He was under tremendous stress, the likes of which none of us could have imagined, especially by my fourth year at Hogwarts. We got into terrible danger more instances than I care to count and caused a great deal of havoc and strife for my husband (though that was, of course, unbeknownst to us at the time). We broke the rules and we broke them often. We weren’t always respectful to Severus as a professor or as a person (and I would rightfully argue that Harry and Ron were much worse in this regard). But what most haven’t known is Severus ’s point of view, since all of his interactions in the books, again, stem from Harry’s perspective. What transpired in the books - some of the worst things Severus said and did the heated exchanges he and Harry had - all occurred. Yes, Severus is considerably paler than most, sometimes has stringy hair - or ’greasy’, as the author so unkindly put it - (which is due to working amongst hot and humid fumes all day long, mind you, not because of any sort of poor personal hygiene), and was quick to anger and snap at us. In the case of Rowling’s books, however, it’s important to remember that the depictions of Severus are written entirely from Harry’s ownĬhild-like point of view, starting from when he was a mere eleven-year old boy. That wretched woman has rarely written a true word in her laughable career!). (I’ll forgo any further mention of Rita Skeeter’s accounts about my husband or me. Whilst I might wholeheartedly agree with you that my husband is a far more fetching wizard than he will ever consent to (he’s cringing as we speak!), neither Severus, nor I, can deny that he was depicted fairly accurately in parts of those infamous books, though only in some respects.
