Interests… breeding misery and instilling fear in his students. Harry is convinced that Snape goes out of his way to harass him, and it seems he has a point. It turns out that Snape went to Hogwarts with Harry’s folks, James and Lily, and disliked James intensely (though not without some legitimate reasons). He seems to take a special dislike to Harry Potter, who is the most famous student at Hogwarts because he survived an attack as an infant from the Dark Lord, Voldemort, which killed Harry’s parents (and may have killed Voldemort).

Though it’s a well-known fact that he’s long fancied the job of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Snape is currently teaching students how to properly combine spine of lionfish with horn of a bicorn. That’s especially true because Snape practiced the Dark Arts during the First Wizarding War. Yet most of Dumbledore’s allies don’t see why he even tolerates Snape, never mind trusts him.

About the only person who seems even mildly fond of Snape – aside from his young acolytes in Slytherin House – is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Most students are terrified of the sharp-tongued Snape, and some professors seem almost as afraid of him. While he’s a longtime fixture at the school, he is far from beloved. Living… at Hogwarts castle, where he has taught for a number of years. Though knowledge of his childhood is scarce, it is clear that Snape’s home life with his witch mother and Muggle father was less than ideal. Grew Up… in a grimy part of England called Spinner’s End, which is on a Muggle street.
