It’s 4am and I just woke up thinking about Snape. You know, as you do. I know that he’s a… difficult character and there’s a lot of… conflicting views surrounding him, but here’s mine:
He had amazing potential to become one of my favourite characters in the books. The concept? Great! The execution? Not so much.
Mind, that’s just my opinion and my taste in problematic, morally ambiguous characters is incredibly specific. I might elaborate on what I’d change in him someday, perhaps when I’m more awake. Idk, I just feel like he could’ve been written differently.
Also, he didn’t deserve to have Harry name his kid after him and neither did Dumbledore. This is a hill I will die on.
It doesn’t matter how cool or ambiguous he is, he’s an adult bully who torments kids, and that just isn’t cool for me.
