Do you think Severus Snape always cared about Harry?

Hard pergunta and being honest I should say - we'll never know! But I dare suppose-he did (I prefer this variant)
Frankly speaking, I think that Snape cared about Harry only because he was Lily's son and not for any other reason.

I think that if Harry had any other father, Snape might have been slightly mais compassionate towards Lily's son. I think it deeply wounded him that Lily chose to marry the one man he couldn't stand, and so this affected any caring emotion he would have had to Lily's child. So maybe Snape did care for Harry, but purely because he was Lily's son and for no other reason - if he had walked into Hogwart's rumoured as "The Chosen One" and had been exactly the same, but without Lily as a mother, I don't believe Snape would have cared at all. But then again, if Lily hadn't been Harry's mother, Snape would probably still have been a death eater, and Harry might have been dead a long time ago.

He cared for Harry because he still loved Lily. He would have no longer loved Lily, he would not have given a damn. Harry would have been James' son only, same thing. He would have cared for any of Lily's child, whether from James or not. The real test was that Harry was the child of the woman he still loved despite her death, and the son of the man he loathed beyond imagination.
Though I suspect him to be much mais compassionate than at first sight. Look at how he accepted the Unbreakable Vow to spare Draco's soul to be torn por murder. His capacity to care and feel compassion is most likely one of the least expected traits of his personality - but it's genuine.

I think he did, a little bit, in his own way. Harry did have a lot of traits in common with his mother (no matter how Sev tried to deny it XP) and I think it would have been impossible for him not to notice that.

I think he always care about Harry but Severus is a very cold person so he never demonstrate that plus Harry was James Potter´s son so it´s pretty obvious why he never show his care with Harry!!

yes

no, i don't think he did. he saw harry as the reason lily died, and harry reminded him of james.at least, thats what it suggests in the last book.

Yes he cared about harry he tried to save him when quirrel was about to kill harry he helped dumbledore to save harry because it was all that was left of lily and his eyes were just like hers.
he always helped harry and looked after him because he knew he would save harry for lily's sacrifice

he will foreever amor her until the dia he goes with her.

lol xxx :)

YEAH

I don't know. Maybe he did. I think he might have really (and honestly) tried to dislike/hate Harry because of his past with James, but was never able to because Harry was also Lily's son and Severus always loved her.

Yes and No.
Yes, because he was the son of Lily. I mean, a part of him would always amor Lily, and therefore he almost had to at least like Harry.. just a bit at least. And then again no. Losing Lily, and then seeing her together with Potter must've been fucking hard. Harry being so much alike with his father, i can imagine why he hated him

I honestly think that he did care for Harry. As much as people think he didnt like him he cared for harry somewhewre inside and helped him all he could like in the 7th book when he sent his patronu to help harry and other time to when Remus turned into a werewolf he helped and protected all of the facts are in the books and they are all good/great caring moments

yes i think he always hated it but he saw alot of Lily in Harry and he begain to see he was alot like his mum and he was good boy i think he hated to admit it but he always cared about him

It's a hard pergunta to answer...i think we'll never know. But I think he did...but only because he was Lilly's son and he loved her so much...

Yes I think that Severus Snape always cared about Harry.

yes

not really no.. he loved lily and could see lily in harrys eyes, however he could also see james's arrogance in harry and loathed it.. i expext there would have been a lot of soul searching..

I think he did in a small way or he wouldn't have done what he did. Harry had Lily's eyes, but because harry looked like James so much Snape assumed that Harry would have the same arrogance and smugness that James did. I think he was conflicted a bit, but he still did what he had to do.

I think he always cared, but hated James os much that it come out on Harry! I mean James married the one girl he loved. I also think he wanterd to help Harry defeat You-know-Who because he killed lilly!

In the best way and as well as anyone could under the circumstances. Being James' son. I believe even despite Lily he wouldn't have tried so hard t protect him and teach him. Even up to his fleeing Hogwarts after killing Dumbledor he still yelled at him for talking out a charm not just thinking it in his head. If he didn't have some feelings at that point he wouldn't have given a dang.

