[@Centurionit]

Because the killing curse requires will of killing the person and he didn’t want to kill him, perhaps making the curse not working if he tried.

[@lucyj4304]

Good point, but wouldn't the same thing have applied to Snape and Dumbledore?

[@jingchen2063]

Well, killing dumberdore is planned, after all.

[@VulKus117]

Oncat Forever Snape managed to kill Dumbledore with the Killing Curse because he needed to in order for Voldemort to be defeated. He didn’t want Dumbledore to die, but he genuinely wanted Voldemort’s downfall, which required him to complete the killing. Furthermore Dumbledore’s personally giving Severus permission to kill him almost certainly allowed his soul to remain intact, satiating that aspect of the latter’s concerns. It’s possible Voldemort using the killing curse would have worked because he genuinely wanted mastery of the Elder Wand, which he (wrongly) thought he needed to kill Snape to acquire. And of course, the Dark Lord had no qualms for his soul. Could this have overpowered his great distaste at the thought of killing Severus? Quite possibly, don’t forget his one true goal was immortality, for which he believed he needed the Elder Wand. However as rightly pointed out by Dean in this video, the movie version makes little sense, as Voldemort could have simply attacked Snape with a non-lethal curse to test its ability to harm him.

[@lucyj4304]

@@VulKus117 Fair points, both of you. I was simply noticing parallels between the two situations; neither executioner wanted to kill, both had a driving goal, both had great respect/trust for the person they're executing. I can certainly see and get behind the factor of Snape being desperate to bring down Lily's murderer and ordered by Dumbledore, while Voldemort is driven by planning his own potential gain and by his arrogance, which Snape had been very useful for (to his knowledge). Voldy logically should've tested the wand first. But the twisted idea of giving his trusted servant a more "meaningful" death rings true to me- that mentality when ordering Nagini to do it fits into his character. Thank you for discussing this, I always appreciate someone dedicated enough to this fandom (or any fandom) to type out a rationale for their view on a character or fictional event. My kinda people. Have a great day! P.S. On the off chance that any of you read fanfiction, would you happen to have any recommendations? I'm just getting into HP fanfiction and would love to see more that focus on a Snape & Harry mentor/mentee relationship. Those just make me soft, so happy to check any recs out! No shame in self promos. Okay, I'll stop rambling now. Thank you!

[@jhibbitt2896]

i disagree. voldemort may have been annoyed at having to kill one of most useful followers, but he would have wanted the elder wand more. if the killing curse didn't work, that would suggest that voldemort cared more about snape being a loyal follower than him having the elder wand and that i cannot buy

[@juleeuh9644]

I think that Voldemort slit his throat because he had a sense of anger towards killing him, because he was so loyal and essential to him, it’s sick but I think he was almost angered at the inconvenience of having to kill snape, he also didn’t stay to watch him die, it definitely was heavy on his mind

[@ameliashephard2876]

He never slit his throat in the book, that was in the film only. The snake did the killing all by herself.

[@florathepagan]

- Dalcnori - as the books came out first, I’m going to correct you and say that the movies remove the depth of the character. The books didn’t add anything - they are the original canon. The movies robbed Voldemort of his depth and the ability for the viewer to actually pity him in HBP.

[@wafflingmean4477]

@@florathepagan Yeah I agree. You don't have to like him, but seeing Voldemort's earlier years at least helps you understand him, making him a way more interesting villain. In a way his story paralleled Harry's at least to start with. He grew up being abused by those around him, but then discovered he was not only incredible powerful but had an extremely prestigious lineage. He went from being a powerless nobody to as he saw it, the heir of Salazar Slytherin, almost Salazar reborn, but greater. However he then discovered this story he built for himself was a lie, as he discovered he was half blood. Voldemort's obsession with power comes from being traumatised at his most vulnerable, as well as extreme self loathing for his bloodline.

Only now I realize how much Voldemort respects Snape. He actually didn’t want to kill Lily only because Snape told him not to considering the fact the Lily was a mudblood. It was Lily’s choice to die and protect Harry.

