Severus Snape

Professor Severus Snape (born 9 January 1960 - died 2 May 1998) was Potions Master (1981-1996), Defence Against the Dark Arts professor (1996-1997) and Headmaster (1997-1998) of Hogwarts, which he attended as a student from 1971 to 1978. Snape played an essential role in both wars against Lord Voldemort.

Severus Snape was a half-blood wizard, the son of the witch Eileen Prince and the Muggle Tobias Snape. He was raised in a Muggle house on Spinner's End, very close to the Evans family home. He met Lily and Petunia Evans when he was nine years old and fell in love with Lily, becoming her best friend. In 1971, he began his first year at Hogwarts, where he was sorted into Slytherin. Severus became the immediate enemy of James Potter and Sirius Black and was a frequent target of their pranks.

Snape developed a passion for the Dark Arts at a young age and favored pure-blood supremacy in Slytherin House, despite his love for Lily Evans, who was Muggle-born. This jeopardized his friendship with Lily. At some point during their school years, he had a falling out with Lily, and their friendship ended. After leaving Hogwarts, he joined the Death Eaters, along with several of his fellow Slytherins.
