[@bluebird7488]

Haku infinite Harry didn’t read the counter curse. He only used sectumsempra and he was the only one to know about the spell

[@cjg8763]

@@bluebird7488 not true. In Deathly Hallows it is mentioned by, I believe, Remus Lupin that Snape has long been known for his use of sectumsempra, that it was a specialty of his. So other people definitely knew about the curse, but probably not that he was its originator.

[@turtlesarecool]

But Snape didn't create the counter curse to sectumsempra. It was used by Grindelwald in the secrets of Dumbledore to heal the qilin's wounds, before Snape was even born. This video got it wrong, but only because the information wasn't out at the time I don't think

[@riffdex]

@@turtlesarecool Just an example of retroactive continuity. It seems clear that the implication was that Snape originated it, but then the screenwriters decided it would be cool to add it to a film that preceded Snape.

So responsible he left a textbook with a dangerous spell written inside, in a school filled with inexperienced young wizards 😉

[@DarthAbaddon6480]

Honestly speaking, if Snape had lived a much longer life, I feel that he could've indeed been in league with wizards like Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald. Maybe not the same exact tier, but close enough. All the aforementioned wizards showed great talent during their formative years as well, so Snape could be close to reaching their skill and status as a great wizard known world wide.

​@banu prakash dueling is a bullshit bar to base a wizard's abilities by.

[@ricemenarq6230]

@banu prakash so? Was Dumbledore ever in a position where he had to Double agent for more than 18 years for the greatest Legilimens in the world? It's easy to lose duels to James and Sirius when they have Remus and Pettigrew to back them up. 4 vs 1 as 15 year olds with limited dueling knowledge. ADULT James didn't last a fucking second against Voldemort. Book Snape dueled McGonagall, Flitwick and Slughorn at the same time and survived.

He may be a tad bit weaker that all of them but he was smarter than all three of these combined might as well throw marauders in there for extra credit.

[@TheFallenAdonael]

Really, there’s a few reasons for Hogwarts to teach Latin as a requirement (and one or two reasons for them not to). I was horrified at Sectumsempra, even before Harry used it. I recognized it’s meaning (“Always cut” or “cut forever”) and I was praying that Harry wouldn’t use it (if he knew Latin enough to understand its meaning, then I’m confident he might’ve hesitated at least). It makes me even more pissed off at the Mauraders- their bullying pushed Severus to this kind of level. How angry do you have to be to create a spell that, by its very meaning, would never stop cutting who it strikes? If Severus had ever used that on the Mauraders, I don’t think he’d be around for the series still. I wonder if him creating that spell was a last ditch effort...

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

I had no idea it was based on Latin words. I thought it was just a totally made up word

[@hathawyn]

Tara Elizabeth Densley nearly all the spells in HP are based in either English (muffliato - muffle, wingardium leviosa - wing+levitate, etc) or Latin (lumos - light, accio - activate/retrieve, etc). Notably, Snape apparently really liked the Latin names, since most of the ones here come from Latin. The exception to the English/Latin rule are the very few ones based on existing expressions (eg Avada Kedavra based on Abracadabra).

[@emberpersephone]

Just finished the movies for the first time and now I definitely intend to read the books. Even when he appeared villainous, Snape has always been my favorite.

[@__Wanderer]

I thought, in a way, Snape might actually be more powerful than voldemort or at least his equal. He managed to deceive him for many years without him finding out about his true allegiances- * when teaching Harry how to block Voldemort from reading his mind it must have been possible for Snape to withstand the scrutiny of Voldemort for years... When fighting harry he also barely seemed bothered by the spells used, as if he wasn't even trying. Again when fighting mcgonagall & flitwick snape had no issue fighting both at the same time, two professors at hogwarts... Instead of fighting (and winning perhaps which I think he easily could have) he decided to run to avoid hurting anyone. When fleeing he also seemed to be able to "fly" just using magic - something very few wizards seem able to do.

[@Norinia]

After playing Hogwarts Legacy, and seeing how ridiculously stuck in their ways wizards could be, I absolutely see Snape as an incredible genius, absolutely in the same league of Dumbledore and Voldemort. Just an easy example, there’s a boy who’s trying to solve his sister’s blood curse. Instead of discussing the problem at all, his uncle just storms up and evaporates whatever the poor kid has in his hands, not willing to listen to a single word the boy utters, and describes him trying to find a cure no one else has as ‘pure arrogance’ (specifically “YoU tHiNk YoU kNoW mOrE tHaN tHe HeAlErS aT sAiNt MuNgOs?!?)

Snape's family likely couldn't afford Hogwarts even tho he probably already had an established spot. If so then he'd be like Tom Riddle and have the scholarship, which meant he didn't own his books at the end. Thus, them ending up back in the cupboard. And, tbh, Snape probably thought he was well past needing something so simple. His disdain for the book itself and how it was written was clear in his notes. He wasn't a fan.

