Severus was a very good man. His problems imo all stem from his early childhood. Children learn kindness, how to relate to others and empathy from their parents, and Severus unfortunately was not taught that. He was a neglected child and his main male role model was not a pleasant person. As a consequence he floundered and struggled through most of his adolescence and early adulthood. However in the end as Dumbledore said “It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far 더 많이 than our abilities.” Severus chose to try to save Lily, he chose to become a spy for the order, he chose to protect Harry after Lily died, he chose to 가입하기 the Order, he chose to save Draco's soul, he chose to be loyal to Dumbledore, he chose to become one of the most hated people in order to continue helping Harry, he chose to protect the students at Hogwarts even though they all hated him and made his job difficult, he chose to spend his last moments in life helping Harry. I don't think he knew how to be nice so he tried to emulate Lily, he did what he thought she would have wanted.

Also how he was treated in school too. I know that didn't help.

Neither, he wasn't really a bad guy, but not really a good guy either. Yes he betrayed Voldemort and acted on Dumbledore's orders, but I also doubt he would have changed sides if Voldemort hadn't killed Lily. He's kind of self-serving.

“But this all focuses on what Snape did for Lily, on his loving her. The 질문 then is, does simply loving someone make a person inherently 'good”. That's part of another argument. We're first trying to establish weather he was self-serving 또는 not. His 사랑 for Lily as well as the actions he took to try to save her are but one example of his selflessness. Following Dumbledore's order to kill him and in the process possibly dooming his own soul was one of the most selfless things anyone could have done – here he's risking literally everything. And he didn't do that for Lily as his focus was no longer in protecting Harry for her since he knew Harry had to die. He was angry with Dumbledore for deceiving him about Harry's fate, about asking him to kill him and for keeping him in the dark about about certain aspects of his plan, yet he still followed Dumbledore's orders to the end. He put aside his personal feelings and did what needed to be done to help defeat Voldemort.

No one is inherently just good 또는 bad. We all have the capacity within us to be either. Loving Lily was simply the proof that he also had goodness in him. His choices and actions after he 1st visited Dumbledore is what marks him as a good and courageous person. He was good and he did a lot of good things for the Wizarding community, he just wasn't very personable 또는 nice to people he didn't like.

사무용 겉옷, 전반적인 I still think Snape was pretty much a bad guy. Not in the sense of the bad guy vs. the good guy 또는 the Order of the Phoenix vs. subscribers to the Dark Arts.
Rather, I just think he wasn't a nice guy - if it hadn't been for Lily he probably would have stayed with Voldemort and all of the double agent stuff wouldn't have taken place.

However, it really depends on how 당신 judge a person. To quote Dumbledore - "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far 더 많이 than our abilities."
Though abilities aren't the thing in question, it is 더 많이 the beginning of the quote that has meaning here. If 당신 subscribe to this way of thinking then Snape was indeed good.

So, how do 당신 define a person? 의해 their actions 또는 their beliefs?

This is why I 사랑 Snape; he is one of the most dynamic and interesting characters in the story.

He definitely wasn't a nice man and that's one of the reasons I'm attracted to his character so much :) But he wasn't evil, he just made some very poor choices in his life.

I definitely agree that he was not evil. He had a messed up childhood and was bullied throughout his school life - I don't blame him for hating people!

He never turned against the Death Eaters for revenge though. He went against Voldemort and the Death eaters 1st purely to save Lily. He didn't care what he had to do to protect her, he even agreed to also help James who he hated and Harry who he didn't really care much about. After Lily died, he no longer cared about anything else, he just wanted to die. Dumbledore then told him if he wanted Lily's sacrifice to be worth something then he should protect Harry. Snape thought about it and agreed to take on that responsibility. That's why he got so angry with Dumbledore when he found out Dumbledore meant for Harry to die all along.

I consider Snape to play both sides, but I think deep down he's a good guy. He just has to play the bad side because otherwise it would result in his death. That's just my opinion, though.

Severus Snape definitely wasn't a nice man, but he wasn't evil. He was so complicated and so misterious that it is really impossible to tell who he really was, but I do know that deep inside, he was a good man who loved so deeply he died for that love. Though we was mean, petty, sarcastic and unnecessary cruel, but since he wasn't running in any popularity pageant, I don't really care about that :)

Yeah, he was only mean to Harry because of his dad, which is really judgmental and unnecessarily weird.

He wasn't mean to Harry just because of his dad, he was mean to Harry because he looked like his dad and apparentally acted a bit like him to. 'Strutting' as Snape said.

Maybe he wasn't exactly the best person in this world, but he was so so so so 메리다와 마법의 숲 and noble! I believe in 초 chances and Snape was just..AWESOME!
He's definitely one of the greatest characters ever! And Alan Rickman has done a really good job with him:)

Regardless how he treated Harry. Harry couldn't have done what he did without Snape. I say what he did was 메리다와 마법의 숲 and selfless in the end. I would have never even lifted a finger if I were him, given how he was treated pretty much all his life. He did make some bad choices in his past, but what he did in the end made up for it a million times over and infinity.

Snape was definatly cruel to the Hogwarts students at times. In the end he protected the students and was probably the best double agent whoever lived. He also protected Harry in the first book/movie from Professor Quirrel (I can't spell his name). So I believe that Snape was the good guy.

I believe him to be good. Once he realized his faults, he dedicated the rest of his life (literally) to owning up to them and trying to fix them. It was his 사랑 that ultimately led to his better choices, the 사랑 that no true Death Eater possessed.

Definitely good.

Of course it's been years since I read the 책 but I don't recall him ever doing anything particularly useful for the bad guys and against the good guys.

He tried to spare Lily, protected Harry from the get-go, was a double-agent for Dumblefore never really against him, and even when he worked for Voldemort's good he did it in order to save a boy's life - as in for Draco's sake.

I think it's screamingly obvious he was meant as one of the good guys. :)

but he killed dumbledore..
alisonfaith297 posted over a year ago

Unless I remember horribly wrong, he did it because Dumbledore asked him to. So that doesn't make Snape a bad guy. Even though the deed was for Voldemort's benefit. This relates to protecting Draco. Dumbledore knew all along that Draco had been ordered to kill him (Dumbledore) so Dumbledore asked Snape to do it instead, and Snape did. That labels Snape a good guy in my books. Especially as Dumbledore was probably dying anyway.

I honestly believe that Severus Snape was 더 많이 good than bad, although one might consider him kind of in the middle. His story was one of 사랑 and loss and heartache. His 사랑 for Harry's mother is what I believe pushed him to help Harry along... it definitely wasn't that he liked Harry, because I do believe that the boy bugged him half to death. However, he definitely wasn't Team Voldemort, which was good xD
