Who on earth would want a lollipop that tastes like blood? Vampires aren't exactly the target clientele of Honeydukes, after all.

So while the homage is fairly annoying when you hold Snape accountable for his actions, it's not entirely unfitting. In some ways, Snape and Aberforth are alike.

When Credence finally meets Aberforth, he asks, "Did you ever think of me?" Paying homage to Snape, Aberforth says, "Always." Aberforth tells Credence to come home, only taking responsibility as a father when his son is dying - and there's nothing that can save him. It's pretty negligent on Aberforth's part, given that it seems like he suspected or fully knew of his child's existence. Meanwhile, in "The Secrets of Dumbledore," following the reveal that Credence is Aberforth's son, it's unclear why Aberforth never bothered to look for him. When Dumbledore asks if he loves Lily after all this time, the potions master says, "Always." In reality, the quote symbolizes Snape's unwavering stalker behavior, but even Harry himself romanticizes Snape's actions when he names his second son Albus Severus. Snape's pining over the woman who turned him down decades ago is endless and ridiculous, to the point where he bullies her child (just because Harry looks like James), and Snape's Patronus is still a stag to match Lily's. It may have even been released before Newt's book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." However, judging by the cover (sorry, librarians everywhere), the book likely paints creatures in a much more negative light than Newt's guide. Some of the titles include "Sonnet of a Sorcerer," which jinxes readers into speaking in limericks forever, "Have a Fiesta in a Bottle," and "Extreme Incantations." But alongside the colorful creations is the dreaded "The Monster Book of Monsters," which means that Harry's textbook is quite old. Of course, there's also one with colorful textbooks, designed mainly by real-life artist MinaLima. One has a golden snitch (which gives off Dumbledore's "Deathly Hallows" will vibes), another has pastries, and one melts - to name a few. As it turns out, the wizarding world isn't quite finished with "The Monster Book of Monsters." When Dumbledore's OG army sets off to confuse Grindelwald and get the Qilin to the election, all but one group member carries a bewitched suitcase that looks like Newt's.
