-'''Severus Snape''' is a Hogwarts teacher in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' novels. He teaches potions but wants to become Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Snape is also head of [[Slytherin]] House, one of the four [[Hogwarts]] houses in the series. Snape is a ruthless bully as teacher and hates Harry Potter. He shows favoritism, consistently undermining efforts of students from other houses in his classes while consistently supporting efforts of students from his own house. His favorite student is Harry's nemesis [[Draco Malfoy]].
-In the first novel Snape is suspected by Harry of wanting to steal a stone that creates immmortality for its user, but it ends up that actually Snape was trying to protect the stone and the traitor was [[Quirrell]], who was possessed by the evil Lord [[Voldemort]]. Quirrell fights Harry but Voldemort flees and Quirrell dies. Harry wins and wakes up the next day in the hospital wing with [[Dumbledore]].
-Later in the series Snape acts as a spy for Dumbledore against Lord Voldemort. At the end of the series he is murdered by Voldemort.
-JK Rowling has said that Snape is based on a cruel teacher she had and is intended to illustrate the fact that many teachers abuse their power, which Snape does. He is played in the movies by [[Alan Rickman]].
