Do you think its possible that Snape used to like Bellatrix or maybe Bellatrix used to like him? I think Snape might've liked Lily but anyways, do any of you think Snape/Bellatrix existed?

Bellatrix is married to Rodolphus Lestrange (I think that's his first name). JK Rowling did, however, say that Snape had been loved before, and I, for one, am super curious to find out who loved someone like that. Snape is possibly my favorite character just for the fact that he's so mysterious and you can never guess what's going on with him. I do hate him for what happened at the end of HBP.

I agree with Kittykat49. I really want to know who did Snape love? Was it Lily...By the way aqualove, you seem to be really interested in the ships! Keep it up!

I think everyone wants to know who loved Snape, It could be Bellatrix but it could also be someone else (like lily). But for this topic let us assume that it was Bellatrix . If it was Bellatrix than it would've been a long time ago, before she was married with Rodolphus Lestrange (does anyone know how long she is married with him?.
I don't think it was Bellatrix who loved Snape, but off course it could be her

I also want to know who loved Snapey before. =) But I also like the Bellatrix/Snape pairing. They're both so evil! =)

uh..wow i think that snape will get with bellatrix because one snape IS supposd to fall in love in book seven and who better than one of his fellow death eaters? and because i thought maybe narssissa but she is with malfoy so it has to be belatrix

I never really thought about this because I have always thought that regardless of the fact that Voldemort can't love Bella had a thing for him. If its true and Snape is supposed to find love I think that it is very possible it could be bella. Or another Death Eater because I am convinced he is evil.

Yay! I'm not insane! I'm not the only one who totally thinks that Snape likes Bellatrix! I am really happy right now, cause I thought I was the only. And people were saying it was Narcissa, and I thought they were wrong, and look, they were! Yay! And 'evil' is such a strong word, people should just leave it alone, shouldn't they my love? My love? Oh, he's gone missing again. Well, this is more important anyways. I mean, yeah there was all this tension when they met, seeing as they both believe that they are the Dark Lord's favorite, even though we all know that it's me, and why do I have to tell people that every day? It's so me! And yes, I think that there may have been a triangle betweeen Snape, Bellatrix, and Narcissa, or some other character, it really doesn't matter, but that's why they're so not happy about each other, cause they're so much alike, and since it's opposites that attract, but sometimes the same thing makes people mad (Like I don't like people who are just like me, it is really annoying). So that's what I think, in short, cause I'm actually thinking about a lot of things right now, more things than you can ever imagine, cause that is a lot of things, you know. And, they'd be so cute together, and since Narcissa isn't all that avaiable, Snape would be better off with Bellatrix, and since she can't have the Dark Lord cause he's mine, all mine, they're perfect together! And cute nonetheless, which always helps.

I think this ship extremely likely in the past, but is no longer. Why does Bellatrix not trust Snape? Because she worked with him and probably taught Severus Occlumency during the Death Eater days. Plus think of the double date with the Black sisters! Lucius/Narcissa with Severus/Bellatrix. The blondes and blacks ~it would be one sweet manga moment.

You should've seen the expression on my face when I saw the title of this thread as Snape/Bellatrix... I thought I was the only one who had my eye on that couple!
I always assumed that Snape and Bellatrix dated each other for at least a little while before Bella got married. And then maybe Snape ditched her or something, and I figured that Bellatrix was still bitter about that, and that was why she's always going on and on about why she doesn't trust him... that's what I always thought.
On the other hand, I find a relationship between Bella and Snape now to be a little impracticle... Bella's got a husband already, folks! But, then again, maybe witches and wizards can get divorced. You never know... *shrugs*

The major problem I have with a Snape/ Bellatrix relationship is that they come from two different backgrounds. Also what we don't know about Bellatrix's past. I was of the opinion that Mr. Lestrange was in the generation with Tom Riddle. I'll have to reread, but I thought that Lestrange was one of the coterie around Tom in the memory provided by Slughorn. If that is an accurate memory, Bellatrix would theoretically also be in that same time period which was 50 years before Harry, and seems to be about 30 years before Snape's time. Now it could be a May-December romance, but I just am not so sure.

