The biggest difference between Luna and Snape is that Luna has healthy models of love (her parents) and that allows her to develop healthy relationships.

[@lothara.schmal5092]

Yeah, they’re both bullied in school, but Luna has love and comfort at home, whilst Snape grew up in an abusive household, pretty much the only good thing in his life was Lily ig

No, the biggest difference is that Luna isn't a piece of sheet.

[@Larka661]

Well, children learn what they live. He was obviously neglected by his parents and abused. We can easily guess that Snape was only ever "happy" when he was hanging out with Lily, and later at hogwarts. Pretty much like Voldemort. But the big difference is Snape had feelings for Lily.

[@BrettsThoughts]

Thank you for the shoutouts and also THANK YOU for how you expand on these theories. You take them in even more interesting directions and build on them. The fact he graduated a year before the potion was made BLEW MY MIND. Always love hearing your takes, and delighted to have helped with this one!

[@YARIN108]

I just got a theory in my head... and it seems kinda obvious. Of course, Snape wasn't happy about Harry seeing the memory, but what if he refused to teach him occlumancy, to conceal the secrets he knew in case it would happen again? It seems reasonable. What if Harry saw a memory of Snape spitting out the prophecy and begging for Lily's life? Can you imagine?!! Sirius might not have died! But I wonder what else would happen...

[@Septimus_ii]

That would make an interesting video. What if Harry had seen all of Snape's memories?

[@YARIN108]

Well, at the time of OotP, Snape wouldn't have the knowledge of Harry being raised as a pig for slaughter. However, what else could he have seen?

[@CottonCandySharks]

Then Voldemort could look into Harry's mind and see that Snape isn't loyal

[@YARIN108]

@@CottonCandySharks That too, probably! Seem like the most serious reason to stop teaching him!

[@BrandonFlint-ro2ns]

I always felt like there was more to it than that. He was angry at Harry for snooping (rightfully so IMO that was his business not Harry's) but refusing to teach him when he knew it was important seemed a bit far. Also the fact that Dumbledore never seemed to step in and talk to Snape about why he was refusing.

[@thomasjohnson8101]

I think Snape was most worried teaching occlumency to Harry because when Harry penetrated his mind he was most concerned with Harry finding out dumbledore's secret that didn't come out till deathly hallows 2. If Harry had found out at that stage, and Voldemort would have read Harry's mind l, it would have ruined all their plans and exposed Snape to Voldemort of his true allegiance

[@eeurr1306]

I do not want to relive all the psychological torture that I have been through until now.

[@dionight]

I feel like there is strong evidence that Voldemort himself made the potion. He caught Slughorn’s eye even despite being an orphan with no family name, and while he was gifted at a lot magic Slughorn would have seen his potion skills the most. Additionally, Voldemort was fine talking about dark magic with the potions professor, almost like he had done something adjacent to dark magic with him. Other crux protectors like Beatrix were trusted, but had no extra special treatment. Additionally, the cave is implied to be the hidden location no one even his most trusted followers know. Dumbledore door talks about how he discovered it, and Snape who tells him everything said nothing about it nor that this potion existed. And Snape would have been prompted, Dumbledore and Snape were plotting particularly about crux’s that year. He could have not told Harry about Snape’s info, but he does seem particularly uncertain about what they will find in the cave. Editted after rereading Kreacher’s story: Black had to replace the potion like he did the locket, because Black got the locket out by drinking it. And it is only said to refill if it isn’t comsumed. So either Regulus brewed a replacement or it refills by a different mechanism then it does when not consumed. However, Kreacher also poses a second hole since he says he was used to test the potion, which is how he tells Voldemort where the cave is. Meaning first of all it probably was brewed in the cave, because otherwise why bring Kreacher to the hiding spot rather than a Snape’s cauldron. Secondly, Voldemort was testing it, with the horcrux there himself. Whoever was there needed to know about the locket, the cave location, and sit there while Kreacher was tested to find the right potency. That is even before you consider the enchanted boat rules implying only one adult wizard was suppose to be able to enter at a time. I just doesn’t make sense to have snape in your secret cave and then him having no idea what the potion was for. I mean clearly Kreacher pokes holes in Voldemort to some extent, Like how does the potion refill even when consumed. But pokes more holes in Snape making it. Another edit: Interestingly the pensieve and drink of despair have a lot of descriptive similarities. One liquid is green and one is silver. They are both in stone basins, though the pensive is described pretty ornately. They both cause the user to revisit memories, and though the drink of despair requires drinking even approaching it Harry feels the negative emotions. It is almost liked a poisoned pensieve. Needing to test the potion in the cave almost implies the potion is native to the cave, perhaps not brewed at all, same way the pensieve was discovered with the hogwarts built around it and not made by the founders or any headmaster.

