You have poor reading comprehension.

If Snape wanted Harry dead he wouldn't have spent the rest of his life protecting him.

I think you might be the one with poor reading comprehension. The secret said that Snape should be dead instead of Lily (which is true; he did beg Dumbledore to sell out James and Harry to save Lily after all) not that he wished that Harry would die during the series itself

*Snape thinks Harry should be dead instead of Lily

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Except that he never did.

So again, reading comprehension fail.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
....what? It's pretty obvious that Snape would much rather have Lily alive than Harry (again, he was perfectly willing to sell Harry out to Voldemort, meaning certain death for him, if it meant that he could keep Lily safe).

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That he was desperate to bargain with Voldemort to spare Lily is one thing.

That "I hate Harry because he should have died" is another.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-11 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
No, he bargained to keep Lily alive. At the cost of Harry and James's deaths.

Read the book again.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
He hates Harry for being alive. That's not the same thing as wanting to kill him.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
He hated Harry because he reminded him of James.

At no point in the series even when Snape was pissed off did he ever say anything to the equivalent of "I wish you were dead".

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
da

The secret didn't say that Snape just flat out wished Harry was dead, it says that he wishes Harry were dead instead of Lily. There's a distinction there, an exchange.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, and it's undeniable. Snape wanted Voldemort to spare Lily but didn't care about Harry or James. So it's clear he'd be happy to have Harry die in exchange for Lily living.

(Anonymous) 2015-01-11 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
DA

Chiming in to say I agree, Snape would gladly set Harry on fire if it meant that he would have Lily back alive again. I don't get how this is even arguable.

(It's just gross, though, because the first thing she'd do on getting back would be to decapitate him for this, but what do you do?)

(Anonymous) 2015-01-11 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, he was able to dismiss Harry as unworthy of Lily's sacrifice because he reminded him of James (except for when Harry was pissed off enough to meet his eyes and glare at him). Even when he was still playing magical nazi for real, Snape never could wrap his mind around the fact that Harry wasn't only James' kid. Otherwise, he'd have realized that "spare Lily and kill the other two" wasn't going to solve his Lily hating him problem.
