IIRC, Lupin was still pretty cagey about talking about what they did.If it came from Sirius, I would agree. But Lupin was the one that said it, and Lupin was pretty upfront about his behavior in school. Lilly also mentions to Snape how the people he hangs around with are always cursing people, and Snape shrugs it off as "just joking"
And again, in the end, James grew up.
Cop or a Jock
Heaven forbid we pay off the running theme of the DADA being cursed by having someone who was damn good at teaching take the position and stabilize it in a time of peace...
A fucking cop
Jesus.
Wow, it really is a pretty disappointing outcome when you put it like that. Rowling really didn't give the characters a lot of options once they graduated. You either took a vaguely define government job, became a pro athlete, or taught at the same school you went to as a kid. At least the teacher job would have been thematically interesting.
Snape was a racist asshole to Lily's sister before any of them went to Hogwarts. But he was in love with Lily because Lily (unlike her sister) was racist-approved, despite her filthy Muggle heritage.
Lily was sorted into Team Gryffindor before either James or Snape (alphabetically, it went Evans > Potter > Snape), and when James was sorted into Team Gryffindor, Snape got jealous because he he saw James making eyes at his waifu. And yet, that jealousy still wasn't enough to get Snape to turn away from Team Slytherin, because Slytherin is the house that aligns with all of his racist ideals. Racism was more important to Snape than love, despite his incel whining about his unrequited love being the most important thing in the world.
James Potter made friends with Sirius Black, a kid who was thrown out of his house for rejecting racism, and let Sirius stay with him. James Potter learned how to become an animal in order to bridge the gap between himself and a kid who was afflicted with lycanthropy.
James and Lily became matching animals because they loved each other. They developed matching Patronuses because they loved each other. Snape made a copy of Lily's Patronus because he's an unhinged stalker.
Lily regularly stood up for Snape, despite everything Snape did and everyone telling Lily that Snape was trash. Until finally one day she took Snape's side after losing a fight with James, and Snape couldn't handle her pity, so he attacked her by revealing that he's disgusted by her Muggle heritage.
Snape went on to become a literal Wizard Nazi, and was fine with killing and torturing people, until the bridge too far was a threat against his unrequited waifu.
Snape is and always was 100% worse than James Potter. Doesn't matter if James kinda had some rough edges as a kid.
she didn't leave him. she was never with him. he was infatuated with her and she saw him as a friend. she then got a boyfriend. end of story.and had his childhood love interest leave him for the cool kid.
This. The asshole is the worst but the incel is not much better.
For the new pageBecause nazis start shit and then have a victim complex about people not letting them get away with it all the damn time. Victimhood is kind of the nazi MO. Motherfucker hangs out with a group that hangs around cursing people as "jokes" and when literally hoist by his own petard (because, again, Levicorpus is his curse. He invented it), goes crying about how he's the fucking victim.
Hogwarts is kinda fucked up in general.I mean Snape became the wizard equivalent of a Nazi, so I think that makes him worse by far. But, some of the blame has to go to the school that basically stood by and watched the entire Syltherin house become a Nazi clubhouse. At some point they should have started cracking down on that.
Because some people apparently have opinions like this:Snape was a wizard nazi and James was a bully. How is James winning the poll right now.
This. The asshole is the worst but the incel is not much better.
More than 10 years since the last time I read Harry Potter, but from what I remember Syltherin being equal to Nazis seems like a big stretch. I may be wrong though.
I mean, I'd argue you're wrong in terms of Snape's generation of Slytherin who all went on to be Death Eaters, but I more take issue with the notion that an "asshole" is worse than an "incel bigot" whether or not that incel bigot is a nazi.More than 15 year since the last time I read Harry Potter, but from what I remember Syltherin being equal no Nazis seems like a big stretch. I may be wrong though.
I just couldn't believe the stupid epilogue where she went and then he became a cop, I literally assumed he was going to be the DADA Teacher because the instability of the position was such a prominent feature of the the entire series and she went out of her way to make it clear Harry was actually good at teaching....Wow, it really is a pretty disappointing outcome when you put it like that.

Hey. Slughorn came back.JK Rowling literally went out of her way to say that not a single Slytherin stayed to fight against Voldemort, and either went home or joined him.

Yeah they literally are the House of Nazis and cowards.
But but Merlin

Then JK had to go oh shit and say uh uh uh wait the students that came with Slughorn... they were Slytherin it just didn't say that in the book because.... Hey look over there Pottermore shop discounts!
Half i think.
...There's something kind of ironic about this being posted on 4chan.
Snape didn't just "go on" to become a Death Eater, Snape (and all of Snape's "friends" who Lily had a problem with) was a "Death Eater" in the service of Lord Voldemort, while he was still in school. Young Snape literally joined the Hitler Youth.I mean, I'd argue you're wrong in terms of Snape's generation of Slytherin who all went on to be Death Eaters, but I more take issue with the notion that an "asshole" is worse than an "incel bigot" whether or not that incel bigot is a nazi.
It also doesn't help many like myself haven't read the books since our childhood so all we really got was the scenes in the film of James bullying Snape and snape crying over lily's body. I genuinely could not remember that Snape did in fact join the magic Nazis besides the period he was acting as Dumbledores spy.Honestly part of the problem is JK decided to give us the most direct glimpse of James through Snape, the good stuff he did is only told not shown to us....
Because you know JK gonna JK
I honestly came to the opposite conclusion: The Harry Potter universe feels incredibly small and limited. The wizarding world simultaneously is too divorced from our own while being too similar to spark the imagination. All those possibilities don't really amount to much beyond "'magic exists".Honestly it's such a shame JK wasn't able to do much with the universe. It's a world with possibilities so rich to be expanded on that is locked down by someone who isn't able to do much with it. Her attempt at expanding the world with Potter more were laughable at best, and the fantastic beasts movies is just sad. All she had to do was make the plot of the movies about exploring the magical world, seeing different countries, seeing the creatures, expanding the universe but nope. Nazi cool Anime special effects battle time.

They both suck and Lily ending up with James does not speak highly of her judgement.
That said, I kinda love that Harry Potter's family isn't made up of saints like they're made out to be.
WOOPS
There is not.Is there evidence that James was a jerk to anyone else besides Snape? It's been forever since I read the books.
Given that there's already a murder spell that is better in almost every way than Sectumsempra, and that the only want Sectumsempra is better is if you want your target to suffer before dying, he 100% invented it to maim.So Snape sulked off and created his new spell, "Sectumsempra", which was basically a laceration shotgun that was entirely capable of permanently maiming or even killing people (George Weasley's ear can never grow back, not even with magic).
