Let's dive into a popular fan theory about the book version that might just change how you see this devastating moment in the Harry Potter series. The theory suggests that Snape was the only Death Eater who knew there would be multiple Harry Potters in the sky. He was looking for any distinguishing feature to identify the real Harry before his fellow Death Eaters could. When Hagrid accidentally tipped the bike upside down, a killing curse was sent straight to Hedwig.
It's believed that Snape noticed Hedwig was alive and moving in her cage, unlike the other fake Hedwigs, which were motionless stuffed owls. By killing her, Snape would have made her appear just like the others, hiding the true identity of the real Harry Potter. He then flew off, following a different Harry he knew wasn't the actual one.
What do you think about this theory? Does it change your perspective on Snape's actions, or do you have a different take on this tragic event? Share your thoughts in the comments!
