WHAT IF…?

So, I was having a fairly good day when realization struck hard! Just realized the man Severus Snape grew to become was not because of his choices and but merely the circumstances and how ‘bitterly unfair life was’to him.

What if…he did not have to grow up in poverty and in a broken family?

What if…his father was loving towards him?

What if…he wasn’t sorted too quickly and was put in Gryffindor?

What if…he had more friends at Hogwarts?

What if…he was not bullied by the Marauders?

What if…he never called Lily a 'mudblood’?

What if…he never joined the death-eaters?

What if…him and Lily were always together?

What if…Voldemort chose Neville instead of Harry?

What if...he did not have to spy for Dumbledore?

What if…he never had to make the Unbreakable Vow to protect Draco?

What if…he never had to kill Dumbledore?

WHAT IF LIFE WAS JUST A LITTLE KINDER TO HIM!?

This honestly just makes me cry. Thinking about the person he could have become if he never had to face any of the above, it just so depressing.

Think about it…
