Were you sad when Snape died?

Xenoy Lovegood

I am reading book seven, and I just read the part where Voldemort kills Snape to take the elder wand, and all of the memory's flow out of him. I was actually pretty sad when it happened. What are your comments?

Snape was perfect magician and he mustn't have died...it was horrible how he died...i don't want to think how it will be display in the movie... :( :( :(

sanae_82

Yes I was really sad... I always thought he was on harry's side... but to learned that way it was horrible T_T

blackvenom

A horrible death to one of the most interesting characters of the series.
But 'Prince'sTale' was a chapter so emotional that made everything clear.
Poor Snape.

neville fan

Snape was one of the best characters throughout all the books it was a shame he died.
very sad

myrsini

when i first read the 7th book,i cryied.
but then i realised that the only good think he had done was that he loved lilly...
that is not fair.a person with so much hate inside can't be recognised as a good character...
he hated potter and sirius and lupin so much that he couldn't see that he had become evil...that's my opinion.

the end

hell no i not

witless witch

it was a harsh way to die,but snape wasn't exactly a hero.snape hated harry because he failed to see that harry was goodnatured like lily not arrogant like james. he just helped save is life so that lily wouldn't have died in vain because he loved her

ahsatan

Sad? I was depressed for a week

ronshouldofpickedme

i agree with witless witch.I think it was sorta decent of snape to stick by harry till it lead to his death,but then again he wasn't really dying to save harry,he was dying to save LILLY'S SON.If harry wasn't Lilly's son he would not have helped him at all.That's why some people think(me included)that snapes last words were "look at me"because he wanted to look,for the last time,into lilly potter's eyes.it's quite sad really,snape love for lilly that is.but was i saw when he died?no i wasn't because at that point in the book we didn't know snapes true idenity ie.ifhe was oon voldermorts side or dumbledores.

frenchkid09

i think snape didnt deserve to die, he was a great character in the series of books. sorry snape.

minish

after reading the book and specially that part it left me thinking that if you're like some school jerk your sons gonna be a hero and the poor guy you used to scrw all the time in school is gonna die and sacrifice to save the world from a evil wizard... it made me kind of angry

Harrys_Biggest_Fan

He was a really interesting Character, So It was a shame for him To Die. I didnt Like Him, Just Thought He Was VERY Interesting.xo

Joshie

I was really sad when I read.

AlonseR

Yeah it was very sad because even though you didn't know it he was a brave man and a great magician. He was robbed like Harry of someone he loved and consumed by grief. The saddest part is when he says to Harry, "Look at me.." so he can see Lily one more time. Well done to J.K Rowling though, Snape has to be the greatest book character I've ever read.

JustBlondie

Yes, I was very sad!

Lupin & Kingsley

I was very sad.

Snape is one of the most important characters of the series. I had to put the book down and ponder when he died. How he loved Harry's mom was something that just got to me. And that he was protecting Harry all along since he came to Hogwarts.

It was painful to read him die.

joelenemalfoy

I cried for half an hour and had to put the book down. Severus Snape is one of my favourite characters and it was a shame that he had to go like the way. I would have thought that he would surrvived the final battle and gone on to live his life. Can't wait to see the actual chapter on the big screen in a couple of years time.

Midnight Spells(Bex)

At the end, It changed my opinion of Snape. He really wasn't that bad, and he was also rather brave.
U agree with me?
I had never of guessed that he loved Harry's mum! And it was sad when he said 'Look at me...'. I agree with AlonseR.
But I also agree with witless witch.

Cruciatus

Yeah I was sad. You have to admit, Snape saved Potter's life. He WAS one of the most skilled wizards in the Harry Potter series, right after Dumbledore and Voldemort. I'll be honest with you, I knew Snape was a good character back in the 1st book when Dumbledore said he trusts Snape.
Also...I believe his "hatred" and bad reputation came from his hard childhood...He had the toughest part in the Order of the Phoenix: act a double agent, spending a bit of his time with the people he hates ( Voldemort and the Death eaters ), and helping the Order the best he could, thinking about Lilly and the only person he loved in his poor life...

