Same. Or read a book series of his hogwarts life as a student. Why he did certain things, like follow the Marauders, became friends with the death eater wannabes, the bullying he recieved from the marauders and his relationships with Lily's family and the rest of the hogwarts students plus the professors.
@@ElysiaMaerda The only thing I loved about Cursed Child is.... *SPOILER ALERT SPOILER AHEAD* . . . . . . . . . . . . . the fact that Snape is still alive in one of the alternate Time-Turner timelines. I cried when reading through the parts with him, he's my favorite HP character ever 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤
C.G.M Gaming I second that!!! Here is the link to Severus Snape and The Marauders if anyone is interested in giving it a watch: ruclips.net/video/EmsntGGjxiw/видео.html
@@alexc5369 Coincidentally, the potion was brought up because Voldemort knew it and told Wormtail. Noone else really came with the idea or probably even knew about the potion. So since that's the only thing that the death eaters know of right now, destroying the bones destroys the main/now easiest and most spread method of returning. So if that's gone, it's back to the way it was before the 4th part where he comes back. As in noone really knows what to do and Voldy would have to save the day as always.
I admit I didn't like snape the first time I read the books.but the more I learn about him the more I respect him, and realize just how clever and powerful he really was,it wasn't fair to Harry to be treated so poorly,but partly he was making sure Draco and,the others in is house believed he hated Harry , and his friends.
Snape is such a depressing character for this reason. The most literal description of an unsung hero in my eyes, dude had to act that way and he had no choice if he wanted to be a spy. And he did it all for love.
I think Snape was one of the most powerfull wizards that time.Remember the fight between him and McGonnagal.Not only did he deflect her attacks, he also led the attacks to the other 2 deatheaters to make them no threat for the school when he escaped.So basiscally he did not only protect himself, but also the rest of the school at that moment.
@Kakhi Rao I think Snape was a shy and maybe little insecure person when he was bullied.The looks he had and his introversie made him a black sheep so qt school he was basically alone and an easy target.After the humiliation he experienced multiple times he paid more attention to the dark magic side of wizardry.
Snape needs a Netflix series. Showing his Dark Arts misadventures, joining the Dark Lord, turning snitch and finally devoting his life to treating the son of the woman he loved not as a treasured reminder of her, but instead as a product to be delivered safely to his demise.
Hello, can you please do a video about what makes a Witch or Wizard more "powerful" than others? Dumbledore (even without the Elder wand) is undeniably "powerful" but whats to stop, say 5th year Neville from being just as powerful? Sure your knowledge of spells and arsenal of charms would distinguish Hermione from Ron for example, but a spell is just a spell regardless of the caster is it not?
This was Rowling's fault. Quirrell did wandless magic when he tied Harry up in book 1. I assume Voldemort used power. Wandless magic is only shown a couple more times. You never saw a full power Voldemort do it. That's why I like fanfics better than the books. I love the world and the foundation and the characters but imagine how good the series would've been if Rowling had written at least the later ones with a military minded author who was awesome at writing battle scenes and powerful magic. At the time, I was impressed with the duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore. Now it is boring because in effect, it wasn't powerful. There was no wandless magic or anything. Dumbledore took down a bunch of Death Eaters but considering they weren't putting up shields to avoid stunners from teens, that is not that impressive. Bellatrix did the most when she took down four Snatchers. We never get a scene like that with Voldemort. The movies are the only things that are somewhat satisfying for the final battle. The story makes sense for how Harry won but Voldemort is a dark lord. Come on!
I personally thought about it a lot and i think what makes one stronger than other must include a lot of things together but most importantly the will to become stronger and focus(or u might say the mental power someone puts while casting the spells) also the relation b/w the user & the wand is a factor too
A spell is not just a spell regardless of the caster, the effectiveness or the consequences depend on how powerful the caster is. This is something at least you should know after reading Harry Potter.😑😑
I know it's a terrible comparison, and I hated when the prequel Star Wars trilogy introduced the concept, but I imagine it is similar to the midi-chlorians in Star Wars. Due to certain factors, I imagine certain wizards just have more magic in their DNA. Voldemort and Dumbledore were clearly the Vader and Luke of the Harry Potter universe. They are two wizards who have an innate and biological connection to the essence of magic
I just want the channel owner to just read all of the Harry Potter books to me. I've read them all numerous times but I would listen to his wonderful voice to hear the stories again.
Love this channel but technically Snape wasn’t “Good all along”. He became a double agent and protected Harry because of his love for Lily. That’s it. Had Neville had actually been the chosen one, Snape would have been no better than Malfoy. The only difference is he would have most likely served Voldemort until the bitter end.
Well, we know the Wizards and ties to the muggle government. Maybe slipping Snape a GPD tracker and then dropping the UK equivalent of a MOAB on the next Death Eater meeting would have been a thought. You might not keep Voldy down long but you would clean out a lot of his Death Eater support making him easier to deal with. I guess this is why I don't write children's books.
Imagine that Harry, Ron and Hermione could not find some of the horcruxes so they had to kill Voldemort several times and then just wait akwardly till he resurrects.
At harry and ginny's wedding: Voldemort: I have returned once again to have my revenge harry potter! Ron: wow what a wedding crasher. Harry: hermione do you mind? Hermione: I got this. AVADA KEDAVRA! there you go, enjoy the rest of your honey moon harry!
I think it’s because if the horcrux is a living thing, like Harry or Nagini, you have to kill it to destroy the horcrux. Because the other Horcruxes were not alive, the instant the venom touched them, they were destroyed.
Voldemort was one of three most skilfull wizards in the 20th century. Snape was a powerfull and skillful wizard, he has cheated the Dark Lord with his Occlumency skills but...I think he wasn't enough powerful to kill his ex-master. And we know that killing Voldemort was impossible becaus of Horcruxes that Snape had no knowlege of.
To bring him back in the form we know, they would have needed his fathers bones. But snape could have easily have taken care of that. But I guess there were other options for voldemort to getting a new body.
It would be pointless, as you said. Voldemort would come back, and his followers would know now that death cannot stop him, so it'd probably be even easier to do so. Plus, his new body might not have Harry's blood protection binding him to Harry, so it migth've gone differently when Voldemort inevitably kills him.
Here's the _real_ reason...Snape _couldn't_ kill Voldemort (and I'm not talking about because of the Horcruxes; I'm saying that Snape literally _couldn't_ destroy Voldemort's body.) Why did Harry survive when Voldemort blasted him with a Killing Curse in the Dark Forest, but the soul fragment inside him _was_ destroyed? When Voldemort used the Dark Potion to restore his body, he purposefully chose Harry's blood as opposed to anyone else, to Bypass the Love Protection Spell - effectively, Harry's blood gave him a kind of "whitelist" to get him past Lilly's "firewall". The protection was supposed to disappear when Harry turned 17 and no longer lived with Petunia Dursley at Privett Drive. However, because Voldy took Harry's blood, he -in a sense- became Harry's blood-relative, thus keeping the Blood Protection Alive. Meaning that no one would be able to kill Harry so long as Voldemort was still alive - he himself had sealed his own downfall in choosing Harry's blood, as now, he'd never be able to kill him. _So_ by logic, that should mean that the protection now works _both ways._ The unintended consequence being that now that Voldy has Harry's (Lilly's) Blood going through him, he technically now falls under Lilly's Blood Protection Enchantment. It's why the Prophesy stipulates that either of them (Harry and Voldemort) must kill the other; because Voldy got Whitelisted, Harry in-turn was Whitelisted past _his protection_ as well. Therefore, if anyone else but Harry tried to kill Voldemort, the curse would rebound back on them. QED - Snape _couldn't_ Kill Voldemort.
@@SwxftXD Glad you asked, _Quite simple really_ You simply take whatever phrase you wish to italicize - be it a word or a line of words - and you surround it with two underscores - like so _ _. It should look something like "_This_" except without the quotation marks.
But that protection was made for Harry. So it wouldn’t work on Voldemort always. Besides, his ultimate downfall was achieved by other factors, including the elder wand.
hmm, interesting point, i had always assumed this to be more on knowing where voldermort is. As in, while he is in a mortal/corporeal form, yes he has his power but he is still a single person, who can only be at a single place in time (obviously magic etc etc), but as long as you know where he is, you also know where he isn't. If you kill him, A) you don't know where, when or how he might come back and B) Voldermort is confident, he relishes in being with his death eaters and showing his power as he was in the front attacking Hogwarts (yes also because Dumblydor was dead), but if he was betrayed or even killed by an ally, he may not be so willing to be in the open, so even if you destroyed all of his soul fragments, you still need to kill 'him' and its hard to do that if you can't find him.
I do not think to cast the killing curse you need to feel the animosity that you'd need to cast the cruciatus curse. Harry used the Imperio Curse and didn't feel hatred or anger at the goblin he used nor the Death Eater Travers he controlled as well. To use the killing curse one needed powerful full grown magic to do it. Moody said it specifically about the killing curse, just as Bellatrix said it specifically about the torture curse, with details no less.
The unforgiveable curses may be driven by intention. The raw willpower to kill, to torture, to control... I don't think that there's a lot of emotional involvement necessary
@@DecemberPark Cruciatus I believe is the real emotional one, you have to enjoy torturing. Snape in no way held animosity towards Dumbledore, but being powerful he could cast the spell.
