Severus Snape is the head of Slytherin House and is Potions Master at Hogwarts. Most students hate him for he can be downright mean, but he is a good teacher none the less.
I believe he comes off as mean for he really wants the children to do well, and he can't abide it when they don't.
He loves to take points from the other Houses and lavish points on his own. If he doesn't, who will? Plus I believe he takes points off fairly. In the deleted scene in the movie he was justified, for it was insabordination.
Snape is played by Alan Rickman, and played by him very well!
Hated in the books, loved in the real world, this is the enigma known as Professor S. Snape. And we love him even more for it! It's that whole mysterious thing... |
