What If Snape Made A HORCRUX | Harry Potter Film Theory

[@SuperCarlinBrothers]

What do you think...Does Snape Survive?

[@JustACactus616]

I haven’t finished the video yet but no because he’s a coward

[@Dudeman1226]

I think that Snape is the person to do it. I mean, dude man loved the dark arts more than anything. He had to know the bare minimum of a Horcrux was.

[@iimax_9135]

Kahoot quiz?

[@merlijnbal221]

he died its a mmore fitting end for him i think

[@aceccam]

He lives the venom, but the pain of repairing his soul destroys him. btw, I don't think nagini even has venom, she's a python, which you can see from both her pattern, but also the arrangement of her teeth.

[@zendoargos4988]

Fawkes swoops in out of nowhere and sheds tears on Snape's wounds from Nagini, healing them. He had proven his loyalty to Dumbledore, restored his own soul, and given Harry everything he needed to defeat the Dark Lord so Fawkes saves Snape from death.

[@cchavezjr7]

I could really see Fawkes doing that. Fawkes would have heard all of the conversations between Snape and Dumbledore so knows his true loyalty and his devotion to keeping Harry safe as well.

[@n0dr0gs49]

I love the idea of a reformed Snape with Fawkes on his shoulder.

[@Datenauflauf]

This somehow reminds me of Dumbledore who didn't think he'd be a good leader because he'd been drunken with power before. Maybe a Snape, seeing how wrong he was mistaking Harry for James and bullying him, finally feeling remorse about that, would actually be a great teacher/headmaster. (Edit: forgot a verb)

[@naturallygeekster8769]

Yes to all of this!

[@marshawargo7238]

AND with each of them finally knowing the truth about the other, he could have sorta taken up the vacant godfather role, with a bit more trust & admiration yet to be built. I imagine a bonding vacation in a remote cabin on a Loch, with some boating, fishing & heart to heart talks about DADA & other important stuff❤!!!

[@derrickwaller9519]

This would have been really cool, I feel like he is also the only known character to make a horcrux that could possibly feel the remorse to repair his soul

[@MrEvanNoyes]

I can think of a few more. Regulus, Grindelwald, maybe even Draco if events were slowed down a bit.

[@Anna-B]

⁠@@MrEvanNoyesI don’t think regulus or Draco would have known how, I don’t think Draco would have been able to in the first place, and I doubt Grindelwald regretted his life that much. A bit, maybe.

[@ludairewah5937]

You've commented on "Would Snape feel different if Harry was a girl" a bunch of times, and I think it could be an interesting What If. Does it change anything about how the Dursleys treat Harry? How does the story change if Snape does like Harry? Would Harry become better faster friends with Hermione if they shared a dorm, and how does this affect Sorcerer's Stone? It's tricky to know how much/little it would change, but it could be a fun What If to do.

[@skyhighdw4328]

When your soul is split you've have to feel genuine remorse to heal your soul voldemort ended up in limbo for all eternity because his soul was split into 8 pieces and he didn't have remorse for his actions if he did feel genuine remorse it would be very painful and deadly if his soul was healed he wouldn't be trapped in limbo for all eternity and would be able to pass over to the afterlife and not be trapped in limbo for all eternity

[@keeperofthevoidful]

Snape would never make a Horcrux. He would want to see Lily again. That is why I think he wanted the DADA job in hopes that the curse would unlive him. 😢

[@toriandtilly]

Never heard that about DADA, doesn't really make sense considering he is playing both sides of a literal war so he doesn't need a curse gone wrong in class. His life is already in enough danger. Either way, making a horcrux doesn't mean he won't die. It just means he won't die that time and would still be around to help end the war

[@FifthConcerto]

Ooo, that's dark. I do agree with the first part though: this is very out of character for Snape.

[@juliaspoonie3627]

@@toriandtillyno they mean the curse against the position as a teacher of DADA. Remember that Voldemort cursed the position so nobody could hold the job for longer than a year. The theory above is that Snape only wanted to have said position because he hoped it would kill him

Moody's defense at Grimmauld Place was some dust Dumbledore rushing at people entering the apartment right? Which was banished by Harry saying "We didn't kill Dumbledore". I always thought that because Snape was ordered by Dumbledore to kill him, that dust Dumbledore spectre won't harm him anyway. He can just say "Dumbledore ordered me to kill him". And the dust Dumbledore will just get banished too. Cos when Moody put up that defense, he assumed Snape killed Dumbledore maliciously.

[@ilianag5680]

Yes. If I'm not mistaken we see it in his memories too. When he goes to find the letter.

