Oh. I never noticed before, but Snape flinches when Harry looks him directly in the eye while he's attempting to teach him how to 'discipline his mind'. He was seeing Lily.

His words say 'You are just like your father', but his actions say that he loves Lily and can't help but protect the boy that would have been his, had they not lost each other. Harry really doesn't have many adults he can trust. While Snape may not always be kind, he has always protected Harry, as one would imagine that Lily would have if she had lived. There is no one else who could have played the part. Alan Rickman brings the character to life and gives his whole heart into the role.

Can't be equated. Youth James was definitely way worse than Youth Severus. Adult Severus is worse than Adult James because James died lmao. By that point James is a worse guardian than Severus. James may have saved Severus from death - but he and Sirius still enjoyed humiliating Severus very much. Severus' was in a position of death or living hell. If Severus died young, he may not have been a Death Eater and pointed Cringemort to Lily. Then again he'd shortly be joined by The Marauders - Remus Lupin will be sent to Azkaban for being a werewolf who killed a student; the three would be sent there for being Illegal Animagi. Potter may have an out due to his parents and their money, but the other two wouldn't be so lucky... Dumbledore may also get sacked for enrolling, hiding and harboring a werewolf who then jilled someone and for allowing Illegal Animagi and Death Eater sympathizers to roam freely in Hogwarts.

[@williaml.willowfield2220]

it is totally respectful that Snape has totally responsibility to being a teacher and an ally of Dumbledore and Harry. He just REALLY unhappy with the time bullied by James and reflected it to Harry, despite of this he still keep his duty over his personal grudge.

[@Darksaviour]

2:55 My favourite one. Goes from pissed to full protective teacher mode in an instant

[@alexavgeris5620]

You know I always equated Snape’s fury when he confronts Sirius and Lupin in the shack to him not getting over being bullied… but now knowing everything about him and looking back, it wasn’t anger… he was filled with the biggest bloodlust because as far as he knew, the man who killed Lily and caused him to suffer was standing before him. “Revenge is sweet”

[@LuigisLuigi21]

Snape was the Itachi of Harry Potter

[@Exia0029]

​He is@elvishamilton9308

[@lastexile8818]

He is like a father. A father who love his child but must act like a villain so his child will be ready to face his demise. His arcenemy. His hardtime. To be ready. What unconditional love. His love is truly "ALWAYS"

[@Coltron-yg9ez]

I like how he protects the children by having them behind unlike unbridged.

[@CzechsTeaNine]

That disgusting bch. As I have Harry Potter book. she was even more sinister than in the movie. 🤬

[@UnnamedHero0922]

1:40 When you realize Snape wasn't talking about Lupin and Black's bullying days but was talking about the fact that Lily's location was betrayed and Snape was still suspecting Black.

[@Ithilienranger345]

Yup

[@NandiniSharma-by5pk]

Didn't he told voldemort about James in order to kill him .pls explain

[@Can_O_Crayola]

@@NandiniSharma-by5pk Snape was the one who reported on the prophecy to Voldemort, and regretted it severely when he realized that it meant he was going to murder Lily. He asked Voldemort to spare her, which he agreed to, but Snape knew he was not a man of his word...hence why he asked Dumbledore to help.

[@lollyianne6471]

He instinctly protect them when Remus attack

[@barrickfischer]

Yeah, even if he's just following Dumbledor's plan, he cares for Harry because he's at least the remaining reminder of Lily's existence (although he hates James).

[@whatdoes-leeknow]

Honestly, even before Harry knew the truth, how did he not love Snape? If Snape hadn't saved him, he'd be dead in movie one

[@NicolaPaventi]

Very true! He could have at least said thank you

[@relaxwhc]

Harry named his son Severus, that's a deep memory

[@whatdoes-leeknow]

@@relaxwhc yeah, after he found out abt the truth. but before he never liked snape

[@summer93i]

@@whatdoes-leeknow suppose bc snape used to be horrible and spiteful towards him. And he spoke badly of Harrys dead dad

[@whatdoes-leeknow]

@@summer93i yeah, but can u blame him? James bullied Snape for no reason, and Snape did nothing apart from be friends with Lily

[@romanhorizon]

What makes this even sadder, Snape was the closest thing to a father figure to Harry. He wasn’t allowed to get to close to him, be honest with him. He could only watch from a distance. But in the end, Snape did love Harry, not just because he’s the child of the woman he loved, but because of Harry’s nature.

