Season 4 Spoilers 🤗

“The marauders grew up but Snape never did”

Brother Sirius was making his unconscious body hit things and still called him by the same mean nickname he did as kids as an adult, Remus literally gaslit him and harry about the bullying they put Snape through and abandoned his pregnant fucking wife, Peter literally sold all his friends out for self interest, and James kept jinxing snape behind lily’s back and then died 3 years later . Is the growing up in the room with us?

this might be controversial...? but i don't think that snape being an adult when he bullied students is inherently worse than the marauders bullying him while they were teenagers based on their respective ages alone. and that is because the severity of their bullying is nowhere near comparable.

many people (me included) think that snapes worst teacher moment was when he indirectly insulted hermiones teeth. that was pretty fucking awful and can't be excused, especially because he was an adult and teacher. in general, all of his bullying was purely verbal, he never caused physical harm (on the contrary, he was surprisingly protective of all the students compared to most hogwarts teachers).

so obviously the marauders equivalent to this kind of bullying would have been if they stuck to just insulting snapes appearance and calling him snivellus. this is awful too, but not as bad as adult snape saying similar things to children. if this was all that happened, snape would indeed be a worse bully than them.

but the problem is that they didn't stick to 'just' verbal abuse. they went many steps further and almost got their victim killed. and as if that wasn't bad enough, they proceeded to sexually harrass him just for funsies later on. so, well, maybe it's just me, but i can't comprehend how being insulted by a teacher (hurtful) is apparently worse or even just comparable to almost dying and being SA'd by classmates (life long trauma right there). does it actually matter to the victim that the offenders were teenagers? i doubt it.

being a teenager shouldn't mean that you can just get away with shit like that or that it can't be extremely traumatic for the victim, just because they're minors.

You know what I can't get over about the angst the Marauders fandom has for The Prank?

None of it is to do with the fucking victim

It's all about Sirius and Remus and their "fractured" relationship and Sirius' "guilt" and Remus being "angry" or "guilty"

But it's never about the actual fucking victim

It's never about the victim who got tricked and nearly killed. The victim who was silenced by the adults around him. The victim whose own best friend didn't even believe his version of events.

Severus Snape is the biggest victim of the Prank. Out of all the people with any right for angst, he's got the biggest right. For goodness's sake, his abusers didn't even regret what they nearly did, James just was aware the consequences would be nasty for him and his friends. And I don't think even Remus truly cared enough either to truly feel bad about it.

But nobody ever discusses that.