[@Kitagawa_Senpai]

I'm going to be honest. Snape is probably one of the SMARTEST Potion Masters of ever. I would only think that he dies of the poison IF A. He doesn't have a vial of Antivenom, especially one made from Nagini. B. He has a vial but it's broken during the snake biting him. C. He has it and doesn't take it in time

[@natasha6113]

Dumbledore's comment about Harry being the only living soul left in the house for Voldemort to attach to is interesting if you subscribe to the theory that Crookshanks was the Potters' old cat... Imagining Voldemorts soul attaching itself to Crookshanks to make an even more grumpy cat is pleasing to me.

[@GraciiGram]

0:05 AND THE MOUSTACHE CONTINUES!!!!

[@Necromancer4267]

It could also be theorized that Snape's soul *was* damaged in canon as well, but that the remorse he would obviously feel for the act would work to repair it, just as it could for a Horcrux, the difference lying in the fact that while the soul is damaged from the act, it is not *split* as it is after the Horcrux is actually created. So it may not be life-threatening or even difficult to repair the damage soul in that instance.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

I always presumed that the defences never worked on Snape because they were designed around what was thought to be a malicious m urder. Whereas it wasn't that way, therefore the defences didn't work for example the dust ghost that probably would frighten a snape who had murdered, Dumbledore. However, because he hadn't, his reaction would have been an initial shock followed by understanding what it was.

[@peng1luver259]

15:43 no the poison doesn't kill him as I think the horcrux would have cured him before he felt the remorse, true he would be exhausted from the effort it took on his body and he might sleep for a day or two, but he'll wake up feeling better than ever and his outlook on life forever changed.

[@nathans9764]

I don't know if we even need to reach for "killing Dumbledore splits Snape's soul." The act of taking the life of your friend, even out of mercy, is enough to cause anyone enough pain to split their soul.

[@paulnewkirk7300]

The “and my soul dumbledore”. Great impression

[@TnT_F0X]

4:45 What would a potion master do? Well I'd say mix up a batch of Liquid Luck so each of Nagini's strikes hits something in Snape's pocket and he never gets bitten, then just gets up and walks over to greet Harry in a cheery liquid luck mood... But that's a theory for another day.

[@watertowercat]

What I have always wondered about Horcrux resurrection is how does it work in terms of the physical? Do you *have* to have second body rite worked out? Because Voldemort made his own, supposedly, but what about others who used Horcruxes?

[@satsujin-shathewitchkingof6185]

Yeah,perhaps there was a ritual and it was lost to time?

[@watertowercat]

Presumably, otherwise ... not a lot of point, unless you were really just so afraid of death that existing as sentient mist was preferable.

[@anvos658]

One would assume it depends on the state of your body in death, Vodlermort the first two times had an issue with the sacrificial love protection causing his and Quirell's bodies to be irreparably damaged.

[@watertowercat]

True, but the whole point is that a Horcrux anchors a soul even when the container (body) suffers irreparable damage, hence its death. The soul in the dead body is already unaffected, as Hermione says. If said damage is repairable ... you wouldn't have snuffed it at all. But the Horcrux cannot undo whatever happened to the original body that caused it to die in the first place. So you have to have a backup corporeal coil of some kind.

[@lisahenry20]

I think I still don't really understand how horcruxes work. I always thought that when someone with a horcrux dies, the soul from the horcrux leaves the object and gets back into the body, replacing the part that was there and that it's similar to lives in a video game. If the body is too badly damaged, the soul waits until it's repaired or another body is found/made before returning and the person comes back to life. But unless Voldemort did have another horcrux when he went to kill harry, when the spell rebound, it didn't kill him, and neither did the events of the first book. Now I'm starting to think that the horcruxes don't get 'used up' and it's just that as long as they are around, the part of the soul that was in the body never leaves/is never destroyed and can linger as long as it needs until the body is repaired or recovered enough that the soul can use it again.

[@Josh_Wen]

This is why Snape is one of my favourite characters. He went from someone who felt obligated because of his unrequited love, and later guilt, to someone who was in it for the good. Sure, he made mistakes, and I’m not defending those, but the mistakes make him such an interesting character, rather than 1, 2, or even some 3 dimensional characters. I don’t think he would do it for his own gain, but if Dumbledore told him to, or if he thought it would save Harry and his students, I think he would make a horcrux. Even his best friend kind of set him up to die with the elder wand, and asked/manipulated him into killing him.

[@Cheesehead_Caleb]

That is a beautiful mustache, Jay.