[@PhilBagels]

Yeah, it's possible Snape made the potion, but the evidence presented is pretty thin. This seems to be the case with a lot of their theories. There's not a lot of logic to how much Voldy trusts each of the death eaters, and what he allows them to know and do. Regulus somehow found out about the horcrux in the cave (though he may not have known that there were any other horcruxes), and he brought Kreacher to drink the potion. That's how he got it. It's even possible Regulus made the potion. He was also on Slughorn's shelf, so he may also have been especially good at potions. But yeah, Snape surely would have warned Dumbledore about the potion if he had made it. And usually, Snape would come up with a way to counteract any magic that he invented.

[@cubsfanman-nx6pg]

I think voledemort definently did it. Im relieved because at least this theory has some evidence behind it compared to all of their videos from the last two months which have been honestly garbage but yeah its definitely more probable voldemort made it and im disappointed they didn't address that

[@dothedo3667]

What do you mean there has to be a way around the potion?? Regulus drank it just like Dumbledore and then died trying to get water from the lake.

[@xlerb2286]

Another point in favor of Snape not making the potion was with all the behavior it had, reliving worst memories, an unquenchable thirst, refilling if not consumed (though that could have been the basin). If Snape had made it, even with no idea how it was going to be used, he'd know it was something unique and would have told Dumbledore about it.

[@edopronk1303]

Kreacher having to test it in the cave is indeed a strong point that the potion was created there, or at least the last ingredient was added there so it worked as intended. And Snape not telling Dumbledore that he made this super rare potion.

[@austindmilligan]

Dude more Snape videos is ALWAYS awesome! Honestly I think Voldy likes him so much is because snape is powerful, witty, smart and most of all, loyal! At least that’s what he obviously wants Voldy to think… feels like he can push all his other death eaters around but not Snape!

[@Zeke_O3773]

Would Voldy ask a rookie Death Eater to create something THAT important when he trusts no one? And wouldn’t Snape tell Dumbledore that he made such a powerful potion for Voldy? Seems like a big deal to make a unique potion for Tom and not think that’s important. Also, Muffliato, Levicorpus and Liberocorpus are hand-written in the potions book but the only one that’s actually accredited to him is Sectumsempra. Meaning he could’ve learned of those spells and written them down to practice. It’s certainly a lot of fun thinking about the events of the first wizarding war, though.

[@amongtheruins]

Nice video, nice moustache also. Two things i'd like to point out, 1. i guess malfoy was always a zealot about blood, trying to seem and feel more important (lets not delve into the whole making of the pureblood families and when it happened, they are all most probably not 100%, anyway) and so he came to have some status, money and influence (through inheritance). Other than that the man never shows any skill, not for magic, not for intelligence. He is cruel when he can be sure of his position but... completely incompetent for the most part and Riddle must have known it from the start. I just bugs me a little. 2. Snape creating such a potion. Definately, and you made great points. Not knowing how V would use it? Sure. But it was certainly going (and created) to cause pain and torture. So what, he forgot to inform Dumbledore of such a weapon? It would be used eventually, so "Yo Albus (as he usually talks in the books), I made that potion and gave it to V, (or taught him), beware!" should happen at some point...

[@SmithKO]

You need to do something about that humming/buzzing sound in the audio-background, it's been there in the last few videos and it's really distracting from otherwise good videos.

[@takumi2023]

Even if we take this to be true, voldemort doesn't need to make him the second in command based on this contribution. If we assume nobody knows about horcruxs, voldemort would just ask (demand) snape or anyone to make him a potion with specific attributes. This is likely any typical assignment they would get from voldemort. The prestige could come from how well it works, not the creation of the said potion. At least, that's what i think.

[@milliepearce8941]

I'm aware it was a throw away comment, but I would love a name of the wind podcast!

[@Boom_Boom-1976]

I don't think Voldemort would need anyone's assistance in creating a potion e.g. his resurrection potion he creates only needing Wormtail because he couldn't do it himself physically.

[@yuvrajbahl7909]

16:40 missed opportunity to say voldemort needs better help

[@boyankovachev7982]

Isn't he too young for that? Like, wasn't it already there when Regulus went there? Also, wouldn't it have been there since the beginning? ❤

[@harshsrivastava9570]

he was really gifted though, having invented the sectumsempra spell during his school years

[@MulanBelle]

Voldemort only recently hid the locket in the cave at the time. Otherwise he wouldn't have needed to borrow Kreacher in order to test the defenses, as the defenses would have been tested long before.

[@specteractual1]

Did you watch the whole video before Commenting? He explains the timeline in the video

[@SgtSupaman]

Since Snape is the same year as Sirius, and Regulus is Sirius' younger brother, Snape definitely had time to be the one to make the potion before Regulus betrayed Voldemort. We know that Snape was so skilled with potions during his schooling that he was outdoing the textbook to the point of basically rewriting it.