@@MountainFisher he pulled deep inside him that hate and pain against dumbledor for allowing his one and only true love to die in the hands of what he considers back then as his foes. avadabrakadara!
The thing I always wondered was how the dark lord never knew a piece of his soul was inside Harry Potter. You would think that is something he would of known or at least had a feeling about.
Or Snape just knew about the prophecy and knows that it’s not up to him to kill lord Voldemort which is probably why Dumbledore didn’t directly go after Voldemort also 🤷🏾♂️ just saying
Why did Voldemort's disembodied spirit flee all the way to a forest in Albania? That's a bit of a random place to go to. Why didn't he just hang out in Birmingham or something? His Death Eaters would have had a much better chance of finding him there.
Not a random place at all, Voldemort was very familiar with the forest in Albania as he spent years there searching for the Lost Diadem which he found and returned to Hogwarts on the day he had the interview for the DADA position.
Some theories suggest that "Albania" refers to Scotland, as back in the Middle Ages that was another name for Scotland. Additionally, Rowena Ravenclaw was from Scotland, so it would make sense for Helena to hide the diadem there. It's also less far away from Hogwarts. Now, note, this is a theory only. I can see some issues in it, but it's something to consider.
I'm pretty sure Voldemort had paralyzed Snape so he wouldnt struggle against being basically mauled to death. After a quick gesture you can sort of hear static from Voldemort. Snape was ready to fight but Voldemort was a snake and struck first
They didnt actually know that Voldy had horcruxes until Slughorn's Memory was revealed in full, Dumbledore had suspicions but it wasn't confirmed - by the time they discovered this, Voldy was already back in a body for a year and a half.
they knew since the fake memory or even earlier when harry brought the diary whichever came first. The question wasn't if voldy made horcruxes, it was how many? and where?
I think the reason why Dumbledore wanted Voldemort to do it himself is not that nobody else could destroy the Horcrux, but that this was Harry's one chance to survive the destruction of the Horcrux. The Horcrux inside him felt the presence of the rest of Voldemort's soul and reacted to it when threatened. Dumbledore anticipated that there was a chance that if Harry faced Voldemort willing to let him kill him and not resisting, the Horcrux would rise to defend itself and thereby unintentionally take the blow for him. In book 6, when Dumbledore and Harry discuss the suspicion that Nagini is a Horcrux, Dumbledore states that normally it would be foolish to make a living thing a Horcrux, because it lives and moves around and is in so much more danger than a heavily defended object Horcrux and that Voldemort only dared to do that because he knew he had plenty of backups.
@@chrisrudolf9839 Why didn't the Horcrux defend him before tho? While he was drowning in the lake during the second task, or when the locket tried killing him.(or the numerous other times he almost does)
Snape is simply to smart to act out of desperation... But with that said, i do believe he would not hesitate for a second to kill Voldemort if he absolutely had to. Like, if he had to do so to keep the plan in motion. Buying Hary and extra week or so is of no real help. But buying Harry time when it's about to run out i could totally see. Trough it all Snape remains calm and collected. I think he has a pretty good grasp of the situation trough out. It is true, Snape was the bravest one of them all. And not only that, he was probably the strongest one of them all. Not only did he dare lie straight to Voldemort's face for years. Not only did he make himself one of the most hated Wizards in the world for the cause.... But he also served the man that killed the only person Snape ever loved. I'm sure deep within Snape there was more the enough hate dor Voldemort to kill him without a moments hesitation. But Snape was allways collected and calm. He served his role flawlessly. Probably the most loyal ''soldier'' Dumbledore had. The bravest and probably one of the most important weapons in the war against Voldemort. In the end, Harry was simply walking a path layd out for him. He was a pawn in a much larger game of chess... Snape was also a pawn. But he was also a player. Because he moved things along. So when Dumbledore died Snape took over the game in his place. It's pretty Amazing when you think of it. Snape is the glue that held everything together to the very end. Had it not been for snape i'm sure they would have lost. Like seriously, the more you think about it... Snape is the best character in Harry Potter. And not only that, one of the best characters in fiction. Seriously gonna have to watch trough the movies again soon. I used to watch each movie for Harry and i viewed it as Harry's journey. But ever since the story ended i've sort of changed my view of it. It's not so much Harry's journey anymore. It's watching Snape's journey in the backround. The clues where allways there since the very first film. Like he was literally sitting right next to Voldemort and trying to save Harry in the first film. In the third film as much as it seems like he hates Harry, he literaly pushed Harry, Ron And Hermione behind himself while he stood face to face with Lupin as a Werewolf. Like, he literally threw himself right infront of a Blood thirsty monster to save Harry and his friends. He wasn't playing a part there. He was simply saving Harry's life. Snape was a hard character to read trough and trough. But when you go back you can tell that he was allways a man willing to die for a greater cause... In the name of someone he loved. Even if it meant also saving the son of a person he trouly couldn't stand for good reasons. I love Snape as a character. ''Allways'' will forever be one of my favorite lines... It could so easily have been cheesy and bad. But they made it work. Both in the books and in the films. Damn shame Alan Rickman never got a award for that role. The man owned that role. He is a pure Legend.
I agree that killing Voldemort wud had been a waste! Plus around this time Dumbledore was dying as well, he probably felt it is time to end it once n for all the Voldemort legacy.
I can't believe how very well thought the whole story of Harry Potter is! Not only that but also how well written it is! J.K.R is a super genius! I wish I had a fraction of that grey matter! My ultimate dream is to write a book like my grandfather who wrote so many in his time!
Snape didn’t have access to Voldemort when he was in his rudimentary body prior to the night of the third task in goblet of fire. He didn’t even attend the death eater meeting in the graveyard. He spent time convincing Voldemort that he didn’t show up because it would’ve looked suspicious if he had disappeared from the school. It wasn’t until after the show down in the graveyard that he even saw Voldemort again.
Suhana Yeah but Voldemort couldn’t penetrate his mind, so he would never know, when snape killed Dumbledore that just cemented him siding with Voldemort even though he did it on Dumbledore’s behalf
He could've bought more than a decade were Snape able to destroy Voldemort's body, or poisoned/paralyzed it so that it could no longer be used effectively. Remember that when the killing curse rebounded off Lily shielding Harry, it both split Voldemort's soul (how Harry became a Horcrux) AND destroyed Voldemort's corporeal form. It was only until Harry's first year at Hogwarts was it revealed that Voldemort wasn't killed, and instead what remained of his soul latched onto Professor Quirrell. It was then a further 4 years before Wormtail managed to create a body alchemically. Were Voldemort's body destroyed or made no longer viable by any means, the Wizarding World would potentially return to normal for a time. Many of the Death Eaters would abandon the cause again, become disorganized and reintegrate back into society. Others would be captured and imprisoned in Azkaban once more. Buying Harry and the gang more than enough time to hunt down the remaining Horcruxes (preventing Voldemort returning entirely) and at the very least prepare. The only issue is that with Harry then being the last remaining Horcrux himself, then preventing Voldemort's return is nigh impossible. But since Voldemort lacked any knowledge of this Horcrux he inadvertently created... As soon as he did return and kill Harry, he would also be killing himself. At that point, Voldemort has already lost. He would never achieve immortality and whether he killed Harry or Harry died of old age. He was defeated. This is why that whole plot felt so forced. With Harry alone, they possessed the ultimate weapon against Voldemort. A capable sniffer dog for Horcruxes, and once those Horcruxes were destroyed. They won.
The real question is that if you get killed with horcruxes, someone still needs to revive you. But nobody would want to do that unless you have hundreds of death eaters
The thing is, most of the time u wouldn’t need an elaborate ressurection. Your soul could just go back into your own body and you’d be alive again, given that u heal whatever it was that killed u in the first place. But Voldemort was unable to do that because his original body was destroyed in the explosion caused by his spell backfiring off of Harry due to Lily’s protection.
While dueling a wizard who uses non-verbal spells, how would they counter it? I understand using Ligimency (like what Snape does), but is that the only method?
maybe just cast protego and hope for the best? you can identify some spells (for example, avada kedavra is green with a rushing sound, crucio red) so u may have some idea whats coming and how to block it if you have fast reflexes. but overall i dont think there is much u can do other than cast protego or conjure a shield or something. that is why it is much more effective to duel with non-verbal spells, as it is more difficult for your opponent to block them.
@@chetanvaidya768 nope it cannot be blocked by shield charms: "The only known counter-spell is sacrificial protection, which uses the power of love. However, one may dodge the green bolt, block it with a physical barrier, or by the use of Priori Incantatem. The Killing Curse is a conventionally unblockable curse; therefore shield charms would not be able to defend against it. " From Harry Potter wiki
The scene you quote where Dumbledore tells Snape about Harry having to die takes place during his sixth year at Hogwarts (remember the previous scene in the Pensieve where Snape complains that Dumbledore tells Harry so much in their private lessons but doesn't tell him, Snape, anything, so Dumbledore shares this with him as a response to that). Snape's choice not to kill Voldemort early on can't be based on a piece of knowledge he doesn't recieve until years later. I had thought this video would adress the question why Snape didn't try to kill Voldemort while he was in his real body. Snape didn't know about the horcruxes, so he couldn't know that it wouldn't work.
