Snape: 9, 13, and 17 for the character asks!
oooh interesting set of questions. :)
9. Scene that first made me love (or hate) the character (in canon)
one thing that i have to be clear about is i've read all the books only once, and that was as a child/teen/young adult as they were coming out. but even then, i had immediately liked snape because he was so intriguing, funny, and reminded me of my own tough-as-rocks teachers, whom i loved and hated with equal measure. he got my attention in PS when he had that dramatic spiel (and his own chapter to boot), but what really cemented my love for him was his line in CoS when he sneaked up on ron and harry as they were sneaking in. i thought it was a brilliant scene and was thrilled to bits reading it. the man had excellent comedic timing.
13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done (in canon)
i don't know why this is the scene i'm thinking about but it's the one where he attempted to outrun the hippogriff in HBP. what was my man thinking doing that. did he think he was jesus? was it the ptsd boosting his fight or flight mode? he could have very well been killed at that moment and the entire plot derailed. (and wouldn't that have been something, given that dumbledore had literally asked to be euthanized just to get it moving).
17. Quotes, songs, poems, etc. that I associate with them
a lot of the web weavings and poems/quotes/etc i reblog are actually severus-associated! ahaha i just don't tag them, but here's a little something (pls forgive me for not sourcing them :') ):
I drink to the house, already destroyed,
And my whole life, too awful to tell,
To the loneliness we together enjoyed,
I drink to you as well,
To the eyes with deadly cold imbued,
To the lips that betrayed me with a lie,
To the world for being cruel and rude,
To God who didn't save us, or try.
the last toast (1934, anna akhmatova. tr. lyn coffin)

‘why would zuko do that’ he is sixteen years old. ‘i don’t understand zuko’ are you or have you been sixteen years old. ‘zuko just makes bad decisions’ he is sixteen years old. ‘zuko burned down kyoshi island’ he’s literally sixteen years old. ‘zuko kidnapped a twelve year old and dragged him through the snow for hours’ yeah sure but he was sixteen years old. ‘zuko hired an assassin to capture aang, and said assassin went rogue and attempted to kill everyone’ yeah well he’s not good at critical thinking. he’s sixteen years old
