Severus Snape

Long awaiting for his job as Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, Severus Snape is a very confusing character. You may think he is good yet you may also think he is bad you won't know until you see the last Harry Potter movie. He is portrayed as a cold hearted, big jerk teacher that everyone hates but is that really what he is? When he attended Hogwarts he was in love with Lily Evans which is Harry's mothers but ridiculed by James Potter, Harry's dad. Dumbledore trusts him with his life yet he is also a Death Eater who are Voldemort's followers. What exactly is this man we call Snape. He eventually gets out of his Potions job and gets transfered to teach Defense Against The Dark Arts, the job he has been after for years and then at the end of the series Headmaster of Hogwarts. Yet he is killed in the battle of Hogwarts just before he dies he tells Harry that is only mission has been to protect him because he vowed it for Lily. His love for Lily extended to the protection of her orphan son Harry. So it turns out that Snape is the greatest double-agent ever! I hope this changes your opinion of Severus Snape and that you see he is really the best good guy in the book and not a Death Eater who is after to kill Harry because if he was he would have done it by now.
