I used to be a fan of Severus/Lily, but after reading some fan insights and having discussions about it, I realized that Lily is a b***h.

Somehow I fell onto the Severus/Hermione bandwagon, although I detest stories that try to put them together in some sort of kinky student/teacher thing. If we can bend canon to allow them together, there are plenty of ways to do it that don't involve being gross.
I also like Bellatrix/Voldemort and Lucius/Narcissa, probably because of makani's silly art of them. If you haven't seen her work, I'd suggest you check out

Oh, and Dumbledorexcrazyhats
I'm a Snily shipper, and I don't think Lily's a "b***h" in any way. How does marrying the man that she loved make her a b***h?
I don't care that she married James, lol.
Never forgiving Severus for an insult that he not only apologized for, but that she knew had been caused by the Marauder's childish actions was a pretty bitchy move. For being heralded throughout the series as some sort of wondrously kind character that everyone loved, it seems illogical for her to just cut off a friend like that.
What happened to trying to be nice to other people even if they aren't in your house of choice, you know? Part of me thinks that if the Slytherin members were treated better, they'd have less of a dark wizard problem in their world.
Woah woah woah.
First of all: It was not just "an insult". It was a racial slur. It's an incredibly harmful thing to be called. Hermione ended up crying when a boy she HATED called her a mudblood. Imagine how much it would hurt to have a FRIEND call Lily that?
And this was not an isolated incident. This was 5 years of Snape doing a thousand tiny things that hurt Lily, and him never listening to her. Hanging out with racist pre-death eaters. Dabbling in dark magic. And Lilt tried to make him understand how much that hurt her, and he ignored her feelings.
So no, it makes perfect sense that after 5 years of Snape treating her like s**t, Lily finally had enough. She didn't deserve to be trapped in an emotionally abusive friendship.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it was "emotionally abusive." He did still love and care about her, after all. However, I do agree with everything you said. Calling a Muggleborn a "mudblood" s pretty much the equivalent of calling a black person the "n" word.
Though, I honestly don't think that Sev took that high of an interest in the dark arts on his own. Rather, I feel like most of what he did on that front was done on his part to combat James. And James behaved like a raging a*****e to combat Sev. As far as those two were concerned, Lily was just collateral damage in their feud.
But Sev grew up, like James did. Yes, he was still bitter, and he treated his students like s**t, but everything else her ever did, he did for Lily. Don't forget, Sev begged Dumbledore to "protect them all" because he knew that Lily's only real happiness was with James and Harry. That's far from selfish.
James wasn't a saint, but Sev wasn't the Devil, either.
