I can’t translate because of the wordplay, but the point is, Harry was rude to Snape.

Snape: Director! This child speaks rudely to me!

Albus: oh merlin

Snape + Significant Moments (1/3)

“DON’T—” screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them—“CALL ME COWARD!”

Harry as an adult likes to occasionally visit his grumpy boyfriend at his work and mess with him.

A tale of a half Prince that lost his best friend

Do you think Snape suffered from depression? and if he did how did he deal with it?

1) Yes

2) Through sheer force of will/duty.

3) I honestly think that he would probably have committed suicide when he found out that Lily was dead if not for Dumbledore stepping in and pulling the “you have to live for her son” thing.  Snape felt SO guilty for Lily’s death and the destruction of the happiness she’d found with her husband/child.  She was his only friend ever in his whole life.  To say he took it hard is an understatement.

4) You’ll notice that even though Snape is very intelligent and inventive/creative, he does very little with all of that ability. From everything we can tell, he’s a kind of pathetic teacher whose life revolves around his job (and saving Harry’s arse). He doesn’t do anything to improve Spinner’s End or change things around to remove the negative memories of his youth.  He doesn’t even seem to own anything of his own, save books. He also wears the same clothing (or just doesn’t really care about fashion/style so just owns a lot of the same stuff). He doesn’t take care of his appearance in general, either, beyond the basic hygiene expected of him in his job.

Can you imagine Snape going out for a nighttime stroll because he can’t sleep even though it’s pouring rain, and as he’s walking, impervious to the storm and nearly lost in thought, he finds this cat and he figures it must belong to one of the students and he’s just thinking ‘this is no weather for a cat to be out in’ because the poor thing is soaking wet and probably freezing. So he picks it up, meaning to bring it inside, and as he’s walking this cat just starts licking his hair like it’s trying to groom him and Snape’s just like “Good Lord, cat! Who are you, my mother?” but he’s not really that upset and he brings that cat into the castle and leaves it by the nearest fireplace so it can warm up and find the student it belongs to.

Then YEARS later, long after he’s become aware that Minerva is an animagus, he’s just sitting at the staff table, eating breakfast or something, and just pauses with the spoon halfway to his mouth like ‘Wait a minute. That wasn’t a student’s cat. That wasn’t a student’s cat at all.’

Maybe a little dark question but, you said that Snape's will to live is very strong and I agree (e.g. in battles) and yet we see him suicidal at one point in the books. Do you think he was suicidal in general or was it just right after Lily dies? Do you think his strong will to live comes from his rough upbringing and experiences? Or does he sort of do it out of 'you ain't seen the last of me' spite (as he was nearly murdered by his school mates)?

Severus is suicidal without his Purpose.

He has a Purpose (protect Harry so that Lily didn’t die in vain). Once his purpose was fulfilled, I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed suicide if he hadn’t been killed by Nagini. The thing about his death is that Snape literally dies thinking that he’s failed.  All those years, he’s been working hard, doing his damnedest to survive, and right near the end before Voldemort can be defeated, he gets murdered without being able to do much to tip the scales in Harry’s favor.

When he says to Dumbledore “Has it occurred to you that I don’t want to do this anymore?” he’s not asking to leave his role as a spy and move to Australia. He’s talking about ending his life. The pain, the suffering- he’s so worn down by the depression and the sheer utter shithole of his life that he just wants it to STOP FOREVER. He doesn’t have any hope.  He’s just a ball of spite and rage and bitterness that has grown so accustomed to surviving in the hellish landscape of his life that he doesn’t even really remember the reason he does it except when Dumbledore forces him to because all he wants is for it to END.

Sometimes I wonder if JKR really killed him off for the drama of it, or if she really just granted his dearest wish.
