What was the situation about the attempted murder in the Screaming Shack? On the surface, Sirius Black used Remus Lupine, who transformed into a werewolf during the full moon, to bite Snape to death, but was saved by James Potter who came after hearing the news.

The story seems very simple, but if you think about it carefully, you will find something strange in it.

Judging from the past grudges between Black and Snape, the incident at the Screaming Shack was an important reason why the two completely formed a mortal feud. But before that, although the two people disliked each other, they did not have a fight to the death. So why did Black want to kill Snape first?

In the original book, Lupine once recalled the scene at that time in a conversation with Harry: He thought Sirius did this just for fun and took the matter lightly. Also in the original book, Snape and Harry also had an exchange about this incident. At that time, Snape said to Harry:"If your pretentious father hadn't backed down, I would have died. He There is nothing commendable about what he did. He saved me and himself. If I died, he would be fired."

Obviously, Snape believed that the mastermind of the murder was not Sirius. Blake, but James Potter. So is Porter really the mastermind? Then we have to see if he has this motive.

The answer is yes.

Potter and Snape were love rivals, and they were the kind of rivals who hated each other. Considering the background of the time: Voldemort had risen and the wizarding world was in chaos, the positions of these two people were completely different. They are not only rivals in love, but also sworn enemies in terms of stance. There has never been anything good to say between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters. When they meet, life or death will be decided.

The murder occurred when they were in fifth grade.

By that time, the two groups were already very familiar with each other, and they started fighting almost as soon as they met.

After five years, even an idiot would know his enemies well.

At that time, the relationship between Snape and Lily was not so tense, and Potter must have discovered that the relationship between his crush and his nemesis was not that of ordinary classmates.

In terms of love and the standpoint of good and evil, it is completely understandable for Potter to want to kill Snape.

As Potter's best friends, do Black and Lupine know about the relationship between Potter and Snape? How can the conversation between boys avoid girls? They must know more or less.

Lu Ping has always been a good-natured person. He can be friendly with Xini, but he will never interfere with others' affairs.

But Blake - Padfoot, he and Mr. Prongs can wear a pair of pants. Whoever makes it difficult for his half-brother, he will never make it easy for the other person.

It was not until the seventh grade when they were about to graduate that James Potter and Lily Evans established a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.

At this time, Snape, as a"1oser", was obviously no longer a threat to Potter.

It's not that important not to kill him.

But don’t forget, the fifth and sixth grade years coincided with the so-called"standing incident" in the school, where one either supported the mysterious man or opposed him.

James has begun to pursue Lily, and Snape is his biggest love rival.

Under the old and new grudges, Potter has enough motivation to kill Snape, and as his"biological brother" How could Blake not figure out what he was thinking? Besides, Blake was already extremely disgusted with Si, so arranging an"accident" was not an unjust favor.

But the next development is very incredible, and it is extremely scary to think about it.

If they succeeded, Snape was in Lupin's mouth. Potter and Black can completely shirk the responsibility, because Black deliberately told Snape about the mechanism through the Whomping Willow, which led Snape to walk into the place that could kill him - and The Whomping Willow is still a restricted area in Hogwarts, and students are absolutely prohibited from approaching it.

As a werewolf, what could Lupine do wrong? Wolfsbane potion had not yet appeared at that time, and werewolves were completely unable to maintain their sanity while transforming. The school specially arranged a place for him to transform, just to stay away from the crowd, but someone tried to get him to die. What does this have to do with the innocent Lupine?

Black could also claim that he didn't reveal any secrets, or that Snape overheard their conversation and went to find out on his own. Blake can definitely pick himself clean.

As for Porter, he has no responsibility.

No one would stand up to speak for the unpopular Snape - except for the"Death Eater Reserves" who were in the trenches with him at the time, but would anyone listen to their words?

In other words, if Snape died at that time, it would really have been in vain.

What was even more terrifying was Dumbledore's reaction at that time.

Afterwards, Snape reported Lupin's werewolf identity to Dumbledore. He did not go to any other professors, not even their Slytherin dean, but went directly to Dumbledore. This shows that What? He trusted Dumbledore even more than his Head of House! You can ask about who a Slytherin would trust more, Professor Snape or Professor Dumbledore.

Without telling his dean, Snape reported to Dumbledore that Lupine was a werewolf and that Black and others planned to murder him. But what did Dumbledore do? How did he deal with the trust of this"little Death Eater"?

Sorry, Dumbledore, who always showed his dignity and integrity, did nothing.

Logically speaking, Black and others should be controlled immediately, awaiting investigation, and be expelled immediately after the results come out, and will be sent to Azkaban. The murder of an underage wizard is a felony - regardless of the identity and identity of the offender. age. This law is still in use today.

Snape came to Dumbledore for help, and he came to this great and upright man in his mind to support him. But the result was that Dumbledore immediately strictly prohibited him from revealing the matter to anyone, and had no intention of seeking justice for Snape.

Alas... Snape's popularity.

Dumbledore's protection of Lupine is understandable, after all, he did not do it voluntarily. But there was no punishment for Black, not to mention points deduction and confinement, not even a verbal warning... Black was still strutting around Hogwarts afterwards.

Dumbledore is no longer tolerant, this is already in the category of connivance. In Solim's view, Dumbledore's approach in this matter was just as despised and despised as those teachers who turned a blind eye to school violence. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - close