[@l.n.3372]

Yeah I think people forget this. Voldemort tried to spare Lily originally. The only person Voldemort ever actually spared. Lily only died because she refused to abandon her child. But Voldemort was willing to spare Lily out of respect for Snape. Voldemort wouldn't have done that for anyone else.

[@ZDtz1786]

@@l.n.3372 prob wouldve done it for bellatrix

[@l.n.3372]

@@ZDtz1786 That argument doesn't make sense. The point was that it was someone's Voldemort had committed to kill then was convinced to spare them/show mercy. Bellatrix isn't a target he had ever committed to kill.

[@Omizuke]

This was actually the beginning of his downfall. Lily's deaths only count as a sacrifice because he "tried" to spare her. In the PoA, he kept telling her to "Step aside, silly girl" He told told her like 5 times to step aside. That seems extremely generous coming from him. So he really wasn't gonna kill her. Hence she choose to sacrifice herself. And he was only gonna spare her, a mudblood, for Snape. So inthe end. The entire story, everything was all thanks to Snape love for Lily. And Voldemort favorable image of Snape.

[@lynnerose7891]

But why would he respect him then? That was apparently the only time he’d done anything else significant as a Death Eater. By the end sure, but 20 years earlier, I don’t think so.

[@schris3]

I believe Voldemort was blindsided by Snape because he felt a deep connection and respect for him due to all their similarities: coming from very humble origins in the muggle world, having deep resentment for their parents and having a cold, methodical approach on reaching their goals.

[@jayfeather965]

All that and they are both very powerful wizards. In his own twisted way (especially after dumbledores death) he had some extreme respect for snape. Voldemort respected snape. He feared Harry. And he hated how much he respected and feared Dumbledore. There really wasn’t anyone else who he even acknowledged and saw as somewhat equal to him.

[@tstefanyk6604]

I love how, unlike the other death eaters, Snape never cowered or debased himself before Voldemort, maintaining his dignity even in death. He could have begged for mercy, or revealed that Draco was the master of the elder wand, but he took it like a man, a very brave one at that. I think Voldemort would have admired that quality, perhaps making it more difficult to kill Snape. I agree that Alan Rickman's outstanding performance in this scene gave this pivotal moment the weight it deserved. Thank you, again!

Wumbology No because Voldemort thought that Snape was the master of the Elderwand so to win it, he had to kill him

[@Nerdnotwashere]

True, if Voldemort really had any compassion then he would have killed him very quickly. Think of how much pain Snape was probably in those last couple of moments. Granted I will give it to him since if he truly hated Snape then he would have used the Cructias Curse on him first but that was still pretty torturous.

[@itzTheChachi]

Did everyone forget the movie version of the deathly hallows? Hermione stated: "That night. Another wizard took the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure." Voldemort literally recreated the story believing he became the master of the elder wand. However, lets not forget that Voldemort loves killing people, simply watching their lives fade away gave him pleasure, but killing Snape gave him no joy at all. I wouldn't say that killing Snape angered Voldemort, but doing the deed definitely bothered Voldemort that it had to be Snape. I'm willing to bet that Voldemort would have instantly ended any other death eater except Snape.

[@jaz_playz2447]

except for bellatrix

[@cww6557]

It was supposed to be Malfoy

[@dwightschrute3721]

But Voldemort didn’t know about the deathly hallows. Don’t forget that the resurrection stone was part of his grandfathers ring, which he made a horcrux, without realizing what it was. The hallows were supposed to make whoever had all three master of death, which Voldemort would have been obsessed with had he known. He simply knew that there was this wand out there that was supposed to be the strongest ever. So I don’t think he was recreating the story intentionally.

[@itzTheChachi]

@@dwightschrute3721 People from the wizarding world know all about the deathly hollows and he's spent more of his time in there instead of the muggle world. Also not everyone knows what they look like. No one knew Dumbledore had the elder wand nor did they know that Harry had the cloak despite using it on several occasions. I think it was supposed to be a childrens story or something.

He didn't think a 'regular" witch or wizard could be better at him at anything hence a part of the reason why he didn't realize that someone in his innermost circle has been lying to him for years and really working for the other side.

