I Know It’s Cannon That Snape Has/had An Accent When He Was Younger Because Of Where He Grew Up But

I know it’s cannon that Snape has/had an accent when he was younger because of where he grew up but I don’t see enough people talking about it and I like to headcannon that it’s a bit stronger/more obscure than it actually is.

Snape didn’t go to a private school when he was younger like Lily did, so he never knew how to speak “proper English”, therefore Lily has to translate him to others.

It’s the first indicator that he’s not a pureblood to the other slytherins, they make it their life goals to repeat words he “mispronounces”

Lupin can understand him clearly because he traveled so much he knows a bit of everything. He even says a few things the same as him.

Potter tried to make fun of his accent exactly once and was very quickly put in his place by Lily who reminded him she talks the same when she’s comfortable around people which he reply’s “that’s not true you don’t talk like that around me” which just just says exactly and moves on.

Snape is forced to learn “proper English” by Malfoy/Regulus/Mulciber. He hates it and purposefully disobeys them during “class” but out in public he does try to talk like them.

When he’s older he perfectly trained himself to speak proper, however anytime he’s even slightly upset it comes out full force.

Nearly every every order meeting has him slipping back to his accent. Lupin likes to pretend it’s because he’s finally learning to trust people.
