I think that the relationship between Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy is more crucial than the relationship between him and Harry because it is a reminder of how we can see ourselves or our past in so many people and what we can do to give them a chance to change themselves just like we did or the opposite! We may be a  Draco Malfoy and someone else can be a Severus Snape! As Severus Snape taught us Harry Potter fans, things are not always how they appear to be <3 People aren’t one dimensional and they can change! <3

What really bothers me is how fans tend to forget or dismiss the relationship between him and Draco! When this is how Snape was potrayed in the beginning of the Harry Potter series! Dark, cunning, a true Slytherin and ex-deatheater thought to be still supportive of Voldermort! Fans should never forget that Snape was a deatheater and that had Lilly not died protecting Harry from Voldermort, he might as well have been a deatheater throughout the whole Harry Potter series!

So, Severus Snape actually loved Draco and truly favoured him! He wouldn’t have killed Dumbledore otherwise! He wouldn’t have taken an oath to protect him! I mean it is obvious why he protected Harry! He was Lilly’s only son and he could see her in Harry’s eyes! But why did he protect Draco so much? Why he cared about what’s best for him? Why did he favour him? It couldn’t only be to disguise himself as a secret Voldermort supporter! Severus actually loved Draco as much as he loved Harry but for different reasons! Severus had two sides! One being Draco and the other being Harry… His dark, cowardly side and brave, loving side! He kinda lingers between those two throughout his whole life until his love for Lilly made him strong enough to become the hero all Harry Potter’s fans know him to be! Severus Snape isn’t just an one dimensional book character! We can see pieces of his dark side through his relationship with Draco and I don’t think that we should forget or dismiss that since this is what made Snape such a fine example of a changed man who eventually gave his life to destroy the darkness that haunted him throughout his whole life! He did it for Dumbledore, Harry, Draco, Lilly and himself! He didn’t want to be the loser of the story anymore! He didn’t want Draco to be a loser! He didn’t want Lilly to have died in vain! He showed the way to Draco! Just like Lilly and Dumledore did to him!

What has always bothered me about Harry Potter
          Okay, so we all know how Severus seemed to favour Draco Malfoy and how that wasn’t 100% true because he was playing his part for Lilly, Dumbledore and all but why?! and how?! He couldn’t have acted fake all of the time! And I’m not talking about the way he treated Harry but how he ‘’favoured’’ Malfoy! My theory is that Snape actually saw himself in Malfoy! He could very much feel for Draco and understand what he was going through! Being raised in a strict family himself with very high expectations for him, joining the deatheaters and having a Potter as his rival (in that case a love rival)! Everyone can very much see the joy Snape secretly felt whenever he ridiculed Harry even in a humorous way! Harry was Draco’s rival because both of them ‘’competed’’ to show everyone that they are the chosen one or the most powerful one! Both of them unable to control their destiny and expectations set upon them since birth! Harry would always beat Malfoy on everything! Severus could identify with Draco on that aspect especially since James Potter ‘’stole’’ the heart of the person he loved the most! Harry ‘’stole’’ Draco’s pride since Draco is no match compared to Harry’s power, skills and bravery! Both Snape and Draco always being the ‘’losers’’ of the story! (The only difference between Draco and Snape is that Snape changed when Lilly, his only love died…)
