Chapter 4040 4042【Snape】
Lily Evans is also a very good wizard. She is smart, kind-hearted, righteous and brave. She is good at charms, potions, etc. She is deeply appreciated by Potions Professor Slughorn.
So even though she was born as a Muggle Jardine, she was still recruited into the Slug Club by Slughorn and was considered one of the most talented students.
She and Snape had known each other since they were very young and studied at Hogwarts together. During the sorting ceremony, Snape was sorted into Slytherin and Lily Evans was sorted into Gryffindor.
At that time, it was 1971, which was also the time when Voldemort's power was rising and causing trouble in the wizarding world. At that time, Voldemort promoted the concept of "pure-blood supremacy" and discriminated against and suppressed Muggle-born wizards.
This concept is highly praised by many pure-blood and mixed-blood wizards, especially the students of Slytherin College, who highly praise it and even set up a small group to support Voldemort.
Snape is also one of them. He is obsessed with dark magic and occasionally bullies his Muggle-born classmates.
Lily Evans, who was also born as a Muggle and had a kind heart, could not stand what he did, so she drifted away from him and parted ways.
Snape later indirectly killed Lily Evans, making a huge mistake that could never be repaired. As a result, he was plunged into pain and regret for the rest of his life.
Xiang Nan has read the original "Harry Potter" and knows about Snape and Lily's past, so he is willing to help him complete this task. Moreover, he has long been full of yearning for the magnificent and fantastic magical world described in "Harry Potter".
The mysterious magic spells, all kinds of strange magical creatures, incredible magic props...each of them is fascinating.
…
And Xiang Nan has also calculated that although the magical world of "Harry Potter" is full of dangers, such as Avada Kedavra, the weird and unpredictable blood curse, the all-devouring fire curse, and the terrifying soul-stirring... Monsters, as well as the cold-blooded and cruel Voldemort who crushes everything, etc., but the danger is still within the controllable range.
Because the strength of wizards is overestimated. Xiang Nan has read the original "Harry Potter" series and knows that wizards were constantly suppressed by Muggles (ordinary people without magic) in the Middle Ages.
With the support of the Holy See, they launched a witch-hunting campaign, burning everyone they suspected of being a witch or directly beheading them in public. Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor who nearly lost his head, died during the witch hunts of the fifteenth century.
The confrontation between Muggles and wizards continued until the seventeenth century. Since wizards could not compete with Muggles, they had to sign the "International Statute of Secrecy" and completely turn into a hidden state.
It can be seen that the overall combat power of the wizarding world is weak and cannot compete with the Muggle army. Otherwise, it would be impossible to voluntarily retire and move underground.
Historically, until the mid-seventeenth century, no country in Europe had an army with more than 50,000 soldiers. In comparison, with Xiang Nan's strength, he can activate unparalleled mowing mode when facing tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
So his combat power alone is almost comparable to the overall combat power of the wizarding world.
Of course, this is also because the combat power of most wizards is really low.
The book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" mentions that even wizards working in the Ministry of Magic may not be able to cast a decent iron spell.
In the middle of the seventeenth century, the total population of England exceeded seven million. The war is fought for resources and potential, and population is precisely the most important resource.
Even if a wizard can fight, if one person exchanges the lives of a thousand people, 3,000 people will only kill 3 million people, leaving Britain with a population of 4 million. In addition, during the witch hunt, there were also wizards on the Muggle side to help out.
Those Muggle-born wizards, when there is a confrontation between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, usually side with the Muggle world and choose to compete with the wizarding world.
Just like Hermione Granger, who was born into a Muggle family, once the wizarding world goes to war with the Muggle world, she will naturally stand with her Muggle parents.
So Xiang Nan knew that his combat power should not be overestimated, but he should not be underestimated too much either. Overall, as long as you're careful enough, there shouldn't be any major problems.
…
Xiang Nan then collected all the novels, movies, games, supplementary settings, etc. in the "Harry Potter" series, and read them carefully, trying to be as familiar as possible.
Subsequently, he officially took over Snape's mission.
A door of light appeared out of thin air, and Xiang Nan stepped into it, "My name is Severus Snape, my mother is Eileen Prince, she is a witch; my father is Tobias Snape, he was a Muggle.
I have shown outstanding magical talent since I was a child. My mother told me that when I turn eleven, I will receive an admission letter from Hogwarts. By then I will be able to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I can’t wait to do so. This day can come soon..."
Xiang Nan was startled slightly and smelled the smell of rotten wood. He opened his eyes and saw that he was hiding in a tree hole.
It turns out that Snape’s parents had a very bad relationship, and they often quarreled at every turn.
Snape’s mother, Eileen Prince, was surly and unattractive. His father, Tobias Snape, was a Muggle who worked in a textile factory.
When they first met, Tobias Snape was still a good man, responsible, courageous, and responsible, so he attracted Eileen Prince.
But in the mid-1960s, England's textile industry was gradually being replaced by the emerging world. Tobias also suffered from factory cuts and layoffs, and his career was not going well. As a result, his temper became worse and worse, and he became cynical. He drank alcohol, quarreled, and domestic violence all day long. Wife and son.
So young Snape didn't want to stay at home, but he had nowhere else to go.
Because his mother, Eileen Prince, did not allow him to attend a Muggle primary school and chose to teach her son magic at home, it was difficult for Snape to make friends with his peers.
And they live in Spider End Lane, which is considered a slum in the town and is regarded as a "dirty place". It is similar to the black ghettos in the United States and the gypsy ghettos in Europe.
So no child wants to be friends with Snape. Therefore, after he left home, he had no other place to go but to hide alone in a tree hole under an oak tree by the river.
Learning this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
He seemed to know why Snape had a poker face all day long, being gloomy, withdrawn, withdrawn, and hating Muggles so much. After all, it is impossible for anyone to be cheerful when faced with such a father.
Childhood trauma takes a lifetime to heal, and Snape is undoubtedly the best example.
