Harry isn’t interested on the books in the potion section and Severus is still unsure about how this whole parenting thing works

I think the quality went down considerably because of the size of the document..... so here are some close ups that hopefully look better:

Eileen was a pure-blood witch. A Slytherin. In her fifth year, she was captain of the Gobstones team and the mother of Severus Snape.

Knowing a bit about her story, I can’t help but feel sorry for how she might have ended up. I don’t understand what could have led her, being part of the Prince family, to leave it all behind for Tobias Snape. Love, I suppose.

I don’t want to see her as a complete victim, but I can’t help feeling pity. Eileen was not an important figure in Severus’s life, and that says a lot. Knowing how little affection he showed, the fact that he never mentioned her seems very telling of his relationship with his parents.

In my opinion (and in my headcanon)Eileen wasn’t a present figure for her son. I like the headcanons that portray her protecting him from Tobias, but I don’t think that was entirely possible. Perhaps she wasn’t like her husband, but she also wasn’t someone Severus cared for… or loved.

She was probably just as neglectful, or simply someone who chose to ignore her own child’s existence.

「will you be my friend？」
