▲ 12 r/SeverusSnape
Snape's first words to harry.
"what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
Victorian flower language: Asphodel= "my regrets follow you to the grave" wormwood= absence/bitterness
Translation: "I bitterly regret Lily's death" he's actually confessing on page 1
