Severus Snape Headcannons for his birthday, some sad some happy ( with a big of Percy thrown in)
- before Tobias found out about magic he was a caring father,
- The first birthday cake he got was from the Evans family on his 11th birthday
- Severus and the other heads of houses and sometimes Albus will make bets on students, which career path they will take. Who they will date or marry. Has Severus cheated? Yes
- He smokes. He used to a lot when he was younger. Started at 16, cut back when he became a teacher and it started more when he became headmaster, ( donât smoke itâs bad for you)
- His hair is greasy cause he was never properly taught how to take care of himself so never knew how
- Can ride a motorcycle
- Can paint, not often. Heâs a busy man
- His ideal job would have been running his own shop
- if Albus just took what Sirius did seriously ( no pun intended ) he never would have been a death eater
- He has invented so many spells and potions that he never published due to the war and Albus telling him not to. Harry and Percy got them published in his honour and all money made went to help children in need
- Harry helped start a program with the ministry to help children in bad homes. Ie Tom Riddle, Severus Snape, and Himself. He named it the Severus Foundation. People were hesitant till he went on a rant that if somebody just gave a shit about Tom he wouldnât have done what he did, itâs basically finding foster homes for these magical kids in the magical world, and a place like a orphanage for the ones not taken in by a family. They are treated super well and taken care of. Mostly school age kids who only spend 2 months there a year, Draco donated the manor to be used for the foundation
- He didnât mind teaching the older students. Cause 6th and 7th years chose to be in that class and actually tried
- He has nightmares, about James and Sirius and his time as a death eater and his dad
- He HAS called Lilys Mom Mom before. First few times super embarrassed and then she started demanding it
- Lilys dad took awhile to like him but he eventually did and has only been called Dad once by Severus but it means the world to him
- They wished Lily Married Severus instead of James especially when James ruined Petunias wedding with magic
- Petunia invited Severus to the wedding but he couldnât make it. Did send a wedding gift tho
- Momma Evans has âaccidentallyâ called James Severus. On more then one occasion
- Severus wouldnât have married Lily anyways he only saw her as a friend
- Eileen was killed in a car crash cause Tobias got drunk, he was hurt bad. Severus didnât find out till months later when he got back from 6th year
- Petunia when describing James and Lily to Harry would say things Tobias and Eileen has done cause they were the worst people she knew
- Tobias was sentenced to life in jail cause he hit another in the process and all 3 died, two parents and their teen daughter
- Severus only visited once. Did not end well. Ended with Severus screaming heâs a monster and he hope he dies
- Tobias was killed in jail. He made some vague references that he should have beat Severus more and some of the other prisoners realized heâs a child abuser. He didnât last a year into his life sentence
- Severus hated himself for mourning his dad when he found out 2 years later ( itâs a trauma thing)
- When Mr. and Mrs. Evans died Lily was in hiding and couldnât go to the funeral. Petunia and Severus ( plus Vernon) did. They were almost friendly that day. Sad the last time they saw each other cause Petunia was living on Privet drive by then
- Petunia cried where no one can see her when she found out Severus had died, cause while he annoyed her. He was like a brother to her
- She has one photo of Lily and Severus in her house, itâs not framed or up. But in her bed side drawer
- Severus is allergic to Garlic. This did not help the vampire rumours
- His first three years of teaching sucked cause he went to school with some of his students and he had no confidence. Itâs why heâs so aggressive. When he started out no one listened
- Heâs ambidextrous
- He can speak almost ten languages fluently by his passing
- Luna painted his head masters portrait
- Draco was not his godson but he always tried to look out for him
- He was friendly with Regulus. They never used the word friends. This still pissed Sirius off
- Can and will Fall asleep in weird areas,
- Never thought he would live past the war so didnât bother planing for it
- Does own a game boy
- Has re written the entire curriculum for Potions and Defense, Each year with its own book. Was perfected but never published. Harry and Minerva got them published. They are now standard use and has incredible pass rates in and out of Hogwarts
- While he and Albus were close a huge part of him couldnât forgive him for letting Sirius off Scott free
- Doesnt like poetry. Doesnât understand why ( okay Iâm projecting with this one F poetry)
- Queens/ Freddie fan
- Has kept track of students that he thought would do well, has even sponsored a few who needed financial help in getting their potions mastery
- Luna was the weirdest student heâs ever taught. And his favourite,
- He has only had 4 favourite students, Luna, Percy, Fred, and George
- Luna always had a interesting take on potions and why certain ingredients did what they did, and would hand in potions that looked the wrong colour but did exactly what they were supposed to
- Fred and George would experiment with theirs. They didnât care about the task but changing how the potion worked. And they would make one experiment and one normal one just so they could get that passing grad into Newt classes, they each got a owl in Potions,
- Percy would do what he did and fix the potions in his text books, he would brew without permission in a unused classroom Severus found him once and gave him permission to use a spot in the lab. Cause while he did break a rule he was one of the most serious students about Potions. He saw himself in Percy. A outcast. Treated poorly by his family and constantly bullied by his siblings. Percy was the most promising and engaging student he ever had. He offered to sponsor him and even said he could be his teacher for his potions mastery. Percy was over the moon. Till he tried to bring it up to his mom over Easter holidays and she started crying and guilting him into backtracking. He cried when he turned down Severus offer
- Severus comforted him and told him he could do what he feels best but that the offer is always open to him even if itâs years down the line
- He had a low key hate for Molly and Arthur cause Arthur never even realized Percy didnât want to join the ministry
- Also when they stopped talking to Percy, he knew Percy didnât leave cause he believed the Ministry but that he left cause his family without even his side declared him a traitor
- When Minerva went to clean out his rooms everything was packed and labeled. He knew he was gonna die
- In his Will, his chess set went to Minerva. Along with a few non potions books
- To Harry surprisingly he left a box full of pictures or stuff from Lily, he wrote about the kind of person she was. Truly was. Cause everyone always talked about James and Barely Lily. In the box was a big stack of pictures, a plushies seal, a few hair ties she gave Severus, and a few other nick nacks
- Most surprisingly he left everything else to Percy. His house, money and potions stuff ( like there was a lot of potions stuff and Severus wanted to make sure it ended up with someone who would not throw it out) everything. He left him a letter telling him to pursue his dreams cause if he only ever tries to make others happy he himself will never be
- Percy moved into the house, renovated it as it was falling apart, he started his potions mastery while working at the Ministry after the war. He kept the place from falling apart. They were scared when he quit to pursue potions. His mom tried to talk him out of it but he didnât listen. He travelled and learned a lot. He opened his own potions business when he was 30. He named it Snapes.
- Severus was like a father to him and he hopes he made him proud
- It was Percy who brought attention to the books and unpublished works, they sold the potions through his shop,
- Him and Percy are Autistic with Potions as their Special interest
- A lot of places got named after him. The Snape Foundations. Snapes potions. A wing in The hospital. 1/5 new potions buildings anywhere in Europe was called Snape
- He never cared for fame or fortune. Just potions and spell making
- He would have been so proud of Percy for all heâs accomplished and who heâs become
- He doesnât regret dying. He has a lot of regrets but dying to help another is not one
Hope yâall liked these head cannons!!
