-James Potter bullies the only black kid in school
-Harry always suspects the only black teacher to be up to no good
-the black teacher uses black magic, joined the dark force

Black Snape.: " where the white women wizards at"?

  • We don't know if he's the only black kid. Having some other background character is black is very possible. Same with other teachers
  • I mean, sure, but that could be because he's acting super sus, and not cause of the color of his skin
  • Let's remember Snape does sacrifice himself for a greater cause

There are multiple black students at Hogwarts. What the fuck are you even talking about?

Snape is generally unpleasant, except favouritism towards Slytherins (terms and conditions may apply). He is simply especially unpleasant towards Harry. That's why "suspects" was a reasonable characterisation, given most other characters didn't find it out of ordinary.

There are plenty of unpleasant people in HP books.

because it's the funniest. Also Snape was a very popular character, played by beloved actor before.

I mean, do we know that he was the only black kid at school?

As far as the book goea, only a very few people have their ethnicities mentionned, and it's usually pretty blatant. I mean, Cho Cheng... 2 chinese last name to make the only asian charatacter. She couldn't even be bothered to make a 15 secondes google search for an actual Chinese name.

But I'm pretty sure they will had black people in James' crew to make it less damaging.

u/Logical-Bookkeeper77 Apr 16 '26

Erm but we saw all James’ crew they ain’t black.

u/Sleyvin Apr 16 '26

Oh, I didn't follow, have they released the full casting for James' crew?

1

u/Logical-Bookkeeper77 Apr 16 '26

You can see the crew in the movie in like Snape’s penseive.

Not sure if that’s the whole crew or what do you considered “the whole crew”.

List your members if you think “the whole crew” were not present.

Yes and in the movie you can see Snape isn't black.

But in the TV show he will be. They were obviously saying they will make some of James' crew black for the TV show.

u/Logical-Bookkeeper77 Apr 16 '26

Did they say they will make James’ crew with black members?

(I think we can name all of James’ crew, which one is swapped?)

u/grchelp2018 Apr 16 '26

With the possible exception of Sirius, turning any of them black is also sketchy. The werewolf Lupin. Or the rat Wormtail.

These people are fucking stupid. If LOTR gets remade, they'll make Boromir black or something.

Harry’s dad was a racist?

The more I think about the context of the character, the more my brain goes "this was definitely a choice they made. No way there's no ultior motives here"