[@jeeplover2004]

I bet Snape thinking about lily could still make the doe

[@satsujin-shathewitchkingof6185]

Yeah. A patronus is just a happy memory given shape.

[@anvos658]

Yeah as if anything the bit of his soul Snape would tear off would be the part that chose to be a Death Eater. There is no way he'd give up the pieces of him that held memories of Lilly, unless he was going full dark wizard.

[@corellonable]

i thought the same too - Snape would probably be the "exception that confirms the rule" in this case. Even if he ripped his soul his heartbroken love would still be bittersweet.

[@NansJns]

I don't see how healing his soul would remove the venom, so he'd still die. But also, I'm pretty sure you have to feel remorse for the actions that created the horcrux, not just remorse in general. Also also, one small problem with this way of Harry finding out the truth is that it's all tell, no show. Going through Snape's memories and learning about all of his secrets that way was more informative and fleshed out (and surprising). I mean, him just saying he loved Lily after we saw him call her a mudblood in that one memory would feel out of nowhere and untrue. This also doesn't have all of the information of how Dumbledore and Snape planned things together, or that Petunia knew Snape, too.

[@marilenaserafim1944]

I loved how the camera view changed at the end and you guys had that conversation with each other! Perfect 👍

[@GoodLawgic]

I don't think you can make a horcrux if the killing is consensual. It is not a sufficiently "pure act of evil" that is required to rip the soul.

I’m still not convinced that snape’s soul will split in half from killing dumbledore even if he had some malicious intent because at the end of the day the main reason he killed him was to save Draco and solidify his position among the death eaters which was a selfless act

[@crtwrght]

Whether Snape would know about Horcruxes or not is quite an interesting question. We know Dumbledore is headmaster by the time Snape arrives and we also know that he removes every book concerning Horcruxes from the library. We assume Riddle learns about them from the library books because that was still under Dippet's tenure but where would Snape have had the opportunity to even discover their existence?

[@cchavezjr7]

Slughorn new about them in his conversation with Riddle. It wasn't something he had to think about or try to remember. He knew right away what it was and what it takes to make one. Snape, in my opinion has gone on to surpass Slughorn in terms of knowledge and overall power so I doubt he would not know what one was. Especially since he has been interested in the DADA position since he started working at Hogwarts.

[@crtwrght]

@@cchavezjr7 That's a fair point, thanks for reminding me of that scene. Definitely agree that Snape's knowledge exceeds Slughorns on DADA matters so it's natural that he would have come across them. I still can't help but wonder whether Snape would have learned about them inside Hogwarts (some teacher willing to gainsay Dumbledore's moratorium on the subject) or outside (bought a suitably dark book from Borgin and Burke's or similar).

[@Knowledge.to_Come]

I think only a psychopath can successfully make a horcrux because any emotion at all can lead to remorse which can destroy the horcrux. Snapes remorse for Lily is extreme. Someone with love in their heart can’t make one.

[@MrTimPL]

In Voldemort case i think remorse wouldn't work because all of his other soul parts were destroyed so he doesnt have what to connect together

[@valathor95]

He may not have ever gotten his whole soul back, but he would have mended a part of it.

So, still stuck in purgatory, but potentially not in extreme pain for all eternity

[@valathor95]

@@MrTimPL you know, the more I thought about it I think I’ll change my answer. I do think remorse would have mended his entire soul. They destroyed the horcruxes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the soul pieces in them were destroyed, no longer bound to the earth, but not necessarily destroyed, something had to have been left for him to have been sent to Limbo at all, otherwise he would just cease to exist once all the horcruxes were destroyed. I believe destroying them sent the pieces to limbo, that’s what happened to the one in Harry. So yes, I think had Voldy been cabable of remorse his entire soul could have been mended. The possibility would not have been presented if it couldn’t work. Am I forgetting anything that contradicts this idea?

[@Expry24maciste]

Voldemort probably killed hundreds or thousands of people, so would have his sould splitted in thousands of pieces, which only 8 left his body. With remorse could have mended a big part of him. I could be wrong, though

