Would he have ever worked for Dumbledore?

Snape did eventually turn away from Voldemort – but it wasn’t for any noble reason. As soon as he found out that Voldemort was planning to kill Harry and his parents, he met with Dumbledore and begged him to save Lily. He couldn’t have cared less if James and Harry had ended up dead but couldn’t stand the thought of Lily dying. While Dumbledore said he would protect the Potters, it was on the condition that Snape now worked for him as a double agent. Snape’s love for Lily ran so deep that he agreed. When she was still murdered, he reluctantly decided that her death would not be in vain, and that he would protect her son. If Snape had regarded Lily as merely a friend, acquaintance, or just someone he had once known, we don’t think he would have accepted Dumbledore’s conditions or worked as a spy. Snape was put in an incredibly dangerous position the moment he turned away from Voldemort. We can’t believe that he would have been willing to do that for just anyone and we highly doubt he would have done it to do the right thing. After all, when he found out that Harry needed to die at the hand of Voldemort, he was furious – but not because he had grown to care for Harry or even the cause. Snape had worked tirelessly to protect Lily’s son for her and felt it had all been in vain. His love for Lily trumped everything – after all those years and always. However, that is not to say that Dumbledore wouldn’t have found another way to recruit Snape – he could be very persuasive. Once Snape was working for Dumbledore, you could see that he did have some influence on him. When Dumbledore was injured by Marvolo Gaunt’s ring, Snape’s anger at him seemed to come from a place of concern and care. He also seemed to respect Dumbledore – even if he didn’t always see eye to eye with him. We also found out that as an adult he didn’t tolerate the use of the word Mudblood, though that was probably more to do with the painful memory of calling Lily one. Either way, Snape did demonstrate growth, which suggests that while Voldemort’s philosophy was incredibly enticing, there was something in Snape that was good. And an incredible and intelligent wizard like Dumbledore may have been able to use that small sliver of light and turn him. Though we don’t doubt it would have been an almost impossible task.

Is Harry Potter a Slytherin?

Harry Potter came very close to being sorted into Slytherin before he persuaded the Hat to sort him into Gryffindor.

The Sorting Hat was the supreme authority of who got sorted where at Hogwarts; it was very rarely wrong. But that’s not to say that there weren’t exceptions. Of course, even in trickier scenarios, there was always wisdom and logic behind the Sorting Hat’s decision – a trait or a hidden depth in a student that nobody else could sense. Even so, here are some of the Hogwarts students who definitely gave the Sorting Hat a hard decision to make.

Hermione Granger

Hermione Granger was a notably difficult choice for the Sorting Hat, nearly resulting in the super-rare Hatstall: a situation where the Hat spends more than five minutes deciding on a student’s house. For Hermione, the Hat spent around four minutes deliberating if she was a Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Not surprising, really. Ravenclaw values wit, and Hermione’s brains were bountiful. Take her Boggart: Professor McGonagall telling her she’d failed her exams was her worst fear! So why did Hermione, once dubbed the ‘brightest witch of her age’, end up in Gryffindor?

It seemed that the Hat saw past Hermione’s academic prowess and noted the intense fire in her instead. Hermione’s bravery was maybe more understated than Harry’s, but when you think about it, Hermione rarely faltered in times of danger. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in particular, Hermione withstood torture, stress and tirelessly handled the emotionally draining camping trip searching for Horcruxes. She was even brave enough to modify her parents’ memories and identities so they’d forget her and not get hurt: a clever move, but more so a gallant one. Hermione’s smarts were admirable, but as she said herself once, ‘Books! And cleverness! There are more important things – friendship and bravery…’
