@hxlfbl00dprince yeah while i don’t see james as someone who’d simply not care about someone’s death i also agree that the og framing you were talking abt “snape not gaf about james’s death” is one of the least controversial or interesting things about him lmaoo
snape had no obligation to grieve james but saying james wouldn’t have cared if the roles were reversed is simply not true lmao james literally saved his life
i’m sorry but snape was not wrong for not giving a fuck about james dying.. if roles were reversed james wouldn’t have cared either 😭 i understand y’all don’t like him but some of the straws you grasp at are crazy
@hxlfbl00dprince caring abt remus and not wanting snape to die can coexist imo those motivations don’t cancel each other, canon frames him as someone who’d never passively let a person die. i acknowledge the cruelty of his bullying but still don’t think he was ever indifferent to life, even then
@marauderboness like okay it’s “shallow” but it’s not harmful and honestly a teenager loudly caring about injustice is infinitely preferable to one learning cruelty and parroting reactionary talking points, which unfortunately i’ve been seeing a lot
@marauderboness in a moment of rising conservatism among young people ridiculing what are, many times, the entry points into leftist politics is soo self-saboteur i mean almost everyone who later develops a more grounded political analysis went through a phase of performative liberalism
this scene always gets me because it’s harry realising lily didn’t just die for him but that she existed too, she wrote letters and had thoughts and loved her baby and harry is finally seeing her not as a symbol or a legend but as a person, someone warm and kind and alive
Harry looking for each g in Lily’s letter because they were the same as his. him touching the parchment and feeling her presence and life there beside him </333
