Description
AND I TOTALLY CHOOSE BRAINS!!! >
Guess who's been reading Deathly Hallows? I dislike James Potter a great deal. For 5 entire books, Harry bleated on about how his dad was awesome and amazing, and he never had a shred of evidence to lead him to make such an assumption, and what do you know?
James was just an arse.
I'm not saying Snape is much better, but at least it wasn't his fault he was a bitch to everyone. Anyway, this is in...what, first year? I'd put money on Snape to totally end Potter. He totally would.
Severus Snape and James Potter are both (c) JK Rowling
I could have waited until the movie came out, and used the surge of newly rekindled Harry Potter Fandom to aquire MUCHO favorites on this (oho, marketing strategies are not lost on me) But I decided I wanted to keep my soul, for the time being at least.
...
...
...I'M JOKING.

To each their own - If you can like both then that's fine, but I find James a very difficult character to like.

Wow, intense hatred here! I'm one of those odd ducks who likes both of them for different reasons. I prefer James but DH and some fabulous artwork of Snape on dA has made me like him more.

Oh yes, can you FEEL the sparks (or lasers) behind those eyes? XD I have to say, I didn't really have a problem with James until I realised in DH that no one had really said ANYTHING about his character and everyone had just assumed he was a great guy XD And I agree, it's hard not to like Snape when there's no much lovely artwork of him floating around here!

BRAINS OVER BRAWN ANY DAY!!!
James is a bumface- Snape has an excuse. Other than the fact his awesome makes up for his actions.
*hugs Snape while holding his wand far away so he can't kill me with it*
Awesome pic!

oh c'mon guys. James sacrificed himself for his family... no offense Snape lovers, I do like Snape I just think if he had handled the whole James Potter thing a little bit more maturely rather than stooping to Death Eater level and calling her a mudblood she might have still been his friend. Jo Rowling said James was an ass just cause he considered Severus competition. C'mon give poor James a break!

I know this is a REALLY old comment but I just had to say something. If snape has no excuse to act like a dick because he was bullied and almost killed and abused. Then james has no excuse to act like such a piece of shit
James was jealous so that gives him the right to bully, almost kill, torment, and almost strip someone? Oh and all because, and I quote, 'he exists'.
At least the death eaters treated him like a human instead of a piece of trash for the 'light' side.
Well I'm done. Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest.

Wait... what? I don't even remember what you're talking about... sorry :$
However, I do think it is something involving James Potter? In my defence, I don't remember saying James had "the right," to bully Snape. Just saying he didn't do it just for the heck of it either. I think..? I'm not sure seeing as though I can't remember.
I do get rants though. That's fine. I'm glad you got it off of your chest
Sorry for the late reply.. I forgot my password:$

It is about James. Well he did say, when asked why he was bullying Severus: "it's because he exists if you know what I mean" not much of a reason right there, kinda shallow. But hey, I don't hate any character BTW I just dislike James.
LOL I can barely remember too. Im gonna try to find the comment I made.
Sorry, I felt bad after I said it. Not because of my words but because of how it came out and that I was acting like Snape haters do. I am kinda ashamed.
Tis fine. I forget my passwords all the time.

James didn't nearly kill Snape... he saved him. Maybe you could believe Snape's reason about him not wanting to get into trouble, but Sirius was the one who nearly killed him. If you read the books again, you will notice (I quote)
"Snape never lost the oppurtunity to curse James". And you can't really say that James is Brawn and Snape is brains, because James and Sirius were "The cleverest students in the school", and if you don't believe that, read Prisoner of Azkaban again.
I know that James DID start it, but in the end, he can't have been bad; he sacrificed himself for his family and he made a 180 degree change for Lily.
Now I'm not saying I dislike Snape, he is also an awesome character, "without a doubt, the bravest man I ever knew" sums up a lot about him anyway.