⚠️Off topic from video, day nineteen of asking for what ifs⚠️ 1: What if Dudley went to Hogwarts? I think he'd be a Hufflepuff and be pretty good at defense against the dark arts and I think it would be fun to have him be good at divination cause none of the golden trio are good at or even seem to respect it. 2: What if Aang died with the other Air nomads and one of the other main characters eventually became the Avatar? I think the most interesting would be Sokka and Zuko. 3: What if Prim became the Mockingjay? The only way I see this happening is if Katniss gets caught hunting and either gets killed or sent to the Capital and becomes an avox, a year or two before Prims game so she gets some survival skills not as good as Katniss but better than nothing. 4: So this one is kinda out there maybe it would be fun to do as a April fools thing or something I don't know but here we go... What if you guys made a Harry Potter crossover? Only crossovers with stuff that could feasibly exist in the Harry Potter world, the first ones that pop into my mind is Percy Jackson, Buffy the vampire slayer, BBC's Merlin maybe Supernatural the last one I'm less sure but you get the point like I said this last suggestion is very out there and I don't expect it to go anywhere. 5: There's a lot of fanfic out there where Harry is raised by someone who are not the Dursley's I definitely think you guys should do a full what if for that concept I find the most interesting being Harry is raised by Snape. 6: Here's a what if that could potentially keep Yue alive but also have her more involved in the story and I think be a pretty interesting story to follow, what before Zuko got banished the fire lord and Yue's father had arranged marriage planned for the two? The water tribe agrees out of a desperation to not get attacked the fire nation is doing it to have control over the water tribe the idea is that the two are essentially already married but haven't had the ceremony yet but this means when Zuko gets banished Yue gets banished with him she can't even go to her tribe cause the fire nation could use it as an excuse to attack.

[@justarandomveryintelligent8934]

I'm gonna point something out here about how Snape's last acts go down in the books. My source is the book Snape: The Definitive Analysis of hogwart's myserious Potions master by Lorrie Kim. When the golden trio examine Grimmauld place and Harry finds the first half of the note he sees that there are tear stains on it. When we see Snape's memories at the end of his life we see him reading the full letter and weeping. The theory the book posits is that Snape's soul was, if not torn, severely damaged by his killing of Dumbledore. Dumbledore knew that Snape would be able to show the remorse necessary to repair himself and finish the job. So Snape broke into Grimmauld place to retrieve that letter because he needed those words of fondness from Lily to help him feel that remorse and heal himself.

[@slightlymaddog]

I think he would die except for the fact that in this scenario he was expecting to be attacked and so may have been carrying some of the antidote. No that doesn't make him having a horcrux pointless because even though he knows voldemort will try and kill him, he doesn't know how and so will probably take all possible precautions.

[@voltznake9248]

11:03 Cant remember excactly where it happens but im pretty sure Snape was opposed to the idea of legilimency being equivalent to "reading" someones mind. Therefore I doubt he would say he could read potters mind like an open book. Obviously nitpicky but just a small detail

[@aayush115]

Snape did create a horcrux. In the forest harry shouldve ideally called snape as well with the ressurection stone knowing the truth before going to voldemort to die. Snape isnt there because he isnt dead as he created a horcrux when he killed Dumbledore. Dumbledore isnt there in the forest because he is death himself (possesses all 3 hollows at some point) and presents himself when harry dies temporarily. The stone brings back loved ones & snape def is a loved one post harry knows the truth so he shouldve been there 100% but isnt there as he is alive.

[@thoggl3]

10:11 I think the key issues with Snape bringing the sword with him to duel Potter are 1) why would Snape bring the sword when he is much more a skilled magical duelist than physical (unless im missing critical info there) and 2) if Voldemort and/or Bellatrix found out from interrogating the trio that they got the sword after beating Snape in a duel, I think major alarm bells would be ringing as Snape was the one to give the sword to Voldemort...

[@dragonbeast1159]

I just love the theory that Snape has somehow pieced together the fact that Dumbledor had the Elder Wand. Because if that's the case, he can 100% figure out what's going to happen. He should know that Voldemort would want to kill him, but wouldn't use the wand to do so, because he'd think that Snape's its master. So the next most logical thing would be to use Nagini. And Snape, being the potions master he is, would easily be able to avoid dying, after Nagini strikes him...

[@adamrabe3105]

Talk of Nagini makes me wish we could have seen more in Secrets of Dumbledore about what happened to Nagini. Alas, earwax, we may never know.

[@randallanderson4560]

Wow, this would be a really cool scenario to see come about. Plus, if Snape lives, how does that alter what happens moving forward as him being headmaster of Hogwarts? Does he get put on trial by the Ministry for murdering Dumbledore?

Venom kills Snape. Snape shows up with Dumbledore in Kings Cross. They both talk to Harry, and once more before Harry wakes up, Snape asks to take one more look at him, he stares intently for a few moments though it feels like hours to Harry, Snape closes his eyes and sighs a shaky breath, a single tear rolls down his cheek and he whispers “Always”.

