Snape falls in love?

Take into account the fact that they are heads of opposing houses, snape killed dumbledore, and the fact that snape is most likely no longer going to be anywheres near hogwarts, and it's doubtful.

But it would be dang hilarious, wouldn't it. teehehehehe.

It might be that Dumbledore is not dead. Maybe Snape's not really a Death Eater, and he killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore ordered him to, as part of a grand plan. What if Dumbledore too has horcruxes? Dumbledore had drunken a potion earlier? Well, it could've been Polyjuice Potion.
See, Dumbledore's patronus is a pheonix. He might be dead as a person but pheonixes are reborn from their ashes.

J. K. Rowling has said that Dumbledore is truly dead and will not be coming back to life. Personally I thought the ending of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was very touching, and would say that it was a total waste if in fact Dumbledore is brought back to life.

Anyway, Dumbledore's lives on in his friends and loved ones:
"I'm Dumbledore's man, through and through." -- Harry Potter

If you check out my profile the eccentric Headmaster happens to be my favorite character, also I've personally felt that he needed to die since Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, in order for Harry to grow and be forced to protect those he cares about, without Dumbledore around who will stand up to Voldemort, who will keep the Order of the Phoenix strong?

I think we talked a little about this is WizardCast Episode 1.

Ok, Dumbledore is dead. But J K Rowling also said that there are clues about His death in the third book . The third book was about time travel. Maybe te next book ends up in Harry time travelling and saving Dumbledore just like he saved Sirius and Buckbeak.

I agree. Now this is making me read the books all over again.

I think Snape hates Harry and James because he fell in love with Lily. I know, creepy. But it does sort of explain Snape's feelings. And he doesn't like Harry because he looks so much like James and he has Lily's eyes. This is just what I think, and I really don't care if you agree.

I'm not rude, just stubborn bull-headed and competitive. I also enjoy a good argument in case anyone's interested. I can argue for hours.

Can I just say. "Dead on."

I see no way you can call Snape's feelings for Lily, "love". He might have been obsessed or some other out of wack emotion, but Love? Not a chance. If he had truly "loved" her, he would not have called her a "mudblood", nor would he have joined Voldemort as a DE. . . he knew that being a DE meant he would spend his life attempting to rid the world of "mudbloods".

In addition, if he had truly had real remorse he would not have been able to look into Harry's eyes, (and each time he did, he had to be remined of Lily), and treat him like dirt. In the end he was not on Harry's side, I believe he was on his own side. . .he knew that if Voldemort won, he would be in a horrible situation and didn't want that. . .(let's be real, Riddle was a psychopath, a very dangerous psychopath who would kill anyone anytime and Snape was smart enough to figure out that if Riddle had won, he would not be "safe").

Snape was out for Snape, and anything he did to help Harry was only a means to help himself get rid of Voldemort. Snape was a creepy guy and a deviant. RIH. . .(ROT in HELL, Snape. . .)

There is more to snape than that certainly i think he cares for Harry because of clues that JK drops in the books

The books are virtually void of instances that Snape has any care or good feelings for Harry. . . while it can be argued Snape was helping Harry as he fled like a coward from Hogwarts in HBP, this is crushed by the mountains of verbal, physical and mental abuse the Harry was forced to edure by Snape.

It's also laughable for anyone, JKR included, to argue that Snape "loved" Lily. . . love is not the obsessive behavior Snape exhibited in DH. . . Snape could never haved abused Harry if he had truly "loved" Lily. . . he coveted her like a bug collector covets a butterfly. . . sort of sick.

i think that snape had feelings for lily and hated james because he was the one that married her. he i simply believe that he called her a mudblood because his emotions were a little bit off at the time.

YES,I AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOU.BUT...SNAPE DID IN FACT HAVE FEELINGS FOR LILY.HIS PATRONUS WAS THE SAME AS LILY'S PATRONUS;A DOE.

Y R U YELLING

How do you know that Lily's patronus was a doe?

All Snape's patronus signifies, I think, is that his patronus is taking on his memory of Lily since James was a stag animagi, and doe is a female deer.

I agree with what huntington is saying though. Just because Snape is redeemed in DH, just because he was on the good side.. doesn't forgive him of his mistreatment towards Harry.

*sighs at the previous 2 posts*

guys don't use all caps in your post!!!

ok....ok...ok...sorry....sorry....but Snape did in fact have feelings for Lily....the Patronuses were the same...thay were both a doe.

I know that Lily's Patronus was a doe because in the seventh book it tells you...I haven't read it in a long time though....but it tells you in the seventh book...by the way...nice picture of Luna....she is as sane as you or me....

Do you know what chapter thats in? I must have missed that bit the first time I read it, havent got around to re-reading though.

And thanks, I have a few more icons as well, they're all pretty cool.
