QUOTE(crucio_uk @ Nov 21 2008, 06:42 AM)  well Mrs_Linnea_Snape, I just phoned Sigmund Freud and he says you got a classic case of Psychological projection, and it is you who has the Slight Crush On Snape ;) Ha ha...how did you guess??? In my head, Snape didn't even die. They rushed him to St. Mungo's and found a blood donor, saving him in the nick of time. Please don't contradict me on that. My fragile, Snape-obsessed psyche simply can't take it. I'd had a suspicion Snape would die since the end of Book 6, and all through Book 7 I was crossing my fingers, saying "Please, please, J.K., let him live!" At one point while reading Book 7, I simply couldn't take it anymore, and quickly flipped through to catch a glimpse of The Prince's Tale chapter. From that 2-second peek I concluded that Snape had lived, and The Prince's Tale was him finally explaining himself to everybody. Needless to say, I was crushed when I found out I was wrong, and that his explanation of himself was post-mortem. Anyway, I really would like to know whether or not Snape and Bella were at school together. Didn't one timeline put her as being born in '54, and another put it as '51? So, she was either in her 7th year when Snape was in his 1st, or she graduated three years before he started? I love to get an answer on this, because it would really help shed some light on Snape and Bella's relationship (and by this I just mean their relationship as fellow Death Eaters, not necessarily any romantic one). With regards to whether or not Voldemort reciprocated any of Bella's feelings, I think that is unlikely. As Sirius_Craic said, I think his scream in response to Molly killing Bella was just because he'd lost another of his most loyal and devoted followers, just after he'd killed one of them himself (or, killed one whom he thought was loyal, anyway). I think she was certainly one of his favorites, but I don't think he had any true affection for her. As J.K. herself said, Nagini the snake was the one creature Voldemort may have felt some sort of true human affection for. Not Bella. Linnea |

According to the Prince's Tale, Snape and the Marauders definitely started school when Lucius was the Slytherin prefect. And it seems that Snape always liked Lucius and vice versa, despite Snape's being half-blood. It is very likely then that Snape and more particularly, Lucius, who married Bellatrix's youngest sister, was at school with both Bellatrix and possibly Andromeda Black as well. It is also very likely then that even if Snape did not meet Bellatrix at school he might have met her socially through Lucius and Narcissa. Narcissa does seem to have no qualms about turning to Snape in HBP. --------------------  Check out the Beedle the Bard Book Club |

I don't think that Bellatrix has any affection for Severus Snape. She is too busy trying to get back her place in LV's affections, and doesn't want Severus lording it over her. Bellatrix is not the sort of sister-in-law that Lucius needs, and I also think that her own husband and brother-in-law are scared of her.

Not Bella. Linnea I don't think Voldemort felt anything for Bellatrix, although I am sure he was aware of her feelings for him and tried to manipulate them to his advantage! I dont think that there was any hint of romance between snape and BT-snape always remained devoted to lily and BT was always obsessed with LV. Hardly the grounds for any blossoming romance! -------------------- ....and there was a noise like a plunger being withdrawn from a blocked sink......

Ha ha...how did you guess??? In my head, Snape didn't even die. They rushed him to St. Mungo's and found a blood donor, saving him in the nick of time.
They didnt need to get him to St Mungos's. Fawkes came and healed him after the trio left, although he was still too weak to make his way back along the tunnel for a few hours. Then Severus and Fawkes later turned up in the Headmaster's office just when the Elder Wand had failed to fix Harry's wand (it's a weapon of war, why would it ever be especially good at Reparo?) and Harry was asking desperately aimlessly for help. Fawkes gave him a new feather and Ollivander was able to make him a new wand. I had always expected Snape to die in book seven too, but heroically. Once I got over his not playing the clinching role in the final battle, then I reckoned he might as well get to live, and that's my version. But I probably still prefer the version where he dies throwing himself in front of Harry to take Voldemort's curse... Sorry, that was a bit off topic. I don't reckon Bellatrix ever loved anyone except Voldemort. Voldemort, cold as he was, expressed more regard for Bellatrix and her companions in torturing the Longbottoms than for anyone else, until they were among those letting him down at the Ministry. Then Severus became the favourite. This was apparent to her and seems to me to be enough reason for the atmosphere between them. |
