Snape is a person with good intentions on the side of “good” in that he did not support Voldemort in the end but he was a bad person who bullied his [child] students because of a grudge based on a woman not loving him back and is unfairly glorified in the book and in fandomhttps://twitter.com/mugglenet/status/951423450899472384 …

yep, which would bother me less if he wasn't still intended/glorified to be a hero regardless. There's something to be said about the various types of grey morality shown in Harry Potter but like, The Gang thought he was a bad guy from the get go bc he acts like one
-
Until "Surprise! He's actually a good guy!" and the endgame is that he's a hero and "the bravest man Harry has ever known" but like, damn, he was still a shitty person in life
-
I think JK was trying to hide a "don't let appearances fool you!" messages for kids/young adults in there but it doesn't really work when the person is a teacher who abuses his students
-
See it bothers me because it literally says “hey as long as you are somewhat good abusint people and being a bigot is a ok
-
yeah, that's basically it? to a point I wonder if she had thought that far when she started writing the first book and was meaning to just red herring him for Quirrell
-
Like I am convinced she has the skeleton (the beginning and end) but how she got there changed over the books
-
yeah there are lots of things that read as out of nowhere and incoherent and sometimes unnecessary with the rest of the narrative (like shoehorning pairings at the very end of the last two books)
