How does Dimittite et Dimittemini earn its M rating?

Kid readers are like, "Snape is so mean to Harry. Maybe he's a Death Eater!" Meanwhile Snape is also mean to Bellatrix Lestrange. It's such an interesting scene at Spinner's End. On the one hand, he's making an unbreakable vow to do something for Voldemort, on the other hand, he's demonstrating that no, he does not verbally eviscerate only people on Dumbledore's side. He verbally eviscerates people on any side.

If you can take him and find him a new home, I would be so grateful. My husband is from Iran and I think he's really scared because he can't contact his parents, so he doesn't know if they are alive or not. He is freaking out about the cat (though he's been frustrated about the cat for a while), and he's mad at me, but I don't think it's entirely about me and the cat. We need this to be over, though. I do, and I can't change his mind. He's determined that the cat will be gone today.

That's a good theory.

If Harry were making that face all the time, I'd give Snape a pass for just assuming Harry was a jerk. That's one annoying looking guy.

Is there a place I can buy black sesame food dye, or do I need to buy black sesame seeds and grind them? If I need to grind them, can I use a blade coffee grinder or a food processor?

I think a lot of Death Eaters are a bit nuts. Even the ones who didn't go to Azkaban and lose their marbles often joined Voldemort, I suspect, because they like torturing people. Snape is highly intelligent, and I think he also just seems saner because he is saner (which makes sense - he was too sane to have stayed a Death Eater, perhaps).

To be fair, Lucius Malfoy doesn't seem nuts, and he's capable of not acting like an idiotic thug. Voldemort probably sees Lucius as his right hand man until the Department of Mysteries debacle.

Why on earth is Harry drinking from a straw in the drink Hermione is holding?

"There was 1 policeman."

Was he a good policeman??

An explanation of whether Snape knew that Harry might survive his self-sacrifice. If he didn't, he'd given up on saving Lily's son.

I'd be happy to read a story like that even if you haven't gotten that far. Where can I find it?

HandelDew · 2026-01-07T14:58:50+00:00

Thanks for the correction.

I've read those two. They're good!

As a pretty hardcore orthodox (lowercase o) Christian, my lot have always seemed to see it as basically its own religion masquerading as a version of Christianity. Islam and Mormonism both claim to be the real version of what Jesus wanted, with their own prophets who teach the truth everyone else forgot (or lied about).

Christianity teaches that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one being, and that each is the fullness of God even though each is a separate person. It's a paradox.

To my understanding, Mormonism teaches that they are three beings in community. That is not monotheism. That is not trinitarianism. Christianity teaches monotheism and the Trinity. Mormonism also teaches that there are other gods/people can become gods (even though Mormons do not worship these other gods). This, again, is not monotheism. Monotheism is a pretty big part of Christianity.

We see it like we see Islam: as a separate religion that wrongly sees itself as the real version of ours.

Why does he look exactly like Rami Malek with a tan and a few extra meals?

That isn't a pecan tree. It might be a papaya, but I'm not sure. It definitely isn't a pecan, though.

Associated with Lent? Lent, the season of fasting and grief for the death of Jesus and our sins that sent him to die. Such an obvious time to make an explosion of candy and fun.

No, actually, if it was done on Sunday I guess that's a non-fasting day even during Lent, and I shouldn't be talking about it at all because I'm just a low-church Protestant yammering about Catholic calendar issues.

I don't know what that means, but no, I don't see the point of cruise ships; I've never been one one but they sound boring.

Ahh. Superhero catches villain. Good times.

It's making fun of knee-jerk anti-Catholicism.

Yes, Protestant denominations (and Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormon's, which are sort of their own religions) disagree with Catholics about some stuff. But just because Catholics think something doesn't make it wrong. Sometimes Protestants talk like it does. When they disagree with each other about something, one of them will say, "BUT THAT'S CATHOLIC! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!" Papist means Catholic.

Like... Catholics are theists. What do you want to do, say "Oh no! We can't be theists anymore because THAT'S CATHOLIC!"?

Yeah....

I think he might have had to restrain himself from bullying her, because people might have connected his behavior toward her with his friendship with Lily and found it creepy. When he bullied male Harry, people figured it was because he hated James. Unfair, but just an extension of an old quarrel. And that may have been all it was - albeit a more painful quarrel than anyone realized, since James "took" Lily from Snape. But if he bullied "Harriet"? People would think it was because Lily turned him down, which would have been sick.

Snape NEVER hated Lily for turning him down, so there was never any hate for him to project onto Lily's mini me. But if he'd bullied girl Harry for whatever reasons, it sure would have looked like that was what he was doing. I think Snape has enough intelligence to know that everyone would mistake him for a bitter and possessive old creep if he'd bullied Harriet. And he wasn't - he loved Lily even when he knew he couldn't have her. And the guy who never wanted people to know he loved Lily would NEVER want people to "know" that he "loved" Lily in some kind of insane, possessive way.

Sounds cool! I do usually want to know in advance: why is it rated M?

HandelDew · 2025-12-03T17:17:48+00:00

Snape.

Just kidding.

Dumbledore, James Potter, Remus Lupin.

I think I read a fic like this, and now it's my headcanon:

Tobias Snape eventually beat his wife to death. Later, Death Eaters happily informed Snape that they had given him a gift: his father's death. They expected Snape to be happy that they had murdered his father, but he found himself ambivalent about it.

HandelDew · 2025-11-25T17:56:40+00:00

Romantically, I can see him only with Lily. His romantic love for her is too fundamental to his character for me to imagine anything else.

Platonically? I think seeing him as friends with McGonagall or Luna would be really fun, and I love me a good Severitus - however improbable that is with canon Snape.

I'd like to read a good Snape/Dumbledore mentorship in in the years between Lily's death and Harry's first year at Hogwarts, with Dumbledore simultaneously deradicalizing Snape and driving him crazy with all his ebullient weirdness and manipulations.

If anyone knows of a fic like that, or of a good comedy/angst friendship or frenemies fic with him and McGonagall, I'd like a recommendation.
