At this point it seems fairly conclusive that Snape is a villain with zero heroic potential. But the mystery still remains because there are patches of light that indicate that Snape may be loyal to the Order of the Pheonix after all.Īnd then Snape does the unthinkable: He kills Albus Dumbledore. Snape is the one that relayed the prophecy to Voldemort that would eventually lead to the death of both of Harry's parents. Snape is the Half-Blood Prince who had a habit for writing nasty spells in his potion’s book. Snape and Harry’s father were enemies in school. We learn all sorts of nasty things about Snape. He was a bully, spiteful, and at times just flat out mean. Aside from Voldemort, Snape was the seemingly evil contrast to Harry. Snape's abysmal behavior toward Harry prohibits him from understanding how Dumbledore could possibly trust Snape. However, Dumbledore again and again expresses that he trusts Snape implicitly.
Every time something goes wrong, Snape appears to have a hand in it. Snape becomes the lightning rod for all of Harry's suspicions in the next three books. But why? Why would Snape try to save the boy that he so openly loathes. In the very first book, it appears that Snape is attempting to kill Harry but it is later revealed that Snape had been attempting to save Harry. This suspicion remains a theme of the novels until the very end. Snape openly dislikes Harry and his friends from the very beginning, which leads Harry to question Snape's loyalties early on in the first novel.

However, even from the start, there was always some sense of mystery surrounding Snape. I'm not kidding.įor those who have read the books, we can probably all agree that Severus Snape has been a pivotal character in the Harry Potter series since the very beginning. The books are just too good to ruin! Even if you've been watching the movies – stop now before I give away the ending. I'm fairly certain that most everyone has read Harry Potter, but if you haven't you should probably stop reading.
