Severus Snape △⃒⃘lways Protects  

He looked really hurt when Prof McGonaggal started firing at him.

It’s unbelievable how skilled Snape was. Deflecting McGonagal’s enraged attacks, knocking out the death eaters, taking their wands and fleeing in one fell swoop. Truly the supreme triple agent.

I always liked how Snape's immediate reaction to the werewolf was to protect the kids.

He looked like the bad guy in the beginning but at the end of the series it was shown that he always had the intention to protect Harry no matter what.

2:57 My favorite part is when Snape was angry at the trio, then the werewolf Lupin came, he immediately turned and put his arms behind to protect them

Being a double-agent is the hardest task

I’m glad Harry named his second son for him, truly acknowledging the major role he played in his life and keeping him safe.

Snape really was the bravest man in the entire series, choosing hatred in the place of love, becoming a traitor instead of a hero. And yet even when everyone was against him he still died with a smile on his face knowing that his suffering for life has come to an end and also knowing that he did his job protecting Harry the boy of the woman he loved her entire life. Even in death.

People say he's a bully for how he treated Harry and his friends, and people say he's a hero because all the while he protected them, the best way to sum up snape is - 'Human', he's a man who can't let go of the torment he experienced, but did everything he could to make up to the people who he cared about and cared about him.

RIP Allen Rickman- probably one of my most favourite performances from an actor

I like how after Snape smells the fake Moody’s flask. He just looks at Harry as though he was trying to say “I’m sorry for accusing you of stealing from my storage Potter. “

Snape was like Harrys step father but really protected Harry

"Then prove it! Control your emotions. Discipline your mind." I just love that scene... Snape provoking Harry and using his outburst to motivate him. You can really see he's just trying to teach him the way he knows best.

The werewolf scene. He doesn't just protect Harry. He tried to protect ALL of them. Even though Harry was his primary objective, he couldn't simply leave Hermione and Ron by themselves when Harry departed. He wasn't just a discpline and loyal man. He was truly a great professor and protector of students when it comes to life and death.

I felt beyond ashamed of myself when I found out about all this and didn’t realize it sooner. Snape was the strongest and noblest man in the whole series.

I knew something was wrong with my initial perception of Snape, when I first watched him protecting the kids with his life. Against a werewolf. Actions speak louder.

To be honest, eventhough Hermoine sumtimes misunderstood Snape, she is the one who can read snapes indirect motives and strategies. She is the only one from the trio who never assumed the worst of him.

Few (not even Harry) realize how Snape deeply felt for keeping Harry safe.

Knowing how much Snape loved Lilly and the fact that Sirius was the one they pinned for her death it makes much more sense how he reacted to seeing him watching it now than it did back then.

Snape was the most important character in Harry Potter

I love how Snape actually didn’t fight Mcgnagall and just protect himself but not atack- that was precious :3

But the fact that Snape was technically the person to teach Harry his signature spell (expelliarmus) is 😮😮

You really can see the hurt in Snape's eyes as Harry accuses him of usurping Dumbledore's place as Headmaster and killing Dumbledore in a a grave betrayal. I can imagine how much he hated being the Headmaster in the way he become so.

Snape saying expelliarmus adds more years into my life

I love how everyone notices him defecting the spells to the still distracted death eaters but don't see him deflecting the initial spells directly down while he is still in between the students and only deflecting to the death eater when it's absolutely positive no student will be hit.

Snape was the best

The thing Dumbledore said to Snape was what truly solidified to me what a real hero is "i'll never reveal the best of you" The silent and haunting prison of love that Snape chose to live in. Bars made out of the hate of others. Guarded by friends and enemies. His only release from the prison was a self-induced death sentence. What a character....

6:00-6:05 When Snape pushes his wand against Barty’s face, he gave that look like “you dare try to hurt the son of my childhood crush?”

Honestly the one that gets me the most is actually Harry’s first quidditch match. Just his face and how he was focusing so intensely on counter curses to save Harry’s life. It’s interesting because in a way, it was Snape vs Voldemort. Kind of poetic.

