When Severus Snape began his teaching career at Hogwarts in 1981, he initially applied for the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts, but was rejected multiple times. Dumbledore was aware that the job had been jinxed by Voldemort. No Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher would last longer than a year. Dumbledore instead employed Snape in the position of Potions Master and Head of Slytherin House. As he and Dumbledore anticipated that Voldemort would return, Snape had to consider every decision and relationship carefully. He treated Harry Potter with maximal coldness, as any variation from this would have cast suspicion on him. In reality, he protected Harry on numerous occasions. His every action during this period created no mistrust on the part of Voldemort. After the Rebirth of Lord Voldemort, Snape carried on with his work as a re-doubled agent for Dumbledore. During the summer, he was seen at Number 12, Grimmauld Place giving reports to the Order of the Phoenix. When Harry began having visions about Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore asked Snape teach Harry Occlumency.The mutual hostility made it difficult to work productively during the sessions. Harry witnessed a private memory of Snape being bullied and harassed by Harry’s father.Snape threw him out of the office and forbade him from coming back again. Dolores Umbridge – the school’s politically appointed headmaster – captures Harry and interrogates him about Dumbledore’s whereabouts. She sends for Snape, demanding that he provide Veritaserum.Snape claims that his supplies of the serum have been exhausted after Umbridge used the drug to force information about Dumbledore’s Army from Cho Chang. Snape warning the other Order members, allowing them to come to the rescue in the Department of Mysteries. Narcissa
swears Snape to an Unbreakable Vow that he will protect Draco.
Dumbledore announces Snape as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts
professor. He trusts Snape.
Draco disarmed Dumbledore on the school’s Astronomy Tower. He intending
to carry out Voldemort’s ordered assassination. Draco was unable to the
murder, however, and Snape killed the headmaster himself.
Harry later took the memories to the Pensieve in Dumbledore’s office.
Though he asked Voldemort to spare Lily, Snape still feared for her
safety, as he knew that Voldemort could not be relied on to grant this
small favour.
Dumbledore had been afflicted by a powerful curse cast on Marvolo
Gaunt’s ring. Snape’s knowledge enabled him to slow the spread of the
curse, the curse would have ultimately killed Dumbledore within a year. Although Snape was reluctant, Dumbledore implied that this kind of coup de grâce would not damage a human’s soul. Furthermore, once Snape had done the deed, he would gain Voldemort’s complete trust and learn more of his plans. Snape agreed to do as the Headmaster requested.

Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
Alan Rickman was a actor of many characters…
notable Rickman roles include Hans Gruber in “Die Hard” and Harry in “Love Actually.”
The role that Rickman played that will forever stick with millions, like myself, is that of Severus Snape, in the “Harry Potter” films. Alan’s portrayal of Snape was pure brilliance…people are not necessarily as we perceive it at first glance.
For many fans, Alan embodied the complex anti-hero in the film
adaptations wizarding books and, in the process,
contributed to the growing numbers of fans who saw Snape as a symbol of
sympathy – and sex.
“If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work.” In fact, one finds some of Snape in Alan’s other roles …
also in Alan himself.
For example, his gestures and his facial expressions…

… my favorite scenes with Alan Rickman as Severus Snape. Alan Rickman will forever live in the hearts of millions also as Professor Snape.
J.K. Rowling, author of “Harry Potter,” specifically wanted Rickman for the part of Severus Snape…the perfect choice!
There is no one else that could have portrayed a character of such depth
with as much emotion, fervor, and passion as Alan Rickman.
Thanks!!!
“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” (2001)…
…my favorite scenes with Snape…
Alan Rickman brought Snape with the most heartbreaking and complicated backstory to life.
I will remember the dark humor and slow speech you brought to every scene you performed.
Alan Rickman…thank you for being Severus Snape! No other actor will ever be connected to Snape so as you are!
We miss you!
Snape and his sarcasm
Alan Rickman himself said about Severus Snape: “That people in general adore Snape. He is sarcastic, stubborn, etc, etc.
But he is also fascinating. I have a lot of fun impersonating him.“
In fact, Snape has many layers.
He’s sarcastic and scathing and yet has a heart.
He’s strong and yet he’s vulnerable. Snape’s sarcasm and Alan Rickman’s way of playing make him well to a large extent of his fascination.