[@Joey-wb8pf]

Absolutely love Snape. Perfect casting.

[@bizznick444joe7]

Snape is a good example of a well written character. I always thought Johanne wrote Lily based on herself and Snape might have been a real boy she knew before.

[@wintercaleb9456]

That last scene with snape hugging lily's dead body and mourning had me in tears.

[@owenjinxy]

Snape always protected Harry as he was always in love with lily. Alan Rickman was such a fine actor. 😢

[@LiorIPSC]

J.K. did a masterly job about hiding Snape's intentions until the very end

[@kinopiko01]

One thing I noticed about Snape is that in his conversations with Dumbledore, Snape was angry with Dumbledore that Dumbledore broke his promise to Snape. Snape really wanted to break free of his dark persona, but can't because it is his agreement to Dumbledore

[@ravenravenclaw9679]

Wow, Snape really cared and protected harry from danger without showing it as much as possible.

[@elvarchris481]

I never realized until now that Snape was protecting Harry the entire time. He's always been one of my top favorite characters, but watching these clips makes me like the character even more. Tough love is what I say!

[@shashankdwivedi5694]

Snape in the movies and snape inthe books are like completely different people Alan rickman is GOAT as snape

[@harshdeepsingh207]

1:00 no matter what you say but that Expeliyamas was personal😂😂😂😂😂😂

Snape is literally the Best spy you could ever have he loved Harry's mother so much he protected him.

[@theyetti90]

9:23 never realized he deceptively killed those 2. Wow.

[@jasonhahn8797]

And notice when he lands on the ground a couple times before he leaves, Snape is actually grabbing the wands off of the Death Eaters in case they wake up and try to attack the students.

[@theyetti90]

@@jasonhahn8797 you got the eye man, I couldn't see him pick them up, but I did see him pause at each body.

[@erickchristensen746]

Snape: “No one can know…” Dumbledore: “That I never reveal the best of you Severus?” Always loved that line. He intended to die a villain for the greater good. Funny thing is Harry didn’t allow that after learning the truth or the good man he was.

[@memberberry033]

9:23 dude I never noticed that it was so slick I always thought that McGonagall hit them ! Cheers 🥂

Right?! I just commented this. Thought I couldn't love Snape anymore, but this video did it. That last scene always makes me cry too.

[@gustavoragoni1254]

if u pay atention when snape scapes (in black shadow shape), u can see him going to the corpes of both death eaters before scapes. people says he has catching their wands, in case they wake up

[@Mymychan464]

Snape : "IMA KILL U POTTAH" *1 second later* Snape : " NOT MY STUDENT"

[@infernas]

I remember reading the books almost 20 years ago (before book 7 came out), and in every book there would be someone who said to Harry, "You have your mother's eyes." I always knew it would become very significant to the plot before the end, except that I was guessing that it would be magical in nature (like superpowers or something lol). I never expected that its significance was about the strongest force of all: LOVE, specifically Snape's undying love for Lily. 💔😭

[@starmaster191]

yeah, i remember this too. in newrly every book someone would mention that he has lily's eyes

[@famouswriters8475]

🥺how this best man dies?snape ALWAYS in our heart...❤️lovely

[@naty5851]

I have been always been impressed by Alan's acting skills, he is just amazing, specially in this scene

[@nasidctg]

Snape stopped voldy from reading his mind and hid his true intentions from one of most talented and evil wizards of all time. He was nearly on the level of Grindlewald, Dumbledore and Tom(human form) himself.

[@Alaric11]

Snape is the only wizard in history to fly unaided besides Moldywarts.

[@wer13245]

Snape was stronger than grindy

[@artcory6224]

8:40 the moment I think not many people noticed, but at my mind it is so important,that we can't ignore it. When Harry steps out and accuses Snape in killing Dumbledore , Orden of Phoenix comes, and Harry assumes it was lack of defence by Snape, but at my mind, he was the exact reason why they werr able to get in, defining the fate of Hogwarts

[@KW-de9sc]

You know the dueling club actually has another moment if you think about it, when Ron gets called up Snape immediately shoots down the idea, saying that because of his broken wand he could seriously injure Harry with an out of control spell. Arguably throwing Malfoy in kept him safe too since he had direct authority over him and Slytherin as a whole.

