Do wewe ever feel like wewe can relate to Snape?

How funny... this question. I'm in the process of a professional assessment and I explained that I can be cold and even hard on people, never to mean au do harm, but to ensure a zaidi general interest. I think that's one of the things I can relate to Severus. Besides, I think I would have been sorted in Slytherin, aliyopewa my frame of mind and my ambition (not that I have realized much anyway - LOL - not yet !). Besides, I have a multi-track mind, some people even say I have a powerful intellect. That causes me problems at work sometimes as it scares people (they think I'm after their jobs). Heck, not all the bosses on earth are like Albus Dumbledore ! (And I met quite a few Tom Riddle in the making...)
All in all, I scare people. But those that are not scared feel secure with me (though I can't hex my enemies - pity, some truly deserve it).
Besides, while teenagers may drool over the youngsters in the movie, older things in their late 30s like me are zaidi than content to drool on our gorgeous Potions Master. *drool*
Yes, I can relate to Severus in many ways.

Well not really I can relate zaidi to Bellatrix. But I understand how he felt towards Lily.

PPP! Snape...Snape...Severus Snape...DUMBLEDORE!!!

I can, a little bit. zaidi so with his adult life than his younger life. We both hold grudges and become very unreasonable when told something we don't want to hear. We both enjoy being alone and are both very blunt with our opinions.

hell yes! were practically twins!go eat a cactus POTTER!

I can.. in some ways (mostly because of his youth/schooldays and a litte bit his personality..)

just with how he was treated kwa others in his school days and i was alittle introverted when i was younger not so much now lol

not at all but kwa the way he felt about Lily, yes i undestood perfectly

Yes

Oh YES!!!
Got picked on in school. Got betrayed/dumped kwa my best GF (though I knew it was coming). Misunderstood, my thought process seems to be different from others. My intentions misunderstood. I get very obsessive when interested in something. So, yes, I can very much relate to Severus!!!

well, maybe snape and i were related,i can totally understand him, there were times that i onyesha less affection to people because i know how life is to people who is so "showy" about their feelings, no matter how angry i am im still able to control myself and calm my mind,i always have the belief that the only weapon in being hurt is to onyesha less feeling about stuffs au people no matter how involved wewe may feel, i believe that hiding what wewe really feel is the best thing to do to avoid further suffering and to discipline the mind is to build strength ..

Yes, in a small way when I was in junior high. I had a crush on a boy that I was Marafiki with, but he was already taken. We were Marafiki so I never told him how I felt till much later; after high school, but I was no longer into him kwa then. We are still good Marafiki and we some times laugh together about my one time crush I had one him.

I relate 2 him kwa hardly have any Marafiki 4 support au protection.

Definitely yes, that's why I like him. Particularly when I was younger I was the loner and they liked to pick on me, like Snape has been.

I do think I can relate to him, although I'm probably somewhat biased and grasping for any way to familiar myself with him.

Our personalities are very similar. I have been told I appear very cold and sinister toward others. Even belittling. I am very quiet, I keep to myself. I have that 'lurking' feel about me, just a shadow on the wall. I have been through a lot of depression, but I have never shown it. It has only made me hard and bitter. I can really see myself doing and saying the things he does, although I am not proud of this. He has the stylish, mysterious flair I crave. I don't know whether au not I appear that way, but I seriously doubt it. I feel like others must receive me in the same manner that he is received -- with loathe and fear. No one understands me. (Whoo, angsty teenage glory!) I can never let my real self be known. I cannot trust.

I have never been in a situation romantically resembling his, outside of 'pining' for many crushes, which, I'm sure could never even begin to compare to his heartbreak. My father, who I was very close to, betrayed me and my family and left when I was about the age Severus was when Lily rejected him. This isn't the same, I know, but as I have already mentioned, I'm probably hopelessly grasping for excuses. I am, too, a prisoner of my feelings, which, brought upon kwa various things, tear at me constantly, but again, I can't compare this to his problems.

His relationship with Lily was heartbreaking and beautiful. It makes my moyo throb. But beyond that, I cannot compare to it.

