QUOTE(idtotallybeinravenclaw @ Apr 14 2008, 09:13 AM)  A random inspiration struck me the other day and I wanted to see what everyone thought on it. Snape despises Neville, but we never really know a concrete reason, do we? Well, we know that the prophecy made about Voldemort could have been about either Neville OR Harry. I think that later Snape discovered that it could have been Neville, and resented him for it. If Voldemort had chosen Neville as the correct boy to kill, then Lily would have never died. Thus, Snape resents Neville's continued existence. Thoughts? Really really interesting theory!Ive never thought much into why Snape treated Neville the way he did, or the way he did to any of hid other students[aside from Harry of course]. I always just assumed that he hated everyone. And hated the Gryffindors especially by principle. ...Or maybe the fact that he's still really bitter about Neville's boggart. lol This post has been edited by sairah: Oct 14 2009, 08:44 PM --------------------   |

It makes quite a lot of sense. But I also think that Snape just despised him because he was a Gryffindor, because of his friends, his clumsiness and complete lack of talent in potions. Poor Neville.

'Funny,' he said, 'you'd think I'd have stopped walking around...' |