I love that Snape shows up to yell at Harry, but he sees lupin as a werewolf and he ducks the kids behind him to protect them. I LOVE THAT ❤

Oh. I never noticed before, but Snape flinches when Harry looks him directly in the eye while he's attempting to teach him how to 'discipline his mind'. He was seeing Lily. Then brought up James to hide how much Harry reminded him of HER and not James. His words rarely add up to his actions. His words say 'You are just like your father', but his actions say that he loves Lily and can't help but protect the boy that would have been his, had they not lost each other. Harry really doesn't have many adults he can trust. While Snape may not always be kind, he has always protected Harry, as one would imagine that Lily would have if she had lived. There is no one else who could have played the part. Alan Rickman brings the character to life and gives his whole heart into the role. I wish I could have met him in person, he truly is one of the greats. A shining beacon that perhaps can help others to learn how to be good, not just to others, but also themselves too. Never forget. Always remember. Always.

More than dumbledore who harry admired the most , severus snape cared about the boy and protected him whenever he could without caring that he would be called a villain . not only harry but he protected everybody from being harmed , if around him . died himself knowing elder wand was loyal to draco and not him . became villain by killing dumbledoor . when prof mcgonall attacked him , he never fought back , just defended . he was easily most powerfull wizard after voldermort and dumbledore , maybe even equal or better , but never showed that .

I always noticed how he shielded the children from Lupin as a werewolf. It always showed to me as a character who truly cared for them. He is one of the greatest characters ever written.

Snape is literally the Best spy you could ever have he loved Harry's mother so much he protected him.

Honestly, even before Harry knew the truth, how did he not love Snape? If Snape hadn't saved him, he'd be dead in movie one

I love Snape. So misunderstood. I know how that feels 🖤🖤

It's honestly so sad how the girl he loved died, and everyone, even the boy he secretly swore to protect, misunderstood his character and intentions until after he died. He really deserved better 😢😢

Remus and Sirius: The fun loving uncles Snape: The uncle who acts like they hate you but would do anything for you

Snape was one of those characters I didn’t understand as a child. But now, that I’ve grown older, Snape is one character I respect with my heart and soul. He loved Lily with all his heart so he protected her son with all his strength.

He is like a father. A father who love his child but must act like a villain so his child will be ready to face his demise. His arcenemy. His hardtime. To be ready. What unconditional love. His love is truly "ALWAYS"

1:36 this scene means so much more when you realise Snape thinks Sirus is partially responsible for Lily's death

No one notices when mcgonagall comes at him, he defends and kills the two death eaters behind him before he leaves. He could have leveled that whole room if he wanted to.

The only thing Harry didn’t know that Snape was a better man then James Potter!

"Always" is such a simple word, but when it comes out of Severus Snape's mouth, it always makes me cry.😭

Snape always protected Harry as he was always in love with lily. Alan Rickman was such a fine actor. 😢

Rest in Peace Alan Rickman, you were awesome as Snape

I remember reading the books almost 20 years ago (before book 7 came out), and in every book there would be someone who said to Harry, "You have your mother's eyes." I always knew it would become very significant to the plot before the end, except that I was guessing that it would be magical in nature (like superpowers or something lol). I never expected that its significance was about the strongest force of all: LOVE, specifically Snape's undying love for Lily. 💔😭

Snape was so misunderstood. He loved Harry and Lily, but was too proud to admit it… Then it was too late…💔😭

You know the dueling club actually has another moment if you think about it, when Ron gets called up Snape immediately shoots down the idea, saying that because of his broken wand he could seriously injure Harry with an out of control spell. Arguably throwing Malfoy in kept him safe too since he had direct authority over him and Slytherin as a whole.

To remain nearby, but never close. To protect but never shelter. What a fine line to walk for so many years.

6:06 look at Snape helping Harry down the stairs-what a gentlemen! 😂😂

Snape is really brave to protect the kids like that. His instinct when he was mad at them was to push them behind him and protect them.

The way he looks at the doe patronus with such emotion, sorrow, wonder, undying love and longing ugh *chefs kiss* they dont make actors like that amymore

Shape knew how to motivate Harry in every way he could. The attacks against James, snape knew that attacking his dad would light the fire under his ass. As shitty as it was, it needed to be done.

1:40 When you realize Snape wasn't talking about Lupin and Black's bullying days but was talking about the fact that Lily's location was betrayed and Snape was still suspecting Black.

Love for Lily always touches me..... Snape always makes me cried....😢

Snape is a good example of a well written character. I always thought Johanne wrote Lily based on herself and Snape might have been a real boy she knew before.