An "alternate history" Harry Potter scenario I've come up with: On Halloween in 1981, Snape, wanting to make extra sure that Lily survives Voldemort's visit, secretly follows him to Godric's Hollow. Voldemort bursts into the Potters' house and quickly murders James Potter, as in canon. Lily desperately pleads for Harry's life and puts herself in Voldemort's way. Just before he kills her, as he did canonically, Snape hits him from behind with the Killing Curse, depriving him of a physical form and forcing him to flee. Snape then comforts Lily as best he can and summons help. Snape becomes a hero, admired by good witches and wizards and feared by dark ones. With a suddenly much better life, he loses some of the bitterness that was his trademark in canon. He is still very proud and quite prickly, but is not to the degree he was before. A couple of years afterward, Lily and Snape are married, and Harry becomes his stepson. I think it would be fascinating to see how Harry's life turned out from there. I would expect that his childhood would be much better than being raised by the Dursleys. True, Snape would dislike Harry, as Harry was very similar to James in both appearance and personality, and if Snape and Lily had children of their own, Snape would show shameless favoritism toward them, but Lily would still be around, and she wouldn't let Snape be TOO awful to Harry (or vice versa).
One thing I'm still confused is that if Harry had died without Tom killing him, the Horcrux wouldn't been destroyed? So only Tom could have destroyed the Horcrux, right?
No, I think anyone could have destroyed the horcrux by killing Harry. The reason Dumbledore wanted Voldemort to do it was because Harry wouldn't have died, since his mother's protection still existed in Voldemort. If, for example, Bellatrix Lestrange hit Harry with the killing curse, Harry would have actually died.
This is totally unrelated to the video's discussion.....but lately, I've been hearing your videos, not only 'cause I'n a Harry Potter fan, but because your voice soooooothes me!!🙂 For good!😌😌 Just wanted to mention!🙌❤
What I always wondered about legitimacy and occlumency is you would think if someone was trying to get a read on another person's mind they would be able to tell if they were being blocked or closed out. But it seems that people who use legitimacy cannot tell when someone is using occlumency against them.
Snape didn't block his mind from Voldemort. He would have gotten suspicious. Snape created fake memories in his mind for him to see. How great is that? It's a wonder the poor man didn't have migraines all the time! Severus was a really exceptional wizard.
I have a doubt and hope someone will solve it. 1) If voldemort distributed his soul in 7 parts, so there must be only 6 horcrux and one part of soul living in voldemort himself. 2) Voldemort did die once when he tried to kill infant harry, so he then used one part of his soul in some of his horcrux(not does actually but a part of his soul that was present inside voldemort was destroyed). Does that means that thing which was a horcrux will not be a horcrux anymore as the part is soul it possessed was now voldemort who was wandering?
His soul wasn't destroyed, that's the whole point of a horcrux. They don't let your soul pass on to the afterlife. The wandering soul was the one in Voldemort's body that was destroyed.
"If Snape had killed Voldemort prematurely, it would have only delayed the inevitable." - yes, but it would gave Harry some extra time to practice, to get everything properly explained by Dumbledore, and to destroy horcruxes in less stress, so it would be win-win. On the other hand, knowing Dumbledore and his attitude, Harry would probably not know everything anyway, and the longer he would had stay alive in good condition (and avoided all the mess in the wizarding world caused by Voldemort's ressurection), the less he would have been Dumbledore's useful tool, the less pressure he would've been feeling, and had become more and more independent. And Dumbledre would had probably put on this cursed ring and die anyway.
Why didn't Dumbledore give the Horcrux task to another more competent wizard (not that Harry isn't). Maybe someone like McGonagall , who wouldn't have any other agendas (and someone who Dumbledore could trust with his life)
Maybe because Harry would be one of the few who truly understood the importance and meaning behind it, since it affected him most personally. But with that in mind I feel like Neville should have been in on it as well! Since he was the other option from the prophecy.
Didn't wizards show a natural defense against physical harm? Wasn't Neville thrown out a window and bounced. You frequently saw them falling off brooms at speed with no lasting damage. Maybe their magic would passively protect against guns.
The real question is why didn't Dumbledore go full scorched earth on Voldemort in the very beginning of the first war? After all not only was he the master of the elder wand, but he also defeated Grindelwald who was the wands master at the time. Not to mention the fact old voldy was scared of Dumbledore.
Two reasons: 1. Dumbledore was old and Voldemort was young, by comparison. Voldemort was able to keep up with Dumbledore, who had the elder wand. Albiet this Dumbledore was also weakened by the curse. I imagine they did cross paths a few times, as that's probably the only way somebody could 'defy' Voldemort and survive, if Dumbledore was by their side. The only way to justify it beyond Dumbledore just being lazy or idle, is that Voldemort is stronger. Which actually can check, because in the series, it was never stated that Dumbledore was the most powerful. It was stated that he was "the greatest wizard in the world" by Harry and others, but greatest does not mean the one with the most raw power, and I suppose you'd have to exam what they mean by "wizard" and all that, but it leaves room to be implied Voldemort does indeed have more power and can outlast Dumbledore in a duel, if he cannot outclass him altogether. 2. JK Rowling didn't write Dumbledore to be the chosen one so therefore only the protagonist can defeat the antagonist.
I haven't watched the video yet but based on the title I'm going to say because of the prophecy. "Neither can live while the other survives" It wouldn't really buy any time because the second wizarding war already begun, therefore the Voldemort had returned, all the horcruxes weren't destroyed and Voldemort wouldn't actually die in the hands of Snape. Also, when Voldemort returned I'd see it foolish that he would have discarded the potion that resurrected him so if anything, I dare say if Snape in theory HAD have "killed" Voldemort to buy time, he would only return once again almost instantly and Snape would have known he was to be killed (Snape clearly unaware he was going to be murdered any way)
I like these other theories and honestly i would like to see the different paths it could go. I would like to see the creation of horcruxes (but only by Voldemorts hand), how he did find the boundaries of dark magic etc... I like the HP series a bit darker. We were kids at the time, but we all have grown and i would like to watch a more adult movie about these topics. Voldemort meeting Nagini is also something i want to see. Something i was wishful for with the Fantastic Beasts franchise but with the removal of JD, i refuse to watch them in the cinema!
When Snape realized that Voldemort was about to kill him I don’t understand why he didn’t try to defend himself...sure, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Voldemort but Snape of all people would have been able to put up a better fight than most...I don’t get why he just stood there and let it happen.
Dumbledore told Harry (I think in Half-Blood Prince) that he assumed Voldemort had done something like Horcruxes or similar to achieve immortality after Harry first told him about how he encountered Riddle and the diary in Chamber of Secrets. So I assume that Dumbledore must have warned Snape not to do anything reckless (like trying to kill Voldemort) even if Voldemort was at a weaker state at the time. Also, besides that, Dumbledore and Snape knew about the prophecy and Dumbledore knew that Harry had to be the one to end Voldemort, so, again, he must have told Snape not to do anything. It also would have blown his cover as a double-agent, and I believe that Dumbledore had it all planned out (his own death, how and when Harry would fight Voldemort etc.) so Snape blowing his cover would be disastrous to his plan.
Here's a question. Did Snape or other turncoat Deatheaters know he made horcruxes? If they did, why didn't they tell the ministry so they could be hunted down and destroyed? If they did, why didn't the ministry find and destroy them? If they didn't, why didn't Slughorn publicly speak about it and push Dumbledore and the Order to find and destroy them in the 80's before he could return?
What you mean? Severus took anti venom [Honey badger] and then never died. Then on the final battle between Voldemort and Harry, Snape sneaked behind Voldy and shot him in the head and killed him. Then Snape took Harry's invisible cloak and time travel watch and went back to time when Dumbledore was recruiting Tom Riddle and Avaca Dabrad Tom and killed him. Thus preventing Voldemort from happening and everyone lived. Oh, did I forget to mention that the candles in hogwarts drips wax and falls on the students below.
@@mikescholer1995 It was stated by Dumbledore himself that the prophecy means nothing, should the ones involved disregard it. Also it was said that many (most?) prophecies in this universe have never been fulfiled. No, there had to be a practical reasob, Dumbledore didn't care about the prophecy. Sad thing is it's just one more of many unexplained cases.
It's too bad that we never hear anything about the deceased in the years after the war. I mean, was there never a yearly memorial for the victims of the war? The only one that seemed to matter was Dumbledore it seemed. I for one would love to know where the fallen have been buried, especially Snape.
What gets me is that Snape would have been the perfect assassin. Use a trick to get a free but known death eater (like Lucius) alone somewhere, unknown to the others, give them veritaserum to get the truth about their allegiance, and kill the ones who were loyal to Voldemort and erase the memories of the interrogation of those who really were under the imperius curse. Then hide the body. Use this method slowly over the intervening years until the number of free death eaters are too small to matter, and when Wormtail brings Voldy back, play it cool by saying he was spared because he pretended to be a double agent to Dumbledore and thus protected by Dumbledore and then use the same method to slowly whittle down the numbers of death eaters freed from Azkaban by Voldy, making the scenes look like battles and ambushes by Order members (obviously faking some Order members deaths to lend credence to the cover story) and maybe even fake his own death near the end. As long as Snape didn't kill Voldy himself, and allowed Harry to sacrifice himself, Voldy would still lose because the horcrux in Harry would be gone, Voldys body would be destroyed, he wouldn't have followers left to bring him back, and making the hunt for the rest of the horcruxes almost easy.
