History:
Professor Severus Snape was born January 9, 1960, he is a half-blood wizard who was the son of the witch Eileen Snape (née Prince) and Muggle Tobias Snape. During his lifetime, Severus Snape attended Hogwarts in Slytherin as a student from (1971-1978), was Potions Master (1981-1996), Defence Against the Dark Arts professor (1996-1997), and Headmaster (1997-1998) of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry He is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix and played a very important role in both of the Wizarding Wars against Lord Voldemort.
Severus Snape was raised in the Muggle dwelling of Spinner's End, which was in close proximity to the home of the Evans family, though in a poorer area. He met Lily and Petunia Evans when he was nine, and fell deeply in love with Lily, becoming a close friend of hers. In 1971 he began his first term at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he was Sorted into Slytherin House. This put him in the same year as his one love, Lily Evans, but unfortunately for him, in rival houses. Severus became the immediate enemy of James Potter and Sirius Black and was a frequent victim of their bullying. Snape developed a passion for the Dark Arts at a young age, which increased as his desire for revenge grew stronger.
Snape became involved with the bullies in Slytherin House, many who were pure-blood supremacists. This put his friendship with Lily, a Muggle-born, under great strain, until it was eventually broken in their fifth year. In an attempt to win back Lily's affections, Snape joined the Death Eaters along with a group of his fellow Slytherins.
Severus was made a member of the Slug Club, presumably because of his brilliance at potion-making, and Horace Slughorn kept a picture of him as a student, clutching his copy of Advanced Potion-Making. Despite this, Horace did not have many hopes for Severus's future, as his photograph was kept behind many others. Shortly before Lily Evans was murdered by Lord Voldemort, Snape changed sides and became a member of the Order of the Phoenix and double agent during the Second Wizarding War. With tremendous difficulty, Snape prevented Lord Voldemort from learning the truth about his loyalties.
Despite the opinions of most others including Harry during his early life, Albus Dumbledore trusted Snape for reasons that were kept between them both, the fact was Snapes. Had a deep strong love for Lily Evans caused him to redeem himself, joining Dumbledore's cause at the prospect of her protection (and, after her death, that of her son) from Lord Voldemort. The relationship between Dumbledore and Snape would be one of an unusually strong loyalty, yet none but the two know the reason behind it.
The Triwizard Tournament was interesting, even more when Harry got entered hen he was not supposed to be. Snape learns of Harry speaking to Dumbledore, learning that he saw a memory where Snape was named as a death eater and Dumbledore came to his defense, leaving Harry to question about Snape only to have Dumbledore try to assure Harry of Snapes reformation is genuine, even if he will not say how he knows or why he thinks such a thing.
With the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge being warned about the Voldemort return, as proof Snape showed his harm with the restored Dark Mark yet one cannot say if the Minister of Magic believes them or will take any steeps to protected the wizarding world. Dumbledore sent Snape out to find out more about Voldemort and once more rejoin the death eaters to become a re-double agent.
Personality: Snape is cold, calculating, precise, sarcastic, and bitter most the time. He strongly dislikes James Potter James, not that he really liked Harry much and with Harry's children now at school he finds it hard to like them much. very self-assured and confident of his abilities, to the degree he is "full of himself. His is also gravitas, authority and power. Snape typically displays a very calm and collected demeanour, rarely at a loss for words or taken off guard. His temper, however, is sometimes short where Harry is concerned and positively flares when accused of cowardice. His otherwise impassive and aloof attitude seems to stem from his belief that people who cannot control their emotions are weak.
Like some other prominent members of Slytherin house, Snape is shown to be a clever and cunning wizard. He is intelligent and has a keen, analytical mind. Snape is immensely brave, like a very flawed hero. He is not a particularly like able man in many ways. He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity—and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love and, ultimately, was willing to lay down his life because of it.
