What Snape Was Hiding: Jaw Dropping Theories Exposed | Harry Potter

[@erictaylor5462]

16:00 Something I found very interesting: Voldemort was an extremely good lie spotter. Even if you are very good at telling lies, there would always be a chance that perhaps you are not quite good enough to tell a lie. The only safe thing for Snape would be, not to lie to Voldemort. Hell, perhaps Dumbledore himself told Snape not to lie to V. And even if you can successfully lie, your lie may be discovered later. Mrs. Malfoy lied when she said Harry was dead. Even if Voldemort had missed this lie, he would have known she had lied once Harry started behaving like a not dead person. Had Voldemort survived the fight, Mrs. Malfoy would have been in very deep trouble indeed.

I've never liked the Asphodel and Wormwood theory of a hidden message, because it's too much of a stretch. There is, however, a different hidden message from Aunt Petunia hidden in the books, mentioned more than once. Among the specifically mentioned "gifts" from the Dursleys was a pair of Uncle Vernon's old socks that Harry kept in his luggage throughout the series. In literature, socks symbolize family. This explains Dumbledore's answer of what he sees in the Mirror of Erised, and tells us that Aunt Petunia, despite appearances, accepts Harry as family.

Re: "Asphodel is a kind of lily"... While it is true that current botanical systems of taxonomy classify them as entirely separate, several older, now outdated, systems *did* consider Asphodelaceae as a subset of lilies. AFAIK, the last one that did so was the Cronquist system (1981).

Voldemort did not choose to attack the Potters over the Longbottoms. I think it more likely that Voldemort planned to attack both families. It would make no sense at all for the Order to put the Potters into hiding without also hiding the Longbottoms as well. Voldemort had to have known when he attacked one, the other would b3e moved very quickly, so waiting to discover the location of both hiding places would be pointless. So on the night of his attack on the Potters he likely had watchers out, hoping to catch the Long Bottoms as they were moved, or at least learn the location of the new hiding place. The attack on the Longbottoms never came to bass because the attack on the Potters had unexpected complications for Voldemort.

Note: the Advanced Potion Making book we saw was for Snape’s 6th yr. We know for a fact that this was after Lily cut Snape off for his toxic behavior. But yes, Snape and Lily studied together and that she was just as gifted. Otherwise her talents would have tapered off after she stopped being friends with Snape and that would have completely changed Slughorn’s assessment and opinion of Lily’s talents.

I know the books intimately and I have never heard him refer to potion making as a symphony. This is lovely and romantic, but it certainly is not in the English versions I have in either text or audiobook. Are you possibly using a translation? If so, then you should probably point that out in the interests of transparency, just as you probably should be admitting that you're using an AI voice. It is a good one, and I'd like to use it myself, but it is an AI-geneerated voice and not that of a human. Some of these quotes appear to me to be sheere hallucination. Snape did not go to the ppotter house. This was a scene written for Alan Rickman by Steve Cloves. IT is not in the books. This is the kind of thing which prevents my subscribing to your channel. I must say, though, that the 'exiled Prince' theory seems entirely plausible - even if it does throw a large spanner in the works of my own fanfic world.😞😞

my theory is that snape planned to master potion making in order to make a potent love potion for lily but never gets to make it as shes already with james. i wonder if they broke off somehow or a cooldown at some point maybe snape wouldve gone for it

[@dmhq-administration]

WOW! SNAPE'S SO HARDCORE EMO ir something!

[@erictaylor5462]

I've wondered if potion making was really magic, or if it was simply cooking, or a combination of cooking and chemistry. If a muggle got hold of a recipe for some potion, along with the whatever the potion is made from, could that muggle then brew up a potion?

Alan Rickman was perfect.

Hello there

Hating Neville because the dark lord chose the potters over the long bottoms is one of the most childish ridiculous things ever and it makes snake even more of a petulant moron if you ask me
