of Snape in the context of the series as a whole, not just the last couple of chapters of the last book. Presumably all of the characters will eventually die, since the Philosopher's Stone and Resurrection Stone are out of commission - so should they not all be listed as "deceased" since eventually they would be? I understand that you are using their status as of the series finale, but what happens if/when Rowling publishes the Encyclopedia of Characters, and describes the eventual death of Harry and the others? If the "present tense" is the proper tone for describing the ongoing events in the series from Book 1, then we cannot suddenly jump out of that form and blurt out that he is somehow "deceased". I think the whole concept of "status" (living or deceased or whatever) needs to go away for all the HP characters, along with their "birthdates" and "deathdates" as sometimes posted in the introductory sections, except in the context of the fuller plot summaries, because it is inherently a universe-perspective time and space problem. None of the characters were ever "birthed" in reality, and none of them ever "died" - only in the context of the ongoing plot do these end-points actually occur. In any case, stating only Snape's "final" status as "deceased" in the infobox is, in my view, improper and unencyclopedic. A section describing his death and the penseive memories that Harry retrieved is the proper place for the final status of Snape. The infobox should represent Snape as he "is" - an ongoing character throughout the entire HP series, not only his "current" or "final" status as of the very end of the last book. The same principle should apply to all the other characters who may have passed during the course of events in the book. The only place the (previously "living") characters are "now dead" is at the end of the stories in the HP-universe, not in the HP-universe as a whole, and certainly not in "ours". --

when he said Voldemort handed Harry unique and deadly weapons to take Voldemort down when he trusted the prophecy. The first weapon was the loyalty of Snape. The second was the shield of Lily's death-love sacrifice. The third was the bit of Voldemort's soul in Harry which allowed him penetrate Voldemort's mind and speak parseltounge. Next was the affinity for the Holly and Phoenix feather wand. Harry's foster family was also a weapon and blessing - he grew up with no friends or love, so he saw no shame in people like the poor Ron or the muggle-born Hermoine (quite unlike his father, who grew up rich and pampered). It also led to him hanging with misfits like Neville and Luna who he valued far more than the "cool" crowd. Perhaps Harry's deadliest weapon was empathy with Voldemort (or at least Riddle) - shared upbringings. Harry's childlike fascination in his first encountered with the wizarding world were shared by Voldemort. Hogwarts was his first real home. Gringott's bank was a symbol of belonging. Harry understood the power they had over an untrained mind and used it to steal and destroy two horcruxes.
1225:... ". My view is that if posting the curse name causes no harm, violates no rules, can be clarified as in-universe, and is notable and helps the average reader in his/her research efforts in cross-referencing, then there is no encyclopedically valid reason to exclude it. To exclude it almost seems to approach hiding useful and relevant information from the reader. What other possible reason would any of us be here editing these articles, besides helping others to quickly find the information they seek? I fear if the article simply says "Snape cursed George's ear off" then the reader would be left with an ambiguous image that either Snape was figuratively relentlessly vocally swearing at George, or perhaps that Snape simply swore at the ear and it fell off in some sort of obediance. The Sectumsempra link and descriptive information clarifies the issue for the reader, and gives the reader a cross reference to read more about it if desired. -- 1598:
Snape only saw the image of the man he hated, who married the woman he loved, not the soul within Harry who detested what his 15-year-old father did to Snape. However, he did difficult, dangerous, and dirty work for Dumbledore and ultimate gave his life to defeat Voldemort. At the very end, Snape's memories served as both an apology and a set of instructions. Snape ultimately was many things to many people. He was often cruel, often angry, often hateful, often spiteful, but deep down he suffered inwardly greatly for the acts of betrayal against Lily Evans Potter (first his use of the world "mudblood" then her death). When he became Dumbledore's for keeps, he was a man taking bitter medicine. He promised anything to Dumbledore, and was bound by it. Overall, Snape lived a very unhappy life.

