Potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , head of the Slytherin house.BIOSeverus Snape (born January 9, c. 1959)
He was appointed Potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1981, after completing his education there c. 1977, and became Head of Slytherin house.
Snape's physical appearance is that of the classic villain: thin, "hook-nosed" and "long, greasy hair," and clad in forbidding black robes "like an overgrown bat" [HP1]. Harry Potter intensely dislikes and distrusts Snape for his chequered past and the animosity Snape displays toward him.
In the Harry Potter films, the character is played by actor Alan Rickman.
