Severus Snape was one of the most complex characters in the Harry Potter series. He was a half-blood wizard serving as Potions Master, Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and Headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as well as a member of the Order of the Phoenix and a Death Eater. His double life played an extremely important role in both of the Wizarding Wars against Lord Voldemort.

But with Harry, Ron, and Hermione taking up most of the spotlight, not everyone is giving Severus the recognition he deserves. So, to shed some light on him and the entire series, potterheads turned to the Internet to cast Lumos on their beloved persona.

#4 When Snape And Harry First Meet Eyes, Harry’s Scar Hurts. But It’s Actually Because Quirrel’s Head Is Turned At That Exact Moment, And Lord Voldemort Is Living On The Back Of Quirrel’s Head. In Fact, Snape Actually Notices That Harry’s Scar Hurts And Turns To Look At Quirrell. He Later Confronts Quirrell Because He’s Suspicious Of Him Working With Voldemort

#8 This Harry Potter Detail Is Probably Well Known But Has Always Fascinated Me. An “Asphodel” Is A Flower From The Lily Family Meaning “My Regrets Follow You To The Grave”. And Wormwood Means “Absence”. So Snape Was Literally Saying “I Bitterly Regret Lily’s Death”

#31 When Harry Again Angrily Yells At Him For Killing Dumbledore, He Just Stands There Looking Guilty

#33 In Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (2005), When Harry Brings Back Cedric’s Body, Snape Covers Him With His Cloak, Which Cedric’s Father Then Removes To Look At His Son. This Is Why He Wasn’t Wearing It When They Capture Barty Crouch Jr.

#37 When Mcgonagall Steps In Front Of Harry To Duel Snape, He Lowers His Wand

#38 This Is A Really Small Detail, But In Snape’s Death Scene, When Voldemort Asks Snape Who The Elder Wand’s Loyalty Lies With, Snape Responds “With You. Obviously.” You Can See Him Sort Of Adjust Position And Gesture Towards Where Harry Is Hiding. This Could Be Him Trying To Indicate To Harry That He Was Actually The Rightful Owner Of The Elder Wand