The question isn’t “why didn’t Snape do that?”. The question is “WHY THE F*** WOULD SNAPE DO THAT?!” There is NO clear advantage to be gained and no good reason to do so. It would out him as a spy, Voldemort’s allies now KNOW that he can come back from the dead and would be much more likely to look for him and revive him, and even if the horcruxes were destroyed while Voldemort was a wraith(or whatever the f he was after getting hit with a killing curse the first time), it might not finish off the wraith. There’s just too many unknowns to risk it.
j same problems. Snape KNEW that Voldemort couldn’t die as long as Harry was still a horcrux, he knew that he had to get to Harry and tell him about that. So killing Voldemort there wouldn’t finish him off.
@@hellodumplings8564 there is no guarantee that finishing off all the horcruxes while Voldemort was in his barely alive wraith form would destroy said wraith. Additionally, with his forces KNOWING of his ability to return from death, they'd be more likely to seek him out and resurrect him, and he'd be able to make new horcruxes if he wished. There was no advantage to killing Voldemort there.
Darth Knightwing Phoenix you do know it took them years to resurrect him, right? And once they do all horcruxes would be destroyed and the good ones would have a major advantage. And besides, it’s obvious destroying the horcruxes wouldn’t immediately kill him, a final blow is still needed and they all know that. Try using your brain properly, please.
I just put it down to basically - it wasn't his job. If he attacked voldemort and it failed snape dies. Or snape survives but his cover is blown, he can't guarantee voldemorts death but he can guarantee information
My question is "how were the dursleys protected from the 2nd wizarding war"? Ik they left privat drive but where did they go.. cuz all the DEATHeaters were searching a way to harm or capture harry's close circles...
im assuming they hid them similarly to how they hid sirius in grimmauld place. they probably did the charm to make their hiding place unplottable and made a secret keeper so no one could find the place unless told. then they probably hid the secret keeper in the hidden place with the dursleys (the secret keeper was likely one of their guards) so that no one could find the secret keeper, therefore not find the hiding place.
Does returning to life destroy the horcrux? The soul would have to leave the object into the new body right? In the chamber of secrets the horcrux made him a new body, but before he fully materialized and gained a full body for the soul to move into, the horcrux was destroyed. Voldemort never died when the curse rebounded he was just stripped of a mortal form until quirrel found him and he attached himself to his head, he never actually died until the end of book 1. So if im right and he was targeted by the killing curse I believe it would've resulted in a dead horcrux. Granted it would still delay the ultimate encounter 1-2 years (based on how long the diary took to activate.) Though if he was killed repeatedly then harry would just become voldemort in due time.
Here is a very simple sollution to prevent Voldemort from regaining his body, destroy the bones of his father an to be sure grand father. with them gone the potion can never be used on him again
Why didn't Voldy Moldy just use single grains of sand as horcruxes, and tossed each one in a different part of the ocean? Unless someone had come up with a kind of "Soul Detector", those grains of sand would be nigh impossible to find, let alone, destroy. He didn't have to go the way of showing off by using a bunch of well known objects out of pure pettiness. That was Light's issue too in Death Note. He wanted to be all big and grand about killing people, instead of just offing them by ONLY accidents and illness, that way, there wouldn't have been any suspicion on him in the first place, because then, the deaths would have been chalked up as mere coincidences. It's official: Narcissism gets the bad guys killed. Not so much strategy or followers. Lesson: Even as a bad guy, a bit of humility might just bring your twisted visions into fruition. 😑
Why not just go to the graveyard and destroy the remains of the Riddle family? I mean, it's cruel and very anti-culture, but... it's to prevent Voldemort from coming back. If there are no 'bones of the father' to use, the potion won't work.
Why didn’t anyone use a time turner (literally a time machine) to go back in time and kill baby Tom Riddle? Or, if you’re ethically opposed. Just use a time turner and prevent Slughorn from telling Riddle what horcruxes were and how to make them?
Something I never understood... the night of Lilly's murder. The curse backfires, Voldemort "dies"... did he just disappear or was there a body found? If there wasn't, how would anyone know what happened? There was no one alive to tell, besides Harry. If he just disappeared, what happened to the body, since Voldi was merely a spirit, not really a physical being. If they found the body, what happened to it? How tf do they know what exactly happened? Did they tap into Harry's mind?
I partially have an issue with this in regards to the horcrux’s. If snape did kill Voldemort he would be brought back with the horcrux’s... but that would also assume that the death eaters knew where they all were correct. Lucius had the diary and bellatrix had the cup and Nagini was with Voldemort... other than that I believe the rest of them were lost to most if not all death eaters. The diadem in the room of requirement would have more than likely never been found unless another parseltongue emerged later on but they would also have to have a need for the room to show itself. I believe the castle knew the horcrux was in there. It’s magic after all and if a hat can have thoughts and intelligence why can’t the castle itself? I do believe they said “it’s like hog warts WANTS us to fight back”. That being said I believe that the castle only revealed the come and go room to Harry at a later point in time because he had a need for it which was to find the diadem and destroy it. That being said I do not believe the castle would have revealed the room to the alleged parseltongue in the future if they had the intent on using the diadem to revive Voldemort. That’s just one example. Also... I can’t remember but the understanding of the Primus of a horcrux is that the fragmented soul is apart of the item it is possible to consider it in the realm of the living correct? If we roll with that do you believe that Avada Kedavra could have been used on any of the horcrux’s especially Nagini since Nagini was alive?
Can Uçtum how so? Because if they could just escape the item I don’t understand why they (being a part of Voldemort’s soul and Voldemort feeling and knowing when a horcrux was destroyed meaning the other horcrux’s would know one or more were destroyed and would be cognizant to be cautious moving forward) didn’t just leave their object and attach to a living creature like in the beginning to Quirrel or even to Voldemort’s dead body from the very beginning.
Can Uçtum also if the horcrux’s knew they were in danger (like each one was after the previous one was destroyed) and we know that they know when they are in danger because they react and try and protect themselves... why not just fly away? Also, they would have to have something suitable to attach to when they left.
Snape was a master occlumens and Voldemort was a master legilimens. If Voldemort couldn't read Snape's mind, why would he trust him? When using Occlumency to prevent legilimency what would the mind reader read? Example I'm really thinking about killing Voldemort, would Voldemort read a different thought? Being thought blocked, or would he be completely cast out of Snape's mind?
I am glad i'm not the only die hard Harry Potter fan whom is more than aware of the fact Snape is by far powerful, agile and skilled enough to destroy Voldermorts new body and slow him down. Without the horcruxes he may even be able to defeat Tom with his skills and he can too also fly without a wand, is immune to occlumency and has an array of spells voldermorts was taught by Snape. Voldermort is more powerful than Snape due to his ability to tap into extremely dark magic like horcruxes but in terms of magical potential Snapes actually right behind him very closely and in some instances ahead of Tom in magical abilities. however Snape is one of those wizarding world exceptions whom could give Voldermort hell and exploit a mistake and beat him there and then. Dumnbledore, Bellatrix, Kingsly, Snape, Madeye, Gellart and even Sirius were exceptionally powerful magical users and all capible of defeating the other in the right setting. But Snape is above even Bellatrix and Kingsly so he is more than a threat to Voldermort.
I would watch a whole Snape origin movie...really show his Motive, his love for Lilly and fighting the marauders after being bullied..
Same. Or read a book series of his hogwarts life as a student. Why he did certain things, like follow the Marauders, became friends with the death eater wannabes, the bullying he recieved from the marauders and his relationships with Lily's family and the rest of the hogwarts students plus the professors.

Technically... If Voldemort got killed about 206 times, then he'd have no more father's bones to use.
Or just... You know... Destroy the bones.
That potion was only one method of returning.
@@alexc5369 Coincidentally, the potion was brought up because Voldemort knew it and told Wormtail. Noone else really came with the idea or probably even knew about the potion. So since that's the only thing that the death eaters know of right now, destroying the bones destroys the main/now easiest and most spread method of returning. So if that's gone, it's back to the way it was before the 4th part where he comes back. As in noone really knows what to do and Voldy would have to save the day as always.
Lol and oof
it could still be applied that bone of the father could also be his grandfather and his father before that
bruh you're a fkin genius lmao
I admit I didn't like snape the first time I read the books.but the more I learn about him the more I respect him, and realize just how clever and powerful he really was,it wasn't fair to Harry to be treated so poorly,but partly he was making sure Draco and,the others in is house believed he hated Harry , and his friends.
Snape is such a depressing character for this reason. The most literal description of an unsung hero in my eyes, dude had to act that way and he had no choice if he wanted to be a spy. And he did it all for love.
@Rudra Baku Yeah he went from 99% asshole in the books to a simply sarcastic teacher in the movies
@Rudra Baku I also like how the movies manages to portray Snape's mild abuse to Harry and Ron quite entertaining
He treated Neville worse I'd argue. More important, book Snape DID hate Harry. It wasn't an act for Draco's sake
He did actually hate harry because of James

Hello, can you please do a video about what makes a Witch or Wizard more "powerful" than others? Dumbledore (even without the Elder wand) is undeniably "powerful" but whats to stop, say 5th year Neville from being just as powerful? Sure your knowledge of spells and arsenal of charms would distinguish Hermione from Ron for example, but a spell is just a spell regardless of the caster is it not?
