In his youth, Severus Snape was not only a gifted wizard with an amazing thirst for knowledge, but also a man with unusual hobbies and hidden passions in his heart. His childhood and youth were spent in the shadow of secrets and magical experiments, but even in this darkness he found moments for creativity and inspiration.

One of his favorite activities was studying ancient magical manuscripts and spells hidden in dusty books of abandoned libraries. He would sit for hours in secluded corners, immersed in the study of forgotten spells, restoring their power and meaning. His eyes lit up with a bright fire when he discovered new knowledge - after all, magic for him was not just a tool, but a real art.

Snape also showed an interest in alchemy. In his youth, he created complex elixirs and potions, experimenting with ingredients that most wizards considered dangerous or forgotten. His laboratory was a real kingdom of alchemical magic: glass flasks, metal cauldrons, candles flickering in the semi-darkness, and the smell of strange mixtures filling the room. He could brew potions for hours, perfecting recipes, or create unique spells that he later used in his research.

Sometimes, to distract himself, young Snape liked to walk through the forests around Hogwarts, collecting rare herbs and roots for his potions. He admired nature, listening to every rustle, every quiet whisper of the wind, finding a special harmony and peace in this solitude.

Another of his passions was the art of magical illusion and stealth. He created complex magical disguises and spells that allowed him to become invisible or change his appearance. In his youth, he often practiced the art of disguise to master the art of secret movement and remain unnoticed.

Pettigrew: At school, Severus, if he noticed Peter, it was as nothing more than a sidekick to James and Sirius. Pettigrew, due to his weak magical abilities, did not do any real dirty tricks… Dumbledore: The relationship between Dumbledore and Snape was not entirely trusting. Mainly because Albus had been used to keeping information from others since childhood. Snape was also initially reluctant to tell the headmaster everything. Although these two did not particularly need to fully voice their plans and thoughts: both were smart enough to read between the lines. Minerva McGonagall: Snape and McGonagall have always had a largely competitive relationship. Severus Snape is the Head of Slytherin, and Minerva McGonagall is the Head of Gryffindor. Before Harry Potter came to Hogwarts, Slytherin had won the Hogwarts Cup for six years in a row. But in their seventh year, Gryffindor won, to the delight of McGonagall, who had always supported her house and was proud of it. Snape shook her hand in disgust and accepted defeat. Lucius: When Snape entered Hogwarts, Lucius was already in his last year. He, the prefect of Slytherin, was the first to shake the hand of the new first-year student at the faculty table on the day of the sorting. And this endeared him to himself for a long time: everyone is flattered when their older comrades appreciate them, and the respect shown was in sharp contrast to how Severus was treated at home. Surely after this, Snape carefully observed the manners and actions of Malfoy Sr. It can be assumed that Lucius' ability to maneuver among the powers that be admired Snape, who loved all sorts of difficult tasks. It is quite possible that Severus adopted some of Malfoy's techniques.

Sirius Black: September 1, 1971, Hogwarts Express. Little spoiled "star boy" Sirius, on whom his parents had placed such hopes, flaunts his disregard for family traditions in front of James. Apparently, his mother went too far with her scandals: the boy chooses not the Blacks' beloved Slytherin, but the hated Gryffindor. Moreover, everything connected with Slytherin reminds Sirius of his parents' home, in which he, even as an adult, feels, to put it mildly, uncomfortable. Therefore, he happily picked up the nickname that James came up with for Severus, once again proving to others and to himself that he is not like all the Blacks. Sirius is not at all callous or heartless: he is capable of love and compassion, but is completely incapable of putting himself in someone else's shoes. His tactlessness can even offend a friend ("James, stop catching the snitch so skillfully. Or Wormtail will wet himself with delight"). Not to mention Snape, whom Black considered an enemy almost from the first meeting. And the vindictive Severus pays him back a hundredfold. Remus Lupin: Remus has always been able to look at a situation from the outside, separate emotions from facts and judge a person by their actions. He is horrified by the antics of Sirius and James, and by the puppy-like delight that these antics bring to Wormtail, but these are his friends, people who were able to turn a blind eye to his shortcomings. After all, most wizards shy away from werewolves. So Remus turns a blind eye to all the outrages that happen right under his nose. He values the friendship of these three too much... No, he never insulted or offended Severus. But the fact that he never condemned (at least in public) the other "marauders" turned Snape against him.

