Severus Snape

Name: Severus Snape

Age: 37

Birthday:
January 9th 1959

Birthplace: Just outside London

Former
School/House: Hogwarts/Slytherin

Education: He was known for his
knowledge on the Dark Arts and his intelligence. Although school may have seemed
a rather unhappy and unpleasant scenario in most cases for Severus, it offered
him freedom and a relatively safe home.
He was the constant target of James
Potter and Sirius Black who terrorised his years at school by hexing him at
every given opportunity. Of course, every once in a while, Severus would fire
back with a newly invented jinx which would tend to get him into a lot of
trouble; it was always worth it though.
They may have been unhappy years but
Severus pulled through, being top of his year and achieving remarkably high
grades.

Wand: 9" Black Mahogany with a raven feather core.


Bloodline: Half Blood.

Appearance: Severus Snape is quite a tall
character, he is often described as being 'bat-like' referring to his usual
black robes. His hair is shoulder length and generally quite greasy due to
potion making and like his robes, is black.
Severus has very pale skin,
which contrasts with his black hair and clothes and his appearance could be said
to be rather intimidating.
His nose is 'hook-like' and is one of his more
prominent features as well as his penetrating black eyes.

Background:
After leaving Hogwarts Severus turned to the Dark Lord and joined up as a Death
Eater.
He later overheard Sybill Trewlany's prophecy and reported the
information he had heard back to the Dark Lord. It is probable that Severus did
not realise that this information would lead to the death of James and Lily
Potter as afterwards he came to Dumbledore, insisting he was truly sorry.
Dumbledore gave him another chance, the Dark Lord had fallen and Severus took up
the occupation of Potions Master at Hogwarts.
After the Dark Lord rose
again, Severus was in the position to act as a double agent as his true
alligiance could be well hidden.
There is a lot of speculation concerning
Snape's true alliance; Dumbledore is convinced Snape is good whilst the Dark
Lord is convinced that Snape is on his side.


Personality: Having a
life obeying certain people and working undercover must be hard on a man. He is
rather bitter and resentful, which is quite understandable.
Severus is
certainly not a nice man, he is sarcastic and has a nasty side to him. His
behaviour is what you would expect from a person who has suffered a lot through
life.
