12!!Pet Project contains these tropes:
13
14%% * {{Arc Words}}: Severus's oft-repeated "Lie to others. Never lie to yourself."

16%% * {{Alliterative Name}}: Arrosa Alverez
17%% * {{Angrish}}: Snape, when he finds out about [[spoiler: Harry dabbling in the Dark Arts]].

23%%* {{Birds of a Feather}}: Snape and Hermione
24* BlackAndGrayMorality: Dumbledore even says that many of Voldemort's followers follow him based on old loyalties and fear. The Order and many of the other protagonists are biased when it comes to any house but Gryffindor and [[spoiler: Harry is using dark magic]].
25%% * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: Snape tries. It doesn't work.
26* {{Character Tic}}: Hermione sitting on her hands and sparking when she's angry.
27* {{Cerebus Syndrome}}: The second half is a lot darker than the first.

41%% * {{Dramatic Irony}}: Crops up a lot in regards to S.N.O.R.T.
42%% --> '''Snape''': Children are always so sure that others are interested in their little lives and secrets. As if a seventeen year old girl had secrets that I'd be interested in.