Parents: Little Severus was not loved by his father, and his mother, apparently, did not love him too much. Or, at least, she did not particularly show her love. The sullen and taciturn Eileen Prince was not used to demonstrating her feelings. Although the fact that Snape called himself "Half-Blood Prince" at school speaks of his respect for his mother. And he most likely chose Slytherin (yes, yes, he chose, the Sorting Hat takes into account the wishes of the students first and foremost) because his mother graduated from this faculty. Lily Potter: Bright, sunny Lily attracted Severus' attention in childhood. She was the only one among the local kids who did not shy away from the native of the neighboring slums, the son of "those Snapes", who did not laugh at him, dressed in his mother's rags, who first of all saw him as a person, and not a poor ragamuffin. In addition, Lily, without realizing it yet, was a sorceress, and this made her completely "his own" in Severus's eyes. It seems that Snape belongs to a rare type of monogamous man, and Lily became his only love for life. Moreover, Snape's attitude towards other heroes of the novel often directly depends on how they treated Lily Evans, or what role they played in the relationship between Lily and Severus. James: The boys first meet on September 1, 1971, in a carriage on the Hogwarts Express. The self-confident, superficial James stands in stark contrast to the withdrawn Severus. Potter's immediate criticism of Slytherin ("Who wants to be in Slytherin? I'd leave school right away!") is perceived by Snape as criticism of his mother. She is a former Slytherin, and told her son only good things about her house, undoubtedly scolding Gryffindor. Snape's hatred of James only grows more and more with each passing year.

According to the Harry Potter storyline, Severus Snape was bullied by the Marauders, a group of students that included James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Some of the actions they took were: forced Snape to choke on soap; they hung him upside down in front of the whole school; They poured pond slime down his pants. The reason for the bullying was the rivalry between the houses: Gryffindor (where the Marauders studied) and Slytherin (where Snape studied) had long been vying with each other for the honor of being considered the best house at Hogwarts.

For a long time, Snape was protected by his friend Lily Evans, with whom he was in love, but she was greatly frightened by Severus's passion for the Dark Arts and his attitude towards other Muggle-born students. In the end, she broke off communication with him, and after some time began dating James Potter.

Severus Snape was born on January 9, 1960, to a pure-blood witch, Eileen Prince, and a Muggle, Tobias Snape (for this reason, he later began to call himself the "Half-Blood Prince"). The boy grew up alone, to which his parents often quarreled. Small fragments in the chapters "Occlumency"[3] and "The Prince's History"[4] give reason to believe that Severus' father was an underdeveloped creature with a tendency toward domestic violence and, possibly, alcoholism. The boy already notes in childhood that his father "doesn't particularly like anything at all." And the fact that they live in the poorest area of the city, practically in the slums, and Severus seems to wear his mother's old sweaters, speaks of the material condition of this family. When Severus was about ten years old, he met Lily and Petunia Evans, two girls from his neighborhood, and realized that Lily, like him, was a witch. He became her frequent companion and talked a lot about Hogwarts, where they would study together. On September 1, 1971, they boarded the Hogwarts Express, where they met James Potter and Sirius Black. That same day, Lily was sorted into Gryffindor, and Severus into Slytherin.

Throughout his education, Snape did not have a suitable social circle. For a number of reasons, he became a member of a group that included Lucius Malfoy, Avery, Mulciber and other Slytherins, who later became Death Eaters. Snape was constantly attacked and bullied by James Potter and his friends Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, who (together with Remus Lupin) called themselves "the Marauders". At the end of his fifth year, Snape almost died because of a stupid joke by Black - he was almost mauled by a werewolf, who turned out to be Lupin, but Potter saved him (however, Snape never believed in the sincerity of James's intentions, although he understood his duty to him). Headmaster Albus Dumbledore hushed up this incident.

Severus Snape is described as having a "skinny, pale appearance, round but angular shoulders, a jerky, spider-like gait, and long, greasy hair that fell over his face" in his youth. Snape preferred to wear black, flowing robes that made him look like a bat. His eyes were black.
