Yes, Severus Snape stood for everything James Potter hated and he was also the best friend of the person James' loved.
Not really. Harry Potter hated Severus Snape until after his death when his true nature was revealed.
Because Gryffindor and Slytherin are rivals and Snape did not like Sirius' friend, James Potter. Also, Sirius and James targeted Severus as someone to humiliate throughout their school years.
No, in fact, both of them hate each other.
Voldemort and his Death Eaters. He used to hate Severus Snape before discovering he was on the good side. He used to hate the Malfoy's before they changed sides and before Narcissa saved his life.
Because Snape hates him! or at least it seems that way. There are many examples of Snape going out of his way to make things hard on Harry, he subtley makes fun of him and his friends (the worst one, in my opinion, was when Hermione's teeth gets cursed to grow 10 times their normal size and when Snape is notified says "I don't know, she looks the same to me.") , and he takes points from griffindore for seemingly no reason-- I would hate him too! Another reason is that his father had a long going rivalry with Snape when they were in school together, though rivalry may not be the right word. James was popular, Snape wasnt and was often picked on by James. Harry finds out about this in the 5th book but still cant seem to trust Snape.
James ( Harry’s father) made fun of him at school and James stole Lily (Harry’s mother) from Snape who loved very much
He is a hateful evil bully, who willingly joined Voldemort.
Yes, both stood for different beliefs and both loved the same woman. James Potter was an arrogant teenage boy. He and his mates ganged up on Severus Snape the moment they met him. James was popular and the leader of the Marauders and so was big headed. He randomly hexed people just because he could and in an attempt to impress Lily Evans - who was very much against his bullying and was, at that point, Snape's best friend. However, deep down James was a good person and Snape was mean and nasty. James eventually grew up and stopped randomly hexing people whilst Snape become more involved with the Dark Arts and became a bully himself - only when Snape and his friends hexed people they used dark magic and spells that Snape had invented (at least one of which James used against him). In his fifth year, Snape called Lily and mud-blood and ended their friendship as she decided he was too involved with the Dark Arts. By seventh year, James had grown up enough for Lily to love him and they began to date.
Yes because Snape thought of Harry as the weakest student of the class
SPOILERS Snape is mean (to Harry) as he hated harr'y dad and harry look's just like him but on the other side of harry family tree , snape loved lily and was secretly portect him and he ends up diying to save his ture love's only son. also he just don't like other people sometimes and hate gryffindors anyway
Yes, and he never tried to disguise that. But he loved Lily Evans/Potter.
No, they hate each-other very much.
