Chaos a Hundred Times

Another Way to Look at the Relationships
between Severus, Lily, MWPP, and Dumbledore

If you give chaos, your dog will give you chaos a hundred times.”

Author’s Note: This article was inspired in part by the discussions on Snapedom about Snape and prejudice (Sailorlum’s original article on 2/19/10, and 00sevvie’s reply on 3/15/10). My thinking about Remus and Sirius as canids rather than people is partly an extrapolation of Mary_j_59’s essay on Snapedom that Black’s behavior towards certain characters makes more sense if we think of him as a dog relating to his pack rather than a person relating to other people.

Reply to sailorlum about Remus, because the comments were getting tl;dr

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I didn't want to take up any more of the thread in terri's post, or make other commentators there uncomfortable, so I've moved my reply here.

ETA to avoid any misunderstanding: THIS IS NOT A STAND-ALONE ESSAY. It is a REPLY to a long discussion on terri's Remus as Parent post. Please, if you think something is missing or unclear, please read back in the discussion to be sure, for the sake of avoiding misunderstandings. Link is

Thank you.

Remus (and other Lycanthropes) as Parents

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
This started as a response to Elethian’s defense of Remus as a potential father in this month’s challenge. It got so long, I’m posting it separately. And it’s only at the end that I actually address Lupin’s (and indeed, lycanthropes as a group) potential as parents.


“Though, honestly, I think we see a great difference between his behavior at 16 and his adult behavior.”

Good try )

Was James an abusive husband?

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

First, I all want to recommend 'Liberacorpus' by terri_testing. You can find it here: http://terri-testing.livejournal.com/7569.html#cutid1

The following under the cut can't really be called an essay, it's nature to rambling, but I'd love to see what you all think.

If we carry through on the racism/prejudice equivalency...

A Question and an Appeal

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Original poster: sigune

The other day I was contemplating the new information Deathly Hallows gave us on Snape, and I found myself puzzled at an odd chink in the chronology of events in Snape's schooldays:

- In Prisoner of Azkaban, we learned that Sirius lured Snape to the Shrieking Shack on a night with a full moon when he was sixteen.

- In Order of the Phoenix, we learned that James hung Snape upside down, and Snape called Lily a Mudblood, in fifth year when they were taking their OWLs, and would have been fifteen.

- In Deathly Hallows, it transpires in "The Prince's Tale" that the Shrieking Shack incident took place before the Worst Memory.

What do you make of this? I would very much like to know your opinion on how to deal with this. Which do you think is the logical sequence, and why? Or how would you explain away the apparent contradiction?






On another note (cross-posted to my own journal):

In their latest episode, the staff at [info]snapecast has asked their listeners to compose epitaphs for Snape. I am really not good at this sort of thing, but many of you are, and therefore I would ask you to please, please contribute a short crazy poem or a snarky line or two.

Send your epitaphs to severus (at) snapecast (dot) com; or if you like to send a soundbite, you can phone Snapecast through Skype; their username is (surprise!) "snapecast". The deadline is 11 August.