[@4yze]

Hmm... respectfully, I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. Arrogance is always a product of something. An effect, rather than a cause. Where does Voldemort’s belief of superiority, his arrogance come from? How does he justify it within himself? By objectifying the world and empirically evaluating worth along standards of his choosing. It is his inability (or refusal) to empathize and certain refusal to see intrinsic value - in short, an inability to love - that caused his arrogance; which caused his downfall.

[@mercuriology45]

@@4yze I disagree with u in every way, but who knows psycopaths aren't capable of love...yet they understand emotions and what people do for their "loved" ones ...Voldemort thought everyone was loyal to him no matter what he did...It doesn't take the abilty to love someone to understand that people do Selfless things for love, but anyways it's a children's book if Jk wants us to believe that love defeats evil well i guess let's buy into that

[@4yze]

Sabrina Zanoletti 😅 I don’t think it’s a matter of believing it just because JK says so. More to the point, I didn’t say you were wrong; merely that I preferred the canonical explanation as a more complete explanation. Why? Because psychopaths do not care about loyalty outside of how it benefits them. They do not care about anything outside of how it benefits them. Everything is an object, a concept that either serves, does not yet serve, or opposes their will. Is that arrogant? Yes. Absolutely. But to call it just that is short selling it by a mile.

But regardless, even if I'm wrong on that (which I mostly likely am because I'm honestly unsure of when Dumbledore found out Riddle's lineage) it still is definitely a possibility that Dumbledore kept it a secret. After all, he himself stated in the 6th book, after one of Harry's lessons, that Harry should only inform Ron and Hermione of what he'd learned because he (Dumbledore) didn't want Voldemort to find out about how much he knew of Voldemort's past.

Sometimes I wonder. If Dumbledore's plan had worked and the power of the wand died, then Voldemort would have understood Snape's treason and have killed him anyway. So even if not everything worked according to the plan, at least it had let Snape time to look after the students,... Imagine how Hogwarts would have been if Snape hadn't been there to temper Death Eaters. Snape wasn't happy about killing a man he respected and the only one who trusted him, first because of the respect he had for him then because maybe with the instigator of the plan it won't work and end up as it should and maybe even because he had a feeling that would lead to his own death.

I believe Riddle regretted killing Lily, even though Snape asked him to spare her life. Yet Lily chose death instead. So when the time came for Snape to die, so that he (Riddle) could become owner of the elder wand (or so he thought), Riddle knew his didn't hate Snape enough for the killing curse to him. Therefore he had Nagini go it.

[@TnT_F0X]

I feel like Voldemort was like Thanos getting the Soul Stone. Snape and Bellatrix were the closest thing to family he had and he could count on them... Which is the closest thing to love Volly could feel. So killing Snape was like cutting off his right hand, it had to be done but he didn't like doing it.

[@youraveragemango8671]

I feel like this moment is the only moment that Voldemort has ever shown compassion. Before he had Nagini kill Snape, he hesitated.

[@jameswest981]

I sometimes wonder, if Voldemort could tell that Snape was blocking or clearing his mind,when they interacted.

[@abdirahmanidris290]

I wondered that too but Occlumency masters like Snape can present certain thoughts without showing they are hiding something else. Weaker Occlumency users such as Draco make it obvious they are hiding something

[@darylsdesigns6679]

There are several similarities between Lord Voldemort and Emperor Palpatine: • Both are near unparalleled masters of the dark arts with only a few capable of matching them. • Both are hungry for unlimited power and will kill or torture anyone to achieve it • Both are incapable of feeling sorrow, empathy or remorse • Both have loyal followers to achieve their goals; Voldemort with his Death Eaters and Palpatine with his Sith apprentices and dark side adepts • Both sought immortality • Both were brought down by outside and/or unforeseen circumstances; Darth Vader’s love and sentiment for his son led him to betray Palpatine and Harry being the master of the Elder Wand and the destruction of the horcuxes led to Voldemort’s death

I feel like Voldemort always seems to make things harder for himself. For example if he really wanted Harry dead he could have had one of the junior death eaters attending hogwarts poison his pumpkin juice or something. But his arrogance got in the way.

