If You're A Snape Fan, You've Probably Had That Moment Scrolling Through Some Marauders Posts And Thought:

If you're a Snape fan, you've probably had that moment scrolling through some Marauders posts and thought: Did these fans even read the books? Or maybe you've come across those wild comments where Snape gets turned into some kind of full-on villain, while James and Sirius get treated like flawless, saint-like heroes.

It’s like they’re talking about a totally different Harry Potter series! Sometimes, you’ve gotta wonder—do they even know what really happened in the story? Are we even talking about the same James Potter here? And honestly, comments like this kind of answer that question:

If You're A Snape Fan, You've Probably Had That Moment Scrolling Through Some Marauders Posts And Thought:

A lot of Marauders fans (not all, but definitely some) have no clue what really went down with the Marauders and Snape, who they really were, or what role they actually played in the story.

They’re just here because, let’s be real, the Marauders fandom is super appealing. It’s full of people their age, with tons of fantasy, drama, epic fanfics, hot character fan-casts, tragic love stories, and endless TikTok edits, roleplays, and cosplays. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it makes you feel like you belong to something special.

With all this awesome fan content, why would anyone go out of their way to actually read the books and face the not-so-glamorous truth? The Marauders in the books are mostly about petty fights, bullying, and not much in the way of exciting, romantic storylines.

And that’s exactly why the hate for Snape has gotten so intense. Snape doesn’t fit the dreamy, tragic aesthetic they’re looking for. He’s basically just there to be the “bad guy,” so they have someone to hate and blame everything on. That way, their perfect heroes get to stay flawless, and Snape can just be the villain in their headcanon.

I have a more comprehensive post here about the (rebranding of the Marauders and, consequently, the need to villainize Snape)

The idea that Severus is the sexually aggressive creep in the Snape/Lily/James love triangle comes purely from a place of lookism and classism. There is no evidence at all for that ridiculous conclusion that Severus is an “incel” or a “stalker”. James is the one who uses his abuse of Lily’s friend to try to blackmail her into dating him all the while ignoring her obvious distress, who threatens to physically harm Lily with a very abusive “Aw, don’t make me hex you”, and continues to persue her romantically despite her expressed dislike of him. Those are all things James does in the text of the story, but because he’s conventionally attractive it’s hot rather than predatory. And because he’s a rich white male with all the power and privilege, he gets to be “Just A Boy” where any wrong step Severus makes while having rocks thrown at him from all directions instantly makes him a monster because he’s “greasy” and “creepy” and “weird”. It’s not about the behavior.

Whereas, there is not one single example of Severus doing anything at all resembling “stalking” Lily. In fact, there is not one piece of concrete evidence that Severus was romantically interested in Lily at all, so even IF he was, he kept that to himself to the point that even the reader doesn’t know. The only time Severus ever insisted on talking with Lily was to apologize not to get her to go on a date. That was an isolated incident (unlike James’ behavior which is portrayed as how he casually interacts her) and it was because Severus felt guilty and wanted apologize as soon as possible. And you know what Severus did after Lily refused his apology? He left her alone. That’s why the memory is his worst, that was the whole point, because even though it hurt him so much to lose the only person he had, Severus let Lily go and respected her choice to run off with his abuser, and later spent the rest of his life honoring her memory with no possibility of personal gain.

Why is it that an impoverished kid from a broken home who is being actively bullied and abused at school is “creepy” and “gross” for only having one close friend who he genuinely cares about and treats with respect, but the rich kid who has every privilege at his disposal to make people like him or at least listen to him is “playful” and “fun” for being actively predatory and abusive? That double standard is so transparent. People literally only think James is the better choice because he’s hot and privileged, and I’m so tired of Jily shippers’ fake-woke bullshit. They give James so much credit for lying to Lily and continuing to bully Severus behind her back so he could get her to date him without changing anything, but then claim that Severus was the one changing for selfish reasons when he was doing what she would have wanted years after she was dead and couldn’t possibly give him anything in return.

Seriously, if you think that Severus worked as a spy because he “wanted to fuck” a woman who had been dead for 11+ years then you’re clearly too stupid to have a conversation with like wtf are you even talking about? Was Lily gonna resurrect herself just to fuck Snape if he protected her son enough times? Log off Tumblr, clearly it rots your brain.