[@FenixTheDon]

It probably prolongs Snape's life long enough to see Harry win, then allowing him to speak with Snape one last time before he officially dies. In the end Snape would have to die for Harry to name his son after him.

[@Salruhon]

you forgot to take into account that snape was also a potions master and could very well have concocted a potion beforehand as an extra cautionary measure in case voldemort tried to use nagini to attack him instead of simply killing snape himself. as you said in the video, snape's very intelligent he could've easily have stayed a few steps ahead of voldemort very easily by simply considering all possible ways voldemort would've killed or in this case tried to kill him off. he could have brewed an antidote to naginis poison ahead of time at some point and then reunite his split soul making himself whole again and still avoid death altogether.

How is it that J, who has never had so much as a light stubble, has managed to grow the most glorious moustache of all time??

[@sofienordenstrale5305]

I was thinking he would make the elderwand his horocruks that way it would at least complicate the owning of the wand. You must remember the wand chose the wizard!

[@sofienordenstrale5305]

I wonder if he afterwards would have a talk with mr Olivander at Malfoy mansion about it. And through him revealing this to Harry!

[@snoogans2891]

Where in the world did this theory come from?! Great thought. Can't wait to finish this video

[@Jägarn-swe]

I posted it on their “Through the Griffin Door: Prisoner of Azkaban chapter 4-6” and some earlier videos but don’t know if they saw it from me or someone else 🙂

@@Jägarn-swe very nice thought jaegarn! Super cool idea

That mustache is GLORIOUS!

Me watching this for the second time and seeing all the comments between mine and the first one and seeing that there’s a BUNCH and attempting to start a conversation 😹😹

[@taralynstevenson4016]

I sent this idea a while back and you kinda touched on a similar idea. What if Harry looked like Lily instead of James. Still a boy, just looked like his mom. Would Petunia treated him differently? What about Snape and the rest of the older crowd? My daughter and i thought it was an interwsting idea.

[@rin-eri]

omg, i love it, a very creative use of the unused remorse mechanic

[@Jerroen100]

I always assumed that Snape could surpass Moody's dusty Dumbledore because he never betrayed real Dumbledore and therefore had nothing to be ashamed of when facing Dustydore

[@Silver_Girl178]

Snape played the long game-- with himself-- but he was only alive to get revenge on Voldemort for taking even the possibility of Lilly from him. He was pretty much-- always-- counting on dying from the night he sat crying in Dumbledore's office...so, he would never have made a Horcrux. He didn't want to be tied to life. But, that said, he might become a ghost for similar reasons to that of The Bloody Baron.

[@adamorth5335]

He does, but WHOOOO, got goosebumps from that death scene! So much better

[@dramaturge231]

That was beautiful. Good work, bros.

[@christruluck9000]

What would have happened if Ariana Dumbledore didn't die or Kendra Dumbledore surrived. Does Albus join Gellert?

[@hollyhartwick3832]

Your initial assessment was correct. The soul isn't simply split by killing. It says very specifically "murder". Assisted suicide is not murder because murder requires an unwilling victim, not a willing and consenting participant. On top of this, the soul can be repaired by genuine remorse, which Snape possessed even before committing the act. There's no way his soul would have been split.

[@EventHorrorEyesOn]

Fascinating, I always (ha) assumed that Dumbledore let Snape in on the horcruxes. Not sure why I did in retrospect. That ignorance would actually explain a lot of Snape’s frustration towards Dumbledore, can’t believe that never sunk in. Also, that then means that Snape’s trust in Dumbledore is even more complete than I thought.

[@DazTrav]

Ive not watched SCB for a few months. I just got his with a pointed, twisted mustache and a "Heyyyyyyyy brother".

[@BoaPython]

It is an interesting "What If" like always. But I have doubts as to if Snape would have been able to make the Horcrux at Grimmauld Place. We don't know what the ritual to make a Horcrux entails (save for that it's horrible), but wouldn't he need the letter on him? In your theory that Voldemort intended to use Griffindor's Sword as a Horcrux from killing Harry, part of the evidence you used for the sword was that no artifacts/significant objects were discovered in the rubble and the sword has the ability to appear/disappear. That's not to say Snape couldn't simply have brought another object with him to turn into a Horcrux, but again, there was literally no time for him to perform whatever ritual was required after killing Dumbledore.

[@CrazyxAngel93]

Love the fuzzy caterpillar on your face J! 😂

[@Roozyj]

I'm not sure if Snape having remorse for bullying Harry would mend his soul, since he doesn't feel remorse for his 'act of evil' when killing Dumbledore.

Wowwwww, amazingly written. Keep it up❤
