(Most of them are bashing) Professor Severus "Snivellus" Tobias Snape aka Half-Blood Prince Do you know what pisses me off? How Snape is always being portrayed as a hero. He's NOT!! So what if Snape was bullied by the Marauders? Lots of people are bullied in school, that doesn't mean they all turn into terrorists, and sure what the Marauders did was cruel but that isn't an excuse for wishing that James and Harry (just a baby, not even two yet, I might add!) dead. I mean in his memories he specifically said that he wished Harry had died instead of Lily. He was perfectly happy to sacrifice an innocent baby. He then begged for Lily's life to both Dumbledore and Voldemort in exchange for Harry's. As if she'd ever be happy with him after her son was killed because of him! And people think of him as a hero? He clung to his bitterness over how he was treated by James for over a decade and took it out on Harry. Not to mention Snape attacked Petunia and stole her mail when he was younger, that's bullying as well, it's no wonder she hated magic so much considering the facts. And he didn't turn his back on the Death Eaters because he disagreed with them, he did it because of his obsession with Lily Potter née Evans. None of that is the actions of a hero. I hate those stories that make him all kind and have him being a mentor or father figure to Harry. Looking at his actions during the books do you seriously believe he would love and raise Harry as his own? No, he wouldn't. Severus Snape is, to me, nothing more than a selfish man, too wrapped up in his own bitterness and perceived injustices committed towards him to care about anything other than himself. Another thing is, if Neville had been the Chosen One, Snape would have stayed a Death Eater, meaning Alice wouldn't have been able to sacrifice herself for Neville, Neville would have died and Voldemort taken over. Most people forgive him and adore him since DH came out, but I can't stand him! Before he realised that it was Lily who was in danger, he was perfectly happy to sacrifice an innocent baby. Once Harry started Hogwarts, Snape regularly made him look an idiot, hated him for no reason whatsoever, and also constantly insulted his dead father. There is a line you don't cross when it comes to dead relatives and Snape crossed it. And Dumbledore let Snape bully Harry! Even when Harry finds out that it was Snape who overheard the prophecy, Dumbledore doesn't apologise or take action. If there was a teacher like Snape at my school or in any school in Australia, they would have been fired almost instantly. Severus was, is, not a brave man. He was selfish, biased and bitter. The way he acted towards Hermione was unacceptable and totally unprofessional. Why was he so disrespectful towards her? Because she was an intelligent muggleborn from Gryffindor like Lily. Why did he loath Harry? Because he looked like an exact copy of James Potter, and he was therefore a pampered prince, never mind the fact that he was Lily’s son too, never mind the fact that he grew up in Petunia’s ‘care’, the same Petunia who hated her own sister for being different. Keeping the issue of Harry and Hermione, we have Neville Longbottom, the boy who was chucked out a window because the wanted him to perform accidental magic, and he did, he bounced off, but what if he hadn’t… he was given his father wand, he was expected to be like his father, why? Yes it’s understandable that Augusta lost her son and wanted her grandson to honour him, but to thrust such expectations upon a little boy is not acceptable. Then Neville goes to Hogwarts and the expectations just keep rising and to meet a teacher ( should he even be called that) like Snape… If a student is not performing well teachers often adopt the method of tough love, but they don’t berate them for breathing wrong, a teacher shouldn’t become a child’s worst fear. And no he wasn’t protecting Harry, he was saving his own slimy arse, he had to vow this to Dumbledore so that he could be saved from Azkaban. Now to his hatred towards the marauders, he hated them with such a passion that it transformed into loathing anything and everything that's related to them. He is a person who cannot take a simple prank for what it is, and can’t get over the fact that a girl chose someone other than him, and then goes ahead and takes out his frustration and bitterness on countless children who weren’t even born. I don’t believe for a second that the memories Harry saw in the pensieve were real, the man is a skilled legilimens & occlumens, so it's easy for him to make fake memories, the marauders were not bullies, they pranked everyone from the students to the headmaster, but severus snape is too bitter to differentiate between bullying and harmless pranking. He manipulates Lily into seeing the marauders as self-centred, privileged prats… Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (Bashing) I am NOT a Dumbledore fan. Dumbledore is a manipulative jackass at best and at worst outright evil. In the first chapter alone he perpetrates at least two crimes: Removing Harry from the scene of a crime without the approval/knowledge of the appropriate authorities, and LEAVING A KID ON A DOORSTEP. There is also possibly a case for kidnapping, if Sirius was listed as Harry's guardian in the Potters' will. (And they must have had a will, being parents who knew they were being hunted in the middle of a war.) From there, it just gets worse. He knew Harry was abused, and did nothing. He kept Harry ignorant of vital information until it was too late for the information to do any good, if Harry found it out at all. He didn't ensure Sirius OR Hagrid got a trial, and he had the power to do so. He knew Voldemort had created Horcruxes by the end of Harry's second year at the latest, and did nothing about it until summer after *fifth* year. Dumbledore did absolutely nothing about the Chamber situation. He allowed Dementors around the school despite having the power to tell Fudge no. He put the Philosopher's Stone, which he suspected Voldemort was after, in a school full of children, behind traps an intelligent first year could get past. He somehow missed that someone he called a friend was being impersonated for an entire year. He let Draco remain in the school despite knowing Draco was assigned to kill him ... and kept catching innocents in his murder attempts. And this isn't even a complete list of his wrongdoings. These are not the actions of a good, kind, wise Leader of the Light. He IS NOT some wise and benevolent grandfatherly figure, he basically raised Harry like a pig for slaughter, for Merlin's sake. And that's without mentioning his whole 'second chance' routine. Like seriously dude, you're in a fucking WAR! The other side is made up of murders, rapists and torturers, they're TERRORISTS for Merlin's sake! And all through both wars, there was Dumbledore preaching about second, third and more chances and using stunners against the people trying to murder them. If he hadn't not been so holier-than-thou and secretive, a whole lot more people would have survived. Ronald "Ron" Weasley (Bashing and Not) Bashing: Ron did little else but treat Hermione like crap for seven books. He stomped all over her, resented the hell out of her for her smarts, and in general was an immature asshole for seven books. He constantly sulked about the fact that