If I had a nickel for every big name Harry Potter fanfic writer who started their own cult, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Oh man, are we talking about Snape wives?? I because every time I remember them I just have to stare off into the distance for a while.

I’d have three nickels.

What is a Snape Wife? Someone fill me in on all these Harry Potter cults 😂

Snape wives (or as they called themselves, Snapeists) were an online cult made mostly of middle-aged women who believed the following

  1. Severus Snape is an omniscient, unkillable entity residing on the astral plane.
  2. Snape is the one true god.
  3. Snape possessed JKR to write the Harry Potter books, but she got several things wrong; most importantly Snape dying.
  4. The spirit of Snape abandoned JKR because she wasn't good enough for him and created the Snapists instead.
  5. Snape chose several Snapists that have a special connection with him to lead his religion.
  6. Snapists can serve Snape by marrying him and becoming sister-wives (there was lots of debate on if they could have boyfriends/husbands other than Snape in the real world).
  7. Snape contacts his followers who are worthy, both in dreams and by possessing real life people.
  8. To be worthy of Snape, you need to be... basically a tradwife. Obey Snape in all things, never question him, don't be independent, be pretty, be thin, only have feminine hobbies, etc.

The snapewives wrote a crazy amount of fanfiction about Snape, both erotic and otherwise. Plus they had their own prayers, ceremonies, shrines... shit was wild. The whole religion fell apart when one of the leaders criticized Snape and was subsequently bullied out of the community and another decided that the one true god was actually Jethro Gibbs from NCIS.
