Potions Professor at Hogwarts

Arrogant, pedantic, gloomy, cynical, rude, lacks empathy, finds fault with everything.

Greasy hair, sickly skin, hooked nose, thin, pale, dark hair falling to his shoulders. 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 black as Hagrid's, but they did not have the warmth that shone in the giant's eyes. Snape was of medium height, with thin lips that were often twisted into a mocking smile. He spoke in a soft, low voice, in which, however, there were notes of steel. He could silence a noisy class with a quiet whisper.

Snape managed to make his Slytherins stop feeling like outcasts and win many victories. The "Green" faculty won the House Cup for 6 years in a row and successfully played Quidditch. However, the idea that Snape always indulges his "snakes" in everything is a misconception. He may not have scolded the Slytherins in front of strangers, but he certainly did not forgive them for breaches of discipline and unsubmitted assignments. He could not have deducted points, but assigned severe detention. Some critics have noted that Snape instilled in his students the old notions of blood purity in order to lull the Dark Lord into a false sense of security, so as not to lose his trust.

He is characterized by such traits as a high level of professionalism, fearlessness, bravery, cynicism, cold-bloodedness, sarcasm, isolation, restraint. He tries to maintain the image of a tough, heartless person, but emotional attachments are extremely important to him. The traumatic experiences he experienced in childhood and adolescence (a difficult childhood, the death of his mother, the death of his girlfriend, the cruelty of the Death Eaters) left a significant imprint on his behavioral portrait in adulthood. Severus is ashamed of emotionality as such and any manifestation of feelings, which is largely a consequence of childhood psychological trauma and constant psychological and physical violence from his tyrant father. As a child, he was a withdrawn child, melancholic, often ridiculed by his peers. The hardest blows were blows to his pride. When Lily saw James and Sirius committing a prank on Snape in their fifth year, she stood up for him, but Severus called Lily a "mudblood". After that, she finally broke off communication with him, and after some time began dating James Potter. Snape joined the Death Eaters around the same time. Severus considers himself unworthy of love, friendship, happiness: In psychologically significant situations, he shows absolute composure and restraint, complete control over verbal and non-verbal manifestations, fearlessness. It is these qualities that allowed him to be a double agent for many years.
