This does not seem to follow as a reply to the grandparent.
Snape just had his first kiss because he wasted his life with a creepy obsession with a girl that was not available to him rather than growing up and living life like a sane person. Doesn’t everyone acknowledge/assume that?
One thing that may have prevented this unfortunate (and pathetic) turn of events may have been persuasive advice from mentors. Advice like “Lily is shallow” would have been better than nothing. Far more useful would be advice that encouraged the development of emotional self sufficiency and rudimentary ability to apply the concept of ‘fungibility’. Or a ticket to a Tim Minchin concert.