[@lieutenantdan6709]

Or he could of killed him right away in the grave yard instead of letting him free so he had a chance to leave the grave yard

[@ahsanflamezz]

I think that Voldemort thought that the elder wand was Snape's and he couldn't kill the elder wand's owner so he used magic to simply weaken Snape and then order his snake to kill him. I think Voldemort made a plan before Snape was sent

[@miranda2421r]

I think Snape only thought about Lily in those last moments (at least before Harry came in). How hard he had fought for her not to have died in vain, how he had given everything, even his life. How he could now finally see her again. How all of his fighting is finally done.

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

It wouldn’t have worked , snape was never the master . Draco disarmed dumbledore not snape.

[@Lady_Merlin_]

I think Voldemort also respected Snape too much for the killing curse to be truly effective. Using another being to carry out his will would get the job done much better. This may have also played as a factor in his reasoning.

[@stevenbass732]

In the books, it was revealed that if Snape had indeed been the master of the Elder wand, the wand would not have killed him.

[@carmensavu5122]

I highly doubt he didn't use the Killing Curse because of the experience he had with it backfiring. I mean, he kept trying to use it ON HARRY.

[@danuk2136]

Huh? He did once

[@mirandawinkfield8569]

I think it’s purely because of the storyline, as, if Snape had been killed with Avada Kadavra (AK), Harry wouldn’t of been able to get Snape’s memories, and this would have changed the whole story from then on completely. However, in terms of in the story why AK wasn’t used, this video answers it really well, I have never thought of this that much, thanks!

[@jonghwabiased8671]

The thing about the killing curse. You have to want it, and that was something he didn't want. He didn't WANT to kill Snape but he HAD to kill Snape in order to make the elder wand obey only him, but it never answered to Snape in the first place.

I feel sorry for nagini now that I've seen fantastic beasts 2.

[@tubefan10]

@ Harry Potter Folklore : Another great video. If I may add something that wasn't mentioned in this episode, another possible reason why Voldemort chose not to use his favorite curse "Avada Kedavra" is because in order for it to work you have to MEAN IT, and because Snape was such a valued & respected member of his inner circle, Voldemort didn't want to risk the chance & personal chagrin that would come from that spell failing due to his own feelings for Snape.

[@Longshanks1690]

Because then the rest of the story couldn’t happen. Let’s face it; there’s no other reason behind that. If the Dark Lord’s reasoning was based on the technicalities of wandlore, why would he take that risk rather than using a wand to kill Snape? It doesn’t make any sense and only exists so the other scene can happen.

[@fifitims]

I'm confused. What's the risk that Voldemort would have to take?

[@Longshanks1690]

@Fifi Tim That not using the Elder Wand to ensure it “passed” to Voldemort meant risking it becoming ownerless.

People tend to forget how much Voldemort and Snape had in common. I believe Voldemort saw Snape as like a little brother/son.

About the elder wand, sliding snapes throw in the movie, maybe Voldemort didn’t know it couldn’t harm him. Maybe it wasn’t an oversight. Snape wasn’t the wands master anyway, Harry was. Snape kill Dumbledore, but Draco was already the master of the wand, because Draco had disarmed Dumbledore

[@stevenbass732]

In the book, Voldemort showed no anger or remorse. His only words were "I regret it", meaning not a syllable.

[@vivianp5962]

Absolutely brilliant actor, Alan was in this roll. Miss him so much. 💐

[@ethanomcbride]

Now I have to note, Severus wasn’t actually the elder wand’s master. That was Draco, the one who disarmed Dumbledore in the tower. So, technically it could’ve been used to harm Severus BUT Tom didn’t know Draco was its master and thus, wouldn’t have tried to kill Severus with it. (Now allow me to retreat back into my technicality cave until the next minor error appears)

By this time Harry was it true master.

@@abbottshaull9831 correct but Voldemort also didn't realize that it was Draco that was the master before Harry. No matter what Voldemort did short of killing Harry he would of never been the master as he would not of thought to disarm Harry first.

