Snape's last words imply his urgent desire to get a glimpse of Lily Potter's eyes, a woman he had loved his entire life and for whose death he felt largely responsible.
12. Snape's Last Words. In the [Deathly Hallows] book, Snape's dying words to Harry were "Look at me". Right then we did not realize the significance of his words but in the very next chapter when Harry goes through Snape's memories in the Pensieve, he comes to know how much Snape loved Lily.
"The first thing Snape asks Harry is "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning 'My regrets follow you to the grave' and wormwood means 'absence' and also typically symbolised bitter sorrow.
Professor Snape is dead on Voldemort's orders, and Harry saw it all. In his dying moments, he told Harry to take his memories and look at him one last time. Voldemort's voice then sounded through the corridors, challenging Harry to meet him in the Forbidden Forest in an hour. This is the end.
Those tears from Snape were because he had just been bitten by Nagano but he was also thinking about Lily and how he was going to be with her therefore, his tears were partially caused by his memories with Lily.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
He doesn't trust Snape as Dumbledore does, but he believes that he can detect any disloyalty. Moreover, Voldemort regards Snape as highly intelligent and therefore ' as a true Slytherin ' a person whose top priority is to take care of himself. To his twisted mind, selfless equals stupid.
It's a word that gained so much more clarity and tragedy after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows revealed that the nefarious Professor Severus Snape was actually serving a nobler cause: protecting Harry from Voldemort out of love for Snape's childhood friend Lily Evans.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
At one point, Snape is named as a Death Eater by Igor Karkaroff, but Dumbledore comes to Snape's defence, claiming that although Snape had indeed been a Death Eater, he changed sides before Voldemort's downfall and turned spy against him.
He said, 'According to Victorian flower language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning “my regrets follow you to the grave” and wormwood means “absence” and also typically symbolises bitter sorrow. If you combined that, Snape's words mean “I bitterly regret Lily's death”.
Similarly to Harry, Snape's patronus represents a person. In the memories he gives Harry before his death, Snape shows Dumbledore his patronus, using the form to prove his love of Lily Potter, Harry's mother.
Partly because he regarded Lily as the one decent thing in his life and he wished to see something besides the walls of the Shack which held nothing but evil memories for him, so gazing into Harry's eyes gave him a measure of peace amidst his suffering. Because no one deserves to die alone.
In the first movie the the scene of the troll you can see that snape has a bleeding leg, why? Snape was bitten by Fluffy the three headed dog. When Troll was released, he went to make sure that no one was after the stone as everyone was distracted by the troll.
In this scene Snape gives Harry his tears so that Harry can bring them to the pensieve. The purpose of this is simple: give Harry the full story- and help him to understand his tragedy - 'The Prince's Tale'.
Harry, on the other hand, believed Snape to be a loyal Death Eater and the murderer of Dumbledore. Harry held Snape responsible for Dumbledore's death and would not have believed anything Snape said. It was more effective to give Harry the tears that he could put in the Pensieve and see the memories for himself.
Despite Snape killing Dumbledore, it is learned that they had a special agreement for him to do so. When he died, it was revealed that his deep strong love for Lily Evans caused him to redeem himself, joining Dumbledore's cause for her protection (and, after her death, that of her son) from Lord Voldemort.
Voldemort Never Figured Out Snape Was A Spy
He openly despised some of his Death Eaters, even the loyal ones like Luscious Malfoy.
Lily brought light and warmth into Snape's life from the moment they met. He was an isolated, lonely child whose magic would have only made him more of an outsider in his hometown of Cokeworth.
In order to preserve his position as a trusted Death Eater, Severus Snape was forced to tell Voldemort the true date at which the Order planned to move Harry.
Because Snape felt that Harry was his only remaining tie to Lily, and working with Dumbledore to protect Harry was his only remaining way of expressing his love for Lily, by honoring her memory. Dumbledore did keep up his part of the deal. He hid the Potters. He did everything he could to keep them safe.
For somebody who so clearly loathed Snape for his rather twisted thought, it seems unlikely that Dumbledore would have been very friendly with him afterward. They developed a mutual respect, that goes without saying.
Narcissa's greatest moment, however, was when she chose to betray Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Not knowing whether Draco was alive or dead, Narcissa chose to lie to the Dark Lord rather than risk losing her son.
Draco says she suffers from a “blood malediction,” which ultimately ends up killing her the summer before Scorpius's third year. While it isn't clear that Astoria's and Nagini's conditions are the same, Draco's description of her illness seems to match up with new information from Rowling's tweets.
Ultimately, his need to survive and protect his family would lead Lucius to betray Voldemort. With the Dark Lord defeated, he and his wife Narcissa turned in every Death Eater they could to avoid being imprisoned in Azkaban.
