Snape's worst memory Snape 5th year Snape while studying at Hogwarts At the end of the fifth year, Hogwarts students take the OWL exams . After one of these exams, the students, rejoicing at a good June day, went out to the shore of the lake . And it just so happened that Severus was located on the grass not far from the four " Marauders ". James was playing with the Snitch , Peter was applauding him admiringly, Remus was reading a textbook... And Sirius, looking at this idyll, complained of boredom. Moreover, he complained in such terms that it became clear to James: if the Tramp is not distracted, he will begin to fight with the "marauders" themselves. The most suitable object for entertainment seemed to him Snape. And James Potter attacks Severus for no apparent reason. Attracted by the noise of Potter and Black fighting Snape, other students began to rush to the scene. Snape's attempts to defend or attack in response were repulsed by Expelliarmus , he, unarmed and cursing furiously, was subjected to an Excuro (cleansing spell), which made soap suds come out of his mouth, and in the end Snape was hung upside down in the air. As he did so, his robes pulled back, revealing Severus' dirty underpants. This is what Harry saw in the Pensieve , where the adult Snape dumped his worst memory precisely because he was afraid that the young Potter could see him during their Occlumency classes . And now - about what Harry could not see. More precisely, he saw how his future mother demanded that James Potter let Snape go, and he heard Snape say that he " did not need the help of a lousy mudblood ". But what did these words really mean? In the sixth year, Harry Potter gets potions textbook , which, as it later turned out, belonged first to Snape's mother, and later to Snape himself, where he wrote down refinements to recipes and spells invented by himself (and only by himself) in the margins. Among other things, there is also the spell " Levicorpus " marked "(nvrbl)". That is, the spell must be pronounced non-verbally, not out loud. The spell hangs the victim upside down in the air, exactly as Snape was suspended. How did James know him? After all, a spell cast "to oneself" cannot be heard from someone and learned "from the voice." In the same sixth year, Professor Horace Slughorn never ceases to admire Harry's success in Potions, constantly repeating that the boy inherited his mother's talents. But young Potter inherited not talents, but Snape's textbook, following the instructions of which he achieved excellent results. And the question arises: was this the source of success for Lily Evans? After all, Snape was in love with her. And he could well give her his textbook to brag: here, they say, how smart I am, I know the whole program a year ahead. And Severus, hanging in the air, quickly calculates this whole chain: the non-verbal spell he invented - the entry in the margins of the textbook - the textbook was given to his beloved Lily Evans - the spell was used by Severus' enemy James Potter. Therefore, when Lily stands up for Snape, he, blinded by rage and resentment, calls her "Mudblood".

In 1977 or 1978, right out of high school or in his senior year, Snape joined the ranks of the Death Eaters. In 1980, at the Boar's Head Inn, he overheard part of Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy that a man was coming who could defeat the Dark Lord. He told Voldemort about this, and he decided that we were talking about the son of James and Lily Potter . The distraught Snape asked the Dark Lord not to kill Lily, but he did not respond to his request. Then Snape came to Dumbledore and asked him to hide the Potter family. Snape himself went over to Dumbledore's side.

