For You Only | Severus, Lily & Harry

"If you loved Lily Evans, if you truly loved her, then your way forward is clear; help me protect Lily's son." - Albus Dumbledore, The Prince's Tale, Chapter 33, Deathly Hallows.

NOT SLASH! XD

Yay, new vid. This time focusing on my favorite chapter, "The Prince's Tale" from Deathly Hallows. Ever since the last book, I've loved the dynamic between Snape, Lily, and Harry. How, even though he hated Harry's father and Harry seemed to be just like him, Snape still protected the boy. For Lily. I wanted to show that Severus is living only because of the promise he made to Dumbledore, that he would always protect Harry. He's basically living only for Harry. Thus this vid. I truly believe that Snape came to care for Harry. Especially in Snape's final moments before his death, when he told Harry to look at him, so he could see Lily's eyes one last time. I believe, that when Harry gave Sev that moment of peace, Snape's view on Harry changed. He might have realized that Harry was more like Lily after all, but it was too late. Much too late to do anything about it.

The "What If's" for these two are endless. They could have bonded, over Lily. Hell, Snape might have even raised Harry later on had things been different. But of course, we would never have had the epic story for Snape that we do now, so naturally, I wouldn't want it any other way.

Before DH came out, I hated Snape. Hated the way he treated Harry. But when we learned of his endless love for Lily, and losing her, not only to James, but to death as well, did I come to see just how tragic this man was. You need to really think about it before it strikes you how hard it must have been for Snape. Harry looking (and acting) so much like James (who I hate, by the way), with the eyes of the woman he loved? It made Snape my favorite character easily.

So yeah, pretty self-explanatory vid. xD