However if the age difference objection is overcome, then I think the two deserve each other. Although I think the mutual desire to become the Dark Lord's favorite, would be a tough wedge to get past.

Maybe it before Bellatrix wed LeStrange. However she is 9 years older than Snape according to the sketch JKR made. But let us suppose it was during her marriage. Maybe in teaching Occlumency she ‘fell in love’. It would help explain why Sirius hates Severus. Plus there is an interesting clue on the tapestry if you think about it right.

NO NO! a thousand times no this ship toatally clashes with 2 of my fave ships Voldy/Bella and narcissa/snape I mean look in hbp you con toatally tell that snape has a thing for narcissa and bella loves voldy

i thought they argued the whole time at the begining of hbp? why in the world would they like eachother that is one of the most unlikly pairs i could possible think of lol.

First of all, I think that Snape likes only himself. If, by any chance in his whole life, he liked someone, I'd bet it could be Lilly Potter and/or Narcissa. His heart and feelings are more worried about hating all those around him. Snape and Voldemort have the same problem: they have family issues that even magic was not able to help them solve them. Isn't there any wizard shrink? Well, let's wait for book 7, maybe J.K. Rowling would have explained a little about Snape's mind.

I thought about this too, before.
And since when did Death Eaters have morals??
[jk] haha, well, if they did, I'm guessing it ended badly.
They don't seem to like each other at all.
But anyhoo, I dont think so. It'd be cool if Narcissa liked Snape like that [now, before]
because he seemed to be the first person she came to for help [about Draco]

I dont think there is any chance of this hapening, during the scene at spinners end, we can see that Bellatrix looks down her nose at Snape, he is only Half-Blood after all and she is a pure blood!!

Also Bellatrix feels that Snape abandoned Voldermort, while she, her husband Rudolphus Lestrange, Barty Crouch Jr and Rabastan Lestrange were in Azkaban, as loyal followers.

I think that there is a possibility that Snape loved Narcissia, he was prepared to make an unbreakable vow for her and has always favoured her son at hogwarts above all others. She may have loved Snape at some point, but not been allowed to marry him as he is not a pureblood.

I dont like that she looks down on him.
Bunch of hippocrits, look at Voldy.
Maybe he trusts snape cause he can see that they both have so much in common, more than the other ppl. Its intresting too, Snape and Voldy. And Harry. Are snape's parents even alive?
And as for the Narcissa/Snape thing, maybe it was a high school thing. Or just a Hogwarts/School thing, where they went out and broke up. But I doubt it, Snape wasent popular. No one liked him I think, I wonder if he had any friends

true...she always tends to treat him as an inferior...and plus he is a half-blood; even more reason for bella to hate him...since she's a pureblood maniac...and as for snape; I don't think he's capable of loving himself than another person...so yea...personally I don't think it would ever work...and it would probably be too shocking if they did end up marrying...

JKR found it revolting the idea of Snape being in love with anyone. But she did indicate there was somebody at one time who did love him. Or at least thought she did. So with that info you can probably surmise it’s someone into the Dark Arts and crazy.

Crazy Bellatrix matches up well. The fact she knows him enough to not trust him speaks volumes. I nominate her as his most likely teacher for Occlumency. That would mean the ultra disturbing teacher/student ship may be at work here. ew

I wrote one of my fan fics on this (Shadows in the Dark scrolls one and two), but I'm really going on this. The question about her being mad with him, well I made my own theory that is so wrong, but I wrote about it, so I'll just put it here. So, Snape was the one who actually attacked the Longbottoms (explaining partially why he's kinda mean to Neville), and yet she was the one to take the blame for him so he could go take alliance with Dumbledore, since that was so important to the Dark Lord and to Severus. He promised to come back to her, and save her, but he never did, and she grew angy waiting for him. That's for the theory that I wrote about in my fan fic, and I know I hardly have anything to back it up with, but it's a theory nonetheless.