Yes. In the end, his memory not only showed he didn't hate Harry, indeed, it made us think he loved him in a way he just didn't want to admit it...

I believe he would be #4 in my favorite characters list.

total grifindor girl

Yes I was very sad!
Btw,I think he didn't HATE Harry...My theory is-Snape loved Harry,but he sometimes were very arogant to him because he imaged on his dad (we know that Snape hates James,and we know why to)...I don't agree with Snape in that.Inside,Harry is more like Lilly.
I hope you understand what I want to say...

angeliux

in all harry potter books (without 7 ) I think that Snape is soo bad and , he is Voldemort servant...
And.... when I read sixts book end, I was so angry over Snape, but when I read all true about Snape I was in shock!And when I was soo sad ...........................

Bubblecharms_1992

When I started the Harry Potter Series I throughly despised Snape. But then in the Seventh book I thought he was pretty cool. I was really sad when he died then once I found out how much he cared for Lily. I never suspected that Snape actually had a heart.... but I was really sad... thats my point..

larcsuke01

Yea very! in "The Prince Tale" - 7th book. All the memories revealed. Poor him too much hatred inside him. It's just that.. spying in two sides is not that easy. but I do believe in Severus' Loyalty. - I adore that much. If I were Severus being told By Albus Dumboldore to kill himself.. I won't do that. because As Albus said: Malfoy Draco can't kill him because .. it's sooo evil. something like that, and it is not a good thing to see. and what about Severus?? Is it O.K. to kill people as simple as that?? My point is.. he's also a person.. not a toy or something. So Brave Severus Snape.! xD

HermioneAnnGranger

I was upset.

All through the books one to seven I was fighting with myself.
Was Snape good or bad?

In the Half-Blood Prince, at the beginning, it really made me feel he was the bad guy and at the end of that book - Him killing Dumbledore strengthed my theory inside my head.

But at the end of the seventh book, when Voldemort kills Snape to claim the Elder Wand (Which he doesn't :]), I wasn't that sad.
But after the chapter 'The Prince's Tale' I was almost in tears - it was so sad!

Snape was brave.. I must admit, but he was only saving Harry because he was Lilly's son and he loved Lilly more than he had loved anything else.

I also agree with ronshouldofpickedme[quote=ronshouldofpickedme]That's why some people think(me included)that snapes last words were "look at me"because he wanted to look,for the last time,into lilly potter's eyes.[/quote]

Snape did just want to look into Lilly Potter's eyes one more time.. and that made me so angry that I eventually started to cry again.

So, am I sad Snape died?

Well yes, and no.

HermioneAnnGranger

[quote=larcsuke01] I won't do that. because As Albus said: Malfoy Draco can't kill him because .. it's sooo evil. something like that, and it is not a good thing to see. and what about Severus?? Is it O.K. to kill people as simple as that?? My point is.. he's also a person.. not a toy or something. So Brave Severus Snape.! xD [/quote]

Dumbledore said that Malfoy's sole was undamaged by blood and death, and then Snape said "What about my soul?"

It's really just because Snape has already killed - he was once a DeathEater and Dumbledore knew that it would not damage Snape as much as it would damage Draco.

h-and-g09

aww i miss snape
i feel sorry for him cause all he really did was love lily and save harry

artistpen

At first nope, but then i realized how protective he was and how he didnt really hate him, i was.

larcsuke01

hey Granger. I guess it's the same. They are both people don't they? They don't deserve to kill people as simple as that. They are still humans. not robots. o.O It's doesn't matter if you have killed a person before. It's just that.. let's say you did killed one.. It's still affects you doesn't it?? conscience..

HermioneAnnGranger

Yes I suppose so, yet I still think that, Draco's soul being undamaged, it would have a greater affect on him.

Imagine a link of chain-reacting bombs, you blow-up one, they all start to blow-up.
Snape has already blown up one of the bombs, and therefore, even though he isn't a toy or a robot, he wouldn't be damaged as much. Although Albus trusted and cared a bout Snape a lot, he was also concentrating on Harry, and teaching him about the Horcruxes.. so he wouldn't take it into account to seriously would he, the effect he was having on others?
Because, as Albus said in the first book, Death is yet but the next great adventure.. so he wouldn't really think it was a big issue him dieing. So he over-looked Snape, and the effect assisting his partial suicide.., and I guess he did treat him like a robot and a toy.. but you can't blame him really, can you?

