Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Severus was promptly sorted into the Slytherin House. This neglect and abuse most likely led to his usually sour attitude. Regarding his father, Severus said that 'He doesn't like anything, much'.

Severus seemed anxious to leave for Hogwarts because of the distance he would be away from his parents. It is also said that Severus had a difficult childhood with abusive parents, though this was never gone into great detail. Revealing the truth and potential about magic to Lily, a Muggle-born, Severus spent a great amount of time with her and is considered to be Lily's first communication with the Wizarding world. From a young age, Severus felt a deep love to Lily, who had similar feelings for him as well. In the Harry Potter movies and video games, Severus Snape is acted by Alan Rickman.ĬhildhoodBorn to Eileen Prince and Tobias Snape, Severus was raised in Spinner's End, a primarily Muggle dwelling that also provided the home of Lily Evans (Harry Potter's mother) and her sister, Petunia Evans (Harry's aunt). Despite his secret motivations, he still made the lives of various students difficult, particularly Harry Potter, most likely due to his hatred of James Potter, Harry Potter's father. He helped in the war against Lord Voldemort, covertly relaying information to Albus Dumbledore and The Order of the Phoenix. Severus Snape (JanuMay 2, 1998) was the Potions Master, Defense Against The Dark Arts, and Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