He 'saved' him so his friend wouldn't get expelled. And notice all the characters that praise the marauders are all gryffindors? yes totally not biased at all (and dear old sluggy who just loves his rich, and beautiful students over the ugly, poor, and unappealing). So first they say that snape never lost the opurtunity to curse james then we see him sitting there doing nothing and them gaining upon him and almost stripping him for no reason. Then James himself says, when asked why he is bullying severus: 'it's because he exists if you know what I mean'. So which is it? is snape fighting back or is he getting targeted for no reason, it can't be both. Being clever does not equal being intelligent and they were not as smart as snape was. And the people we get our information from is, suprise, the bully and the do nothing prefect. Totally not biased. And Jk did say that the jealousey over lily was a factor of why he picked on snape.
The 'ceverest' students stole one of snapes spells that he invented and used it to bully others and almost strip snape. They didn't invent 6 spells and they didn't improve a text book (heavly) while juggling school work while being heavly bullied and sleeping in a house with psychopaths (avery,wilkes,bealtrix mc crazy). They did invent the maruaders map and become illegial animaguses which is impressive but it does not equal being a genius. It does however, point to them being skilled and powerful.
as for brawn notice how it was always 4 on 1 (or 3 on 1) yes such wonderful and brave students.
um no he didnt change for lily. He still cursed and hexed other students and snape behind her back. and pissed off petuna and vernon on pourpose (though I hardly blame him, but still)And its parental instinct for adults to potect their young. Was it brave? yes but did it prove to me that he changed? no. But as bad as James was he was no were near as bad as Sirius.
For the record I do suport James and lily because Lily and snape would have not worked out.
I agree it does. it totally sucks that he got shit on his whole life and died alone without a thankyou. I was so mad with JK I almost threw the book out my window.
And yes, I do think snape is flawed and I do believe i've got a journal entry explaning it. If you want I can try and find it and link you to it.

Hang on, why are we debating about this? We aren't going to convince each other at all! I personally prefer James to Snape, but I'm not saying Snape was bad in any way, my reasons are about him sacrificing himself for his family (not that Snape wouldn't have done the same). I'm not entirely sure about why he called Lily a mudblood and made friends with future death eaters, but I have a hunch it was to get back at James. Or something like that. Either way, James befriended a werewolf, a proper outcast and helped him in a way very, very few wizards would have done, and the four on one thing is just Snape's view. Remus, being so much more mature than Sirius or James, would not have attacked, and Peter, being a coward and a douchebag (I added the douchebag part) wouldn't have attacked, for fear of getting himself ripped in half by Snape. I personally think it was Snape's hatred of James and Sirius which dragged Remus and Peter into that blind hatred. As for James and Sirius, I'm sure that on at least some occasions, they would have gone 1 on 1. Holy shit I intended to tell you that we aren't going to convince each other and what did I just do? Oh well, maybe you could hold both James and Snape in equal regard, Snape for being as brave as it gets, pretty much, and James, for being an idiotic genius. (Oxymorons FTW!

Well I never saw it as a debate I juat thought we were talking. But lol if it comes off as a debate then I apologize.
Well JK said he joined the death eaters because he just wanted some friends. Thats all. 
Remus was a prefect and did nothing when he should have. Peter was a coward and followed along and james and Sirius ganged up on snape and made his life hell because he existed. As far as the 4 on 1 then its not far off, hell the whole school was against him and didn't seem to want to help as he was being bullied.
Remember memories do not lie and his were not tampered with.
Peter could have gotten ripped in half by a puppy. He's an idiot.
I would hate them too if they made my life hell for 7 years for no other reason then that I existed.
I don't think I will ever like james because of how he acted toward snape and other students as a child. Its not normal for a kid who's spoiled and rich and has a great life to just make a kids life for no other reason then he exists and he has something the spoiled child wanted. At least snape, after a whole life of abuse, bullying and almost getting killed at least had a reason to act like a dick. Snape wasn't taught better and james was.
Lol snape will always be my #1 and a far better man then james will ever be. But that's just my opinion.
Hey wanna be friends? I always love befriending others especially when they can turn me from a james hater to a james disliker.

Yeh sure, I'm new to Deviantart, so I'd like to know how to use this site lol. As for my liking James, it's mostly because I judged him for the MAN he was rather than the CHILD he was (until 7th year when he started to mature. Loads.) I wouldn't really judge someone while they're still developing emotionally (as well as physically), and theres my opinion. And how do I upload a picture to my gallery? My drgaon picture is my profile pic but I'd like to upload it as a piece of artwork.
See (or message) you whenever!