I have a theory I hope you read: So Slytherin's locket showed Ron his greatest fear and potential despair which was Harry and Hermione together, right. But maybe that was just him attempting to create such such a thing. So to get to the point mabye Slytherin passed down knowledge of how to make and use the potion either through the locket or told from generation to generation. Hope you see this!❤

[@amadhatter3280]

To add onto the Horcrux Protector = high ranking Death Eater part of this theory Snape (and all the Hogwarts Staff) are unknowingly protecting Ravenclaw's Diadem at Hogwarts from outside invaders & has made it his mission to protect Harry (another Horcrux). Also side note Snape has a lot of interactions with Horcrux's during the series: 1) Stops a Horcrux's from killing Dumbledore, 2) Takes the Sword of Gryffindor (a Horcrux killer) from Bellatrix's vault home to another Horcrux. 3) Unknowingly is protecting Ravenclaw's Diadem at Hogwarts. 4) Is killed by Nagini another Horcrux. 5) His only purpose in life is to protect Harry a accidently created Horcrux. 6) The Cursed Necklace which this channel has theorized is a potential Horcrux. 7) Potentially created the Drink of Despair which is protecting a Horcrux. So Snape unknowingly (or maybe knowingly because I wouldn't put it past Snape to have come across the term Horcrux at some point) interacts with Horcrux's a lot.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

HEY BROTHER!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Morgyborgyblob]

I want to know who refilled the basin after Regulus takes the locket. It doesn't refill after Dumbledore drinks it. A couple of comments on this theory: What was protecting the Horcrux between its creation in the 1940s, and the late 1970s? Was it just in the cave with Inferi, or somewhere else? Dumbledore states that the potion was to incapacitate the drinker, not kill them, so Voldemort would be able to question them. Without the potion, there would be no need to approach the water, and so the Inferi would be avoided. Even if Snape didn't know what the potion was to be used for...he still knew he had created such a potion, and could warn Dumbledore that he might encounter such a terrible potion at some point.

There's a common "What If?" trope used in a lot of stories, that has some interesting potential changes in Harry Potter in particular. "What if the main character was the opposite gender?" Usually that would change very little in a story, but it does a whole lot to affect how Snape interacts with Harry (Harriet?), which impacts a lot of the plot. Might that be something for the team to explore further? "What if Harry looked like Lily?" I'd love to see it.

We see his memorys and all his connections and his rise from a prince of future evil to the king since he is considered the worst dark lord ever.

Well, that line about his soul could refer to him using other spells than straight up avada cadavra to kill people.

Should've given us a 'these socks are amazing' for old times' sake

[@toribellmar7623]

happy 12 years! 🎉 just me casually asking (begging at this point) to make a ‘what if regulus came to albus with knowledge about horcruxes’

[@alexworld1992]

Stache is lookin' great, brother man

On the subject of services rendered by death eaters - something occurred to me that’s gonna drive me nuts. Why did Voldemort ask Regulus for his house elf? We know of at least one other inner-circle Death Eater who had one - Lucius Malfoy. And a lot of them are from old, wealthy families. What made Regulus so special to Voldemort?

Happy Carlinversary!!!

I always think Snape's darkest secret was him not telling Voldy the entire prophecy, I always thought he could have silently heard the whole thing, but not repeat the entire thing to Voldemort, which was half the reason he made the mistake of choosing Harry. Another part was him asking Voldemort to spare Lily, which made him giving a choice to Lily where she willingly chose death, which led to the curse backfiring. I always believed Snape heard the whole thing.

@SuperCarlinBrothers Do you have a grounding problem or something in your studio? Because there's humming noise in the background of your videos, that goes away when you're showing movie clips.

Congratulations on the 12 year anniversary!!! Love the channel and love the content!!! 12 more years!!!!!!

[@Emperor_Oshron]

i _did_ wonder recently how Snape would react if a given random student (like not any named character, make it your self-insert if you like) knocked on his office door and simply asked for advice on how to do better in Potions

[@Lord_Oberon3113]

J the mustache is glorious brother.

[@pardonmyyikes]

12 years is crazy!!

[@davidjuson5608]

Congratulations on reaching the teenage years! Tripped across you about four years back and almost always enjoy your content and presentation. Thought today's evidence was a tad circumstantial though. Incidentally: really enjoying Through the Griffin Door. Keep up the great work.

Amazing theory! What I'd like to know is how do people create spells or potions? how do you create a spell to do something you want to? It's interesting. If you know or want to theorize about it, I'm all here for your videos! ❤️ All the love from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@bookworm3005]

I love Alan Rickman, but I hate book Snape! (I still don't get why Harry named a kid after him.) But it does make me sad that Snape's potion book and all it's insights are destroyed

[@anamomirovic6207]

Please do a nema of the wind podcast, That would be AMAZING

[@Thebongdigity]