This was Rowling's fault. Quirrell did wandless magic when he tied Harry up in book 1. I assume Voldemort used power. Wandless magic is only shown a couple more times. You never saw a full power Voldemort do it. That's why I like fanfics better than the books. I love the world and the foundation and the characters but imagine how good the series would've been if Rowling had written at least the later ones with a military minded author who was awesome at writing battle scenes and powerful magic. At the time, I was impressed with the duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore. Now it is boring because in effect, it wasn't powerful. There was no wandless magic or anything. Dumbledore took down a bunch of Death Eaters but considering they weren't putting up shields to avoid stunners from teens, that is not that impressive. Bellatrix did the most when she took down four Snatchers. We never get a scene like that with Voldemort. The movies are the only things that are somewhat satisfying for the final battle. The story makes sense for how Harry won but Voldemort is a dark lord. Come on!
I personally thought about it a lot and i think what makes one stronger than other must include a lot of things together but most importantly the will to become stronger and focus(or u might say the mental power someone puts while casting the spells) also the relation b/w the user & the wand is a factor too
A spell is not just a spell regardless of the caster, the effectiveness or the consequences depend on how powerful the caster is. This is something at least you should know after reading Harry Potter.😑😑
I know it's a terrible comparison, and I hated when the prequel Star Wars trilogy introduced the concept, but I imagine it is similar to the midi-chlorians in Star Wars. Due to certain factors, I imagine certain wizards just have more magic in their DNA. Voldemort and Dumbledore were clearly the Vader and Luke of the Harry Potter universe. They are two wizards who have an innate and biological connection to the essence of magic
I just want the channel owner to just read all of the Harry Potter books to me. I've read them all numerous times but I would listen to his wonderful voice to hear the stories again.
Love this channel but technically Snape wasn’t “Good all along”. He became a double agent and protected Harry because of his love for Lily. That’s it. Had Neville had actually been the chosen one, Snape would have been no better than Malfoy. The only difference is he would have most likely served Voldemort until the bitter end.
Actually, if Snape was with Voldemort, Harry would have died and Voldemort would have won
Then therr would have been no chance for the light side to win
@@rhupeshs1649 Reading comprehension not your thing then
@@sageseeker9197 I don't really get what you are saying
Well, we know the Wizards and ties to the muggle government. Maybe slipping Snape a GPD tracker and then dropping the UK equivalent of a MOAB on the next Death Eater meeting would have been a thought. You might not keep Voldy down long but you would clean out a lot of his Death Eater support making him easier to deal with.
I guess this is why I don't write children's books.
Imagine that Harry, Ron and Hermione could not find some of the horcruxes so they had to kill Voldemort several times and then just wait akwardly till he resurrects.
At harry and ginny's wedding:
Voldemort: I have returned once again to have my revenge harry potter!
Ron: wow what a wedding crasher.
Harry: hermione do you mind?
Hermione: I got this. AVADA KEDAVRA! there you go, enjoy the rest of your honey moon harry!
I often wondered this myself thank you for this great vid.
Anyone who read the books would know
I think it’s because if the horcrux is a living thing, like Harry or Nagini, you have to kill it to destroy the horcrux. Because the other Horcruxes were not alive, the instant the venom touched them, they were destroyed.
@@haroldinho9930 I read the books but it's been a very long time and you start to forget things after a while. Nice to have a refresher.
Turnip How did you not remember the Prophecy?
Voldemort was one of three most skilfull wizards in the 20th century. Snape was a powerfull and skillful wizard, he has cheated the Dark Lord with his Occlumency skills but...I think he wasn't enough powerful to kill his ex-master. And we know that killing Voldemort was impossible becaus of Horcruxes that Snape had no knowlege of.

Grandfather paradox haha!!!😆☺🤗
To bring him back in the form we know, they would have needed his fathers bones. But snape could have easily have taken care of that. But I guess there were other options for voldemort to getting a new body.
It would be pointless, as you said. Voldemort would come back, and his followers would know now that death cannot stop him, so it'd probably be even easier to do so. Plus, his new body might not have Harry's blood protection binding him to Harry, so it migth've gone differently when Voldemort inevitably kills him.
It would slow him down.
Here's the _real_ reason...Snape _couldn't_ kill Voldemort (and I'm not talking about because of the Horcruxes; I'm saying that Snape literally _couldn't_ destroy Voldemort's body.)
Why did Harry survive when Voldemort blasted him with a Killing Curse in the Dark Forest, but the soul fragment inside him _was_ destroyed? When Voldemort used the Dark Potion to restore his body, he purposefully chose Harry's blood as opposed to anyone else, to Bypass the Love Protection Spell - effectively, Harry's blood gave him a kind of "whitelist" to get him past Lilly's "firewall".
The protection was supposed to disappear when Harry turned 17 and no longer lived with Petunia Dursley at Privett Drive. However, because Voldy took Harry's blood, he -in a sense- became Harry's blood-relative, thus keeping the Blood Protection Alive. Meaning that no one would be able to kill Harry so long as Voldemort was still alive - he himself had sealed his own downfall in choosing Harry's blood, as now, he'd never be able to kill him.
_So_ by logic, that should mean that the protection now works _both ways._ The unintended consequence being that now that Voldy has Harry's (Lilly's) Blood going through him, he technically now falls under Lilly's Blood Protection Enchantment. It's why the Prophesy stipulates that either of them (Harry and Voldemort) must kill the other; because Voldy got Whitelisted, Harry in-turn was Whitelisted past _his protection_ as well.
Therefore, if anyone else but Harry tried to kill Voldemort, the curse would rebound back on them.
QED - Snape _couldn't_ Kill Voldemort.
Nice explanation but how did you write in italics?
@@SwxftXD Glad you asked,
_Quite simple really_
You simply take whatever phrase you wish to italicize - be it a word or a line of words - and you surround it with two underscores - like so _ _.
It should look something like "_This_" except without the quotation marks.
But that protection was made for Harry. So it wouldn’t work on Voldemort always. Besides, his ultimate downfall was achieved by other factors, including the elder wand.
@@GanonGhidorah _thanks_
_cool_
hmm, interesting point, i had always assumed this to be more on knowing where voldermort is. As in, while he is in a mortal/corporeal form, yes he has his power but he is still a single person, who can only be at a single place in time (obviously magic etc etc), but as long as you know where he is, you also know where he isn't. If you kill him, A) you don't know where, when or how he might come back and B) Voldermort is confident, he relishes in being with his death eaters and showing his power as he was in the front attacking Hogwarts (yes also because Dumblydor was dead), but if he was betrayed or even killed by an ally, he may not be so willing to be in the open, so even if you destroyed all of his soul fragments, you still need to kill 'him' and its hard to do that if you can't find him.
I do not think to cast the killing curse you need to feel the animosity that you'd need to cast the cruciatus curse. Harry used the Imperio Curse and didn't feel hatred or anger at the goblin he used nor the Death Eater Travers he controlled as well. To use the killing curse one needed powerful full grown magic to do it. Moody said it specifically about the killing curse, just as Bellatrix said it specifically about the torture curse, with details no less.
He meant to cast the Imperius Curse. There was no half hearted approach.. he knew that he had to cast it or risk exposing all of them.
The unforgiveable curses may be driven by intention. The raw willpower to kill, to torture, to control... I don't think that there's a lot of emotional involvement necessary
@@DecemberPark Cruciatus I believe is the real emotional one, you have to enjoy torturing. Snape in no way held animosity towards Dumbledore, but being powerful he could cast the spell.

Or Snape just knew about the prophecy and knows that it’s not up to him to kill lord Voldemort which is probably why Dumbledore didn’t directly go after Voldemort also 🤷🏾♂️ just saying
He could have slowed voldemort down.
That's a point. They should knew that they were not likely to make it according to the prophecy.
I need more fantastic beasts theories, I've been rewatching the first 2 and I'm filled with questions. Great video my guy.
Why did Voldemort's disembodied spirit flee all the way to a forest in Albania? That's a bit of a random place to go to. Why didn't he just hang out in Birmingham or something? His Death Eaters would have had a much better chance of finding him there.
Not a random place at all, Voldemort was very familiar with the forest in Albania as he spent years there searching for the Lost Diadem which he found and returned to Hogwarts on the day he had the interview for the DADA position.
Some theories suggest that "Albania" refers to Scotland, as back in the Middle Ages that was another name for Scotland. Additionally, Rowena Ravenclaw was from Scotland, so it would make sense for Helena to hide the diadem there. It's also less far away from Hogwarts. Now, note, this is a theory only. I can see some issues in it, but it's something to consider.
Rowling wanted some place that sounded remote
Ministry were rounding all the possible death eaters. Losing body as well as exposing the fact that he made horcrux would be far worse blow!
@@KnightsRealm98 I think you are confusing Albania with Albion.

