Severus Snape

"Snape was a thin man with pale skin, a hooked nose, and greasy, shoulder-length hair. His cold, black eyes resembled 'dark tunnels': they were as dark as Hagrid's, but they lacked the warmth that shone in the giant's eyes. Snape was of medium height, with thin lips that often twisted into a mocking smile. He spoke in a soft, low voice, which, however, contained a hint of steel. He could silence a noisy class with a soft whisper" - this is how he is described in the book. Snape preferred to wear black robes that fluttered in the wind, which gave him the resemblance to a bat. In general, Snape hardly paid attention to his appearance. His perpetually greasy, unwashed hair was the subject of ridicule and jokes. According to Rowling, he attached more importance to his inner world than to his appearance.

Snape is extremely unpleasant to deal with. He's caustic and sarcastic. He doesn't hesitate to resort to personal attacks and descend to his students' level when making extremely harsh, pointed, and offensive remarks. Snape can also often poke children in the forehead, smack them on the back of the head for chatting in class, or hit them with a notebook for breaking his class rules. Severus became the greatest fear of Neville and many other insecure children, not to mention the poor first year. Severus treats all houses, except Slytherin, of course, with undisguised arrogance and disdain. He's especially prejudiced against Gryffindor. He has no favorites, but he does have certain children he despises the most. Potter, for example, was one of those whom Snape hated because of his childhood grudges against Harry's father. He has a paranoid personality type: suspicious and distrustful. From an early age, Snape divides people into "us" and "them." As an adult, he becomes even more suspicious, as he is a double agent and cannot trust anyone. As a child, Snape was accustomed to suppressing aggression, not expressing it physically. As an adult, he feels the need to criticize and punish others. He ridicules students, openly expresses dissatisfaction, and insults them. Isolation and loneliness. Snape is self-centered and egocentric. But his sense of self-importance gives rise to a feeling of guilt, because if he is capable of everything, then everything bad happens because of him. At the same time, despite his strict disposition and outward composure, Snape was filled with worries and feelings that he hid from others. He worried about Harry, although he expressed his emotions in an unhealthy way. Every action he took was accompanied by a feeling of guilt. Unlike other villains, he had compassion and pity.
