The Snape hate is getting fucking RIDICULOUS. Do me a favor…hate VOLDEMORT for actually being a dick, torturing and killing people, and being the Wizarding equivalent of Hitler. Please KNOCK YOURSELF OUT. He actually deserves your hate! By all means, hate Umbridge. The bitch was a HEINOUS EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING WHO TORTURED KIDS…KIDS!!! Hate Bellatrix, because when you look up psychotic bitch in the dictionary, her face undoubtedly appears. Hate Peter Pettigrew for being the cowardly scum of the earth and for betraying his best friends and killing people quite freaking happily. Hell if you wanna hate Dumbledore for being a manipulative mastermind (who was racist in his youth, and was totally O-FUCKING-KAY with enslaving the entire muggle population) and pretty much STARTING EVERY PROBLEM IN THE ENTIRE SERIES…please go for it! I mean gosh why does no one hate Greyback for idk turning innocent children into monsters and happily munching on people? No…you hate Snape, for having granted pretty severe emotional problems, PSTD, and making admittedly stupid as mistakes when he was in his 20s. I get it, he was mean to his students, he’s a pretty crap teacher, but honestly Dumbledore hired him…and WAS TOTALLY OKAY WITH HIS TEACHING methods. I mean I’m just saying…prioritize people. Also Harry Potter must be an idiot because he called Snape “Probably the bravest man I ever knew” and named his son after him. Wow what a tool.

[adjective]
tending to promote peace or reconciliation; peaceful or conciliatory.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3qrdp0jPG1r47bczo1_r1_500.jpg)
Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its shams, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
