Why Snape Never Actually Died - Harry Potter Theory

Hey everyone,

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be exploring the possibility that potions professor Severus Snape never actually died.

We see what we believe to be Snape dying in the Deathly Hallows, after Voldemort thinks that he needs to kill Snape in order to become the true owner of the elder wand. We of course later find out that Snape died in vain, as he was never the true owner of the elder wand at all - and was unnecessarily killed by Voldemort. However, what was always interesting about Voldemort killing Snape was that he didn’t do it himself-he used Nagini.

"The Elder Wand cannot serve me properly, Severus, because I am not its true master. The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. You killed Albus Dumbledore. While you live, Severus, the Elder Wand cannot truly be mine."

“My lord!’ Snape protested, raising his wand

‘It cannot be any other way’ said Voldemort. ‘I must master the wand, Severus. Master the wand, and I master Potter at last’.

And Voldemort swiped the air with the Elder Wand. It did nothing to Snape, who for a split second seemed to think he had been reprieved: but then Voldemort's intention became clear. The snake's cage was rolling through the air, and before Snape could do anything more than yell, it had encased him, head and shoulders, and Voldemort spoke in Parseltongue.

"Kill."

There was a terrible scream. Harry saw Snape's face losing the little color it had left; it whitened as his black eyes widened, as the snake's fangs pierced his neck, as he failed to push the enchanted cage off himself, as his knees gave way and he fell to the floor.

Nagini ‘killing’ Snape, rather than Voldemort using Avada Kedavra-which would surely end his life- does actually leave the door open a little bit. Particularly as it’s supposedly Nagini’s venom that ends up bringing Snape to his inevitable demise.

There are a couple of things that support the fact that Snape may not have actually died, watch the video to find out more!