Then, from Snape's dying memories [6] , it becomes clear that this insult was the last straw in the relationship between Lily and Severus ... Black then tells Harry that his mother started dating James already in the seventh year. In any case, both Lily and Severus could not forget the humiliation of one and the insult of the other. Especially Severus. Snape, who cannot forgive, realizes that he is gradually but inevitably losing the only person who treated him with sincere kindness. The only girl he loves so much. Snape is a Death Eater. Disclosure of the Prophecy Snape 1980 Snape in 1980 In 1977 or 1978, right out of high school or in his senior year, Snape joined the ranks of the Death Eaters. In 1980, at the Boar's Head Inn, he overheard part of Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy that a man was coming who could defeat the Dark Lord. He told Voldemort about this, and he decided that we were talking about the son of James and Lily Potter . The distraught Snape asked the Dark Lord not to kill Lily, but he did not respond to his request. Then Snape came to Dumbledore and asked him to hide the Potter family. Snape himself went over to Dumbledore's side. Dumbledore convinced the Potters to use the Fidelius Charm , but the keeper of the Secret, Peter Pettigrew, turned out to be a traitor. Late at night, Voldemort came to the Potters' house. He killed James and wanted to spare Lily, but she shielded her son with her . Not thinking more about Snape's request, Voldemort killed the woman, however, trying to kill the boy, he disappeared himself. Snape in the Potter House Severus embraced Lily's body Upon learning of Lily's death, Snape was beside himself with grief, life had lost meaning and color for him. But then Dumbledore asked Severus to help protect Lily's son from Voldemort so that her sacrifice would not be in vain. For the sake of Lily, he agreed, taking the word from Dumbledore that the director would never reveal the secrets of his love to anyone, would not tell anyone that Snape was guarding James Potter's son. Dumbledore publicly announced Snape as his secret agent, thereby saving him from prosecution, took him on the staff of Hogwarts as a Potions teacher and appointed the dean of the Slytherin faculty .

Severus Snape has been at Hogwarts since 1981 . He probably succeeded Professor Slughorn in this position . In any case, during Harry Potter's studies at Hogwarts (1991-1996), Severus Snape was the dean of Slytherin and professor of potions , and from September 1996 he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts , while continuing to be the dean. He made no secret of his dislike for students from other houses, especially Gryffindors, and used every opportunity to deduct points from them or impose disciplinary action. (In the films " Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire " and " Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix " - in the latter even with Umbridge- Snape even cuffs students who talk in his lesson, but, according to some viewers, this image of Snape does not fit with the one described in the book). It is only logical that Snape was loved by the Slytherins and unpopular among students from other faculties.

Gradually it turns out [8] that Professor Snape is a double agent: both Albus Dumbledore and Voldemort consider Snape their man. To all the hints of members of the Order of the Phoenix about the possible betrayal of Snape, Dumbledore replies that he has long and sincerely repented. But at the end of the sixth book, Snape kills Dumbledore in front of Harry with the Avada Kedavra spell , and then hides with other Death Eaters . Harry hated Snape and swore revenge on him.

Snape also returns some of the old rules introduced at one time by Dolores Umbridge . For example, the registration of all organizations and the ban on regular gatherings of more than three people. This also helped the new director to protect the students. Firstly, he knew exactly what kind of organizations were going to Hogwarts, because those loyal to Voldemort (and Carrow, as his representatives) would register officially, quite openly declaring the nature of their activities. And secondly, he stopped the possibility of the formation of semi-underground gangs that would attack the students. After all, if Amicus allowed the use of Unforgivable Curses in the classroom, someone would be tempted to use it outside of school hours .. Snape also took care of some of the teachers. Neither Sibyl Trelawny nor Florence were expelled from the castle.

As headmaster, Snape was not liked by most of the students who tried to rebel against him and his deputies. Almost everyone at Hogwarts equated Severus Snape with the sadistic Carrow. The courage of Snape, who continued to cautiously but effectively protect students, is striking, without meeting any support either from his deputies or from the old professorial staff of the School. In the depths of Hogwarts, a student rebellion is brewing. First, Neville Longbottom , Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley try to revive Dumbledore's Army , then some students are forced to go underground, hiding in the Help Room . It all ends with the return to the castle of Harry Potter , Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger . Now this is no longer an underground, but a real war. Having received the news that Potter is in the castle, Snape tries to find him. And not because Undesirable Person No. 1 has a rather big award. Severus has a bigger task.

However, Snape did not have time to say anything to Potter. The situation changed radically with Harry's return to the castle. Having defeated brother and sister Carrow, Professor McGonagall entered into a duel with Severus. And when Professors Sprout, Flitwick and Slughorn joined her, Snape was forced to flee the castle. It is noteworthy that Snape uses the ability to fly without a broom, which, apart from him, is used only by Voldemort.

