Snape Chose The Double Life Because Of Lily's Death The reason Snape and Lily ended their friendship was his moving to the dark side. He spreads his devotion between both light and dark, but, after he kills Dumbledore, it's revealed this was all arranged.
Originally Answered: In the Harry Potter series, why didn't Lily marry Snape? The simple answer: She didn't love him. The more complicated answer: He proved again and again that he wasn't willing to listen to Lily, respect her or her views, or love her in a healthy way.
The biggest indicator that Severus Snape cared for Harry Potter was his eternal love for Harry's mother, Lily. And the strong feelings that Snape felt for Harry's mother carried on with his feelings towards Harry. Harry resembled so much of his mother's personality, as well as her physical appearance.
Because she eventually accepted that Snape stood for everything that she despised. That despite all of his declarations of loyalty to her and his affection for her, Snape did care enough about her or himself to change his behavior for the better.
J.K. Rowling apparently confirmed that Lily Potter was pregnant again when Voldemort murdered her | Fandom. Thus, in murdering the Potters, save for Harry, Voldemort also killed a younger brother or sister that Harry would ultimately never know before it was even born.
In the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," which has become part of "Harry Potter" canon, it was revealed that Bellatrix conceived a child with none other than Lord Voldemort.
In the Cursed Child, Bellatrix and Voldemort produce a daughter named Delphi. She was supposed to be born a few weeks before the Battle of Hogwarts and was subsequently orphaned when both mother and father were killed.
She missed Snape, but she knew she could never forgive him. Snape never stopped trying to make amends. But Lily remained steadfast. She could not, would not, forgive him.
Snape's request, although ultimately ignored by Voldemort, is important not only because it points to how much he cares about Lily, but that, in those few seconds, he also inadvertently helps to save Harry's life, because if Lily wasn't given the option to save herself, the curse wouldn't have rebounded.
While Dumbledore said he would protect the Potters, it was on the condition that Snape now worked for him as a double agent. Snape's love for Lily ran so deep that he agreed. When she was still murdered, he reluctantly decided that her death would not be in vain, and that he would protect her son.
His dad gave it to him. To elaborate on Icecreamdif's answer, he inherited it as a family heirloom dating back to Hardwin Potter, who married Iolanthe Peverell, granddaughter of the Cloak's original owner Ignotus. It was passed down to the eldest male of each new generation of Potters since then.
Family. Snape's family background is mostly shown in flashbacks during the course of the last three novels. Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince").
Severus Snape and Lily Evans were childhood friends who met when they were young and attended the same Muggle primary school. They developed a close bond despite their different backgrounds and became inseparable.
James Potter loved Lily more. James Potter and Severus Snape are very different and yet very similar. James was born to a wealthy inventor, Fleamont Potter, and his loving wife.
Snape himself called other Muggle Borns that. It took a lot of control to call Lily, well, Lily. In the heat of the moment, Snape lost control and called Lily the forbidden word. He called her a mud-blood by accident because he was frustrated that lily did not like his closest friends.
Why did Snape stay loyal to Dumbledore after Lily died?
But when Lily's life is directly threatened, he has to make a choice, and he chooses to stand between Voldemort and Lily. To do that, he aligns himself with Voldemort's chief opposition, Dumbledore, and becomes his spy. Even after her death, he remains at Dumbledore's side at Hogwarts and vows to protect her son.
Severus suffered terrible remorse when Voldemort decided that Harry Potter was the subject of the prophecy and that Lily Evans, the woman whom he always loved, was now in danger as a result of his actions. He begged Voldemort to spare her, who agreed.
And it really was not for him (Harry) but for her (Lily). And Snape's doe hopped on and away leaving behind Snape filled with pure memory of his love for her. It was then that Dumbledore really understood how much Snape loved her and how real his love was...
One with a severe dislike of Lily's former best friend. Let's get into your points one by one, though I would like to say first that I'm not sure if that quote from Lily about James making her sick really matches up with her being the 'submissive one'. - Yes, Lily knows James is a bully. That is why she loathed him.
James was slightly better because he truly did change and he allied with the Order out of basic morality compared to Snape who stayed an all around bitter person. and only allied with the Order out of love for Lily.
*Snape and Lily shared the same patronus. The reason Snape has the same patronus as Lily's is because he was deeply in love with her and the grief and guilt he felt after her death may have cause his patronus to change into a doe, or it already was a doe depending on when he first cast the spell.
Before her death, Bellatrix secretly gave birth to an illegitimate daughter named Delphini, whom she conceived with her beloved master, Lord Voldemort. Delphini was conceived sometime after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996 and before the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor in 1998.
As Bellatrix and Voldemort were both killed in the Battle and Bellatrix's husband Rodolphus was imprisoned at Azkaban, Delphi was raised by Euphemia Rowle, a Death Eater. However, the life at Euphemia's was miserable for Delphi as Rowle did not really care for her and only took her in because she was paid for it.