Camilla

i still cry when i get to that scene. i love severus snape, i wish he could have lived but i don't think that fans would have reacted to him the same way if he had lived, it's like he's a martyr now, i think it did affect severus to kill dumbledore, besides, dumbledore said that killing rips a person's soul even if they don't create a horcrux and repenting can fix the soul again even though it is very painful, i think that even if snape had killed before, his soul had repaired itself slightly, but it was better for him to have killed than draco because he knew that he wasn't killing dumbledore, just helping him to die faster

egernhat

I wasn't sad until I realized he was actually a good guy

EliLovegood

I was sad, he did not deserve to die that way

Halfpint_Kay91

I was kind of sad like I still was reeling from the fact that he was actually a good guy, I believed wholeheartedly that he doublecrossed Dumbledore and then I was like "NO! Why'd he die?"

Dominic

i wasnt sad lol thats just a book, A FICTION

teamjakeward

Yes, i totally hated him, I was like who cares if you were really a good guy, you were still a disgusting slime ball who should use shampoo.

Wilbo421

[quote=Dominic]i wasnt sad lol thats just a book, A FICTION [/quote]

The point of books are to evoke a feeling, and evoke a response in the reader. Can you really say that the Harry Potter books have never made you feel happy or sad over something that happened in them? Or any other feeling for that matter.

You don't have to CRY. Just, it's a little bit weird if you are a fan of the books and yet have no sort of emotional connection with them...

teamjakeward

tch. no the only points that made me cry was when harry and ginny were kissing and the epilogue I was all like why would you put him with a nasty ginger shrew and have him show the serious mental issues he has by naming his kids after dead people

Wilbo421

o_O

teamjakeward

[quote=Wilbo421][/quote] I see you are stunned ut it is totally true Harry could have done better like Katie or someone, and I mean James Sirius, Albus Serverus, Lily Luna (though Luna didn't die), maybe one name, possibly a middle name, but all that no, thats someone who can't let go of the past

Wilbo421

Oh no, I agree about the naming of kids part (sort of). It's just "nasty ginger shrew"? Seriously...what?

keet

can't let go of his past? We are what people make us, he is who he is cause of his past!
And nasty ginger shrew......... !?

teamjakeward

He should accept the past and move on not have constant reminders by having the name sof murdered loved ones as his children. And Ginny is so gross Harry could have done far better than someone who probably loves his fame and fortune more than him

dmalfoy

Snape dying was meh, while he was good, he caused the deaths of Harry's parents and nothing can make up for that, after all he didn't do it to keep someone safe, also I agree Maybe Ginny should have died in his place.

keet

Are you on about the film ginny or the ginny in your head? Coz i see people alot different in the film, i expected sirius to be drop dead gorgeous and in the film.... he wasn't, neway looks aside harry and ginny are sweet together!
I think it's good he named his children after people who have been so important in his life

dmalfoy

I agree you can name people after those that were special, but most those people harry never really knew or liked, all he had of his parents was people saying how great people they were, and in his dads cask it was a bunch of lies, since he was an ahole, snape he never knew or liked, I mean Albus sure, maybe he should have named one after remus, he at least helped him with his problems.

Dominic

Um...no offense Wilbo421 but I think it's pretty stupid to be fan of a book lol. I am fan of Leeds United which is a football team but I read books and I read Harry Potter just to not be bored when I go to sleep (because I only read books when I go to sleep). Yes I can say that Harry Potter books NEVER made me feel happy, sad. I read them just for fun and to stop boredom.

Wilbo421

Right, so...if you don't like the books, why are you here?

And why is being a fan of a book stupid? That's a pretty immature comment to make. No offence.

keet

Dominic i think your offending everyone on this site when you say it's "pretty stupid to be a fan of a book"

dmalfoy

maybe he thought it was an abuse harry potter forum, cause there are a lot of those out there, no joke. You could totally report him for retarded comments
