this scene hits differently when you know the books,Snape has spent years protecting Harry because Harry is Lily’s son,only to discover that Harry must eventually die and that Voldemort himself must be the one to do it. Dumbledore asks if he has grown to care for the boy and Snape answers with the one thing that explains his entire life: “Expecto Patronum.” The silver doe appears the same Patronus as Lily’s. Dumbledore finally understands: “After all this time?” Always.” and then comes the detail that makes the scene even more heartbreaking,Snape’s love for Lily never disappeared,but neither did his sense of duty he knows Harry has to die,and yet he continues protecting him anyway. in the book,that contradiction is brutal,Snape has spied,lied,endangered himself and accepted being hated by everyone,while Harry never even knows why he isn’t protecting Harry because he suddenly loves Harry,he’s protecting Lily’s son because he promised her and by the end,that promise costs him everything and that’s why “Always” isn’t just a romantic line,it’s the key to understanding Snape’s entire story.🥹 #HarryPotter

this scene is so emotionally and psychologically layered. the fact that he found genuine happiness in the backrooms, a place everyone else would consider a nightmare, says so much about how deeply disconnected he was from the life he had before. he wasn't just lost in the backrooms, he had finally found somewhere he felt at peace. #Backrooms
