The Past, Present, and Future of Severus Snape

The Past

Severus Snape’s most recent past life wasn’t quite recent at all. He was a male, so all of the manly traits he acquired from that life have trickled down into his present one. He was born in a tree house shack in Makalakadingalongadoo, which is now modern day Borneo, in the year 575. His parents were both highly exalted, and he was given the best education possible. He was sort of a multi-purpose man of his small village, acting as medicine man, a librarian of tribe records, priest, and keeper of tribal relics. Neeeee-ok, which was his name, grew to be loved by all the people of his tribe-Billyboo-especially the children. He was a great seeker of wisdom and truth, and passed this wisdom and truth down to the children. When he was merely 23 years old, he saw that one day he would be a great wizard who would help bring down a very bad man. This vision was of his future life as Severus Snape, although I don’t think he foresaw the greasy hair part. His elders thought of him as the hope for the tribe who would illuminate the path to the future. His kindness and compassion towards others made him so well beloved, that when he died-choked to death by a snake-the day was a sort of national holiday for the people of Billyboo.

The Present (As of the beginning of Deathly Hallows)

Well, Severus is currently Headmaster of Hogwarts, having taken it over after the death of Albus Dumbledore. Speaking of Albus Dumbledore, Snape was the one who killed him, but it was on Dumbledore’s orders. Snape was supposed to become the next possessor of the Elder Wand, but that unfortunately failed when Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore. But enough of that lot, back to our main guy, Sir Greasy. He was working as a spy against Voldemort, but had to keep up appearances that it was the other way around, so as to not arouse Voldemort’s suspicion. He faced rebellions from his students on a daily basis-a bunch of students even broken into his office to steal the sword of Gryffindor-and the teachers that Voldykinz appointed had a nasty habit of torturing the students. But, by the use of his position as Headmaster, he kept the Carrows under control, if barely. However, he managed to keep up the façade, by helping the Order in various small ways. For example, he had been trying to curse a Death Eater who had tried to curse Remus Lupin-this unfortunately backfired and he ended up cutting off George Weasley’s ear. He also lured Harry to the sword of Gryffindor, knowing it was one of the few ways to destroy horcruxes. Snape was forever loyal to Dumbledore, if only to help take care of Lily Evans Potter’s son, whom he despised, as a last sign of love towards her.

The Future (Assuming Voldie-pants hadn’t killed him)

After-grudgingly-helping Harry Potter save the world, Severus Snape became a duck farmer, which surprisingly brings in a very large profit. His main angle is that he has the best duck eggs and feathers for pillows in towns. He actually sews the pillows himself, and embroiders them with cute phrases like “Love is pointless”. He decided he never wanted to see Hogwarts again, because of all of the painful memories it has there now out numbers the good ones he had with Lily there. He lives alone on Spinner’s End with his ducks as his main companions. Well, they aren’t his only companions, but wait until I get to that. His favorite duck is a mallard female named Lily, whom he let’s sleep in a basket next to his bed and will often sing to sleep. He is, much to his annoyance, occasionally visited by Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley Potter, and sometimes even Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger Weasley. He was not at all pleased when the Potters decided to name one of their children after him, and although he refused vehemently at first, he is Albus Severus’ godfather. For his birthday, George Weasley sent him a dog that had been charmed to sing “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Snape”. He greatly dislikes Mr. Fluffles, even though he is a very nice, friendly dog, because he made him spoil his de-greasing potion by going into the chorus while he was adding the crucial spine of lion fish. He sometimes goes out of the house to go hiking for pinecones which he makes into hats for Lily the Duck, and to throw at company he doesn’t want-a number of the Weasley clan has been hit with such pinecones around 23 times in total. On weekends, Snape enjoys going out on the lake with Lily the Duck, it is here that he feels the most free. After drinking one two many bottles of brandy, he has a tendency to dream that he is a large tree that Mr. Fluffles has chased Lily the Duck up. Snape does not enjoy these dreams and all, and to get rid of them will yodel out his window at the top of his lungs until his brain hurts. He still enjoys wearing a lot of black, but he has now added a nice midnight blue shade to his palate. It’s a very nice color really; you can almost tell that it’s blue in some lights. All in all, Snape is blissfully happy (ish).

