Did you know that in HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE... Snape's first words to Harry are: "What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily that means: "My regrets follow you to the grave" -- while wormwood means "absence" -- and symbolizes bitter sorrow. So combined, Snape's words actually mean: "I bitterly regret Lily's death."

This goes to show how tragic he is as a character

Hermoine's answer in her head: I bitterly regret Lily’s death.

[JessePinikman]

Then proceeds to bully her son in every way he could.

[RaeezTheDeadPoet]

So Matilda's surname Wormwood means absence, like how her parents were most of the time

[hunterkiller]

Because Snape learns from his mistakes.

Every time I watch one of these it just amazes me how much thinking people put into movies which most people won't even notice

[DrFunkman]

Snape would then go on to bully her orphaned son for 6 years

[elementoflight]

I always thought he just tells Harry what he is, a combination of Lily and his dad.

The symbolism behind flowers in English folklore is fascinating. Read the lyrics of the English folk song "Seeds of Love" and read about the symbolism behind the flowers mentioned in the song, you’ll see what I mean.

Just imagine: "Professor, I know exactly what your question is. But do you want for me to answer now or after the class?"

[goldtwistsenpai]

This sounded like what my english teachers say pulling meanings out of nowhere 😭
