"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling has revealed to the muggles the reason why Harry Potter had named his second son Albus Severus.
Following the events in Rowling's final novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," many fans conveyed their curiosity on why Potter had named his second son after Professor Severus Snape, along with Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, according to News.
On Nov. 27, Twitter user Jasmine sent a tweet to Rowling, asking the reason why the latter had picked Snape to name Potter's son after, despite of the professor's complexities and abusive attitude towards everyone in the novel and in the film.
On Nov. 27, Rowling answered Jasmine's question. She wrote on Twitter that Snape had died for Harry out of love for Lily, so Harry had pain him tribute in forgiveness and gratitude.
In another tweet, the "Harry Potter" author also said that Snape was all grey and one could not make him a saint, as he had been vindictive and bullying. Snape had not also been a devil as he had died to save the world of wizards.
For Rowling, Potter had hoped in his heart that he would also have been forgiven, as the deaths at the Battle of Hogwarts would have haunted him forever. In the end, despite the love and fury Rowling had received on Twitter, the "Harry Potter" author wished Snape lovers, haters, and "in-betweeners" a good day.
Albus Severus was set to feature in new West end production "The Cursed Child," which opens in London in 2016, NME reported.
