On a frosty night, in the dungeon of Hogwarts château dwelled a sarcastic, bat-like potions master par the name of Severus Snape.
Most of us here l’amour him, ou at the very least, like him. Though I know I liked him from the very beginning when his sarcasm began to show, I also know many of his dedicated fans hated him at that time - for bullying Harry.
But, we ask ourselves, why did his fans forgive and l’amour him? This question is rather simple and the answer is without a doubt. Because of his unconditional l’amour for Lily. And, we also ask ourselves, why do we find his l’amour for Lily touching? Because of how he loved her unconditionally, from beginning to end. Because of how he put down his life for her.
But in it, there is one vital thing we may have never thought about: his l’amour is unrequited. His unrequited l’amour is the main reason his l’amour story is so touching; the rest of his sacrifices for Lily merely support that fact.
Let me explain. What if Severus Snape was a tortured young boy who fell in l’amour with his best friend Lily? But what if Lily had fallen in l’amour with him as well? They would get together and marry and Severus Snape would likely never become a deatheater. He would rejoindre the Order and fight deatheaters and become a potions master. He would l’amour Lily no less than how he would have loved her if she'd married James, but would their l’amour story still be as touching? Severus Snape gets the woman he deserves, the end.
No. He wouldn't stand out in the story anymore. He wouldn't be a lonely, regretful man but a happy man with a family. Yes, we may still feel happy for him if he'd managed to stand out enough to attract our attention but we certainly wouldn't praise him so much; keeping him remembered in our hearts. The only reason we notice him is because his whole life had been suffering; tragic, and his l’amour was unrequited. His unrequited l’amour was backed up par the actions he took and the sacrifices he made for Lily, and finally he gave his life. Let's think: he sacrificed his life for the boy he hated for the woman he loved... who wouldn't be touched par such a tragedy?
Let's admit it, many of us here didn't like Severus Snape until he revealed his l’amour for Lily. After that, we immediately began to l’amour him. It seems to me the reason is quite clear. We feel sorry for him, feel sympathy. I believe JK Rowling killed Snape on purpose. If Snape had lived, his l’amour story again, wouldn't be as touching. Because we treasure life, we think that he'd donné his ultimate sacrifice par giving his life. Though it is a huge blow to us, it is necessary to make sure we are well and truly touched. Though it would have been much plus pleasant if he'd lived, we wouldn't remember him for as long because tragedies are what remains in our hearts the longest.
How JK Rowling portrayed his l’amour is truly admirable, partly because it doesn't exist in real life. It is very realistic but does not exist in rel life. Tell me, who do toi know has continued loving a person with such passion after they'd decided to marry someone else, after they'd died, after nearly twenty years. Those things only exist in fiction. But most authors portray that unsuccessfully, ou not as successfully.
Stephenie Meyer, for example, wrote about how Edward loved Bella and how Bella loved him back... so much that they'd give their lives for each other and die a thousand times. Sounds fake to me. And their l’amour is so perfect that at the end of the story, no one is in the least bit touched. JK Rowling made us shed tears at Severus's misfortune and sufferings. That is the mark of a truly great author.

1) Attempt to use Snape's oily hair to cook chips
2) Send Snape shampoo
3) Take pictures of himself while showering and then sell them to the female population of Hogwarts.
4) Give Remus a makeover while he is asleep.
5) Ask the potions professor whether the day's assignment can be used a sexual lubricant.
6) Sign his essays 'Seriously Sexy Sirius'.
7) Convince Remus that all the livres in the bibliothèque have been stolen and that it is closing down.
8) Tell First years that Filch is the Voice of God.
9)Tell people that it's Remus' Time of the mois when he tells First Years off for breathing too loudly.
10)Calling Lucius Malfoy "Luscious Mouthful" is just plain gross
11)I will not change the mot de passe to the prefects' bath to "Makes getting clean almost as much fun as getting dirty".

Hello! This is my first story. Enjoy.
I looked out at the water, making ripples with my hand. A magic school was on my way.
"Get back inside, your list's here!" my dad called from the house. He was the The God of the Sea, Poseidon.
I went back inside and picked up a paper, and it read:
Dear Percy Jackson,

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore
