 Re: Dumbledore And Snapes Secret
Severus/Lily I am comfortable with because I can see it from the Marauder-era timeline, in which it makes a great deal more sense than when viewed from Harry's perspective. In addition, I felt this pairing, even one-sided, was alluded to throughout the series- here is proof. Decently accurate prediction from 2005, and that certainly wasn't the earliest the idea was out there.
Yes, in real life it may be unrealistic, but then who of the major characters, especially Dumbledore, Harry, Tom, could really be considered realistic? If JKR had tried to pin a 20 year love on any other character, it would have "creepy" and "patchetic" but really, that love, however obsesssive, is part of Severus' character.
Heis...ah, who is it again....? Oh, Heathcliff, from Wutherinng Heights by Emily Bronte. Severus is the HP version of Heathcliff as far as love goes, although I would say he is, at least, less violent. |
