What I liked about Snape’s character writing in HP was the fact that he wasn’t always completely bitter and mean and in fact, had potential to be a geniunely good person as himself. In the books it was shown that he was actually supportive and honest with Lily when he was a child. When he was a kid, he actually made Lily feel better when she was bullied by Petunia, he reassured her when she was worried she wouldn’t be good enough, he made her feel special. The entire arc in Snape’s story was based around the idea that Lily was someone who brought out the good in him, but it wasnt just her who was the good part of him. Ironically, he was somewhat a good person from the beginning. That’s why Lily got closer to him and befriended him , and geniunely liked him, far more than James and Sirius at first. in the first place, when they first met, it was Him, who made her feel better and worthy, that being a witch isn’t so bad, and that there is a place where she’d be able to find herself. You could say, in a sense, Snape kind of brought out some good parts in Lily too (and, maybe, hadn’t it been for Snape, Lily wouldn’t have gone to Hogwarts and found her people). Simply because he was open and honest. He didnt chase a dream of becoming a death eater, he didnt think about wizard supremacy, he didnt sink too deep into his misery, he was just. Himself. He approached her because he was just interested in her and geniunely liked her without any ulterior motive. Even the shenanigans he did with Lily (stealing Petunia’s letter) were not too bad, and something children would do.

James: *from upstairs* DAAAAAAAAAAAD!

Neville: One bonus of being an adult is grossly misusing modern slang on purpose and watching my students cry inside.
