“And that’s not real love—caring for someone without considering their happiness is the exact opposite of love, in point of fact.”
absolutely this. I’m so sick of people treating Lily like she had two options in life - James or Severus. Snape yelled the equivalent of racial slurs at her and sold her family to a psychopathic mass murderer. His story and his character have value, but if you’ve boiled that value down to unrequited love then you’ve missed the point of that character.
