war

[@Labulle72400]

Brewing love filters.😂😂

Personally, I don't believe Snape wanted to be the DADA teacher. He only applied the first time at the direction of Voldemort. All other references to his wanting the position are hearsay and rumors. Snape only acknowledges once (to Umbridge) that he first applied to the DADA position, there is no mention of him actually reapplying for the position, again only in hearsay and rumors. As Dumbledore knew the position was cursed and he trusted Snape, It is very likely he would have told Snape this. Snape would have also seen this for himself both as a student and teacher, he was pretty smart. I also think Dumbledore was very selective in his DADA professor choice, choosing individuals who probably deserved to be cursed with the exception of Moody who was only taking the position for 1 year. Quirrell was the muggle studies professor before leaving than returning to request the DADA position, Dumbledore would have noticed changes in his personality and suspected something was not quite right. This coupled with his wanting the DADA position and maybe other information would have hinted that Voldemort was behind it. Dumbledore never believed that Voldemort was dead and kept tabs on rumors which indicated Voldemort was in Albania where Quirrell had just returned from. Snape spent most of the year trying to get information from him for Dumbledore. Lockhart, Dumbledore had friends who Lockhart stole their stories and memories from. Dumbledore knew he was a fraud and probably wanted him punished or at least exposed. Snape would have hated him regardless of the position due to Lockhart's overall personality. Lupin, Dumbledore acknowledges that he was hired because he suspected Lupin in working with Serious Black and maybe something to do with the Potters deaths. Snape had a grudge with him from when they were in school. He also may have blamed him for Lily's death as Lupin was friends with Serious who was sent to Azkaban for betraying the Potters. Moody, hired as added security, was only going to be there for 1 year. Moody was a powerful Auror who knew Snape's past. Snape avoided him Umbridge, Dumbledore didn't hire her but he knew that if he said that he couldn't find someone for the position that the ministry would fill it with their own lanky. With everything that was going on at the time, he probably had a good idea who the ministry would choose. No one (other than Filch) liked her. Snape, put in the position only after Voldemort's acknowledged returned, the person who originally wanted Snape in that position. By putting Snape in the the position, it would have put Snape in a better position of trust with Voldemort. Dumbledore already knew he was dying and that he wanted Snape to kill him. He knew the ministry would fall. He needed Snape in the best position of trust with Voldemort. As for Snape looking triumphant when he became the DADA professor? He was a double agent, he knew the rumors, he knew what was expected of him, he would play his part. Even if it meant looking happy to be put in an obviously cursed position he never really wanted.

I disagree that snape would have appeared when harry got the stone. To me all snape did didn't overcome all the bullying he did. Harry maybe forgave him/some readers might have, BUT to me Snape is still a bully. Plus he wasn't what dumbledore, his parents, lupin, and sirius were.