Canadian, Australian, etc.). So I use what I was taught, except when I happen to know the correct British spelling (eg: "colour" instead of "color"). At some point a bot or a friendly associate from across the pond will correct my errors all in good faith. It is part of the fun in (sort of) sharing a language and an English Knowledge (XXG). The real concern is when we have a fundamental disagreement between some Yanks and some Brits over who has spelling "priority", and an edit reversion war breaks out over it. American youths are not generally taught that there are any spelling differences in modern English, nor what the differences might be, so confusion in topics of special interest to youths can be expected. It has been decided by general
1462:. On the other hand, articles covering subjects on American literature tend to use American spellings. Inadvertently mixing the two styles is not a major problem, it will eventually be corrected, hopefully in a gentle and sensitive manner, and without a lot of yelling and accusations. Deliberately changing spellings back and forth without regard for policies, guidelines, and the style guide is a problem which we need to address from time to time as newcomers stop by for an edit or two. -- 1346:
from what I can tell. As for the ignorant american teenager going through the article and changing it... check the history log for the article. It happens only a little less often than the changes of "skilful" to "skillful". But this article is not about the novel, but about a particular character. Alas, that Scholastic thought so little of americans! That's why I got all my copies off the UK even though I live in the US (and "mum", "sherbert lemon", etc.)

remove the source, shouldn't the entire quote go? And if so, shouldn't the part about him being neglected by his parents go to? I asked Arcayne that on his/her Page, and haven't gotten a response yet. In either case, if the source I provided for the father passage is going to be removed, so should the passage itself, since any other source is unlikely to be provided in the future by anyone.

belongs chronologically (with suitable references to the sixth book as the source of the information). And that being said, the title of the section is also, I think, inappropriate; it refers to events in the 6th book, but is not in keeping with the rest of the section titles. Perhaps a better one here, following on the immediatley previous section, would be

the series. On the other hand, action that takes place before the story's present (ie: in the past) is normally described in the past tense. This includes characters who died before the start of the first book. Thus, Horace Slughorn was a teacher at Hogwarts, but retired before Harry's first year. In Book 6, he returns to the faculty as professor of Potions.

After all, newbies are unlikely to check in with the Talk page before "fixing" the spelling.

these synopses should be written in the present tense, as this is the way that the story is experienced as it is read or viewed. At any particular point in the story there is a 'past' and a 'future', but whether something is 'past' or 'future' changes as the story progresses. It is simplest to recount the entire description as continuous 'present'.

already read the first three books, and for a short time was pretty shocked that someone had dared to make a different cover and a different title for a Harry Potter book. Another reason why the bit about the U.S. title should be added: to keep some ignorant American teenager from going through the article and changing all the

What we are really talking about is deleting the article on Snape's parents and redirecting here; putting one or two lines in this article hardly constitutes what I would call a 1304:
I don't see why this is such a bone of contention, but articles for British subjects retain British spelling.

The article is not ruined or even damaged by their removal, which is a sure sign that they are cruft. We don't need it and, as it is policy to remove it as

I guess I would suggest that if there is a general Consensus that the Sectumsempra spell should be named and linked in the article as encyclopedically useful for the average reader, and doing so would not violate any Wiki Policies, Guidelines, or Manual of Style forms, then it should be presented and

The development of the story in the book is that at first we believe that Snape attacked George. Later, we learn that that is not what happened, and it was in fact an accident. My version of the paragraph follows that evolution in thinking, albeit without the intervening 400 pages. Your version is

Details of creation, development, etc. relating to a particular fictional element are more helpful if the reader understands the role of that element in the story. This often involves using the fiction to give plot summaries, character descriptions or biographies, or direct quotations. By convention,

I rather disagree to this (which might be moot, in view of the new edit, which I haven't examined in depth as of yet). Purple language is that which is unnatural or excessively fancy-shmancy.

Putting the mention of Rowling at the end of that first line ("Lily might have grown to love Severus romantically, Rowling said..") instead of in the prior version ("Rowling revealed in an interview...") just makes no sense. Mentioning her in the beginning is far more clear and sensible. The other

It was a weak statement, as is the one about "near the end of Voldemort's first reign of terror" (I can hear the wailing of Keats as a perpetual motion turbine, spinning in his grave at that).