~Aeryn~

I have always been a strong shipper of these two. I mean, look at Ron and Hermy. They're always at each other's throats. But what does this reveal? A hidden flame waiting to kindle. I took one look and Snape and Bella in Book Six Chapter Two and saw that they had LOVE written all over their faces. Too bad for Mr. Lestrange (can't remember his first name...)

Besides the fact that I'm writting a Fic based on this, ignore that for a moment, and let us delve into more pressing matters. Oh, I wrote here already; twice. Oops, didn't remember that, probably cause it's been a while. Anyways, I don' think that the reason they're so angry at each other is similar to Ron and Hermione, but something that happened in the past she hasn't forgiven him for yet. I proposed that Snape was the one who actually tortued the Longbottoms, but she and Lestrange (whom she was forced to mary by her family, apparently, according to me, which I forgot until yesterday) took the blame for him to finish out the Dark Lord's work. He promised to come save her, and she didn't. Hence she's mad at him. And I just re-wrote what I wrote before. As if this contributed anything... Oh, and the Dark Lord is mine, just incase anyone forgot. Yeah, um, yeah he's all mine. I claimed him, so there. Never mind that Bellatrix had a momentary thing for him a while ago, she left him, so he's all mine. Anyways, yeah. Well, Snape and Bellatrix are similar in character also, I do believe. So let's examine that aspect, shall we? Oooh! Well, Bellatrix feels betrayed by Snape, so she set out to blame him for everything else; she's really not that mad at him, she's just faking it. And now.... My life is over....

...this is so.. wrong. i believe they've hated each other from the start. it's sort of, impossible..

...i mean, they're personalities are way too different. besides, bella would never consider snape. she thinks he's way below her level, since he's halfblood, and a poor one at that. being a black, bella would certainly be concerned of these things. if she could turn against her halfblood kin (tonks), how much more on a nobody? (at least, i think that's how he sees snape.) snape on the other hand (i like his character, by the way) is way too obsessed with lily (while she was alive) snd to his conflicting emotions with harry (when lily died, ofcourse.) before harry came to hogwarts, i think snape was kinda troubled.. he was thinking: how would harry look like? will he be like his beautiful and charming mother, or like his arrogant father? and when harry was at hogwarts, snape was battling his anger to kames that seemed to have channeled on to harry, and his overwhelming urge to protect the last living reminder of lily's existence.. so, snape couldn't have been bothered by the mundane matters of bella's existence.. aside from the fact that she was at azkaban most of the time..

I think I like arguing too much...
We only know of them hating each other since the beginning of book six, really. Whose to say that that hatred is new founded, that it has a basis that was previously that of love? I still think that love doesn't have to be justified, and it is possible to fall in love with the wrong person, right? Like, someone completely different from you, so I don't think that's a valid argument. I deny Snape/Lily by the way, so don't factor that in to the response on this... I think that they did love each other in the past, and that it was an irrational love for both of them; Bella grew up to despise Muggles, and yet she loves a Half-Blood. It's like how Sirius grows up in the same family, and his best friend marries a Muggle, and he's cool with it! Maybe there's just something wrong with his family...
What if her hatred of Muggles is also a newfound thing? Like she didn't really hate them before, then she fell in love with him, it ended in a way that you have to read my fan fic if you want to understand, and her disappointment caused her to hate everything that reminded her of him? Seems possible to me...
I feel like I'm writing a Soap Opera...
So, to sum it up. Bella fell in love with him despite her upbringing. He fails her (read Years of the Hourglass to get that part), and she changes that love into hate. I can't really describe the love, not here, but I've justified it to myself at the very least.

~Aeryn~

Well.... It could be possible. I think it would be more like a love/hate relationship. They seemed at each other's throats, which happens sometimes when there is an attraction between two people that don't want to accept it. You could have something there..