he wasn't rich and twice he let his jealousy take over and abandoned his supposed 'best friend' when Harry needed him most. No Bashing: At the same time, Ron was a very loyal friend, much better than Hermione too at times. He was a great strategist and great fountain of knowledge of common Wixen traditions. He also balanced the other two out by being the comic relief too. Hermione Granger (Bashing) Not that Hermione was much better, being a stuck-up know-it-all book-and-authority worshipper for most of seven books. She seemed to think that she was the only one in existence with a brain, and the only one who could make the right decisions at all times, and bossed both boys horribly. The way she acted annoyed me so much, to Hermione, if it's written in a book it's true, if she hasn't read about it can't possibly be real. Not to mention the blinders she has on regarding teachers and authority figures, I mean actions aside, whether Dumbledore was a good man or not, he was still, just a man, he made mistakes, but to Hermione, (and most of the Wizarding World,) because he was the guy who defeated Grindelwald, he could do no wrong. Mrs Margaret "Molly" Lucretia Weasley nee Prewett (Bashing) Molly Weasley is smothering, favours Percy and Ginny so much it's cruel to them, her manners towards Sirius in OotP was absolutely appalling, and frankly she shouldn't have treated Harry that way. Lily and James never even met the Weasleys as far as we know, so Molly claiming that she was the closest thing Harry had to a parent, and that Sirius only thought about Harry as his chance to have James back, especially when Sirius opened his home to her and her family, was just plain wrong. Professor Remus "Moony" John Lupin (Bashing and Not) Bashing: Remus was an asshole in DH by leaving Tonks, rather self-pitying about being a werewolf, way too Dumbledore worshipping, and there's no excuse for him never even trying to locate Harry or reaching out to him after he returned to the Wizarding World or even when Remus was teaching, neither is the fact that he was so willing to believe Sirius, (supposedly one of his best friends, who became an illegal Animagus to help him) was the traitor. I mean seriously why didn't anyone even consider the Imperious Curse or something? Sirius apparently spent most of his life fiercely arguing against the Dark Arts but was still tossed in Azkaban for nothing. No Bashing: Remus Lupin goes through hell and back. The human anatomy is very different from a wolf’s anatomy, so every month when the full moon rises, Remus Lupin goes through unimaginable pain as his body rearranges itself to become Moony. He still smiles and laughs, is compassionate, kind and carries around chocolate in his pockets in case he encounters a homesick firstie. James "Prongs" Charlus Potter (The No Bashing One) James Potter was not self-centred, he was a brilliant friend, loyal to a fault and fiercely protective. He was the mother hen of the marauders, he wanted his friends to feel safe and protected and loved even if the whole world was against it. He desperately wanted to give his wife a chance to escape with their son, he ran to face Voldemort in the hope that they could live. Sirius "Padfoot" Orion Black (Another No Bashing One) As for Sirius, well, he is insanely loyal and protective. Sirius bloody well broke out of Azkaban in an effort to protect Harry (yes, and to exact vengeance, but it was the fact that Pettigrew was at Hogwarts with HARRY that got his arse moving). He lived on the run for two years, one of them spent largely in a cave, eating rats, the other in a house he hated that was soaked in dark magic. He was willing to drop everything again and run to protect Harry when Harry headed for the Ministry ... he was one of only two non-Ministry Order folks there, as I recall (the others being Remus, Tonks, Moody, Kingsley, and Dumbledore - Which just proves that Molly isn't worthy to be Harry's substitute parent or an actual parent as Ron and Ginny were there as well!). Sirius Black was not privileged, his family practically abandoned him the day he was sorted to Gryffindor and called him a blood-traitor, he received regular letters from his dear mother that made his hands tremble. His father just doesn’t care and now his little Reggie hates him too because that woman is keeping constant vigilance on him and for every little mistake he gets berated and punished. All this while just slightly off his rocker from twelve years of hell, and in poor health. Sirius was awesome and I will never forgive J.K. Rowling for killing him off. (These are given from information from the books and fanfiction may have changed my opinion slightly but not much!) ARGO II PUNS Percy: Boy, there sure is something fishy going on around here. "One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class who was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. "'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? I thought to myself. He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I just shrugged my shoulders and went on. "As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. "So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." "He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" "There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. "We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends, and he said yes. We hung out all weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same. "Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscle with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed, and handed me half the books. "Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. "I knew that we would always be friends, and that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation, and I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. "Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Sometimes, I was even jealous! "Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!' He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. 'Thanks,' he said. "As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began, "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach . . . but mostly your friends . . . I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." "I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later, and was carrying his stuff home. "He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. "I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realise its depth." Never underestimate the power of your actions.

A girl and guy were speeding over 100mph on a motorcycle Girl: Slow down, I'm scared! Guy: No, this is fun. Girl: No, it's not. Please, I'm scared. Guy: Then tell me you love me. Girl: I love you, now slow down! Guy: Now give me a big hug. She gives him a big hug Guy: Can you take off my helmet and put it on yourself, it's bothering me. In the newspaper the next day, a motorcycle had crashed into a building because of brake failure. Two people were on it and only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realised his break wasn't working but he didn't want the girl to know. Instead he had her hug him and tell him one last time that she loved him. Then he had her put on his helmet so that she would live even if he died. Copy this onto your profile if you would do the same thing for someone you love Girls This is true! |
