Not every Slytherin student left the Great Hall that night….

A group comprised of underaged Slytherin students, who secretly allied themselves with Susan Bones outside of Dumbledore’s Army during the Second Wizarding War. They later fought in the Battle of Hogwarts on 2, May 1998. It is unknown if they survived the battle.

“As I said before we Slytherins are brave but not stupid, if given the choice, we will always choose to save our own necks.” 

Yes our emblem is the serpent but we are not you! We are the cunning, the ambitious, the clever and determined and we will fight!

tbh the only evidence i need that harry’s a gryffindor is the fact that he kept going back to the forbidden forest after voldemort tried to kill him, aragog tried to eat him, lupin turned into a wolf and attacked him, the dementors tried to kiss him, barty crouch was murdered and turned into a bone, umbridge was kidnapped by centaurs,, boy had to die in that forest before he stopped going back

we have no evidence he stopped

Harry James Potter, deep in the forbidden forrest, fully aware of the centaur archers watch on him, followed by a string of spiders, the ghosts of death eaters killed in the battle of hogwarts circling his head as they wail for his blood: lovely day for a picnic

replied to your post “It’s amazing how many people seem to be able to forgive Snape for…”

But the difference is that Snape bullied children in his adulthood – he may have changed his allegiance but not his opinions or disgusting behavior. For Regulus – he was still a kid when he died, and we’ll never know what he was like exactly nor what he would have been like as an adult.

I couldn’t agree more!

But Regulus didn’t do anything to actually help win the war. And he joined the Death Eaters too, and looking at his family, he probably threw the Mudblood slur around all the time. Severus, while remaining a complete asshole, turned his life around and gave his life to fight Voldemort in possibly the most dangerous position as spy. He IS the Slytherin hero! At some point, these posts are disregard of factual canon. (And Snape isn’t responsible for Sirius’ death, jfc.)

“But Regulus didn’t do anything to actually help win the war.” Maybe not, but it is his intention that matters here. How was he to know that the locket would remain intact for decades after his death? How was he to know that Dumbledore and Harry would come looking for the locket? He couldn’t know any of that! All he knew was that Voldemort had made a Horcrux, and that it needed to be destroyed. He knew someone needed to step up and take action and that is what he did. I don’t think we should disregard his sacrifice simply because it didn’t help in the long run.

“And he joined the Death Eaters too, and looking at his family, he probably threw the Mudblood slur around all the time.” Yes, but he changed his mind. Why does everyone always seem to ignore that fact? People changed! People grow! I don’t think we should hold Regulus’ past against him when in the end he did the most heroic thing possible. And he was only able to do it because he had been a Death Eater. (He would never have even found out about the locket if he hadn’t been close to Voldemort)

“Severus, while remaining a complete asshole, turned his life around and gave his life to fight Voldemort in possibly the most dangerous position as spy.” While I don’t disagree with any of this, I have to point out that the only reason Snape “turned his life around and gave his life to fight Voldemort” was because Voldemort killed Lily and not because he realized, like Regulus did, that Voldemort was going too far and needed to be stopped. Do you think he would have changed sides if Voldemort had thought that Neville was the one the prophecy spoke about? Would he have cared so much if Alice Longbottom had died instead of Lily Potter? Nope. He only changed sides because the woman he loved was targeted and not because it was the right thing to do. In fact, it was quite clear that he still loved the Dark Arts. IMO his whole view point about blood superiority doesn’t seem to have changed at all. He wasn’t fighting Voldemort to stop him. He was fighting Voldemort to avenge Lily’s death.
