Hey, brother! Why can't anyone ever piece together why Dumbledore trust Snape, or at least

that Snape had a crush on Lily? And by crush, I of course mean was obsessively in love

with her for basically his entire life. Toxic? Ah! Yes. Yeah, not really up for debate. But they

seem to be pretty good friends at school, at least for the first few years.

Magonogal would have observed them as students, and Remus, Sirius, and Peter would have had a front row seat to a ton of their interactions, as would many of the Slytherans like Avery and Mulsabur. Given their future death eater status, you'd think that they'd take great notice and have a big problem with their fellow Slytherin spending time with, you know, muggle-born

Gryffindor's.

After all, Voldemort literally gives Bellatrix and Narcissa crap at Malfoy Manor because

their sister's daughter married a werewolf.

Also known as niece, but somehow bestowing auntie status to Belotrix via Tonks? Seems wrong.

But no, apparently Snape's love for Lily is so unobvious to everyone else in the entire

wizarding world that it ends up being the secret that upends Voldemort's entire regime.

Along with, you know, Harry sacrificing himself and stuff, that was pretty cool too.

But how can this be? How can nobody have realized that Snape was in love with Lily?

Even Harry can't figure it out and he literally goes inside Snape's memory and sees Lily stand up to the Marauders on behalf of Snape. I mean, not that anyone's ever accused, theory, of being great with girls or anything.

I just said if maybe you want to go to the ball with me.

You know, she's got nice skin.

Open up you.

But we recently got a comment from viewer Luke Robertson 2115, who had a very interesting idea about why nobody can piece together this apparently super complicated puzzle.

Here's the question.

What if the secret is literally magically hidden by the Fidelius charm so that it's impossible for anyone to find out unless they are told?

And the more I thought about this, the more it started to make sense.

I mean, if nothing else, it means characters like Lupin and Sirius weren't stupid, they