They were not neighbors. When first meeting Lily and Petunia, Petunia identified him as living in Spinner's End, "and it was evident from her tone that she considered the address a poor recommendation". This explicitly shows that they live near enough each other to run into each other in play areas,

When I said his "motivation" I was talking his motivation for joining Voldemort, become a Death Eater and aligning himself with the blood-purity crowd. I thought I was clear, but obviously I wasn't. We see in the books that Snape had a, shall we say, less than happy childhood, that his muggle father

Because those all have articles, and fairly extensive ones, if I recall correctly. Anyone who's read Potter books knows that the number and breadth of spells cast ina single novel could fill a well-stocked library. there's no point in discussing the spells, as the effect is far more important to the

Factually, your observations are OK. Stylistically, they hide what you are trying to say. That is my whole point of keeping to the active voice. With the active voice, we know who did what to whom. The passive voice muddles and causes the confusion you are describing. I don't know who is doing what.
107:
We keep going back and forth as far as tense; it has been mentioned above. My humble suggestion would be this: events that occur prior to the opening of the first book in the series can be in the past tense ("Was appointed Potions Master... Was born in...") Events that occur as of the opening of the

means that one should not exclude topics on the basis of length or overall size of Knowledge (XXG), not that one can include anything and everything. Snape's parents simply do not satisfy the notability requirements to be in. Again: Knowledge (XXG) is not a fan site to collect all the minutiae from

I find it none too difficult to see that Lily was trying to get in Riddle's way and shield her child. To Riddle, it seemed that the best way to get to Harry, was to kill her. As for honoring Snape's request...I doubt he took it seriously, Lily being Muggleborn and all. Oh, for the record, I take no

There is some implication that Snape does not believe Voldemort will spare Lily (since he is talking to Dumbledore after all), but no confirmation that Voldemort did not at least allow the possibility of saving Lily. Later, in the confrontation between Harry and Voldemort, I misremembered Voldemort

Well, I'm not a member of the HP project, just hanging out here with the Snape page, so it's not for me to say. But it would probably be nice to have something along it in the template. The British spelling infobox occurs in a number of mathematics articles, which is where I remembered it from (not

But I think your listing of Snape's status as "deceased" is also an improper encroachment into "our" universe. For the vast majority of the series as a whole, Snape is alive and well and tormenting Harry, Ron, and Hermione at every opportunity. To be proper, we would need to consider the "status"

Purple, yet accurate. However, the same problem arises - it is an inference, not an observance. We aren't here to chew the food for the reader - that's left up to them to evaluate what they are reading. However, for brevity's sake, I would have ended it with something along the lines of "...that he

So I will try to go through the article and do that. Events prior to Harry's arrival to Hogwarts, even if discovered only later in the books, should be in the past tense. Events starting from Harry's arrival should be in the present tense, through the end of the book. The only exception I can think

It is standard practice, when writing about literature and films, to describe the action that takes place in the story in the present tense. Present tense should be used even when desribing action that takes place in an earlier book in the series, or about facts that have changed by a later book in

I would say that it is very important in understanding Snape and his motivation, the way he rejected his muggle blood and embraced "blood discrimination" or whatever you'd like to call it. The best reason for its inclusion, of course, you gave yourself: the Half-Blood Prince. It was the name of an

It's fairly clearly stated in Voldemort's memory after Harry and Hermoine escape from Godric's Hollow that Voldemort told Lily to get out of the way, and when she wouldn't, he considered tossing her to the side, but felt it was more prudent to kill her instead. HUGE mistake. Dumbledore was right

We do not use spell names in the articles - that is in-universe lingo, and isn't encyclopedic. However, I agree that the second sentence should reveal that intentions behind the missed targeting. I will edit out the spell name, retaining hte rest of the edit. And I am almost positive that my edits

Snape is the most complex character in the entire series. He isn't a nice man. He favors Slytherins, and tormented Neville Longbottom. With Harry, he had a blind spot - Dumbledore's characterization of Harry as a man who looks like his father but has a nature more like his mother is accurate.

