I had a really odd moment. I was reading fic and then I suddenly found myself wishing that there was some vague form of happiness for Severus Snape. I keep thinking about the first five years in the series and then this sixth year and it really kind of, well, sucks ARSE.

He just doesn't get a break, does he?

I KNOW! It's just... he can be a bastard all he likes but everyone needs some vague form of happiness. Even if it's just about being evil. If he at least wanted to kill Dumbledore (which he didn't OMG COME ON FANDOM DON'T BE STUPID!) he would have been slightly pleased afterwards. Now it's just dark. All around.

Oh, Severus.

I like the dark, honest, but sometimes I think Rowling is just wringing as much angst as she possibly can from him. I wouldn't be surprised if I went into hystronics at the end of book 7 because I just can't imagine it ending well for him... though I try, I try.

I know!! ;_; It's not fair. Lupin gets his happiness now, where's Snape's hmm? I really don't know that he ever will. I think he's a tragic figure through and through. Maybe he had some in his past though...

Maybe small moments during his school years? We know his childhood sucked, but did he have a friend during Hogwarts? Or was it all downhill? Especially from the moment he lost his trust in Dumbledore?

It makes me want to write Snape fic again...

And what if he is just an evil self-interested bastard who deserves to be miserable?

*teasing*

*g* You are so bad.

*snubs*

He's a bastard, I'll allow, but a self-interested bastard? Never! A self-interested bastard wouldn't work to become the enemy for the majority of the wizarding world.

Well, who does get a break in those books? ^^;

True, true. It might be biased of me think it, but sometimes I believe he really does have one of the hardest times in the book. It's like there's never been an extended period in his life where he actually, y'know, been happy. (though I suppose happiness is overrated)
