Hiya folks!

Well, after reading(and re-reading and re-reading) Deathly Hallows..and roaming all over the internet...I saw that there were a number of Lily/Snape fans....

So, I wanted to ask you all...what do you make of the love triangle of James-Lily-Snape???

And given a choice b/w these two ships i.e Lily/James and Lily/Snape, who do you like now, after reading Deathly Hallows???

Personally, I love Lily/James...!!! (look at my avi!)
And DH just made me love them more because of that whole stag-doe symbolism....don't you think it's so...amazing that their patronuses match each others'?
Something just screams out to you from the book...
"Soul Mates"
šŸ˜†

As for Lily/Snape...well, I think Snape was never really meant to have her. It was always meant to be an un-requited love...if it hadn't been, then the whole significance of the tragedy that is Severus Snape, would had been lost!
The thing which drags me away from this ship is that, I can't ever see Lily falling for Snape..romantically....!

But anywayz..I saw a lot of Snape fans, and want to know what this forum likes!šŸ˜‰

what a question to ask me 😳 im a james/lilian at heart daring... much more than i ship ron/hermy or harry/ginny i ship james/lily... not that i dunt luv the others its just tht i have an affinity towards marauder era...

Anyways i HATE snape lily... snape fans dont bite my head off but i dunt lk him either and harry naming his kid severas was all wrong and weird...

so well i ship james/lily and yes soul mates is the answer to it... because if it werent for that connection between them im sure snapey would have stolen my lils away under pretneses... and well we can chalk it up to fate too šŸ˜

ok im off to start my james/lily ficcy now :> and snapey is gonna so b d villain :>

im a lily/james fan coz they seem to make a gr8 couple for instance they are both supposed to look gd n they are both very intelligent,they both are a powerful witch or wizard n they both want to fight voldy and then the whole patronous thing

Lily and snape were never meant to be i mean the only thing they have in common is they are both excellent at potions they are otherwise completly opposites
she gryffindor n he's slytherin
she's in the order n he's a death eater
she's muggleborn n he's half-blood

well as u said Snape was never meant for her...actually its good that he never got her right??? coz he really became good after that...he CHOSE to becom good...Its ur choices which matter...

Actually I cant tell u how angry I felt to James after the chapter in OOTP when Harry sees his dad making fun of Snivelli... 😳 😳 😳 Coz I never expected that kind of behavious from James...as Harry too felt "he knew what it felt to be humiliated in public"...

But still Lily was meant for James and thank god Snape came to the better side after her death...bcoz of DD's favourite soln[---overpowering strength of Love! šŸ˜‰

i think lily and james make the perfect so-called "soul mates" couple!! 😳😃

i don't kno why...but i don't think lily and snape would ever make a good couple...no matter how much he loved her...he loved the dark arts the same...and if he got her...he would NOT change!! soo him gettin seperated from his love because of dark arts made him change!! it made him WANT to and CHOOSE to change...and the choices we make are waht matters!

so i think for snape to realize his mistakes...and for him to become a better person...lily had to be james! 😳

and plus...james and lily were always meant-to-be!! šŸ˜‰ ...and...james NEEDED lily for him to change!! if he hadn't got lily he would REMAIN as arrogant as ever!!

so i think all in all...snape not getting lily made him a better man...and james getting lily made him a better man!! (i kno this sounds weird...buh that's how it was!! 😊)

and soo...my SOUL-MATES-COUPLE would be LILY and JAMES!!
😳 😳



Good point. However, I would like to add that, James already had deflated his head before he starting going out with Lily, so I would like to think that he changed...not only for Lily(although that was a catalyst as well) but also for the world..Voldemort was taking over and they needed people like James up there and fighting and thats what he did!
He actively fought against Voldemort and must have risked his life many times during the first war, as opposed to Snape, who was a Death Eater.

There is also the fact, that James CHOSE to save his sworn enemy and risked his life to protect him from a dangerous werewolf. Snape may like to think that he did it for his friend Remus, but he still *did* it, didn't he?
As opposed to Snape, at that point, who was more than ready to sacrifice Harry and James, as long as he got Lily safe and alive. He wasn't even ashamed of doing such a thing at that point.

This, then, is why Lily ultimately chose James and not Snape, becase at the time, James was always the better man!
People tend to forget this thing!

Snape needed Lily's DEATH as a catalyst to change, while James changed on his own, while she was happily alive and kicking!

Truly Lilly - James, nothing can change that to me SnaPe however much I feel bad for him it was just not meant to be!! Lilly-James are Perfect, comPlete oPPosites in a way and Harry's a great mixture of the two. Also how would Harrry look if SnaPe was the father!!! šŸ˜†

ohh the hot topic of the world has finally touched this forum šŸ˜† šŸ˜†

welll i would rather be honest... šŸ˜›...when i first read Prince's Tale, i was indeed left with a troubled and very very purturbed mind something didnt seem right....and that feeling stayed till the end of the book...i mean i wanted to like Snape's love and everything he did for that love..but smehow i cldnt...

the question that haunted me was if Snape hadn't turned a Death Eater would Lily still have chosen James...?...and you can call me naive or an idiott to have ever doubted James/Lily perhaps because i missed the quite evident conncetion between their patronuses...a stag and a doe... 😳...patronuses have always been a symbol of deepest love...and hence it realy leaves no scope for a romantic inclination between snape and Lily....and am rather more at peace to think that Lily chose James coz she wanted to be with him coz she really truely loved and not coz of a compramisal exchange over a friend turned severely wrong.....and one of my moooooost fvtt part of the book is Lily's letter to Sirius...i loved it not only coz it was well written but coz perhpas it was the first inside glance into the world of James and Lily and to me everything seemed happy and full of love..thats why perhaps i was so upset after reading about snape...and as said above James any day was a better man..he might have been outrageously arrogant and pompous at schol but then so what..no man is supposed to be a perfectionist even dumbledore wasnt...but like him James also changed and the most important fact he knew the differance between good and evil..and he had gallantly fought fr the greater good eventually sacrificing his life for his wife and son...while Snape..well as long as he got Lily..he would indeed have allowed harry and james being murdered..the fact remains that had snape not loved Lily or rather had Lily not died...he would have continued to be a glorious Death Eater...its only lily's love and her death that made him realize what he had lost..agreed Jo has gone to all possible extent to showcase that love is the sole power to vanquish evil..and i definately bestwo snape with all his due credit...yet it cant be forgotten that his base itself was wrong....

ps...thaanx to halshuuuu for clearing me mind on the patronuses😳

well..i love the lily-james pair..they r meant 4 each other..i really like snape as a person after what he did 4 harry n all, but he just wasn't fit 4 lily..he never understood her(4 if he did he'd hav NEVER joined the death eaters)..even though his love 4 lily was true they werent meant 4 each other like james n lily..

i respect snape as an individual n support the fact tht he was one of the bravest man in the entire potter series, i like the lily-james couple more..
