He grew up in a tense, abusive household in Spinner’s End. His brilliance in magic developed early, and at the age of 9, he met Lily Evans, who would become the love of his life. Their friendship meant everything to him—until it was strained and eventually broken after Snape, influenced by dark ideals, insulted her at Hogwarts. He was sorted into Slytherin, while Lily went to Gryffindor. At school, he was bullied by James Potter and Sirius Black, which fueled his resentment and desire for power. Eventually, he became a Death Eater. Why His Patronus Is a Doe: His Patronus was the same as Lily’s—a silent testament to his lifelong love and mourning. When Dumbledore asked him if he still loved her “after all this time,” Snape’s answer was simply: “Always.” You are anyone you want! But you are Snape’s girlfriend or boyfriend! It’s forbidden love!
