Feelings Behind the Flick: On Emotion and Magic
Magic really isn’t just a simple “swish and flick” as Professor Flitwick so elegantly put it, and here’s why.

From a master decipher to a person who has lost his love. Severus Snape dabbled in the Dark Arts and remained the only Death Eater able to conjure a Patronus. This week we have a pencil drawing that captures Snape’s everlasting loyalty.
After reading about the enneagram, a set of nine related personality types, I wanted to assign a “Harry Potter” character to each type.
Dear Severus Snape, I would really like to ask you a question. You were really rude with Harry Potter in the school, and I just can’t imagine why. I know his father used to make your life terrible, but it doesn’t mean you should have done the same with Harry. I mean, he isn’t the one you chose his parents, right? He was just the sufferer.
Professor Snape,
I (obviously) have a question that I believe you have the answer to. If, metaphorically speaking, you wished to get rid of a rather annoying teacher (Professor Gilderoy Lockhart for example), what would be the best potion or poison to either disable or kill (I’d be perfectly happy with the latter!) them so that one does not have to endure his incessant ability to incite blood-lust in even the most…
Dear Professor Snape,
With all my respect, I think that Professor Dumbledore used and abused you (and maybe Harry) and was very selfish when he asked you to kill him. I know you promised him loyalty, but how do you feel about it? Or do you think I’m wrong with that point of view?
Snape loved Lily. James loved Lily. She wasn’t happy with either one of them, so why did she choose James?
Professor Snape,
Wow, it’s been such a long time visiting the magical land. There is always questions that I am curious to ask you whatsoever. Do you think if you love Lily Evans enough you will let her go with James? Because what I have seen from your action is no matter how much you love her you don’t think her happiness is a number one priority. If you really love her would it be enough to see her happy with James?
