Re: In Defense of Snape:
(Anonymous) 2008-10-22 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)He didn't rise above it. In fact, upon learning that the man who bullied him through school was around he lost his mind and he started shrieking at people because he simply couldn't handle the idea that he might have not been guilty. Instead of listening to the points that hey, Pettigrew was around, instead he wanted to give him over to Dementors, and when Sirius' innocence was proved he took to goading how he could walk around in free air to a man who he knew wasn't able to control himself because he could. He couldn't handle that Sirius got away so he took it out on Remus, who by all accounts, wasn't guilty of anything except being Sirius' best friend.
Further he torments an 11 year old boy because the boy looks like his father. I personally don't buy the cover identity business. He could have had a fine cover identity without hating Harry and lets face it, he did hate Harry.
I don't consider any of that "rising above it". In fact, I'd say he was quite well mired in it.
He's a complex character, yes. I won't disagree with that. But a good person bogged down by bad circumstances? I wouldn't say that.
Re: In Defense of Snape:
A) he was unconscious during the revelation of Peter. Anything from Sirius mouth couldn't be trusted, any criminal would have lied about it. And Sirius, of course, had always convinced his friends that he wasn't bad no matter how cruel his actions. It's part of Sirius' character flaws.
B) It wasn't about Sirius being a bully. It was because he believed Sirius was guilty (as did the Ministry & everyone else, until Sirius' death), he believed Sirius had befuddled Remus & Harry the way he had done to Remus & James all those years (from Severus' perspective, of course). Which means that he thought Sirius was the one who had betrayed LILY. That is why he was so unhinged by it. In catching Sirius, he was avenging Lily's death and bringing himself some closure. In Sirius' escape, he was losing his opportunity to avenge Lily, and her murderer (again, in his perspective) had escaped with the help of her supposed friends.
Notice that when he interacts with Sirius at later moments, he is not nearly so unhinged or threatening. He is as antagonistic as he is with everyone, and it escalates because Sirius responds with antagonism as well. Both of them feed into that relationship.
As for Remus, the mistakes he made that year in school were terrible! He could have killed Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Snape when he transformed on the school grounds because he had forgotten his potion. He also didn't give the authorities the very helpful information about Sirius being an animagus and the map that could help them catch him out of loyalty to Sirius, even when he also believed Sirius was a murderer and trying to kill Harry. The fact that Sirius was innocent doesn't change that Remus protected him even while thinking that Sirius was a murderer. That's enough reason for Remus to be axed, anyway. And Remus had to leave because he was the DADA teacher, the position is cursed. Severus told that Remus was a werewolf because he believes Remus to be dangerous (not just because of bias, also because of Remus' actions), and Harry & co assume it's because he hates Remus and only that.
