About

"How Dare You Stand Where He Stood" is a quote from the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It is used as a reaction image to express disappointment and anger at a person or thing replacing someone or something beloved.

Origin

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Harry Potter confronts Snape in the Great Hall of Hogwarts and says the line.

In the previous film, Snape had killed Dumbledore. In the seventh and eighth films, he has taken the position of Headmaster at Hogwarts. At the end of the eighth film, Harry confronts Snape and says "How dare you stand where he stood," referring to Snape in Dumbledore's place.



Spread

The moment spread online as a reaction image to express righteous anger at an unwanted replacement. Known early examples of the meme include a Funnyjunk[1] post dated August 30th, 2012, which pairs the image with Wallace from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire welcoming the player to the Hall of Fame at the end of the game instead of Professor Oak (shown below, left). Another example posted to Reddit[2] on September 15th, 2013 pairing the image with Joe on Blue's Clues, the replacement for Steve, gained over 1,600 points (shown below, right).

and then theres another layer when Harry later finds out that Snape did in fact deserve to stand where he stood, being the legitimate successor to Dumbledore's will, risking his life to serve as a double agent against the Death Eaters, while at the same time protecting all the Hogwarts students and helping Harry's quest from the shadows.

The usage of the meme becomes quite ironic actually if you consider the full context
