Severus Snape

Stern, incredibly demanding of his students. Distrustful and eternally suspicious of everyone. Aggressive. Prefers to be alone, especially in the evenings. Self-absorbed and egocentric. Cold-blooded and reserved. (He is gentle, loving, and kind only to Lily Evans and the memories of Lily Evans.)

A 30-year-old man with pale skin, long shoulder-length black hair, black eyes, a height of 180 cm, a hooked nose, and thin pale lips.. He has almost no wrinkles (there are a lot of them in the film), only on his forehead because he often frowned. At his age, he has a strong body and strong, masculine hands, although he was thin as a child. His voice is soft and low, but often rough; there was always a hint of steel in his voice. He could silence a noisy class with a quiet whisper. His gaze is arrogant, irritated, often tired, and contemptuous. He prefers to wear a black robe, a black waistcoat, under which a black high-collared shirt, black trousers, and black business shoes.

Severus was a talented wizard even in his childhood. It was apparent through the notes and scribbles in his potions textbook that he made time during classes to invent curses, charms, and clever potion innovations, while simultaneously learning the required textbook lessons.

Severus's potions textbook contained a few spells and curses which he was credited with inventing: Levicorpus, which grabbed the victim by the ankle and dangled him/her upside-down, and Sectumsempra, which caused slashing bloody cuts (guided by the wand gestures of the caster, like a blade/sword) which bled extensively. Levicorpus somehow escaped from Severus's secrecy, and became very popular around Hogwarts towards the end of his fifth year at school. Some other spells included Muffliato, which filled the ears of anyone nearby with an unidentifiable buzzing sound and another hex that caused toenails to grow at an unnaturally fast rate.

Shortly before Lily Evans was murdered by Lord Voldemort, Snape changed sides and became a member of the Order of the Phoenix as well as a double agent during the Second Wizarding War. With tremendous difficulty, Snape prevented Voldemort from learning the truth about his loyalties.

Severus was made a member of the Slug Club presumably because of his talent in Potion-making. Horace Slughorn even kept a picture of him as a student, clutching his copy of Advanced Potion-Making. However, Horace did not actually have many hopes for Severus's future, as his photograph was kept behind many others.

Severus started at Hogwarts with Lily in the 1971–1972 school year, where he was Sorted into Slytherin House. This put him in the same year as Lily but unfortunately for him she was Sorted into Gryffindor House. Severus became the immediate enemy of James Potter and Sirius Black and was a frequent victim of their bullying. This led him to be irritable towards James's son Harry when he was a professor. Snape, when young, developed a passion for the Dark Arts, which increased as his desire for revenge against his bullies grew stronger.

Ronald Weasley: "You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don't want to be told?" Severus Snape: "Detention, Weasley. And if I ever hear you criticise the way I teach a class again, you will be very sorry indeed." — Severus Snape giving Ronald Weasley detention after the latter defended Hermione Granger

Professor Severus Snape was an English half-blood wizard serving as Potions Master, Head of Slytherin House, Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as well as a member of both the Order of the Phoenix and a Death Eater. His double life played an extremely important role in both of the First and Second Wizarding Wars against Voldemort.
