Humble Heroes - Feelings of Reading Harry Potter

"Kill me! You coward -" Harry yelled at Snape angrily.

"No -" Snape's face suddenly became crazy and barbaric, as if his pain was as much as the arrogant dog in the burning house behind him. "Do not call me a coward -"

- From "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

I believe that many readers still remember his greasy hair, the mean words, and the phrase "Lookatme!"

It’s so clear, it’s as if it’s in my mind.

"Harry Potter" has shaped too many classic characters, not only the protagonist and his friends, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Sirius... Even a small domestic elf, more than a mere, is memorable.

Snape is one of the most controversial characters.

Indifference, gloom, selfishness, and loneliness.

Affection, forbearance, wisdom, pride.

He is synonymous with evil, but also a hero that is not understood by humans. More precisely, it is a double-faced spy!

On the one hand, he served as a Death Eater for the Dark Lord; on the other hand, he is an important member of the Order of the Phoenix.

The Death Eaters thought he was a spy of Voldemort at Hogwarts, and members of the Order of the Phoenix thought he was the eyeliner that Dumbledore had placed around Voldemort.

In the face of Voldemort, he carefully concealed his emotions, fearing exposure.

With his eyes hollow, he insisted on it with only one attachment.

Is he a loyal servant of Voldemort?

Maybe it used to be, but definitely not now.

He never cares about the death and death of the Death Eaters, he never used them as companions.

Snape, Snape who calls himself a "hybrid prince", will not be a servant of anyone.

Is he the heart of Dumbledore?

Nor is it.

He hates the identity of his own members of the Order of the Phoenix and rejects Gryffindor.

Snape, just to Lily who was taken to life by Voldemort, and to protect Lily's child - his hateful porter.

After Lily’s death, Snape started a spy and sneaked into the enemy’s interior, completing the mission without fear of danger.

From here, he is a brave and loyal person.

At the same time, people who are not flexible enough and who are not sensitive enough are not qualified for the job. Snape did a perfect job.

Not to mention his magical accomplishments, just these are enough to be called heroes.

And I still have to give him a negative evaluation: humble.

He grew up in a fragmented family, and his origins were inherently inferior.

He humbled a woman, and in front of love, he was a coward, not all.

After Voldemort killed Lily, Snape was still awe and even feared, and the humbleness in the face of him was also from the heart.

As he grew up, he matured, but he was always such a jealous person.

Just like the fragment of the opening excerpt, he still has no courage to admit that he is a coward.

In the second half of his life, he struggled in contradictions, good and evil, love and hate.

He has many advantages and shortcomings can not be ignored.

Therefore, he is controversial, people can not say how great he is, can not say how abominable he is.

In the end, there is only one evaluation that is quite moderate: no great hero.

Too lonely, too complicated.

His experience is a sigh, but isn’t it self-sufficient?

His life has been humiliating and he has become a humble hero.

After his death, all the truth was revealed. What is the honor that people give? What is the point? What is the value of these boring compliments for Snape? He just wants that feeling...

He is unfortunate, and I can't say whether he is the poorest in the whole book.

Everyone has their own pity, and Professor Snape’s this is heartbreaking.

I can only remember you deeply, dear professor.
