   Why Didn’t Voldemort Realize Snape Was a Double Agent? - Harry Potter Theory

   For someone as paranoid, intelligent, and ruthlessly suspicious as Lord Voldemort, it seems implausible that someone like Snape could operate a double agent right under his nose for SO MANY years. His absolute trust in Snape (which lasts until the very end, I might add) seems almost impossible to explain. After Voldemort’s first defeat, Snape spent YEARS teaching at Hogwarts and maintaining a close enough relationship with Dumbledore that he eventually became one of his most trusted confidants. Voldemort, meanwhile, wasn’t JUST suspicious by nature. He was also one of the most accomplished…

   The REAL Reason Voldemort Still Trusted Snape After Philosopher's Stone

   Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing Severus Snape, Professor Quirrell, Lord Voldemort, and the Philosopher’s Stone. When we revisit Harry’s first year with the information revealed later in the series, Snape’s behaviour becomes even more interesting. He didn’t just act suspiciously around Quirrell—he repeatedly obstructed Voldemort’s plans, and stood between the Dark Lord and the Philosopher’s Stone. So my question is.. Why, after witnessing all of this, did Voldemort ever decide to trust Snape again? Topics Covered…

   What If Snape NEVER Betrayed Voldemort? (CHANGES EVERYTHING)

   This one’s going to be a doozy. Severus Snape is perhaps one of the most important characters in the Harry Potter series. He was the man who first delivered the prophecy to Voldemort. He was the man trusted with secrets powerful enough to decide the outcome of the war. He was the man who protected the son of the woman he loved, even when that boy hated him. And perhaps most importantly, he was the man who chose the mission over redemption, knowing history would never forgive him. In fact, Snape’s role in Harry Potter is so deep that it’s hard to imagine the story without him. Neatly every…

   MAJOR Update Could Change EVERYTHING for HBO’s Harry Potter Series…

   The Harry Potter series is scheduled to premiere on HBO and HBO Max in December of this year, and with that date fast approaching: we’ve got some updates. Now, the first Harry Potter book and film is generally considered the lightest and most child-friendly in the entire series. And as the books and films go on, they get progressively DARKER and DARKER- which made a lot of sense given that much of the original target audience was aging alongside the actors. But in a recent development, HBO revealed that their upcoming adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone has now been listed…

    Was Sirius’s Mirror a HUGE Harry Potter Plot Hole?

    One of a matching pair, the enchanted mirror allowed its owner to communicate instantly with whoever possessed its counterpart simply by speaking their name into the glass. Sirius and James had originally used the mirrors to speak to one another while serving separate detentions at Hogwarts, and decades later, Sirius gives James’s mirror to Harry so that the two of them could remain in contact without relying on owls, fireplaces or the Floo Network. And of all the tragic mistakes made throughout the Harry Potter series, few are as frustrating as Harry’s failure to actually USE the mirror. It…
