You, MichelleH, are awesome! I had forgotten about this video till a friend of mine started listening to this song a few minutes ago. Watched it again, then remembered something...
Your video (posted in 2006) is what made me realize that Snape loved Lily, even before I had read OotP! So thank you for that glorious moment of realization. :D
This is very well done. You chose some fantastic scenes for this, such as Snape reaching for Harry (who was under the invisibility cloak) when they sang "I touch no one and no one touches me." Good editing, too.
I love how this song's meaning of hiding one's feelings to avoid getting hurt perfectly mirror's snape's insecurity and emotional vulnerability. Not to mention I'm a fangirlish rickmanista who would love any vid with alan in it.
BRILLIANT. Kudos to Freelancer for an incredible video and picking the perfect song for Prof. Snape. Kudos to you for uploading this awesome video to YT so more people could view it.. :-)
Wow, great montage, the beginning is a bit poor, but after the first 20 seconds it's awesomely well done. he has sure read all of the harry potters, with lilly james in it. great job
Brilliant use of this song!!!! I am totally a big fan of simon and garfunkel, because I would listen to their songs when my older brothers would play them on guitar, and now my 19 yr. old likes them.this song totally goes with snape's character!!! Thank you!!
I think it both confirms and disproves. The second verse is confirmed: Snape loved Lily. But then, there are some lyrics that are ambiguous. Like "I have no need of friendship". He seems to have some good relationships with the Hogwarts staff, McGonagall mostly. And "I won't disturb this slumber of feelings that have died" is another iffy one, because Snape doesn't really deny to himself the feelings he has for Lily, but uses them as a motivation for doing good things.
Brilliant job, great choice of song! I always held out hope that Snape was a "misunderstood good guy". Can't wait to see inside the Pensieve when they get to the 7th movie- a guaranteed tearjerker for Snape fans.
I love this video, it reminds me of Snape and people like him. Sometimes when someone is very intelligent they 'shut down' their emotions and bury themselves in books, simply because they never caught up to their peers socially.
hahaha .. The half blood prince is a rock
and rock never cry .. thats true

And Rickman (whom I utterly adore!) with his initials Alan Sidney Patrick - Asp!!! Rowling made the Slytherin symbol an asp...
Wild speculations ;-)... but I guess she always preferred Alan Rickman as Snape (and not Tim Roth who was asked to play him but refused).
Too far-fetched?