While active voice is better generally, and I think most of the changes benefit the article, there is nothing inherently wrong with the passive voice either. In some instances, it even reads better, George Orwell notwithstanding. In particular, I too dislike the constant "The stories/books/novels

I don't think you should, that's too confusing. Why don't we just revert to the original phrase that you gave (prior edit)? It makes more sense and it's easier to read. EDIT: And why do we feel the need to use the word "ambiguous"? I don't even know what that means, and I'm sure that quite a few

They should not have an article (lack of notability), and furthermore there is no reason to have their information here either. Not every bit of information in the books belongs on a page in Knowledge (XXG), as it is not a fan site. I would say that the page on Snape's parents should simply be

I'm sorry about adding to the spelling problem. I made changes to the words "skilful" and "instalment", adding them in as "skillful" and "installment", someone else saw the words and said the British spelling was really "skilful" and "instalment" with just one "l" in the words. Is this right?

A lot of new folk edit here all the time. i remember making the same mistakes when I first started, and it was before I knew to watchlist the pages I wanted to keep an eye on, so I had probably changed the English spellings of at least a dozen film articles before someone sent me a message and

I rather removed it before. Not sure why it kept getting added in, especially after it was remvoed fromthe template shortly after the infobox text coloring was blessedly removed. I mean, Ron's infobox doesn't list his status as "living, currently in the w.c". It's silly nonsense, crufty as all
2024:
Perhaps Snape's article already mentions this (I imagine it does), but it should be noted that Snape's mother was a witch and his father was a muggle. This is a fairly important detail. But other than that, his parents play no part in the story and don't warrant inclusion to any large degree.
1864:
I actually think it was roughly stated that when Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow, he told Lily to get out of his way several times before he eventually killed her. I don't have reference for this, but I definitely remember one of the books having a small section where Lily and Voldemort are
2088:
The reason for the name of the book happens to be in this article: it was the name of the owner of the potions book, and Snape reveals that it was himself. I disagree thoroughly that "his mother's name was Eileen Prince, a witch, his father's name was Tobias Snape, a muggle" is important to

A couple of other things: "Half-Blood Prince" is properly written with a capital "B", because it's a title, not just of a novel and chapter, but a title of a person. Reviewing that novel, and the instances of that title in the text shows that it is written this way. Also, Snape heard
456:
I don't know why this passage keeps getting deleted, but it is appropriate to keep it, because it gives a indication of the time of the event, just as the phrase "Near the end of Voldemort's first reign of terror" is used to date Snape's overhearing the portion of Trelawney's prophecy.

it's the stories that do this. That's a given. It's given in the Intro, which describes Snape off the bat as a fictional character in these books. There is nothing more "passive" in one version than the other, insisting on this change is arbitrary, and makes it read poorly, IMO.
1677:
This is a talk page, not the article. Your criticism would apply, say, in an edit history for your removal of that text from the article. Otherwise, you're just saying that the comment is not substantive by attacking the person who wrote it. This is Knowledge (XXG), not the

as a footnote explaining the nickname "Half-Blood Prince". Even that bit seems, to me and in my humble opinion, unnecessary. I do not see even a single sentence from the Snape's parents article being really useful for merging, though that page should probably redirect here.
1089:
How is using in-universe lingo unencyclopedic? Any article about a fictional universe is going to use that universe's terminology. Word's like "Muggle", "Pensieve", "horcrux" "disapparates", are all in the article, and are all in-universe lingo. What's the difference?

Nothing has indicated this. Snape's fifth year was simply the year that Harry saw when he viewed Snape's "worst memory" in the Pensieve. For all we know, Snape could've revealed this talent in his fourth year. Or third. Or first. It's more accurate to say
1384:
Don't know if it will do much good, but I've added an infobox to the Talk Page identifying this page as one that uses British spelling; I don't think this particular infobox is appropriate for the article page, but perhaps some variant might be put there.

The answer to your question lies within the deleted statement: "what would have been Harry's final year, etc". It's supposition, and cannot be used in that form. A better method would be to tie the event to something that actually happens, not what is

Don't misunderstand, I mean merging whatever is useful, which I suspect would be about a sentence and no more, and then have the parents page redirect here. I don't oppose an almost complete deletion, as there is basically nothing to save.
827:
That is all very true. The infobox is unchanged from prior versions of the article - I simply didn't bother to look at it, save to check the fair-use of the image. I also have a problem with "Deceased" - I'll remove it for now.

I don't care much for the current section "The Half-Blood Prince." Most of the third and fourth paragraphs are not really about Snape; about the only thing that chronologically belongs here is Snape's intervention after Harry uses