[@liezlsmal9151]

All in all a great video! I had been asking myself over and over again WHY Voldemort had to kill his most (?) loyal follower. Your video opened my eyes to the matter of the Elder Wand possession. If I have it correct the possession of the wand happened like so: Dumbledore won the wand from Grindelwalt, Snape had agreed to murder Dumbledore by the latter's instructions so Snape won the wand from Dumbledore. It would remain useless to Voldemort (having coveted the wand so desparately) and realised that he had to kill Snape to be the Elderwand's true master. Little did Voldemort understand what lay ahead for him. Because Harry, Hermione and Ron had killed 6 out of the 7 Horcruxes (including the part of Voldemort's soul that was attached to him since he was a baby, Neville killed Nagini with the Sword of Gryffindor and the final piece of the Dark Lord's soul was destroyed. Voldemort was now in a very weakened state even though he still possessed a physical body. When Harry killed him with the killing curse Harry became the new owner of the Elder wand. Personality traits that Harry shared with Dumbledore was that that neither were particularly vain or sought glory or immortality and certainly NOT power. Standing on the Hogwards bridge Harry snapped the Elder wand in two in front of Hermione and Ron rendering it useless should it ever fall into the hands of any other wizard.

[@alexandra-eg3ku]

Snaps wasn’t the Wanda owner it was Draco who was the owner of the Elder Wand so that’s why he COULD kill Snape and Harm him

[@abbottshaull9831]

But Voldemort didn't realize this.

[@zat1245]

@@abbottshaull9831 Yeah but he said Voldemort harming Snape with the wand in the movie was a contradiction because it shouldn’t have been able to harm him. Which is wrong. It can because he isn’t the master.

Should also look at it this way. He cared so much for Snape and couldn't use the killing curse because you have to actually mean it. And he couldn't because it was snape

Stealing the life of his victims... in French the name Voldemort is the fusion of three words: vol de mort. You can translate this in two ways: flight of death or theft of death. So, yeah, very nice 👌

[@kenjamin9147]

Voldemort values Snape, and would certainly keep him alive given his way, but he does not regret him dying. The book is very clear about this; 'I regret it', said Voldemort coldly. He turned away; *there was no sadness in him, no remorse. It was time to leave this shack and take charge, with a wand that would now do his full bidding.* This, more than anything, shows the mindset that Voldemort truly had. J.K Rowling makes a point of specifically, immediately contradicting his claims of regret; they are merely a courtesy he affords the servant he acknowledges as loyal, faithful and reliable. The likes of Lucius or Yaxley wouldn't even have been offered such. Instead, his thoughts instantly turn to how the wand is now his and the next steps he must take. He doesn't spare Snape another thought, and I have no doubt J.K made it this way to further emphasise just how inhuman and sociopathic Voldemort is; even his most devoted follower means nothing to him; deep down, nothing matters to him except himself.

[@pogboom-mm]

7:03 that makes perfect sense mate. Snape wasn't the master of the Elder Wand, so it could harm him, and Voldemort didn't understand it properly, so he wouldn't know that the wand can't harm it's master. Nothing is contradicted.

[@albertbaldry9464]

Voldemort kills Snape with Nagini in the book. He thinks it is enough to just order the death and not cast the spell himself. Navi i is for plot so Harry gets the memories.

[@lisakaz35]

True that Snape changed owing to Lily but it's kinda hard to believe that in the 17 or so years after her death and the years of working close to Dumbledore he didn't ever question his past behavior in service to Voldemort. That's doesn't make him a good person but one capable of consciousness and capable of living with himself and his past. Why else would he worry about his soul being damaged by killing Dumbledore? Why would (at least in the film) he question Dumbledore and say something like "has it ever occurred to you...that I don't want to do this anymore?" I think he's far more complicated that saying other than for Lily he's an unrepentant, evil guy, unchanged by time or experiences he wouldn't have had unless he became a double agent. How could he live in that space for all those years as if he lamented not being a real Death Eater or what? I think there's a lot more to him that isn't seen because, firstly, no one would know (certainly not Harry). I think he was playing a public/private role and even Dumbledore didn't fully see all of Snape. He took that with him.