No, I don't think Severus cared about Harry in a personal sort of way. He cared about Lily and in turn, did whatever he could to protect Harry. The only reason he did so much for Harry, and even Harry's friends, is because of Lily. I don't think Severus was able to fully look past the similarities between Harry and James. And even if he did, everything was for Lily. From the time he decided to cadastrar-se Dumbledore to Nagini attacking and killing him in the Shrieking Shack, everything was for Lily. He couldn't save Lily and he hated himself for it, so it's pretty obvious that he would do anything to at least protect her son.

No, he didn't care for harry. severus only protected the boy becaus of his mother(lily evans)who he deeply loved. It is said in HP7

No! Harry is a stupid, idiotic thunderhead that likes to waste my time!! I never have and never will care for Harry ever!

And what's with this creepy drawing of me? It makes me look like a stalker!! Some muggle out there needs drawing lessons!

Of course he did because Harry resembles his mother in his eyes and snape was in amor with lily and so deep down snape would have cared for and loved harry as he would if harry was his own child.

hehehe i know this awnser is goign to get some wtfs are you tlaking about but oh well,

YES, i absoutly think he cared for harry i think well secretly well nto so secretly anymore that severus was harrys father

euns bwhind brick mural

NO I DO NTO NEED TO GO TO A EMNTAL HOSIPTAL! it jsut makes snese to mean and i cna give s=you soem good reason to why i think this .

but plus the reason i think this he did care for harry. is not only did he protect harry but his gernal reaction to find otu about haryrs amiditae deaht. and the fact that this man does not strike me as someone to not counite to take care of things he does not care for.

ps. don't judge me for having my own thoguhts on think severus is harrys father. i don't want to hear it.

i get that a lot of you know or think he ids defaintly jmes. and that is your opionin and i rspect that. so respect mien.

I think in the beginning, Harry reminded him to much of James. I believe it was too much of a challenge to separate his memories of James from the way Harry looked, especially at and in Hogwarts, the site of all his most horrible memories of James and the Mauraders, and Lily's defection.
Quite frankly, I've always believed that it was at the moment when Albus told him his plan that Harry must die at the 'fated' moment, that Harry became real as a person to him. That was when Harry was separated most definitely from James' image and placed in the same category that Snape held, that as 'pawn' in the game being played between Voldemort and Albus.
It truly made Harry and Severus equals in the same field. And maybe brought Severus to a new understanding of all Harry's (and Hermione and Ron) past misdeeds as Harry struggled against other's control of his life. Something I'm sure that Severus felt but suppressed due to his overwhelming feelings of guilt and struggle for atonement.

Can you imagine the quagmire of emotion that filled Severus upon casting Avada Kadavra on Albus? Yes, it was at Albus' request. But, have you not ever felt betrayal at a parent figure or some other important person for not telling you a truth they knew, from hiding it from you? You have to mean Avada Kadavra when you cast it. Yes, he was doing it upon Albus' request, yes, it was a mercy to him, yes, it was incorporated in Albus' plan. But, here was the man that had quided him in all his actions to protect this child of Lily's, even though this child constantly reminded him of James, but he did his job because this was Lily's child, and to suddenly find that Albus planned for Harry to die all along, without sharing that with him.

I think por that time, it was the absolute for Severus. He was probably glad to die before Harry. Can you imagine after all those years, to be told Harry HAD to die, and that he must stand por when it happens, after having to stand por earlier when Charity B. was killed in front of him? I think it was at the moment that Albus told him Harry must die, that Severus lost all hope.

So, long answer short, I don't think Severus Snape always cared about Harry. I don't think he 'cared' about Harry at all. I think Harry was just James' child, that was born por Lily, till that fateful moment Albus told him about Harry's fate. Then Harry became a real person, became Lily's son, in Severus' eyes. Not that Severus' would have 'cared' for Harry at that point, but empathized with him, that I could see.

From the start, no but I think he did towards the end but before he could tell him, he was killed so I guess he didn't have enough time to show him.

I don't think he ever really cared for Harry. He was only carrying out what he thought was his honor-bound duty to Lily and Dumbledore to protect her son, possibly as a way to assuage his guilt over causing her death.

no I think he began to like him in the 6Th book. Becaue remember james and snape were enemies in hogwarts. But still i mean snape always loved lily. I kinda feel bad for snape he loved lily but, lily choose james
