Professor Snape is one of the most enigmatic characters in the Harry Potter series.  Here are links to the best essays, editorials and theories about the character we love to hate.

New Feature:  You can now vote for your favorite theories and even add links to your own.

This portrait of Snape was made by Makani.

Update:  Near the bottom, I've added a link to my new lens about Jo Rowling.  Be sure and vote whether she should win the Noble Prize for Literature. 

Please update this lens!!!! 

I know I need to update this lens. (It's just been a busy school year.)

We now know that Snape was following Dumbledore's orders throughout the series. (I still think he was a bad, bad man!) We also know his ultimate fate.

What should I now do with this lens? Please post your ideas here.

It'll be good if u just put up a biography on Snape like that of Wikipedia. At least Squidoo can be a new encyclopedia for those who want to know more about Snape.

Snape was bad in the beginning because of the bad care he had earlier. but later he changed himself because of his love for Lily. It proved what Dumbledore always said "Love is powerful than any other form of magic"

I think he's definatly a good guy because Dumbledore trusts him! I think he had a good reason to kill Dumbledore.