Yes I sure can relate to Severus in many ways. I was picked on at school. This brought on being lonely ,depressed, If pushed in this direction I can be very cold ,sneaky to use as a tool for self defense. I'm told a lot kwa many I very stubborn . I can relate to really wanting to be with someone and I can't be with them.

In many ways we are the same.
In many ways we differ.

(ANYTHING TO BE CLOSE TO SEV!)

I can totally relate to his unfaltering and unconditional upendo towards Lily- a upendo that would never be returned.

We both enjoy solitude and are very loyal, although we may appear to stray from time to time...

We both can be depressed at times, but always have that one thing moving us forward: love.

We both also may appear to be rather odd people, but I think we both cherish that fact.

We feel alone most of the time, because we really are. No one quite understands us.

Lastly, we both are bound kwa what other people perceive us to be and kwa our own feelings.



PS: We both put fear into people and we're both sexy beasts.

yes, having a dark side that isn't understood

Yes, I have a very similar personality to him; sarcastic, misunderstood, really smart, kind of a loner.

I get a little maniacal grin when I grade students' papers ;)

Yes, I could. I have always felt great empathy for him because of what has happened in my life mostly when I was younger and as a child. But, I'm not going to get in to that here heh. Let's just say that I am equally as uchungu, chungu as he is. I can say that Snape still has a moyo though.

a little... if he wasn't so petty about the past, then he'd be way less pissed off all the time!
but I see where he's coming from.

My guess is that most people here can relate to Severus Snape. Sure he's totally gorgeous and sexy. His voice is awesome and the way he moves is mesmerizing. His personality, and his experiences that have created that personality, draw us to him like a nondo to a flame. Personally,I have similar personality traits as our professor. I believe one site classified him as INTJ Myers-Briggs while mine is ISTJ. I totally get him and where he is coming from.
Like LadyNottingham, I am a little older. If I were a character in Hogwarts, I would be Severus Snape's soulmate. ALWAYS <3 Severus

Yes I certainly do. I had a childhood that was like Snape's. I also know what it was like to be bullied.

In many way I feel like he is the male version of myself. My childhood was not very great so I filled my time with a quest for knowledge to over come the lack of self esteem. I still that one should strive to better themselves no matter what and knowledge is the key in all aspects of life. Severus' statement that the mind is not a book to be opened at leisure so hits home.

i think most snape mashabiki relate to him in some way otherwise they would not understand the complexness of him.. we must not forget how brave he was to carry on his life and live it in torment and then to have to teach his tormentors son???...

I can relate to how he felt about Lily (not that I fell in upendo with her too lol but that I know how it feels to how found the upendo of your life and not be able to have them). I can also relate to the anger he feels of losing her to his worst enemy. I'm not sure I'm as brave as him though, I wouldn't have the valour to devote the rest of my life to the torture of looking at the child who symbolised what I'd Lost as well as the enemy I most hated. It's not even my child, so Sod Harry, I would've been off doing something that made me happy again lol

Yes sometimes i do relate au identify myself to Snape when i am at school sometimes with my Marafiki au with my parents.At school they were a guy that i loved but he never loved me! I have been bullied when i was younger kwa my 2 friends, cuz one siku i just started to cry for something and they alisema that i was a baby soo they start to bully me ( i was 8 years old) it stop 3 months later when i told my teacher.

My parents They have a big difference, my dad is really older than my mom so they shout (a lot) at each other and i'm always hearing them and i'm always in the middle .But i do not identify my self with severus all the time cuz now at school i'm the girl who make laugh. People at my school might know what i like but they don't know my inner self.

When i'm pissed i can be very cold and sarcastic. I would say i'm a good actrice like my mom say wewe lie like wewe breath so in a way Snape does lie very well soo.. And i'm an introvert. :S sometimes when i hang around with my friend, i start to be annoy really a lot and i just want to be alone cuz sometimes she just start to praise herself and tell (with subtility) that my stuff is ugly and all that, sometimes i think that she doesn't even recognize that she praise herself too much, my parents always say that she is an awsome girl but ... she is my friend she has her bad side and her good side soo i have to keep everything in me i keep absorbing every *insult like a sponge.
For me sometimes its hard to make Marafiki because of my hands (they are different)soo i just sometimes fell really alone and sad because of that difference because some people just can't get over it.but i do have a lot a good friend. But i have a good life i have huge up and downs but my life is ok its not really like snape childhood mine is happier but still every one gots problem like this they can relate to Snape.!
I don't know for wewe but every time i'm sad, angry au just confused i always say * I'm tired i'm going to go sleep. My room is my best friend!!