They didnt actually know that Voldy had horcruxes until Slughorn's Memory was revealed in full, Dumbledore had suspicions but it wasn't confirmed - by the time they discovered this, Voldy was already back in a body for a year and a half.
they knew since the fake memory or even earlier when harry brought the diary whichever came first.
The question wasn't if voldy made horcruxes, it was how many? and where?
Could you do a video on why Voldemort had to be the one to kill the Horcrux inside Harry? Why wouldn't anyone else be able to do it?
I've been asking myself the same question for years... 😅
I think the reason why Dumbledore wanted Voldemort to do it himself is not that nobody else could destroy the Horcrux, but that this was Harry's one chance to survive the destruction of the Horcrux. The Horcrux inside him felt the presence of the rest of Voldemort's soul and reacted to it when threatened. Dumbledore anticipated that there was a chance that if Harry faced Voldemort willing to let him kill him and not resisting, the Horcrux would rise to defend itself and thereby unintentionally take the blow for him. In book 6, when Dumbledore and Harry discuss the suspicion that Nagini is a Horcrux, Dumbledore states that normally it would be foolish to make a living thing a Horcrux, because it lives and moves around and is in so much more danger than a heavily defended object Horcrux and that Voldemort only dared to do that because he knew he had plenty of backups.
@@chrisrudolf9839 Why didn't the Horcrux defend him before tho? While he was drowning in the lake during the second task, or when the locket tried killing him.(or the numerous other times he almost does)
Voldemort can't kill Harry because he has Lilly's protection in his veins
@@Elne9 That's the correct answer.
Snape is simply to smart to act out of desperation... But with that said, i do believe he would not hesitate for a second to kill Voldemort if he absolutely had to. Like, if he had to do so to keep the plan in motion. Buying Hary and extra week or so is of no real help. But buying Harry time when it's about to run out i could totally see. Trough it all Snape remains calm and collected. I think he has a pretty good grasp of the situation trough out. It is true, Snape was the bravest one of them all. And not only that, he was probably the strongest one of them all. Not only did he dare lie straight to Voldemort's face for years. Not only did he make himself one of the most hated Wizards in the world for the cause.... But he also served the man that killed the only person Snape ever loved. I'm sure deep within Snape there was more the enough hate dor Voldemort to kill him without a moments hesitation. But Snape was allways collected and calm. He served his role flawlessly. Probably the most loyal ''soldier'' Dumbledore had. The bravest and probably one of the most important weapons in the war against Voldemort. In the end, Harry was simply walking a path layd out for him. He was a pawn in a much larger game of chess... Snape was also a pawn. But he was also a player. Because he moved things along. So when Dumbledore died Snape took over the game in his place. It's pretty Amazing when you think of it. Snape is the glue that held everything together to the very end. Had it not been for snape i'm sure they would have lost. Like seriously, the more you think about it... Snape is the best character in Harry Potter. And not only that, one of the best characters in fiction. Seriously gonna have to watch trough the movies again soon. I used to watch each movie for Harry and i viewed it as Harry's journey. But ever since the story ended i've sort of changed my view of it. It's not so much Harry's journey anymore. It's watching Snape's journey in the backround. The clues where allways there since the very first film. Like he was literally sitting right next to Voldemort and trying to save Harry in the first film. In the third film as much as it seems like he hates Harry, he literaly pushed Harry, Ron And Hermione behind himself while he stood face to face with Lupin as a Werewolf. Like, he literally threw himself right infront of a Blood thirsty monster to save Harry and his friends. He wasn't playing a part there. He was simply saving Harry's life. Snape was a hard character to read trough and trough. But when you go back you can tell that he was allways a man willing to die for a greater cause... In the name of someone he loved. Even if it meant also saving the son of a person he trouly couldn't stand for good reasons. I love Snape as a character. ''Allways'' will forever be one of my favorite lines... It could so easily have been cheesy and bad. But they made it work. Both in the books and in the films. Damn shame Alan Rickman never got a award for that role. The man owned that role. He is a pure Legend.
Monkey Powerkey I never understood why snake hated Harry because of his dad. Bad sure but lily was also his mother. He would at least be neutral.

Snape didn’t have access to Voldemort when he was in his rudimentary body prior to the night of the third task in goblet of fire. He didn’t even attend the death eater meeting in the graveyard. He spent time convincing Voldemort that he didn’t show up because it would’ve looked suspicious if he had disappeared from the school.

He could've bought more than a decade were Snape able to destroy Voldemort's body, or poisoned/paralyzed it so that it could no longer be used effectively.
Remember that when the killing curse rebounded off Lily shielding Harry, it both split Voldemort's soul (how Harry became a Horcrux) AND destroyed Voldemort's corporeal form. It was only until Harry's first year at Hogwarts was it revealed that Voldemort wasn't killed, and instead what remained of his soul latched onto Professor Quirrell. It was then a further 4 years before Wormtail managed to create a body alchemically.
Were Voldemort's body destroyed or made no longer viable by any means, the Wizarding World would potentially return to normal for a time. Many of the Death Eaters would abandon the cause again, become disorganized and reintegrate back into society. Others would be captured and imprisoned in Azkaban once more. Buying Harry and the gang more than enough time to hunt down the remaining Horcruxes (preventing Voldemort returning entirely) and at the very least prepare.
The only issue is that with Harry then being the last remaining Horcrux himself, then preventing Voldemort's return is nigh impossible. But since Voldemort lacked any knowledge of this Horcrux he inadvertently created... As soon as he did return and kill Harry, he would also be killing himself. At that point, Voldemort has already lost. He would never achieve immortality and whether he killed Harry or Harry died of old age. He was defeated.
This is why that whole plot felt so forced. With Harry alone, they possessed the ultimate weapon against Voldemort. A capable sniffer dog for Horcruxes, and once those Horcruxes were destroyed. They won.
Imagine if the last film would have finish with this sentence: “then he woke up in his room under the stairs”
All wasn't well.
I was wondering that all the time
Omg I've thought about it
Jk roling was a really good writer she would never end such a good book or movies with such a line
If that was the case, i would burn the whole book series and will curse the author for that. Lol.
The real question is that if you get killed with horcruxes, someone still needs to revive you. But nobody would want to do that unless you have hundreds of death eaters
Where is the question
The thing is, most of the time u wouldn’t need an elaborate ressurection. Your soul could just go back into your own body and you’d be alive again, given that u heal whatever it was that killed u in the first place. But Voldemort was unable to do that because his original body was destroyed in the explosion caused by his spell backfiring off of Harry due to Lily’s protection.
Real question is how he created this potion without testing???🤔
@@joroc He knew the recipe before his body was destroyed

While dueling a wizard who uses non-verbal spells, how would they counter it? I understand using Ligimency (like what Snape does), but is that the only method?
maybe just cast protego and hope for the best? you can identify some spells (for example, avada kedavra is green with a rushing sound, crucio red) so u may have some idea whats coming and how to block it if you have fast reflexes. but overall i dont think there is much u can do other than cast protego or conjure a shield or something. that is why it is much more effective to duel with non-verbal spells, as it is more difficult for your opponent to block them.
Can protego , helps in case of awada kedavra
@@chetanvaidya768 nope it cannot be blocked by shield charms:
"The only known counter-spell is sacrificial protection, which uses the power of love. However, one may dodge the green bolt, block it with a physical barrier, or by the use of Priori Incantatem. The Killing Curse is a conventionally unblockable curse; therefore shield charms would not be able to defend against it. "
From Harry Potter wiki
So plot armor varun lol
@@wadhwa6 but harry blocked it with Expeliarmus a few times quite successfully
The scene you quote where Dumbledore tells Snape about Harry having to die takes place during his sixth year at Hogwarts (remember the previous scene in the Pensieve where Snape complains that Dumbledore tells Harry so much in their private lessons but doesn't tell him, Snape, anything, so Dumbledore shares this with him as a response to that). Snape's choice not to kill Voldemort early on can't be based on a piece of knowledge he doesn't recieve until years later.
I had thought this video would adress the question why Snape didn't try to kill Voldemort while he was in his real body. Snape didn't know about the horcruxes, so he couldn't know that it wouldn't work.
An "alternate history" Harry Potter scenario I've come up with:
On Halloween in 1981, Snape, wanting to make extra sure that Lily survives Voldemort's visit, secretly follows him to Godric's Hollow. Voldemort bursts into the Potters' house and quickly murders James Potter, as in canon. Lily desperately pleads for Harry's life and puts herself in Voldemort's way. Just before he kills her, as he did canonically, Snape hits him from behind with the Killing Curse, depriving him of a physical form and forcing him to flee. Snape then comforts Lily as best he can and summons help. Snape becomes a hero, admired by good witches and wizards and feared by dark ones. With a suddenly much better life, he loses some of the bitterness that was his trademark in canon. He is still very proud and quite prickly, but is not to the degree he was before. A couple of years afterward, Lily and Snape are married, and Harry becomes his stepson. I think it would be fascinating to see how Harry's life turned out from there. I would expect that his childhood would be much better than being raised by the Dursleys. True, Snape would dislike Harry, as Harry was very similar to James in both appearance and personality, and if Snape and Lily had children of their own, Snape would show shameless favoritism toward them, but Lily would still be around, and she wouldn't let Snape be TOO awful to Harry (or vice versa).