He instinctly protect them when Remus attack

9:23 dude I never noticed that it was so slick I always thought that McGonagall hit them ! Cheers 🥂

You know I always equated Snape’s fury when he confronts Sirius and Lupin in the shack to him not getting over being bullied… but now knowing everything about him and looking back, it wasn’t anger… he was filled with the biggest bloodlust because as far as he knew, the man who killed Lily and caused him to suffer was standing before him. “Revenge is sweet”

Snape was the Itachi of Harry Potter

"He was the bravest man I've ever met."😢

Snape stopped voldy from reading his mind and hid his true intentions from one of most talented and evil wizards of all time. He was nearly on the level of Grindlewald, Dumbledore and Tom(human form) himself.

I like how he protects the children by having them behind unlike unbridged.

As a kid growing up with the series, I never liked Snape until Prisoner of Azkaban when he protected them. Only then did I notice what he was doing, to me it wasn't until Deadly Hallows did I realize the real true intention. Heck he's now one of my favorites from the series.

The way you could see the hesitation in both his and McGonagall hesitance to fight, it’s such an awesome subtle detail to add

Alan Rickman turned Severus into something phenomenal. Movie Snape is one of most beloved characters of all time.

It’s crazy that every adult in this scene is no longer with us..

2:55 My favourite one. Goes from pissed to full protective teacher mode in an instant

That last scene with snape hugging lily's dead body and mourning had me in tears.

I still love that when Snape pulls his wand in the Great Hall, the students gasp, but when McGonagall pulls hers, they scatter.

He always protects Harry Potter🥺

One thing I noticed about Snape is that in his conversations with Dumbledore, Snape was angry with Dumbledore that Dumbledore broke his promise to Snape. Snape really wanted to break free of his dark persona, but can't because it is his agreement to Dumbledore

Severus Snape I like your voice

Snape in the movies and snape inthe books are like completely different people Alan rickman is GOAT as snape

9:23 never realized he deceptively killed those 2. Wow.

The most humble wizard, given the most exhausting task.

Last scene never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

0:27 hermione's face 😂

I don’t think you can get any cooler or more badass than Snape.

Wow, Snape really cared and protected harry from danger without showing it as much as possible.

9:27 you can't deny... Snape's got style...

I loved Snape the whole time. I was mad when I thought he died evil. I always knew it was tough love.

I like to think that in the 5th movie, when Dolores demands the truth serum for Harry, Snape is lying that he has run out of ingredients.

Snape hates, and loves Harry, at the same time.

it is totally respectful that Snape has totally responsibility to being a teacher and an ally of Dumbledore and Harry. He just REALLY unhappy with the time bullied by James and reflected it to Harry, despite of this he still keep his duty over his personal grudge.

Men is always less expressive but full of feelings 😊

Allan knowing the full story, makes his INCREDIBLE acting chops even better. You can FEEL the rage he has at anyone he thinks lead to her death And also, he is so fed up with Harry, but i personally feel when he looks into his eyes...he sees her..and while everything else reminds him if James....the eyes show the soul.. and Snape almost resents Harry for it. He loves her so much he does anything for Harry I love the "GIVE ME A REASON " even tho he has the wrong man, he would GLADDLY torture and watch the torture of the man who betrayed her. I almost wish Harry went to Snape for help with things. I think we would have seen a different side. Of him The look he has when Harry calls out Snape. It is SO PAINED. I think he did for a moment lose himself. And then realized what was happning. "After everything I did for you.... for her .. " In this FINAL seconds..he let the hate for James go...and saw her. And her child. Snape wasn't a good man....but he chose to not be a bad one. And when it came to it. He could have said the truth...to spare his life But to quote another "i would have died i would have died rather than betray her"

🥺how this best man dies?snape ALWAYS in our heart...❤️lovely

Snape always gonna be the best defence against the dark arts teacher.

Snape is like the Itachi of Harry Potter

I have been always been impressed by Alan's acting skills, he is just amazing, specially in this scene

Snape : "IMA KILL U POTTAH" *1 second later* Snape : " NOT MY STUDENT"

I never realized until now that Snape was protecting Harry the entire time. He's always been one of my top favorite characters, but watching these clips makes me like the character even more. Tough love is what I say!

Once you know the whole story its actually heartbreaking that he still loved Lily so much after so many years

R.I.P Alan Rickman

Wow his love is true love for her Snape is a good villain

Snape really cared for his students especially Harry. Was willing to bare the blame for murdering harrys idol so voldemort wouldn't go after Draco for the elder wand. He was very meticulous in how he moved.

Snape is one of the best characters in literature ever.

"After all this time? " -Always❤
