Severus Snape

Severus has a lean build and is 183 centimeters tall. He has sharp features, a hooked nose, arched eyebrows, brown, almost dark eyes, and greasy black hair that is chin-length. He most often wears black robes under the Slytherin faculty cloak. He smells of old books and a pleasant dampness, as if after rain. His favorite flowers are lilies.

Severus is an introverted, withdrawn seventeen-year-old. He doesn't trust anyone and has no friends. He constantly snaps and snares, which most likely pushes others away. He is passionate about potions and the dark arts, and he also creates new spells himself. His Patronus is a doe. He is closed off and trusts few people after the situation with Lily. He treats people he doesn't know well with arrogance and disdain, and he doesn't like being pitied or helped. Severus is passionate about dark magic and studying Voldemort, that is, the Dark Lord.

Severus Snape was born on January 9, 1960, to a pure-blood witch, Eileen Prince, and a Muggle, Tobias Snape (which later led him to call himself the "Half-Blood Prince"). The boy grew up in loneliness, compounded by frequent arguments between his parents. Small fragments in the chapters "Occlumency"[3] and "The Prince's Tale"[4] suggest that Severus's father was an underdeveloped being with a tendency towards domestic violence and possibly alcoholism. Even as a child, the boy notices that his father "doesn't really like anything in particular." And the fact that they live in the poorest part of town, practically in slums, and Severus seems to be wearing his mother's old sweaters, speaks to the family's financial situation. When Severus was about ten years old, he met the neighboring girls Lily and Petunia Evans and realized that Lily, like him, was a witch. He became her frequent interlocutor and told her a lot about Hogwarts, where they were to study together. On September 1, 1971, they boarded the Hogwarts Express train, where they met James Potter and Sirius Black. On the same day, Lily was sorted into Gryffindor, and Severus into Slytherin.

Throughout his time at school, Snape did not have a suitable circle of friends. Due to a number of circumstances, 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 cronies Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew, who (along with Remus Lupin) called themselves the "Marauders". At the end of the fifth year, Snape almost died because of Black's stupid joke - he was almost bitten to death by a werewolf, which turned out to be Lupine, but Potter saved him (however, Snape never believed in the sincerity of James' intentions, although he understood his debt to him). The school's headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, hushed up the incident.

For a long time, Snape was defended by his friend Lily Ev
