And that was... How many years later? So uh. Sorry. That just reflects poorly on James by that point.

[(Anonymous)]

Barring the fact that there's no indication whatsoever of James's feelings on the matter past "Lily thought he grew up finally" and "he fought against Voldemort instead of joining up", how does a hypothetical negative feeling about Snape's shitty allegiance reflect poorly on James?

[(Anonymous)]

Because there's no suggestion he ever actually felt bad for being a bully in his childhood, and given that a lot of bullies grow up and... Don't really feel sorry about what they did and brush it off as, "I was a kid then, I'm different now" reflects poorly on James because he was the bully as a kid.

It doesn't mean jack shit to Snape's allegiance other than retroactively "justifying" it.

[(Anonymous)]

There's literally no suggestion that he DIDN'T feel bad, either. As anon at the top of this thread pointed out, he died young (protecting others and standing against Voldemort). We have no indication either way. Assuming that he never felt bad about it is just bad faith.

'He fought against Voldemort instead of joining up'

Kind of a low bar for James, tbh.

K so. Just thinking out loud.

You don't get on with this kid because you think he's a POS. You're like 11 and kids are dramatic. That's normal.

He likes the same girl you do so you do dumb boy stuff to each other that escalates because it's a bad idea to give teenagers unlimited magical powers and minimal supervision.

He eventually says racist shit to the girl you like.

He joins up with a group of baby racists while you're still in school together.

After school he stays with them and they do worse shit like actual torture and murder.

You and your wife join up with the opposing side in what is now a goddamn war.

His friend kills you both on his way to kill your baby.

He cries about your wife but that does shit all and you don't see it because you're already dead.


I'm sorry but when was James supposed to think he was wrong to hate the heck out of Snape?

[(Anonymous)]

After his death obviously. Like when Snape is bullying Harry and other kids like Neville and Hermione! Wait... When he's all to happy to let Sirius get punished for a crime he didn't commit! Er... When he outs Lupin as a werewolf! Oh goddammit.

I like Snape, I'm not too found of teen!James, but to reduce things to "James the Mean Bully and Snape the Innocent Victim" is simplifying it way too much.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah that's my take on it too.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd argue that outing Lupin wasn't necessarily bad. He did it out of spite, which is shitty; but Lupin had by then risked everyone at the school's lives by flaking on his potion, so...
