The thing that gets me the most in the whole Snape vs James argument is people acting as though Lily Evans didn’t have the right to choose for herself. 

It doesn’t matter (especially not to me) if you think Snape “died a hero” and “deserves the girl.” It really, honestly doesn’t matter either that James was a jerk at fifteen.

The whole issue is bigger than that. 

Lily certainly didn’t choose James over Snape. 

She chose herself first. Because Snape was a toxic, manipulative person that was hurting her. 

And I think that’s what we should get from this whole situation. 

Always, always choose yourself first. 

Boom