Past Present Future:Severus Snape

Past Life

Severus Snape did not have the most happiest of childhoods though he grew up knowing of the magical world. At a very small age he befriended a small girl named Lily Evans who he had seen to poses magical ability. Growing up in a home of hate he spent most of his time outdoors and when Lily was allowed to come out he spent his time teaching her the spells he new. He even sometimes let her on his broomstick though the consequences of that caused Lily’s mother to bang on Snape’s front door. Spending so much time together built a strong friendship up between Lily and Severus and when they both received the letter to go to Hogwarts it was Snape’s happiest day. He was getting away from home to learn magic and Lily would be there!
Over joyed he was always over protective of her guiding her through the Wizarding world. Upon getting to Hogwarts it saddened him to find that he best friend was sorted into Gryffindor and he into Slytherin. Lily saw this as no problem but his pure blooded friends hated the site of her. Snape was under the influence of many people whom grew up to be death eaters making him horrible. Though when he and Lily spent time alone together it was like a dream come true. Many of their prejudice behaviour rubbed of on him causing to say things to Lily that if he was placed in another house would never have thought to say.
Escaping from his childhood home he had come to Hogwarts and was being bullied by the infamous group of boys the Marauders. James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. It seemed he could not escape his misery. Though he always did well at school especially in Defence against the dark arts a subject he had an immense passion for. To make things worse Lily grew distant with him until when she began dating James Potter there was barley a word spoken between the two.
Leaving Hogwarts he began to study to become the Defence against the dark arts professor.

Present Life

After the death of Albus Dumbledore Snape was led to believed as Voldemort’s most loyal subject when in fact he is true to Dumbledore. His mission is to help Harry and he is doing that in every way possible as well as trying to keep in Voldemort’s good books.
Later he was made the headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry trying to convince Voldemort that he is truly on his side Snape makes the school a living hell hole for many people whilst also helping Harry Potter out in various ways. He also tried to help the order out in many ways while he faced all sorts of troubles from the remaining members of Dumbledore’s Army. Really wishing that he could help them when he had to fight against them it was a hard time for Snape.
When the final battle finally came round the corner Snape showed his true colours by helping Harry defeat Voldemort and almost getting himself killed in the process.
(166)

Future Life
After helping Harry he was still bitter and making snide comments every time he faced him as the site of Lily’s son stabbed pains into his heart. Though that fact was there Snape and Harry became friends later when Harry’s children were born Snape became their godfather and one of Harry’s children was also named after him, Albus Severus.
Though Snape was bitter he was glad when he was given the Defence against the dark arts teaching post back though he still favoured all Slytherin’s he was not as cruel a teacher he was in Harry’s day. Snape as the oldest teacher in the school was never looked down upon because of that fact and was mainly harassed by the students for his recount of what happened in the final battle.
When it came time for him to retire he bought a house in the neighbouring village to where Harry lived. Still obsessed with the dark arts Snape spent most of his time studying and creating spells though most of them were not as gruesome and cruel as the ones he had created in his teenage years.
The house he lived in was spacious and fine and upon many occasions he accompanied Harry and his family to watch Ginny’s quidditch games though he still felt bitter resentment towards Harry it was for the children’s sake he went for he had taken quite an attachment to them.
As Harry being an auror he often asked Snape to come with him to defeat dark wizards and it was on one of this occasions that Severus Snape met his end.

