Simply thinking about Severus Snape and how I absolutely loathed him for having killed Dumbledore and for being such a dick to Harry over the years I just could not understand how he could be so mean. In Order of the Phoenix seeing one of his worst memories obviously led on to the fact that he was obviously picked on a lot, but I think at some point a grown man just matures and gets over it.
But Jo Rowling wrote it so well that until that very chapter, The Prince’s Tale I had no idea. None whatsoever. After I read that chapter I literally put the book down and walked out of the room shaking. My mom wanted to know what was wrong with me and I was simply speechless. Jo Rowling wrote this truly amazing love story in one chapter. Better than any love story I have ever seen or read.
This one man loved Lily so much that he was willing to risk his life to protect her son until the very end. He is an incredibly tortured character and I just cannot get over how amazing that story is.
As I look over my right shoulder to my Harry Potter shelf I cannot help but feel incredibly greatful to Ms. Rowling. She created this world for so many of us to escape into while our lives were perhaps rough or we were misunderstood. For so many years I could read those books and imagine exactly what the world looked like and what going to Hogwarts would be like.
I am 19, and I am still waiting for my letter to arrive.
