    Why Didn’t Voldemort Realize Snape Was a Double Agent? - Harry Potter Theory

    For someone as paranoid, intelligent, and ruthlessly suspicious as Lord Voldemort, it seems implausible that someone like Snape could operate a double agent right under his nose for SO MANY years. His absolute trust in Snape (which lasts until the very end, I might add) seems almost impossible to explain. After Voldemort’s first defeat, Snape spent YEARS teaching at Hogwarts and maintaining a close enough relationship with Dumbledore that he eventually became one of his most trusted confidants. Voldemort, meanwhile, wasn’t JUST suspicious by nature. He was also one of the most accomplished Legilimens alive, entirely capable of penetrating other people’s minds and extracting their thoughts, memories, and emotions..Whenever he wanted to. Which is why sometimes I wonder HOW Snape managed to stand in front of Voldemort for years, lie directly to his face,and somehow… Never get caught? Topics Covered In This Video: Why Voldemort never realized Snape was a double agent Why Voldemort couldn’t simply read Snape’s mind How Legilimency actually works in Harry Potter How Snape used Occlumency against Voldemort Why being a powerful Legilimens didn’t make Voldemort all-knowing How Snape controlled his thoughts, emotions, and memories The cover story Snape used after Voldemort’s first downfall How Snape explained his years working for Dumbledore Why Voldemort believed Snape had returned to his side How Snape used genuine information to maintain Voldemort’s trust Why Snape’s love for Lily was something Voldemort failed to understand How Dumbledore helped protect Snape’s true allegiance Why killing Dumbledore made Snape appear completely loyal Whether Voldemort ever suspected Snape was betraying him Severus Snape’s double-agent strategy explained Harry Potter Legilimency and Occlumency explained Questions Answered: Why didn’t Voldemort realize Snape was a double agent? Why didn’t Voldemort read Snape’s mind? Could Voldemort use Legilimency on Snape? Was Snape better at Occlumency than Voldemort was at Legilimency? Can Legilimency detect when someone is lying? How did Snape hide his true memories from Voldemort? Why did Voldemort believe Snape’s explanation for working with Dumbledore? How did Snape regain Voldemort’s trust after his return? Why did Voldemort believe Snape was loyal after killing Dumbledore? Did Voldemort know Snape loved Lily Potter? Did Voldemort ever suspect Snape was secretly working for Dumbledore? How did Snape fool one of the greatest Legilimens in the Wizarding World? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Okay okay, so there’s a new showing coming out. And now that the ball has gotten rolling, it feels like things are moving FAST. But with the introduction of a MAJOR addition to the Harry Potter series, we need to ask one very big question- is it CANON? Will the characters, places, and storylines be a fully integrated (and more importantly, accepted) — aspect of the Harry Potter universe? Let’s take a closer look Topics Covered in This Video: What “canon” actually means in the Harry Potter universe Whether the new HBO Harry Potter series will be considered official canon The difference between canon, adaptations, retcons, and fan fiction Why many Harry Potter fans reject *The Cursed Childas canon Whether J.K. Rowling’s involvement automatically makes something canonical HBO’s promise to create a faithful adaptation of the Harry Potter books Concerns surrounding the writers of the new Harry Potter series Why a Harry Potter writer not reading all seven books has worried fans The controversy surrounding Paapa Essiedu’s casting as Severus Snape Whether major casting changes contradict HBO’s “book-accurate” promise How the original Harry Potter films changed or removed important book details Why the movies still captured the magic and atmosphere of the Wizarding World Whether the HBO series should reuse the films’ Hogwarts design and John Williams score How the series could combine the best elements of the books and movies A complete Harry Potter canon tier list Where the original books, movies, *Fantastic Beasts*, HBO series, *Hogwarts Legacy*, and *The Cursed Child* rank Why most Harry Potter video games are not considered part of Wizarding World canon Questions Answered in This Video: Is the new HBO Harry Potter series officially canon? What makes a Harry Potter story canonical? Can an adaptation be canon if it changes details from the books? Does J.K. Rowling’s approval automatically make something canon? Why do so many fans refuse to accept *The Cursed Child*? Are retcons allowed within Harry Potter canon? Will the HBO series remain faithful to the original seven novels? Should fans be concerned that one of the show’s writers has not read every book? Is the new Severus Snape casting book-accurate? Can HBO make major creative changes while still calling the series faithful? Are the original Harry Potter movies considered canon?

    The REAL Reason Voldemort Still Trusted Snape After Philosopher's Stone

    Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing Severus Snape, Professor Quirrell, Lord Voldemort, and the Philosopher’s Stone. When we revisit Harry’s first year with the information revealed later in the series, Snape’s behaviour becomes even more interesting. He didn’t just act suspiciously around Quirrell—he repeatedly obstructed Voldemort’s plans, and stood between the Dark Lord and the Philosopher’s Stone. So my question is.. Why, after witnessing all of this, did Voldemort ever decide to trust Snape again? Topics Covered In This Video: Why Voldemort questioned Snape’s loyalty Snape’s confrontation with Professor Quirrell Why Snape protected Harry during the Quidditch match How Snape stopped Quirrell from reaching the Philosopher’s Stone Why Voldemort refused to reveal himself to Snape Snape’s explanation to Bellatrix in Half-Blood Prince How Snape used Occlumency to deceive Voldemort Why Voldemort misunderstood Snape’s love for Lily How Snape gained Voldemort’s trust Why Dumbledore’s death convinced Voldemort of Snape’s loyalty Severus Snape’s true allegiance explained Harry Potter lore analysis and theories Questions Answered: Why didn’t Voldemort trust Snape in Philosopher’s Stone? Why didn’t Voldemort contact Snape through Quirrell? Why did Snape try to stop Quirrell? Why did Snape save Harry during the Quidditch match? Did Voldemort know Snape was protecting Harry? How did Snape explain his actions to Voldemort? How did Snape hide his true loyalty from Voldemort? Why couldn’t Voldemort read Snape’s mind? Why did Voldemort eventually trust Snape again? Did Voldemort ever discover Snape was a double agent? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    How Did Narcissa Lie to Voldemort? - Harry Potter Theory

    Today we’re going to be discussing Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, and powerful mother to Draco—Narcissa Malfoy. Specifically, we’re going to be taking a look at how Narcissa quietly navigated some of the most dangerous people and situations in the entire Harry Potter series, how she managed to remain close to Voldemort’s inner circle without ever fully surrendering herself to him, and how one lie may have changed the future of the wizarding world. Perhaps one of the most significant Narcissa moments happens in the Forbidden Forest when she inspects Harry’s supposedly lifeless body, realized that he was still alive, but still turned to Voldemort and announced that Harry was dead. This would turn out to be one of the most important lies ever told in the wizarding world.