Past Life:
In 1463 Snape more commonly known as David Backerworth was a shoe sales man who liked to make large clown shoes. He would have normal looking shoes that were huge along with red ones, blue ones, pink poke-a-dot ones and yellow ones. He started to make his shoes at the age of five and stopped when he died at the age o thirty.
In 1564 Snape AKA Randy Mecner had a Wagon and traveled across the country looking for new species to add to his collection. Once he spotted a creature that was never before identify he would cast a spell on it so that it would freeze in place. He would then take it the Ministry of Magic and have them place it in their creature arcades. Mecner did this for twenty years til he died at the age of thirty six by a hippogriph that he could not freeze with a freeze charm.
In 1678 Snape AKA Samuel Garth was a great dragon slayer. Many would call onto him to slay any dragons that were causing muggles problems that the Ministry could not handle. Garth loved to hunt down these creatures but during one trip he almost died. He was chasing after a red western dragon and when he arrived at the cave to where the dragon was living at he found that the dragon was not a dragon but instead an animagus. The animagus’s name was Freddy Becks, Garth’s old friends from school. Garth tried to reason with him but Becks wanted to get rid of all of the muggles so Garth had no choice but to kill his own friend. After fighting for more than two hours, Garth had defeated Becks but Becks had managed to get Garth to drink some poison. Garth almost died but another wizard came to check on him and found him laying on the cave floor. He quickly got him to St. Mungos and his life was saved. Three years later Garth was killed by a real red western dragon at the age of Forty three.
Present Life

Severus spent most of his time trying to make sure that Harry Potter had stayed alive and after the final battle Harry had realized what Snape had done all of those years that he was at school and the years before that and had a statue built for him at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary in the front yard of the school for all to see. Then about three years after the statue was built Harry had them place a painting of Snape in the Minstry of Magic and along with this painting Snape had received many metals for what he had done. Many had claimed that Harry had gone crazy thinking that Snape was an evil man who was a Death Eater and had never changed. Harry had tried many times to make them change their minds about Snape which a few did but not everyone had their minds changed.

Future Life

If Snape was to be murdered by moldy socks it would of have been from the mold because people are not to breath in mold because they would die from it, just like Snape could of. Snape could of have been wearing the same socks for many years and never washed them or even took them off of his feet. After the many years of not being cleaned his socks would start to grow mold. Snape then could of have taken his shoe off one day and saw that there was mold everywhere and wondered what it had smelled like. He would of pulled his foot up to his face and sniffed it infecting himself with the mold. Then a few days later someone would find Snape dead with moldy socks on his feet.

If Snape was to die this way then he could of have missed the final battle and we all know that then Harry wouldn’t of have realized that Snape was a good person and he would of have never gotten a cool satue of himself. Harry would still hate him and not trust him at all and Snape might be too shy to tell Harry about his past and how he lived his mom and what had happened between the two of them.

Past Life

In a past life, Severus Snape once lived as a prince. This was around the turn of the 18th century in a small country in Europe. He was known as Prince William Walters and was the younger brother of a very well-known king. Prince William was in love with the Queen, and his love had blinded him. He began to feel a deep jealousy for his brother, which eventually turned into an unquenchable hatred.
One day he was walking through the courtyard and saw the queen sitting alone, crying. Many years later, he would learn that this was a well-acted deception, but not until years after he'd already fallen into her trap. She was an ambitious queen, who believed that Prince William was weak and easily manipulated. She convinced him that the king had committed an act of great cruelty to her.
Enraged, he killed his own brother and took the crown upon himself. Sadly the queen had been correct that he could be used as a pawn. She married him only a month after the former king’s death, under the pretense that it would be inappropriate for a young woman to live unwed. For twenty-five years, she controlled him like a puppet master does a marionette. By the time he reached his forty-eighth birthday, she had grown rather tired of having power that wasn’t recognized. She wanted the glory she believed should come with the power. She slipped a potion into his wine one evening before dinner. It killed him almost instantly.
His experience in his last life greatly shaped who he is today--someone who shuts himself off emotionally so as not to seem weak, someone who will not let anyone possess control over his life--someone who has a passion for potions and poisons as well as a love for the darker side of magic.

Present Life

Battling with inner demons that no one could begin to fathom, Severus Snape is a highly enigmatic individual. He gives off the appearance of cold hatred to many, and some even believe him to be evil. However, this could not be farther from the truth. Behind that mask of anger and hardness, there lies a kind and loving man.
Severus Snape is also a perfect example of true courage. He faces a task that few could handle--letting people believe terrible things of him while he commits acts of kindness and love in secret. He is never able to show himself for who he is. He is treated with a significant lack of respect for fellow teachers who don't believe in his goodness and is even forced to encourage it because he knows it is for the best.
The pain from years of suffering and mistakes is starting to take its toll. If he does not find a way to release his hurt and fear, it may drive him to do something he will undoubtedly regret. It may be hard to accept, but Severus Snape, more than anyone could guess, simply needs to be loved.

