Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
He is an exceptionally skilled wizard whose extremely cold and resentful exterior
conceals deep emotions and anguish. A Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,
Snape is hostile to Harry due to his resemblance to his father James Potter,
who bullied Snape during their time together at Hogwarts.
As the series progresses, Snape's character becomes more layered and enigmatic.
A central mystery is unravelled concerning his loyalties. Snape dies at the hands of
Lord Voldemort in the seventh book, at which time his back story is revealed. Despite his
attraction to the Dark Arts and Voldemort's ideology of wizard supremacy, Snape's love for
Muggle-born Lily Evans, Harry's mother, eventually compelled him to defect from the Death Eaters.
He then became a double agent for Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. The fact that
Lily chose James Potter, Harry's father, only fuels Snape's hostility towards Harry.