[@ricemenarq6230]

I wouldn't say Snape "invented" Levicorpus. The "Levi" root word was taught to first year students. The "corpus" part was merely focusing the magic on a certain part of the body. It's like Hermione's "Oculus Reparo" spell in the train. The "Oculus" obviously refers to Harry's glasses but as their magical prowess improves to the level of McGonagall or Dumbledore they just need to cast "Reparo" even nonverbally sometimes on a whole area and the spell takes effect.

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

It sure is weird that Snape was so good at potions he literally changed the rules in his school books to get fantastic results yet never once teaches a modified instruction set or writes and assigns a book himself. Almost like this was 100% retconned into existence regardless of what Joanne claims. If he was really this passionate and good at his job he'd want the students to know how cool he was by correcting the book so they knew he was the best. On that note: Slughorn is an accomplished potions master too. How did he not know of these techniques and why wasn't he teaching them? Any professor that sees a student excelling, and that professor is worth their salt, would want to observe the student and speak to them to help mold them to be even better and maybe even learn from them.

[@de.n30]

I don't think Snape was interested in everyone knowing how good he was. That's his whole biography.

[@l.n.3372]

Actually that's not true. Snape always teaches by his own standard. Remember that he writes the instructions before every class on the board with a flick of the wand. They never use a textbook until slughorn class in 6. Snape uses his own version of the potions in every class from 1-5. Snape already proved his brilliance but it went unnoticed by students and even fans because they assumed he wrote what was in the text. In reality he didn't.

Harry never sought out to become a part of Slughorns Slug Club, Slughorn wanted to “collect” The Boy Who Lived, as one of his many successful students. Hell! He even brags about it to Harry, after he stops playing hide-and-seek:armchair edition. Dumbledore knew that Horace was a bit of a megalomaniac snob, and even brought Harry along when he went to offer the former Potions Professor his job back, because the opportunity to “claim” the most famous wizard in Britain would be to tempting to turn down the offer.

Man Snape is smart and such a in depth character as well as Sirius Black. My two favorite heroes. Thank you.

I would wonder why that book went undetected by teachers and why snape would be careless enough to leave it lying around.

[@Dunkelelf3]

i thought about that too. most likely was it placed intentionally. dumbledore needed harry to successfully become one of slughorns chosen ones and join the club and the easiest way would be for harry doing great in his potions class. so i think he made snape drop it there. after all some recipes in the book where straight up wrong apparently. hermione did in fact follow them to the letter and her potions where rubbish while harry following snapes instructions created perfect potions. and i mean dumbledore knew that harry hated potions and that the reason was snape. but he also knew snape wouldn't teach potions that year but slughorn. idk. it makes sense to me. dumbledore knew everything that happened in hogwarts and pulled a lot of strings behind the scenes to teach harry what he had to know in order to beat voldemort. like in year four where he had barty/fake moody teach them the unforgiveable curses. he knew that voldemorts return would come soon due to snape having the dark mark and if it wasn't for those datda classes he would most likely not have survived the duel with voldemort.

I like the batte between Harry and Draco in the book better. In the movie after he hits Draco with Sectumsempra Harry kind of just stands there and looks at Draco. I get it, he’s probably in shock, but in the book, as you stated, he plunges towards him to try and help him. It shows that despite Harry and Draco being foes, Harry still has a good heart and showed genuine concern and somewhat remorse towards Draco after using the spell on him

[@eclipse4631]

One of the things that may be wrong about this video is the counter-curse for Sectumsempra: Vulnera Sanentur. Just recently about a month back, when I watched Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, I heard Gellert Grindelwald say out loud the incantation: Inanima Vulnera Sanentur. This restored the blood that had been lost when the Qilin was slashed across the neck by Grindelwald himself. After getting out of the theaters, I realized that it was a variant of Vulnera Sanentur, the spell used by Snape on Draco in the Half-Blood Prince. I immediately did some research and got interested. What I found was that, nowhere is there something that definitively says in the books/movies/any other form of canon that it was developed by Snape. This brings up the possibility (and most likely case) that Vulnera Sanentur wasn't developed by Snape. This means that Snape probably found the spell somewhere else and perhaps decided that it would work as a counter-curse for Sectumsempra. What is also more interesting is that on Pottermore (which is approved by Rowling herself), there are only 6 spells listed that were developed by Snape (All of them excluding Vulnera Sanentur). Just something I thought was interesting (and an opportunity to correct someone, which I like to do a lot when I see questionable info). (Let me know if anyone else has any other info to support this theory).

[@shimomo6152]

I feel like Snape is a way better duelist than we think. The marauders never attacked him 1 on 1. He was repeatedly bullied by them for years. Think about the psychological damage that does during a fight. He was 15 and more scared of them than anything else at that point. Later on, book Snape would duel with McGonagall, flitwick etc while obviously not going all out since he was secretly on their side and still held his own. Snapes OP af.

Can we honestly talk about Sectumsempra is the counter offensive to the Killing curse? Avada Kedavra has six syllables whereas Sectumsempra has four.

Snape was a master duelist that had enough skill to rise to the inner circle of Death Eaters at a relatively young age. Goddamn that flipping snake...

Even worse, the only way to stop the victim from bleeding out, you need a spell that only snape himself knows, so even if someone would come in time to find the victim, there would be no way to save the life...
