Professor Snape

Background

Snape is the professor of potions at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the head of Slytherin House.


During the events of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) played by Alan Rickman

During dinner, Harry Potter sees Snape staring at him. The next day, Snape introduces his class and points out that fame doesn't equal ability, after testing Harry's knowledge of potions, which Harry fails. Professor McGonagall, Snape and Professor Quirrell run into the bathroom and Hermione Granger takes the blame for not being in the common room and Gryffindor loses five points, but gains ten for Harry and Ron Weasley's bravery. Harry notices that Snape has a limp and thinks Snape was trying to get whatever Fluffy is guarding. During the Quidditch games, as Harry starts to go after the Snitch, his broom starts to act on its own. Hermione sees Snape mouthing spells and she starts a fire under Snape, who bumps into a professor who bumps into Professor Quirrell. Harry is able to regain control of his broom and catches the Snitch in his mouth and wins the game for Gryffindor. Harry uses the cloak to go into the restricted area of the library and is almost caught by Mr Filch. As he is trying to get away, Harry sees Snape confront Professor Quirrell about his loyalty. Mr Filch shows Snape and Professor Quirrell the lantern he found in the restricted section.
