Product Information

As a student, due to peer influence he changed from the kid who didn’t believe blood purity mattered, with Lily being for a time his sole Morality Pet. Enemy Mine: Zig-Zagged. Snape never really viewed Dumbledore or Voldemort as his "enemies." He was an up-and-coming Death Eater who was trying to be The Mole for Voldemort by eavesdropping on Dumbledore's interview with Sybill Trelawney and heard part of a prophecy warning him against a future threat against him. Voldemort decides that the best candidate would be the child of Lily Potter, which endangered her, and until that time never seemed to consider jumping ship. Indeed, his initial motivation was doubting that Voldemort would follow through on his side of the bargain. Snape likewise resents Harry Potter simply because of who his father is, and who he looks like, and what Harry represents (as Rowling notes "living proof that [Lily] preferred another man"), projecting his loathing of James onto Harry. Snape is torn as Harry is both the son of the man he hated and the woman he loved.

Dumbledore's portrait intimated that once the coup happened, Snape would have to take over as Headmaster because Voldemort would never let McGonagall run the school, and the Carrows are more sadistic than Umbridge. Byronic Hero: Snape is shrouded in mystery for most of the series. His undying, passionate love for Lily motivated much of Snape's actions, with his guilt over her death driving Snape to protect Harry and help bring about Voldemort's downfall. However, this meant Snape had to play double-agent, actively compromising his own integrity to the point of killing Dumbledore himself, and although at the end Snape is ultimately a virtuous man he is still deeply flawed. He is a bitter, brooding man who had never let go of his childhood trauma over his being abused by his father, the complex hate that he has toward James Potter; his love for Lily does not stop Snape from taking out his hatred of James out against his son, Harry, because he sees in Harry a combination of both James and Lily rather than as a separate person, and his abuse extends to other students as well. He and James Potter despised one another within their early days together. Snape resented James for being just as talented as him while having a loving home life, good looks and being talented and social with the others. James seems to loathe Snape for embodying every negative aspect of Slytherin and people like it (especially given the rise of Voldemort at the time) while also because Snape was close to Lily despite being... well, Snape. James' fancying Lily was just the icing on top of the cake. It's unknown when exactly it boiled over to full-out hate between them, but given how James and Sirius were pranksters, it's likely that Snape ended up being pranked by them and Snape's pride had him lash out. The main antagonist of the Fantastic Beasts franchise was Gellert Grindelwald. While Johnny Depp played him in the first movie, Mads Mikkelsen played him in the sequels. This really changed his personality and what went into his wand. What is known is that Grindelwald acquired his wand before he started his education at Durmstrang Institute, and he used it throughout his school career and then as an adult when he began plotting his evil mission. However, Grindelwald eventually gave up his original wand after using it against Gregorovitch, and he then stole the Elder Wand.Serjeant, Jill (14 July 2011).

Apathetic Teacher: Mixed with Brilliant, but Lazy. Merely following Snape's one-decade-outdated school notes allows Harry to come off as a genius potion-brewer. One can only imagine what results he could get from his students if he actually cared enough to teach them properly. Indeed the only time Harry does well in his Potions class is in the fallout after he sees "Snape's Worst Memory" where he ignores Harry during class allowing him to focus on his assignment and creating a good sample... which Snape "accidentally" breaks. During the OWLs, the fact that Snape isn't overseeing them actually inspires Neville and Harry to do well. It's implied Potions isn't Snape's first choice as a teaching position and he'd prefer to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, but Dumbledore won't let him until Half-Blood Prince because the position has been cursed by Voldemort and anyone who gets the job doesn't keep it more than a year due to various incidents and he still needs Snape for other purposes. On 30 June 1997, Snape reluctantly killed Albus Dumbledore, casting the Killing Curse with this very wand, [8] in a previous arrangement to spare Dumbledore a terminal condition that would have brought a more painful death. [9] He also duelled Harry in his escape from Hogwarts, deflecting and anticipating all of his opponent's moves. [5] J.K. Rowling: Snape died for Harry out of love for Lily. Harry paid him tribute in forgiveness and gratitude. He was never fully redeemed in the public eye following the war, as most people still believed he murdered Dumbledore (but didn't know of Dumbledore's Thanatos Gambit). He wasn't even given a portrait at Hogwarts, having abandoned his post as opposed to retiring or dying, until Harry requested one.
