Como o Professor Snape se impediu de se tornar um Obscurus?

5

Citando o artigo da HP Wiki sobre Tobias Snape :

Tobias had a very poor relationship with both his wife and his son; when Severus was younger, Tobias frequently shouted at and hit Eileen whilst Severus crouched in a corner, crying. The memory of watching his parents fighting would haunt Severus even into adulthood, as witnessed during an Occlumency lesson given by him to Harry Potter.

It is likely that Tobias was equally abusive or at the very least neglectful of Severus, given how much Severus despised all Muggles. Even at a very young age, Severus noticed with pain how his parents fought; it caused him a great deal of distress, and he was quite happy to be able to leave the house to visit his friend Lily Evans.

The fact that Tobias lived near a textile mill may have given some indication of his occupation or socioeconomic status. Tobias's eventual fate is unknown, although it is likely that he had died by 1996. Tobias may have been an alcoholic or drug addict, or might have been unemployed, given how he frequently abused his wife and son, lived in a slum neighbourhood and his son wore ill-fitting, dirty clothes.

Esse foi o caso, o que impediu Severus Snape de se tornar um Obscurus?

Porque ele não tentou reprimir seu poder.

Um Obscuro se forma em uma circunstância muito específica - quando a jovem bruxa ou bruxo tenta ativamente suprimir suas capacidades mágicas. Não apenas para abuso geral - enquanto isso definitivamente terá efeitos negativos na criança e eles provavelmente crescerão emocionalmente (e possivelmente fisicamente) com cicatrizes, se eles não estiverem tentando suprimir sua magia, então o Obscurus não se formará.

JACOB: Can someone please tell me what this Obscurial - Obscurus - thing is? Please?

TINA: There hasn't been one in centuries.

NEWT: I met one in Sudan three months ago. There used to be more of them, but they still exist. Before wizards went underground, when we were still being hunted by Muggles, young wizards and witches sometimes tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution. Instead of learning to harness or to control their powers, they developed what was called an Obscurus. It's an unstable, uncontrollable Dark force that bursts out an attacks... and then vanishes.

Enquanto Snape certamente recebeu abuso ...

When Lily asked Young Snape if his dad, the Muggle Tobias, liked magic, Snape's answer was short but said a whole lot: 'He doesn't like anything much.'
Pottermore

... não há provas de que ele tentou suprimir sua magia por causa desse abuso.
