well the people that say that are soooo wrong. it is 150% James but i guess they think that because snape loved her and in the beginning আপনি can tell she liked him before she met james. go to
link and in the beginning of snapes memories as shown আপনি will see his adventures with lily as children. আপনি will see that in their first বছর at hogwarts lily and james met in gryffindor and eventually got married and snape and lily were separated when snape was put in slytherin. আপনি will see that people must think this because of the প্রণয় connection between lily and snape, anthough james is totally harry's father, not snape. Also, later in the memories, আপনি will see that snape sends his patronus which is a doe (hmmm....) and dumbledore says "after all this time?" and snape replies, "always." hmm.... as আপনি can see, lily, james, harry, and snape's patronuses are all types of deer. so when আপনি hear this আপনি aren't really sure what this is supposed to mean and আপনি really don't get much help from the বই either. Some people think that to have the same patronus as another person আপনি must be blood-related somehow... which is possible but not really mentioned in the series, বই অথবা movies...anyway, i think some people might get the idea from this misleading conversation অথবা idea. দ্বারা the way, this scene is in DH (part 2) when snape dies and harry takes the tears to the pensieve and মতামত snape's memories. Also, something interesting: snapes patronus is not a হরিণ it is a doe, same as lily's. This makes me believe that if আপনি প্রণয় someone truly, your patronus is the same as theirs- it depends on what kind of situation. So because snape's patronus is Lily's, i guess people who believe the blood-related patronus thing must think that he is related to harry because harry is related to lily...Therefore, i think the reason why dumbledore says "after all this time?" is because he just figured out that because his patronus is a doe then he is in প্রণয় wth lily. and snape probably says "always." because he is saying that he has always loved lily.