One thing I'm still confused is that if Harry had died without Tom killing him, the Horcrux wouldn't been destroyed? So only Tom could have destroyed the Horcrux, right?
i think yes, but the fact that harry survived was just a bookcanon convinience
No, I think anyone could have destroyed the horcrux by killing Harry. The reason Dumbledore wanted Voldemort to do it was because Harry wouldn't have died, since his mother's protection still existed in Voldemort. If, for example, Bellatrix Lestrange hit Harry with the killing curse, Harry would have actually died.
@@jasontylerjungreis6546 Thanks mate, that cleared my head 👍
It wasn't exactly just his mom's protection.
This is totally unrelated to the video's discussion.....but lately, I've been hearing your videos, not only 'cause I'n a Harry Potter fan, but because your voice soooooothes me!!🙂 For good!😌😌
Just wanted to mention!🙌❤
What I always wondered about legitimacy and occlumency is you would think if someone was trying to get a read on another person's mind they would be able to tell if they were being blocked or closed out. But it seems that people who use legitimacy cannot tell when someone is using occlumency against them.
Snape didn't block his mind from Voldemort. He would have gotten suspicious. Snape created fake memories in his mind for him to see. How great is that? It's a wonder the poor man didn't have migraines all the time! Severus was a really exceptional wizard.
I have a doubt and hope someone will solve it.
1) If voldemort distributed his soul in 7 parts, so there must be only 6 horcrux and one part of soul living in voldemort himself.
2) Voldemort did die once when he tried to kill infant harry, so he then used one part of his soul in some of his horcrux(not does actually but a part of his soul that was present inside voldemort was destroyed). Does that means that thing which was a horcrux will not be a horcrux anymore as the part is soul it possessed was now voldemort who was wandering?
His soul wasn't destroyed, that's the whole point of a horcrux. They don't let your soul pass on to the afterlife. The wandering soul was the one in Voldemort's body that was destroyed.
@@daphnejyothi4795 I see,
Thanks for your answer.
"If Snape had killed Voldemort prematurely, it would have only delayed the inevitable." - yes, but it would gave Harry some extra time to practice, to get everything properly explained by Dumbledore, and to destroy horcruxes in less stress, so it would be win-win. On the other hand, knowing Dumbledore and his attitude, Harry would probably not know everything anyway, and the longer he would had stay alive in good condition (and avoided all the mess in the wizarding world caused by Voldemort's ressurection), the less he would have been Dumbledore's useful tool, the less pressure he would've been feeling, and had become more and more independent. And Dumbledre would had probably put on this cursed ring and die anyway.
Great video keep up the great work!
Why didn't Dumbledore give the Horcrux task to another more competent wizard (not that Harry isn't). Maybe someone like McGonagall , who wouldn't have any other agendas (and someone who Dumbledore could trust with his life)
Maybe because Harry would be one of the few who truly understood the importance and meaning behind it, since it affected him most personally. But with that in mind I feel like Neville should have been in on it as well! Since he was the other option from the prophecy.
Couldn't you kill Voldemort in a "Muggle" way? Bellatrix stabbed Dobby 😥 & I know horcruxes can magically protect you, but what about non - magical?
I believe that is why wizards went into hiding from muggles is the invention of the gun
Horcruxes don’t actually protect you from attacks. They simply anchor the soul to this world, preventing it from passing on into the afterlife.
hold my atom bomb-
Didn't wizards show a natural defense against physical harm? Wasn't Neville thrown out a window and bounced. You frequently saw them falling off brooms at speed with no lasting damage. Maybe their magic would passively protect against guns.
Exactly. Neville could've just chopped off Voldemort's head with the sword instead of Nagini.
I always wanted to see someone do this with snape being so powerful and master and created spells im sure he had a chance to take on the dark lord.
Snape was so brave he defeated the Marauders
The real question is why didn't Dumbledore go full scorched earth on Voldemort in the very beginning of the first war? After all not only was he the master of the elder wand, but he also defeated Grindelwald who was the wands master at the time. Not to mention the fact old voldy was scared of Dumbledore.
Two reasons:
1. Dumbledore was old and Voldemort was young, by comparison. Voldemort was able to keep up with Dumbledore, who had the elder wand. Albiet this Dumbledore was also weakened by the curse. I imagine they did cross paths a few times, as that's probably the only way somebody could 'defy' Voldemort and survive, if Dumbledore was by their side.
The only way to justify it beyond Dumbledore just being lazy or idle, is that Voldemort is stronger. Which actually can check, because in the series, it was never stated that Dumbledore was the most powerful.
It was stated that he was "the greatest wizard in the world" by Harry and others, but greatest does not mean the one with the most raw power, and I suppose you'd have to exam what they mean by "wizard" and all that, but it leaves room to be implied Voldemort does indeed have more power and can outlast Dumbledore in a duel, if he cannot outclass him altogether.
2. JK Rowling didn't write Dumbledore to be the chosen one so therefore only the protagonist can defeat the antagonist.
I haven't watched the video yet but based on the title I'm going to say because of the prophecy. "Neither can live while the other survives"
It wouldn't really buy any time because the second wizarding war already begun, therefore the Voldemort had returned, all the horcruxes weren't destroyed and Voldemort wouldn't actually die in the hands of Snape. Also, when Voldemort returned I'd see it foolish that he would have discarded the potion that resurrected him so if anything, I dare say if Snape in theory HAD have "killed" Voldemort to buy time, he would only return once again almost instantly and Snape would have known he was to be killed (Snape clearly unaware he was going to be murdered any way)
Good work !
Keep up the great work
I like these other theories and honestly i would like to see the different paths it could go. I would like to see the creation of horcruxes (but only by Voldemorts hand), how he did find the boundaries of dark magic etc... I like the HP series a bit darker. We were kids at the time, but we all have grown and i would like to watch a more adult movie about these topics. Voldemort meeting Nagini is also something i want to see. Something i was wishful for with the Fantastic Beasts franchise but with the removal of JD, i refuse to watch them in the cinema!
When Snape realized that Voldemort was about to kill him I don’t understand why he didn’t try to defend himself...sure, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Voldemort but Snape of all people would have been able to put up a better fight than most...I don’t get why he just stood there and let it happen.
Dumbledore told Harry (I think in Half-Blood Prince) that he assumed Voldemort had done something like Horcruxes or similar to achieve immortality after Harry first told him about how he encountered Riddle and the diary in Chamber of Secrets. So I assume that Dumbledore must have warned Snape not to do anything reckless (like trying to kill Voldemort) even if Voldemort was at a weaker state at the time. Also, besides that, Dumbledore and Snape knew about the prophecy and Dumbledore knew that Harry had to be the one to end Voldemort, so, again, he must have told Snape not to do anything. It also would have blown his cover as a double-agent, and I believe that Dumbledore had it all planned out (his own death, how and when Harry would fight Voldemort etc.) so Snape blowing his cover would be disastrous to his plan.
can anyone tell me what book/chapter these lines are from on *4:58*
Here's a question. Did Snape or other turncoat Deatheaters know he made horcruxes? If they did, why didn't they tell the ministry so they could be hunted down and destroyed? If they did, why didn't the ministry find and destroy them?
If they didn't, why didn't Slughorn publicly speak about it and push Dumbledore and the Order to find and destroy them in the 80's before he could return?
Keep up the good content
What you mean? Severus took anti venom [Honey badger] and then never died.
Then on the final battle between Voldemort and Harry, Snape sneaked behind Voldy and shot him in the head and killed him.
Then Snape took Harry's invisible cloak and time travel watch and went back to time when Dumbledore was recruiting Tom Riddle and Avaca Dabrad Tom and killed him. Thus preventing Voldemort from happening and everyone lived.
Oh, did I forget to mention that the candles in hogwarts drips wax and falls on the students below.
I just finished watching Harry potter again and I'm balling my eyes out
I wonder why it was never actually explained, why it was Voldemort, who had to kill Harry.
Czarek Duparek One must die by the hand of the other.
So only Voldemort was able to kill Harry and thus the Horcrux inside Harry.
@@mikescholer1995 It was stated by Dumbledore himself that the prophecy means nothing, should the ones involved disregard it. Also it was said that many (most?) prophecies in this universe have never been fulfiled. No, there had to be a practical reasob, Dumbledore didn't care about the prophecy. Sad thing is it's just one more of many unexplained cases.
Severus Snape is such a legend
In first movie who thought he was a vilon
It's too bad that we never hear anything about the deceased in the years after the war.
I mean, was there never a yearly memorial for the victims of the war?
The only one that seemed to matter was Dumbledore it seemed.
I for one would love to know where the fallen have been buried, especially Snape.
Technically if you have like 5 more hocruxes aren't you basically immortal? Dumbledore said a hoxrux make u immortal until your hoxruses are destroyed
He probably knew he needed to kill Harry before trying to kill Voldemort so it would work but he couldn’t kill Harry
What gets me is that Snape would have been the perfect assassin. Use a trick to get a free but known death eater (like Lucius) alone somewhere, unknown to the others, give them veritaserum to get the truth about their allegiance, and kill the ones who were loyal to Voldemort and erase the memories of the interrogation of those who really were under the imperius curse. Then hide the body. Use this method slowly over the intervening years until the number of free death eaters are too small to matter, and when Wormtail brings Voldy back, play it cool by saying he was spared because he pretended to be a double agent to Dumbledore and thus protected by Dumbledore and then use the same method to slowly whittle down the numbers of death eaters freed from Azkaban by Voldy, making the scenes look like battles and ambushes by Order members (obviously faking some Order members deaths to lend credence to the cover story) and maybe even fake his own death near the end. As long as Snape didn't kill Voldy himself, and allowed Harry to sacrifice himself, Voldy would still lose because the horcrux in Harry would be gone, Voldys body would be destroyed, he wouldn't have followers left to bring him back, and making the hunt for the rest of the horcruxes almost easy.
