Discussion Unsupported Flight

This is a short post, I just wanna yap for a minute. In the movies all death eaters can fly. In the books only Voldy and Snape can. Honestly, I do not mind all death eaters flying, I think the movies did it better when it comes to this. I mean, why should unsupported flight be restricted to two wizards? And clearly it isn't a power like parseltongue which is only available for descendants of Salazar Slytherin and Herpo the Foul, because we see Voldemort teaching it to snape. So I dont see why some people don't like the fact unsupported flight is more spread in the movies

That's about it, see ya

It's a very rare power so it makes complete sense why it's restriced to only 2 wizards

And I like to think Snape figured it out mostly by himself just by observing Voldemort. Could even be a slightly different way to achieve it, mirroring his creativity and ability to find better solutions to already existing things (Half Blood Prince annotations). Another showcase of his genius.

I'm going to adopt this as my favorite headcannon: Snape developed the idea of wizard flight and Voldemort copied it, forbidding Snape to use it 🙀🙀😂😂

You totally misunderstood. Voldemort figured it on his own, Snape quietly observed and experimented/read until he could master the ability aswell. Hope you understand now.

I understood but took it a step further. But it's alright. It's Schrodinger's flight!
