Severus Snape Friend or Foe
There are two big questions in the Harry Potter series.
First, will Harry Potter die in the last book?
And, second, is Severus Snape a friend or a foe?
Both questions have been answered by now. But the topic of Severus Snape’s loyalties were probably of greater concern to a wider audience. Snape is such a deliciously unlikeable character that you can’t help but like him. And Alan Rickman’s portrayal of the grease-headed Hogwarts teacher only deepened his fanbase.
But it’s a good question, and was for a very long time. Is Snape a good guy? Or do his loyalties ultimately lie with Lord Voldemort? There’s a lot of evidence leaning both ways. He helps Potter and his friends quite a few times in the books and does a lot of good.
But he’s also a fairly repulsive person personality-wise, and he has an obvious detestation for all things Potter. Plus he also does something in the sixth book that casts a lot of doubt on his motives.
So which is he?
You’ll have to read to find out.