Although Lord Voldemort received the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave, she refused to listen to him. He decided it was because Snape killed Dumbledore and now the Elder Wand actually belongs to him. That is, the Dark Lord correctly judged that the "spirit" and "body" of the wand are separated, and, while owning the wand itself, he does not own its power. He was mistaken only in who the wand considered its true owner, but Tom Riddle found out about this later. In the meantime, he ordered Nagini to kill Severus in order to become the full owner of the Elder Wand. Why Nagini? Because it is necessary to kill Snape in a magical way (ordinary Mugglethings like a knife or a revolver with a magician may not work, and it’s not the place for the Dark Lord to kill in such a simple way), and the Elder Wand may disobey if directed at the true owner. Nagini's venom is fast-acting and deadly , not inferior to basilisk venom . Voldemort leaves Severus to die in the Shrieking Shack, without noticing Harry, Ron and Hermione, hiding in a secret hole and watching Nagini deliver fatal blows. After waiting for the Dark Lord and his terrible pet to hide, Harry rushes to Snape. Alas, he sees no way to help him. With difficulty, Snape croaked: "Gather", and Harry sees that not only blood, but also his memories are flowing from Snape's wounds. Substituting the vial conjured by Hermione, the young man collects a substance that can be viewed in the Pensieve of Memory . Snape's last wish was to see Harry's green eyes, which are so similar to Lily's. After the Professor's death, Harry runs to the Headmaster's office and looks at the collected memories in the Pensieve. It turns out that Severus loved Lily Evans all his life., and has been loyal to Albus Dumbledore to the end since Voldemort decided to go against the Potters, and Dumbledore did his best to save Lily and her family.

Harry accepted this death, but for a number of reasons was able to return to life. During the final duel between him and the Dark Lord, Harry opened Tom Riddle's eyes to many things. Including the fact that Snape loved Lily Potter all his life and could not forgive Voldemort for her death. And the fact that, having killed Severus, Tom did not become the owner of the Elder Wand, because Snape never owned it. The power of the most invincible wand passed to Draco Malfoy , who disarmed Dumbledore a minute before his death at the hands of Snape, and from Draco to Harry, who defeated Malfoy in a magical duel. Oh, and by the way, Dumbledore's death wasn't murder. Snape simply fulfilled a long-standing request of the old director, who had no more than a year left to live from the effects of the curse of the Marvolo Ring .

Snape was a thin, pale-skinned man with a hooked nose and shoulder-length greasy hair. His cold, black eyes were like "dark tunnels": they were as black as Hagrid's, but they did not have the warmth that the giant's eyes shone with. Snape was of medium height, with thin lips that often twisted into a mocking smile. He spoke in a soft, low voice, in which, however, steel notes were felt. He could silence the noisy class with a low whisper. His [Snape's] eyes were black, like Hagrid's, only they didn't have the warmth that the giant's eyes shone with. Snape's eyes were cold and empty and for some reason resembled dark tunnels.

A person who had a clear logical thinking (few wizards can boast of this [10] ). In the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Hermione solves a logical problem with potions, compiled by Professor Snape. A prudent strategist, a skilled tactician. A person who can perfectly hide his feelings, if necessary for the case. Good psychologist. At least finding the “pain point” of the interlocutor for Snape does not seem particularly difficult.

Perhaps the most complex and controversial relationship is associated with Harry Snape. On the one hand, the protection of the boy is a kind of tribute to the memory of the deceased Lily. And about the one for whom the beloved woman gave her life, Severus does not forget for a second. But at the same time, Harry is the indirect cause of her death. This duality in the perception of the younger Potter intensified when Snape saw how similar the boy was to his father, the hated James. On James, who took Lily from Severus and failed to protect her. Throughout the six years of study, Snape gets quite a distinct pleasure from all sorts of nasty things and jokes that he says about Harry (what he did not know how or could not afford to address James). However, in the depths of his soul, the professor is gradually imbued with warmer feelings for the boy. From the first year of acquaintance with Potter, Snape never hesitated for a moment to protect his life and health in any situation. Harry does not notice the striking contradiction between what Professor Snape says and what he does . And the further, the more impudently responds to Snape's attacks. From “ But I think Hermione knows for sure, why don't you ask her? ” in the first year [11] , to a completely boorish phrase: “You don't have to call me "sir," Professor. » on the sixth. [12]

