I have been analysing some of Snape’s scenes recently and when I was looking at his very first line in the books, I noticed something that I never really seem to see people point out.
“What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” - The Philosopher’s Stone, The Potions Master
We all know that this scene can be interpreted as “I bitterly regret Lily’s death” but let’s focus more on asphodel.
In the past, asphodel was said to be used as a remedy for venomous snake bites.
What was Snape killed by again? Ah yes, a venomous snake bite. His death was foreshadowed all the back in his very first line of dialogue.
Snape could’ve survived Nagini’s bite if he simply had some asphodel but…
His Lily died a long time ago.

I know the harry x Hermione ship is not liked by most, but i ship it, i don't have a dislike for harry x Ginny ship and i like ginny but i think Harry and Hermione would have been great together then with Ron and hermione. You may argue with me about it, we all have our dislikes and likes about ships.

Just a warning: There’s a panic attack. Also, there are bright and dark colors so eyestrain beware. The first image is a gif, and there’s a slight jitter so eyestrain warning x2. Please be safe and don’t read more if any of these will bother you.

I have a lot of feelings about this scene. Because from Harry's POV at this point obviously Snape is the mean bully who's always picked on him for no reason and it's gratifying to see Sirius standing up to him and putting him in his place. And at this point in the story that's kind of what we as readers see too. BUT with the additional knowledge we gain about Snape throughout the rest of the story this hits so different.
Think about Snape, who spent years being tormented and humiliated by Sirius and who has carefully rebuilt himself from that, but who still has all the open wounds and trauma from it lurking just beneath the surface. Think about how he's so used to Sirius hurting and humiliating him that the second Sirius stands it's a reflex to grab his wand. And he's not just holding it. He's balled his fist around it - an obvious sign of stress from someone who usually masks it so well - because this isn't just another duel. This isn't even like facing Voldemort.
No matter that Snape is much older and more capable and more powerful now. When it's Sirius suddenly Snape is 15 again and all those memories and feelings of powerlessness and humiliation come rushing back.