Future Life

I would love to say that Severus Snape will find inner peace and love before he leaves this world. Sadly, I don't feel that it is meant to be. His experiences have made him who he is today, and it's too deeply ingrained to change at this point. He'll still lead a full life for the remainder of his years.
It is clear that Severus Snape was able to form fulfilling relationships, even if they weren't romantic ones. His feelings for Albus Dumbledore were rather like a son's for a father. Years later, Severus Snape will find the ability to share that role with another lost soul.
Severus Snape, who will return to the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, eventually becoming headmaster by means that are more honorable, will encounter a young girl who is struggling with inner demons of her own. She is the female version of him as a child--frightened, desperate to fit in, and angry. He will take this new student under his wing and help her find her own strength, and a father figure she can look up to rather than fear. This he will do for a person whom he has no idea holds the reincarnated soul of his own mother.

Part One:

Severus Snape always had a tragic life, even before he was deemed as Severus Snape. Once, many years ago, he was named Carrie Cortel. Carrie’s life was tragic; beautiful but tragic. She fell in love with a dark wizard and allowed herself to fall into the clutches of the darkness. Carrie could never deny brilliance, being the top of her class at Hogwarts. The year was 1564 and Carrie ended up allowing herself to fall victim to the growing prejudice against the muggle borns that started to fill the school. Which was very hypocritical considering that she too was a muggle born. Yes, Carrie was a very complex person while in school, always wanting to prove she too could be a pureblood, even if her blood was dirty. When she finished Hogwarts, she went straight to the Ministry, helping those who controlled the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures floor. Evan Rainer, who was ten years older than Carrie, was the first to notice her. Carrie was extraordinary, anyone could tell. Even the minister feared her skills. After three years of working in the Ministry, Carrie was the youngest student out of Hogwarts to achieve a promotion to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, before becoming head of the department. And that was when Evan struck. He knew as long as he approached slowly, it would be easy to corrupt Carrie. If there was any flaws Carrie had, it was greed and pride.

Carrie allowed herself to bask in everything Evan had convinced her of and after years of working in the Ministry, she finally turned against it. She started practicing dark magic, trying her hardest to even make a horcrux. It was then, though, Evan realized that she was a muggle born. Carrie, who tried her hardest to convince him otherwise, turned a blind eye on her, even going as far as to murder her. At the age of twenty five, Carrie was found dead. She had been murdered by Evan, who had left her body in a coffin behind St. Mungo’s, wanting her to be found.

Part Two:

Severus Snape, now in his respectful body, fell in love with a girl. Of course, nothing ever works out for the tragic hero, who, instead protects her son long after she has dies. From the start, he watched over young Harry, making sure he was never in any kind of danger. But Severus had a secret. He still held a grudge against Harry’s father, which caused Harry to never trust this man. Snape became a double agent when the Dark Lord came back, helping Dumbledore in any way he could. Of course, this meant even committing a murder. Severus soon became the headmaster, still taking orders from the one he was loyal to. Dumbledore made sure he knew everything about what was to happen with Harry. Snape proved that he was not a cold blooded murdered when the war had ended.

Part Three:

After being cleared of all charges that was placed on him, Severus decided to stop teaching at Hogwarts. Instead, he decided he wanted a quiet live and moved to the country side, where he and Lily had use to pretend they would live. Most people figured him to be a bitter old man, who wanted nothing more than to get revenge on Voldemort. Of course, Voldemort died by his own wand. After many years, Severus decided he wanted to teach once more, going back to the only job he ever achieved pleasure in- potions. He taught the grandchildren of Potter’s and Weasley’s and even a Longbottom. Just like one of his colleagues, he fell asleep in his chambers, only to awake as a ghost. Unlike Binns, he was well aware of his condition and decided to finish the year out. When he was replaced, he made it his personal duty to help any other potion master who dared cross across his old classroom.
