Between their shared interests and their surprisingly awful behavior toward one another, a lot can be learned about their bond. From the moment Harry meets Snape in the films, it's clear that the Potions Master doesn't like him. Harry doesn't understand why Snape is so awful to him, and viewers can only sympathize with the innocent First Year.
It's not until the final moments of the last movie that everything becomes clear. Snape was in love with Lily and can't move on because of his guilt.
Through his memories, it's revealed that he was worried about Harry's future when Lily and James died and that he was afraid of seeing Harry when he's old enough to attend Hogwarts.
He can hardly bear to see Harry every day, being reminded of Lily and everything he lost. Still, it's no excuse for how he treats the young boy, who has also lost so much.
Perhaps it's just guilt, but Snape really struggles to let go of the past. Grief and mourning are normal and healthy, but even Dumbledore is surprised to learn that Snape still loves Lily "after all this time". If Lily could speak to Snape, she probably would have wanted him to be happy, and if that meant moving on, then she would have advised him to try. Instead, Snape harbors his feelings for her and tends to his guilt and grudges in a very unhealthy manner.
Throughout the series, it's unclear who Snape really supports - Voldemort and the Death Eaters , or Dumbledore and the light. He spreads his devotion between both, but after he kills Dumbledore, it's revealed that this was all arranged. Snape was protecting both Harry and Draco, but for different reasons. After Lily's death, Snape firmly makes up his mind that he won't support Voldemort, and that he wants to help take him down.
He goes to Dumbledore and the two work together to ensure that Snape isn't discovered to be a spy. No matter what reasons Snape has for behaving the way he does, it doesn't excuse his behavior.
Not only does he bully Harry and try to make his time at Hogwarts miserable, but he also tries to turn Harry against his own father. He often badmouths James because he got everything he wished for himself. Perhaps there's truth to Snape's words, but James must have had redeeming qualities for Lily to love him.
Lily and Snape were best friends at Hogwarts , but they met before that. The two were originally neighbors, with Snape hailing from the wrong side of the tracks. As per his memories, he obviously had a crush on Lily long before they formally met. Petunia even accused him of spying on them when the sisters played together. When Lily found herself accidentally practicing magic, Snape emerged and the two soon became friends. As much as people romanticize Snape's infatuation with Lily, the fact that she did not love him back, at least in a romantic fashion, seems to go ignored by many fans of the series.
The fact that Lily only ever saw Snape as a friend reveals a lot about his refusal to respect her boundaries. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Marie Claire is supported by its audience. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.
