Poll: Severus's Worst and/or Least Favorite Subject (Core Classes)
Quote from Naaga on March 1, 2023, 1:25 pm@heatherlly, Snape was completely in control in the duel and was able to duel with her and Fliteick simultaneously while holding back a lot. I would have loved seeing Snape cut loose for once and demonstrate extent of his full power.
Oh, god yes. I wish there had been just one scene in the movies (and especially the books) where we got to see him fight a real enemy without any need for restraint.
Bumped poll for the new members' votes, let us know what you think. 😸
I don't think Snape would hate astronomy. John Nettleship, the teacher who became Snape's motif, majored in chemistry and astronomy.
history < I thought Snape would hate it when he was a student because class was boring because of the ghost professor.
Quote from Heatherlly on February 14, 2023, 2:32 amI'm also going to go with Astronomy, for the same reason I chose Divination in the other thread. Neither of these subjects have much practical use, which (to me) seems like it would be Severus's first priority. The spells he invented are a perfect example of this mindset, as all of them were distinctly utilitarian.
That said, I like the idea of him struggling with Transfiguration. I think he would've mastered it later on due to how useful it is, but as a student? Some of the lessons do seem silly/useless (e.g. turning mice into teacups and similar things). I can see him losing patience with that, even if it was a necessary step toward more complex/meaningful applications.
Yeah, I'd totally say that Astronomy and Divination are his worst/least favorite subjects for these reasons too! <3