Sometimes i upendo to be alone cuz i can be in my world and no one is here to burst my bubble *wich people at my school invade my bubble every siku soo i just stay distant like this they will live me alone* cuz alone i can think, i can be myself even my parents can't invade my bubble when i'm alone. :) At school i'm Ms. Know-It-All cuz for me when people say to me that i'm the girl who have answer to everything i feel good cuz my sel esteem just become a little bit higher but it doesn't really last long.

I identify zaidi my self to Alan Rickman and Draco Malfoy

Yeah... On everything. People at school, problems at home, losing the only person wewe ever loved... well everything. I was severus once without even knowing it; when I was 11, summer had just started, and my father and mother were screaming so loud it'd make your ears bleed... they were hitting each other and flinging things around; I was stuck locked in my room sitting in the corner, hugging my knee's and burying my face and wishing I would die. things stayed bad from even then, just when you'd think things wouldnt ever get worse. Then I met this wonderful, wonderful boy at school and I became so close to him, so close like I'd never before... I kept hanging with these people that he didnt approve of and I never took his word for it. and one siku mwaka later it all ended; I alisema really bad things and did something so stupid and he was gone and I never got a sekunde chance... and I was left unforgiven still to this siku drowning in guilt; I still have his letters, picture, and withered roses to this siku when it was so long ago... I just could never forgive myself and when I read all of severus and lily I was just like "oh my god thats me...!" ever since then I never felt any warm upendo toward any being besides severus; severus saved my life. he reminds me I can still feel love. he saved me from doing away with myself. I think... nobody would ever be interested in me BESIDES severus... every night when I wish I'm in someone's arms, I think of me in his...
and then theres the part of having not many Marafiki IRL; I have many zaidi sworn enemies than Marafiki and I really hate each and every one of them. I use vitabu and reference to learning as an escape from the world. I do look up at the sky every night and think of all the things I can feel his pain on; its unbearable... Guilt is the worst pain in the world

teachers and others say I have an empathic relationship with severus; like our souls are connected somehow... I dont doubt it hes a part of my soul

Yes, in the part of my childhood but i feel too much like SnapeSoulMate in many thing she says...he was my mentor since the very first book in '97...

Not quite specifically, but he is definitely a sympathetic and relate-able character. kwa the end of the series, wewe see that he is much zaidi complex than wewe originally thought, and that he shatters any idea of good vs. He's so very human and tragic, and is just a fantastic character all around.

I think most people can relate to unrequited upendo and the difficulty of a large decision.

Snape appeals on differing depths depending upon the person. I find myself not so much a "fan", as that would be too much like being a shabiki of myself.  I relate to him more than any character I have read au seen.  While my fury manifests cloaked in humor, the underlying rage against the unfairness, injustice, and the inane, useless swill comprising most of society comes from the same never ending ill-treatment. The perpetually misused read between the lines, able to expand on a character we so recognize; often feeling we know him better than the author.  

Some people just never have much of a chance; abusive family, bullied through school, betrayed and taught his worthlessness at every turn. Severus walked into Hogwart's an alien, an outcast, devoid of the social skills to achieve any outcome but zaidi of the same.  This makes his loyalty to the light and perseverance through horrors faced alone all the zaidi extraordinary, courageous, and heroic.

"Those bearing the earliest of abuses, the withholding of caring, and the denial of identity are gifted with instincts in their innocent fight for survival of self.  When the inayofuata years bring but further proof that fairness is for their betters, few escape mankind's most everyday evil of apathy.  Isolated kwa rage, seemingly heir to the malice and petty vitriol that raised them, the rarest few secret their ethics behind masks.  Only from that earliest and most persistent suffering emerges the least likely and most effective warriors against injustice;  with the strengths, tools, and willingness to embrace a life of unmarked sacrifice, their truth known not even when peace finds them with bloodied hands, unmourned hearts of untouched capacity, and innocent souls."

Yes I could feel be I could be related to snape