The question isn’t “why didn’t Snape do that?”. The question is “WHY THE F*** WOULD SNAPE DO THAT?!” There is NO clear advantage to be gained and no good reason to do so. It would out him as a spy, Voldemort’s allies now KNOW that he can come back from the dead and would be much more likely to look for him and revive him, and even if the horcruxes were destroyed while Voldemort was a wraith(or whatever the f he was after getting hit with a killing curse the first time), it might not finish off the wraith. There’s just too many unknowns to risk it.
If Snape tried to kill him during the battle of Hogwarts?
j same problems. Snape KNEW that Voldemort couldn’t die as long as Harry was still a horcrux, he knew that he had to get to Harry and tell him about that. So killing Voldemort there wouldn’t finish him off.
Darth Knightwing Phoenix but it would’ve bought enough time to seek the rest of horcruxes effortlessly.
@@hellodumplings8564 there is no guarantee that finishing off all the horcruxes while Voldemort was in his barely alive wraith form would destroy said wraith. Additionally, with his forces KNOWING of his ability to return from death, they'd be more likely to seek him out and resurrect him, and he'd be able to make new horcruxes if he wished. There was no advantage to killing Voldemort there.
Darth Knightwing Phoenix you do know it took them years to resurrect him, right? And once they do all horcruxes would be destroyed and the good ones would have a major advantage. And besides, it’s obvious destroying the horcruxes wouldn’t immediately kill him, a final blow is still needed and they all know that. Try using your brain properly, please.
I just put it down to basically - it wasn't his job. If he attacked voldemort and it failed snape dies. Or snape survives but his cover is blown, he can't guarantee voldemorts death but he can guarantee information
Awesome video
My question is "how were the dursleys protected from the 2nd wizarding war"? Ik they left privat drive but where did they go.. cuz all the DEATHeaters were searching a way to harm or capture harry's close circles...
im assuming they hid them similarly to how they hid sirius in grimmauld place. they probably did the charm to make their hiding place unplottable and made a secret keeper so no one could find the place unless told. then they probably hid the secret keeper in the hidden place with the dursleys (the secret keeper was likely one of their guards) so that no one could find the secret keeper, therefore not find the hiding place.
Does returning to life destroy the horcrux? The soul would have to leave the object into the new body right? In the chamber of secrets the horcrux made him a new body, but before he fully materialized and gained a full body for the soul to move into, the horcrux was destroyed.
Voldemort never died when the curse rebounded he was just stripped of a mortal form until quirrel found him and he attached himself to his head, he never actually died until the end of book 1.
So if im right and he was targeted by the killing curse I believe it would've resulted in a dead horcrux. Granted it would still delay the ultimate encounter 1-2 years (based on how long the diary took to activate.) Though if he was killed repeatedly then harry would just become voldemort in due time.
Here is a very simple sollution to prevent Voldemort from regaining his body, destroy the bones of his father an to be sure grand father. with them gone the potion can never be used on him again
What's the name of the track playing in the video?
Great job 👍
Snape was following Dumbledore’s orders at that point, so chances are he was never ordered to do said theory.
Why didn't Voldy Moldy just use single grains of sand as horcruxes, and tossed each one in a different part of the ocean? Unless someone had come up with a kind of "Soul Detector", those grains of sand would be nigh impossible to find, let alone, destroy. He didn't have to go the way of showing off by using a bunch of well known objects out of pure pettiness. That was Light's issue too in Death Note. He wanted to be all big and grand about killing people, instead of just offing them by ONLY accidents and illness, that way, there wouldn't have been any suspicion on him in the first place, because then, the deaths would have been chalked up as mere coincidences. It's official: Narcissism gets the bad guys killed. Not so much strategy or followers. Lesson: Even as a bad guy, a bit of humility might just bring your twisted visions into fruition. 😑
Dumbledore did not know about the horcruxes so killing voldemort earlier would be no use
Yes but most of the death eaters didnt know about horcruxes either so , he wouldnt of come back that fast.
Here’s my question: Why didn’t Harry try to kill Voldemort in the graveyard during the Goblet of Fire?
Harry couldn’t kill someone, he just couldn’t, because he’s too pure, and he isn’t powerful enough to use the killing curse
Nexim Reducto, Bombarda Maxima, other spells could’ve caused some pain
Harry was 14 and didn't know how to use the killing curse. He barely escaped himself.
He could not because he still had the same wond as harry
We will cover this soon!
A good question, and an excellent answer!
Video request:
What would've happened if shape wasn't killed by Voldemort?
When you start watching because the question sounds totally silly but it’s a renowned fandom channel
Why not just go to the graveyard and destroy the remains of the Riddle family?
I mean, it's cruel and very anti-culture, but... it's to prevent Voldemort from coming back. If there are no 'bones of the father' to use, the potion won't work.
That's only one method of coming back there are others but that one is the quickest so you'd save a bit of time
Why didn’t anyone use a time turner (literally a time machine) to go back in time and kill baby Tom Riddle?
Or, if you’re ethically opposed. Just use a time turner and prevent Slughorn from telling Riddle what horcruxes were and how to make them?
Something I never understood... the night of Lilly's murder. The curse backfires, Voldemort "dies"... did he just disappear or was there a body found? If there wasn't, how would anyone know what happened? There was no one alive to tell, besides Harry. If he just disappeared, what happened to the body, since Voldi was merely a spirit, not really a physical being. If they found the body, what happened to it? How tf do they know what exactly happened? Did they tap into Harry's mind?
I partially have an issue with this in regards to the horcrux’s. If snape did kill Voldemort he would be brought back with the horcrux’s... but that would also assume that the death eaters knew where they all were correct. Lucius had the diary and bellatrix had the cup and Nagini was with Voldemort... other than that I believe the rest of them were lost to most if not all death eaters. The diadem in the room of requirement would have more than likely never been found unless another parseltongue emerged later on but they would also have to have a need for the room to show itself. I believe the castle knew the horcrux was in there. It’s magic after all and if a hat can have thoughts and intelligence why can’t the castle itself? I do believe they said “it’s like hog warts WANTS us to fight back”. That being said I believe that the castle only revealed the come and go room to Harry at a later point in time because he had a need for it which was to find the diadem and destroy it. That being said I do not believe the castle would have revealed the room to the alleged parseltongue in the future if they had the intent on using the diadem to revive Voldemort. That’s just one example.
Also... I can’t remember but the understanding of the Primus of a horcrux is that the fragmented soul is apart of the item it is possible to consider it in the realm of the living correct? If we roll with that do you believe that Avada Kedavra could have been used on any of the horcrux’s especially Nagini since Nagini was alive?
No, his soul was able to escape the object if another part died.
Can Uçtum how so? Because if they could just escape the item I don’t understand why they (being a part of Voldemort’s soul and Voldemort feeling and knowing when a horcrux was destroyed meaning the other horcrux’s would know one or more were destroyed and would be cognizant to be cautious moving forward) didn’t just leave their object and attach to a living creature like in the beginning to Quirrel or even to Voldemort’s dead body from the very beginning.
Can Uçtum also if the horcrux’s knew they were in danger (like each one was after the previous one was destroyed) and we know that they know when they are in danger because they react and try and protect themselves... why not just fly away? Also, they would have to have something suitable to attach to when they left.
Snape was a master occlumens and Voldemort was a master legilimens. If Voldemort couldn't read Snape's mind, why would he trust him? When using Occlumency to prevent legilimency what would the mind reader read? Example I'm really thinking about killing Voldemort, would Voldemort read a different thought? Being thought blocked, or would he be completely cast out of Snape's mind?
Snape was such a powerful master of occlumency, he was able to choose what voldemort would see when he read his mind.
I am glad i'm not the only die hard Harry Potter fan whom is more than aware of the fact Snape is by far powerful, agile and skilled enough to destroy Voldermorts new body and slow him down. Without the horcruxes he may even be able to defeat Tom with his skills and he can too also fly without a wand, is immune to occlumency and has an array of spells voldermorts was taught by Snape. Voldermort is more powerful than Snape due to his ability to tap into extremely dark magic like horcruxes but in terms of magical potential Snapes actually right behind him very closely and in some instances ahead of Tom in magical abilities. however Snape is one of those wizarding world exceptions whom could give Voldermort hell and exploit a mistake and beat him there and then. Dumnbledore, Bellatrix, Kingsly, Snape, Madeye, Gellart and even Sirius were exceptionally powerful magical users and all capible of defeating the other in the right setting. But Snape is above even Bellatrix and Kingsly so he is more than a threat to Voldermort.
i think bc of horcruxes? He woulnt fully die right?
Idk but dope ass profile pic bro!
