Yeah, sometimes I feel like Snape hated James so much because he wanted to protect Lily's innocence, sort of like a protective brother. This is why James' Patronus is a stag and Snape's is another doe. Does are a symbol of innocence and they aren't sexualy attracted to other does. I know people think Snape was obsessed with Lily and she got "friendzoned" but I really think all he wanted was to be her friend. I mean, Sirius seemed pretty obsessed with James too, and they were also childhood best friends

[@LuisSierra42]

Always

[@LoganBluth]

@@aceash459 That's..... actually *_worse_* than Snape being sexually attracted to Lily and jealous that she chose James. That implies that Snape sees Lily more as an object than as an actual person, an object that he feels he should have control over, what with your idea that he wanted to prevent her from "losing her innocence". It also suggests some pretty messed up, misogynistic views on female sexuality.

My favorite thing about Hogwarts is that the whole series I was thinking at the end all the houses were going to come together but....nope, Slytherins are just all irredeemably evil. And the teachers know this. And they teach them magic anyway.

[@FirebirdPrince]

This was my one gripe with the closing. Rowling kinda showed this split-off with Snape, Slughorn and Draco (though none of their history are clean) but never really applied it to the entire house. Only during a random interview she explicitly stated that Slughorn brought some Slytherins along to help but it would've been much better to have seen/read this when it was happening

[@teddyhaines6613]

@@FirebirdPrince And to be fair to the Slytherin students, it really doesn't make a ton of sense for them to help defend Hogwarts considering how many of their parents are on the other side.

[@Tchika]

I always wondered: since the kids already knew before the sorting, that "There's not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.", what are you supposed to do, when you are put there?

Romantic comedies are entirely based on "barely an inconvenience". 😅 Ryan'd have to cover the full 120 minutes of the movie. Not that I'd mind.

[@jacobd1984]

The first part's pretty easy to explain. Voldemort didn't anticipate that because it fell under "things he considers worthless and thus didn't learn about, and doesn't account for." It's probably not a totally unprecedented event, or Dumbledore wouldn't have had anywhere to pull that theory from in the first place. In fairness though, JK Rowling later decided the more exact details of the sacrifice were important, I suspect because she realized this sort of thing would probably have happened more than she'd originally realized.

I thought the "super easy, barely an inconvenience" would be for the 3 basic challenges between the dog and the mirror.

[@countluke2334]

Yes, but no. A lot of stuff you hear once in middle school you forget by the time you're adult. That goes for the countermeasure to the Devil's Snare (the plant). The key riddle, the chess riddle and the logical riddle (Snape's riddle which is omitted in the movie) required special skills one of the kids had (Harry: Quiddich champ; Ron: school's best chess player; Hermione: logical mind), but it is less likely for a single wizard to have them.

But he also said he has trouble enjoying movies now that he rips them apart for a living. He's probably doubled the pitch meeting playlist since then. I hope he takes a break soon.

We've seen that spells can be cast without saying the incantation (i.e. "accio", "stupefy", or "wingardium leviosa") just with a wave of the wand, so does the carnage he causes in Olivander's shop count, since he used a wand but no incantations, or is formal training required to qualify any use of magic as a "spell"?

Dumbledore makes other mistakes throughout the books, but I never saw it as him being terrible, only him being human and not all-knowing. Despite how wise he appears, he is not omniscient, but in the end, his plan worked (though it required a lot of suffering by Harry, yes.) McGonagal is never cruel, she does not always listen yes, but I always saw it as her trying to not encourage Harry and his friends to actively look for trouble. If she was enthusiastic about their adventures, it would defeat her goal, keep them safe. No question about Snape, though we do learn why (which is no excuse).
