Especially with regards to Dumbledore practically knocking Harry over after his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire

The Alohomora Podcast thinks this is the greatest cinematic crime against Harry Potter. I don't see the big deal. Dumbledore only wants Harry in mortal peril when he puts him there.

Friendly reminder that snape didn't love lily he was psychotically obsesses over her and the entire foundation of the series is based on a lie.

Snape grew up a friend of Lily's. Sure he eventually grew into a huge Jerk over his years at Hogwarts and subsequent years as a deatheater, but he still had his love of Lily that had grown for years. The moment Lily is threatened Snape throws away all of his friends, power, etc to run to Dumbledore, prostrate himself at his feet, and beg to save her. Not to mention that Snape's love of Lily is why he begged Voldemort to spare her before running to Dumbledore, and that request is what caused Voldemort to pause long enough for Lily to choose to die for her son. Personally I think Snape's love for Lily was also part of the love protecting Harry throughout the series.

Sure he may have idealized her in the years after her death. He risked everything for that memory though, says alot about the guy. Still a selfish Jerk.

It says he's a gross obsessive freak who would fit right in at an incel convention. It's a common literary trope that Rowling is dealing in, but they don't reflect the darkness of reality

It's really important to remember that he was ok with her kid dying. That's not love, any way you shape it