[@daisy_maeHQ]

Snape was so misunderstood. He loved Harry and Lily, but was too proud to admit it… Then it was too late…💔😭

[@aishahamma334]

I think it was a love hate relationship when he reminded him of his father he hated him when he reminded him of his mother he cared about him

[@uls-ks9vl]

More than that, he couldn’t admit it, to save everyone around time he had to pretend to be a villain, and he rlly didn’t deserve it.

[@dangerdan2592]

He definitely did not love Harry, he just loved his mom.

[@agreaswolf4199]

I think not because of his ego but because of "no one can know"

[@custodiojamal5150]

This made me cringed, Snape only protect Harry for one reason and ONE reason only, and that is Lily Evans, He loved her but his son since he is also a symbolic that Lily abandoned him for a person who bullies him

[@twistedrules1]

As a kid growing up with the series, I never liked Snape until Prisoner of Azkaban when he protected them. Only then did I notice what he was doing, to me it wasn't until Deadly Hallows did I realize the real true intention. Heck he's now one of my favorites from the series.

[@traw3834]

I loved Snape the whole time. I was mad when I thought he died evil. I always knew it was tough love.

[@Captainkebbles1392]

Allan knowing the full story, makes his INCREDIBLE acting chops even better. You can FEEL the rage he has at anyone he thinks lead to her death And also, he is so fed up with Harry, but i personally feel when he looks into his eyes...he sees her..and while everything else reminds him if James....the eyes show the soul.. and Snape almost resents Harry for it. He loves her so much he does anything for Harry I love the "GIVE ME A REASON " even tho he has the wrong man, he would GLADDLY torture and watch the torture of the man who betrayed her. I almost wish Harry went to Snape for help with things. I think we would have seen a different side. Of him The look he has when Harry calls out Snape. It is SO PAINED. I think he did for a moment lose himself. And then realized what was happning. "After everything I did for you.... for her .. " In this FINAL seconds..he let the hate for James go...and saw her. And her child. Snape wasn't a good man....but he chose to not be a bad one. And when it came to it. He could have said the truth...to spare his life But to quote another "i would have died i would have died rather than betray her"

[@joey7062]

“You’re just like your father” hits different coming from snape

[@karmaQT]

Last scene never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

[@Ultimate_Utopian]

The most humble wizard, given the most exhausting task.

[@LowPoppy34873]

Shape knew how to motivate Harry in every way he could. The attacks against James, snape knew that attacking his dad would light the fire under his ass. As shitty as it was, it needed to be done.

[@Murgoh]

Yes, he was in a hurry, there was no time for niceties so he had to give tough love. In a way he was like the drill sergeant in war movies whom the recruits hate but who knows they are going to a war and does everything in his power to keep them from getting themselves killed, even if it means they'll hate him for it.

[@SunBunz]

I don’t think you can get any cooler or more badass than Snape.

[@risi3057]

Snape, the only man who suffered enough to care enough, and support Harry is silent, but always there, always causing Harry to keep him out of trouble, can't do more problems if you're at detencion, and in the end, seeing the great sacrifice harry had to do, he simply had enough. Sad he never saw what he helped raise. Protecting from the other side, even beyond death.

[@isqz2592]

Snape always gonna be the best defence against the dark arts teacher.

[@mikek0135]

Thank you Alan Rickman for all the entertainment I got from you. All the different parts you played in all the different movies you were in, you lifted the quality of all of them, you helped to make them top notch movies!

[@davidjamne8003]

Bro i literally had this exact thought watching this video🤣

[@swstuboy]

James Potter and Draco Malfoy were similar And Severus Snape and Harry Potter were similar Because James Potter bullied Severus Snape in Hogwarts when they were students at Hogwarts school 🏫🎒 Just like draco Malfoy bullied Harry Potter in Hogwarts aswell obviously as we all see 🙉🙉 Because James and Sirius and Remus aka the marauders and the rest of James gang all bullied Severus Snape And Draco Malfoy and his gang Crabbe and Goyle aka the syltherins all bullied Harry Potter Basically Snape is the Itachi of Harry Potter because of the things they went through And then James met his wife lily Evans and changed him into a better person and then Harry Potter was born their son. The same with a draco he met his wife Astoria Greengrass and changed into a better person and then Scorpius Malfoy was born their son.
