Welcome to Gaia! ::

There are a lot of couples mentioned in Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling but there are two that come to mind really makes you stop and feel sorry for the characters involved...real tear jerkers. First off is the relationship between Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin. They each join the Order of the Phoenix and fall in love with one another but Remus deliberately ignores his love for her because he's a werewolf and he fears that he is too dangerous for her. Eventually though he marries her and gets her pregnant he once again let his fears resurface because he's afraid that his son will acquire his werewolf bloodline. Because of this fear he leave her and just when he finally comes to his senses they die in the line of battle during the Second Wizarding War at the Battle of Hogwarts. Yes it is very tragic but there is an even more tragic relationship that really gets the tears running.

The underestimated 'almost' relationship between Severus Snape and Lily Evans...later on Potter.

Snape was the first ever person to tell Lily that she was a witch and taught her all about the magical world and about her being a witch. They were looking forward to being in Hogwarts together and remained best friends even though he was sorted into Slytherin and she was sorted into Gryffindor. He began to study the dark arts because he wanted to become a Death Eater and that was to be his sort of downfall. There was another that loved Lily as much as he did and would often fight for her affections but James Potter was a rich and rebellious boy that liked to bully others for a past time. His favorite person to make fun of was Snape and one day Lily stood up for him only to be called a Mudblood. or a dirty blood, because he parents were Muggles. non-wizard folk. Snape asked to be forgiven and she asked him if he was still going to be a Death Eater and when he couldn't deny it she said, "It can not be helped. You chose your path and I chose mine." That was the end of an almost perfect relationship and in Lily's seventh year at Hogwarts she became Head Girl and James Potter became Head Boy and became a couple.

His feelings for her didn't end there however. Yes Snape did become a death eater and when he overheard the prophecy about the one that would destroy the dark lord he told Voldemort about it right away and when he found out that it was about Lily Potter and her family he told Dumbledore right away thus earning the older man's trust to be the mole sort of speak within the Death Eaters. He had then personally gone to Voldemort and asked him to spare her life and Voldemort gave in to his request and told her that she can live if she just handed over her son. She became the willing sacrifice needed to protect her son Harry for all the years that he had been protected thanks to Snape even though he never wanted her to die.

There is clear evidence that Harry Potter reminds him a lot of Lily and his hatred towards him is indeed perhaps a form of sadness from the loss. Several times he protected him throughout his time at Hogwarts and beyond. Snape protected him his during his first year when Quirrel was cursing his broom. Snape made an attempt to protect him in the Prisoner of Azkaban, and in Order of the Phoenix he taught him how to control his own mind so that the dark lord wouldn't get in. Also when Dumbledore asked him if he still loved her after all this time is answer was always.

I've been thinking about what if Snape had not joined the death eaters. Would Lily Evans have become Lily Snape instead after falling in love with him rather then James? If Harry had ended up being his kid then he could have still protected Lily and she still would have been the willing sacrifice still as well but who would have raised him? The dark lord had fallen that night so maybe Snape could have raised the kid himself but eventually the dark lord does return...what would have protected him then other then Dumbledore and Harry's three friends? Snape would have had to send his son away to live with then but still the story would have been different. Either way.....it was a romance that I'm sad didn't happen....

I love Remus and Tonks. I just hate how they did them in the movie.

Same with Harry and Ginny. I think they totally ruined Ginny in the 6th movie and she didn't get much better in the 7th. I wished they would of still had the who quiddicth final kiss.

Snape and Lily to me are just friends, nothing more.

I know! Harry and Ginny......I just never liked it. I think it's the one thing in the book series that I didn't like.

I didn't mind Remus' death all that much too. I love him and all but I saw it comin'. I feel bad for Teddy too, it's really to bad Tonks died too.

I tought Harry became his godfather and Teddy's grandparents raised him, if I remember well.

Andromeda Tonks raised Teddy.Which is his grandmother/Tonk's mother.

It's noted in the epilogue that Teddy comes over to Harry's house a lot though.

Poll question is a fail xd can you change it to Lupin/Tonks or something?

Haha, that's okay. I just recently e-read the series so I'm all freshed up on my HP. =D