September 1 , 1971 , Hogwarts Express . The little spoiled "star boy" Sirius, on whom his parents had such hopes, flaunts his disregard for family traditions in front of James. It can be seen that the mother with her scandals went too far: the boy chooses not the Slytherin beloved by the Blacks, but the Gryffindor they hate. Moreover, everything connected with Slytherin reminds Sirius of his parents' house.in which he, even as an adult, feels, to put it mildly, uncomfortable. Therefore, he happily picked up the nickname that James came up with for Severus, once again proving to others and to himself that he was not like all the Blacks. Sirius is not at all callous and not heartless: he is capable of both love and compassion, but is completely incapable of putting himself in the place of another. With his tactlessness, he can even offend a friend ("James, stop catching the snitch so skillfully . Otherwise, the Tail will now piss with delight"). What can we say about Snape, whom Black almost from the first meeting wrote down as enemies. And the vindictive Severus pays him handsomely.

At school, if Severus noticed Peter, it was no more than he sang along with James and Sirius. Pettigrew, due to his weak magical abilities, did not do real tricks ... The question remains when exactly Snape found out about the betrayal of the Tail , but that he knew about this betrayal is beyond doubt. And the fact that Voldemort settles Peter in Severus's house, as if as an assistant, speaks of the Dark Lord's attempt to once again test Snape's loyalty. It was said above how Professor Snape treated Neville Longbottom only because it was not Voldemort who planned to kill him. You can imagine how much Severus hated the man who had handed Lily over to certain death. And the endurance of Snape, who showed only a slight dislike towards Pettigrew, is admirable.

Initially, listening to the opinion of senior Slytherin comrades, Snape admires the great Dark Lord. No wonder he becomes a Death Eater literally immediately after graduating from Hogwarts . But getting to know Voldemort closer and closer, he realizes that he was deeply mistaken in this person. For Severus, who is capable of great love (no matter how hard he tries to hide it), the Dark Lord's soulless attitude towards other people is unacceptable. And the Master's open hunt for Lily Potterand her family and completely transfers Snape to the camp of Voldemort's opponents. When the Dark Lord, despite Snape's best efforts, kills Lily, he unambiguously writes himself down as the mortal enemy of the Potions Master. From now on, the destruction of Voldemort becomes the life work of Severus Snape. And he became one of those who hated the Dark Lord with all his heart. At the same time, Snape quite adequately assesses the magical power of the enemy, never underestimating his strength one iota. Always on the alert, calculating in advance all possible options for behavior, he perfectly copes with the role of a double agent. Not only that, Voldemort considers him to be his very valuable Death Eater, superbly informed, intelligent and prudent. Even killing Severus, the Dark Lord does not doubt his loyalty. He kills Snape only because he considers him an obstacle to masteryElder stick .

Hermione Granger from the first meeting is in the top three of the most unloved students. He does not like that she is trying to prevent Harry Potter from being bullied and helping Neville Longbottom with tips. He ignores her raised hand and does not accept her answers to questions, no matter how correct they may be. Even more, Snape's dislike for the student intensifies after she sets fire to his robe at a Quidditch match. Hermione firmly believed that she was preventing Professor Snape from conjuring Harry's broom: the rebellious broom threatened to throw the boy off a decent height. In fact, Snape was whispering a counterspell, interfering with Professor Quirrell, who had just bewitched the broom. It seems that the theft of boomslang skins from the closet in the second year did not contribute to the rapprochement between the professor and Hermione. (It is not clear, however, Interestingly, Hermione tries to be objective towards Snape, constantly justifying his actions in the eyes of Harry and Ron . Even more interesting, in the sixth year, the boys take the side of the Half-Blood Prince, not knowing who is behind this nickname, and Hermione, on the contrary, is outraged by his "perverted sense of humor."
