This document discusses the character of Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series. It analyzes Snape as a layered and unpredictable character whose true loyalty was unrevealed until his death, when he emerged as an extremely brave and skilled spy who made the ultimate sacrifice. Though initially portrayed as notoriously anti-Harry, Snape's final words to Harry suggest an ability to love due to Harry's resemblance to his mother. The document was submitted by a student named Joshi Jignasha for a class.
