He has a deep rooted phobia of shampoo. People do have different priorities, even if he ever washed it he probably didn't use enough shampoo or other products to get all the grease away.
He was described as looking not well-cared for. I think it's safe to say that Snape was not well taken care of as a child, and didn't take very good care of himself as a teen or adult. He was never described as smelling bad, so I assume he took good enough care of himself so that he didn't stink.
Snape is described as a thin man with sallow skin, a large, hooked nose, and yellow, uneven teeth. He has shoulder-length, greasy black hair which frames his face, and cold, black eyes.
Snape's hatred towards Harry in the Harry Potter series was fueled by his unrequited love for Lily, which he couldn't move on from due to guilt. This adds complexity to Snape's character and explains his treatment of Harry.
While through most of the series Snape seems to be horrible to Harry and possibly trying to get him into Voldemort's hands, it's revealed at the end of the series that Snape was actually helping watch out for Harry.
Snape's actions, such as shielding Harry and his friends from harm and hesitating when killing Dumbledore, further demonstrate that he was not a villain but had a deeper plan to earn Voldemort's trust.
J.K. Rowling apparently confirmed that Lily Potter was pregnant again when Voldemort murdered her | Fandom. Thus, in murdering the Potters, save for Harry, Voldemort also killed a younger brother or sister that Harry would ultimately never know before it was even born.
She missed Snape, but she knew she could never forgive him. Snape never stopped trying to make amends. But Lily remained steadfast. She could not, would not, forgive him.
Originally Answered: In the Harry Potter series, why didn't Lily marry Snape? The simple answer: She didn't love him. The more complicated answer: He proved again and again that he wasn't willing to listen to Lily, respect her or her views, or love her in a healthy way.
He has a deep rooted phobia of shampoo. People do have different priorities, even if he ever washed it he probably didn't use enough shampoo or other products to get all the grease away. I think it's a combination of not taking the time to wash his hair and spending too much time in a potion lab.
Why did Harry's scar hurt when Snape looked at him?
J. K. Rowling stated that the pain from Harry's scar on his forehead was caused by the piece of Voldemort's soul trying to leave his body through the wound it entered to rejoin its master's soul.
That fan theory about Snape being a vampire? Not true... On a few occasions while reading the books, you'll come across descriptions comparing Snape to a bat, be it Professor Quirrell calling him an 'overgrown bat' in Philosopher's Stone, or his figure being called 'bat-like' when it's revealed he can fly unaided.
Even before he started working against Voldemort, he'd spent years putting his emotions in boxes. His childhood wasn't happy, with all the information he gave Lily about Hogwarts suggesting he was desperate to leave his home life behind.
This is not a post that attempts to label Severus Snape as a good or bad guy. This is a post that attempts to analyze the psyche and circumstances that led to his behavior. I found a number of psychology articles online that present him as a text book case for Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD).
In the heat of the moment, Snape lost control and called Lily the forbidden word. He called her a mud-blood by accident because he was frustrated that lily did not like his closest friends. He did not mean it.
One with a severe dislike of Lily's former best friend. Let's get into your points one by one, though I would like to say first that I'm not sure if that quote from Lily about James making her sick really matches up with her being the 'submissive one'. - Yes, Lily knows James is a bully. That is why she loathed him.
James was slightly better because he truly did change and he allied with the Order out of basic morality compared to Snape who stayed an all around bitter person. and only allied with the Order out of love for Lily.
While Snape never had any true friends and Lily was the only one even remotely nice to him. That could be why his idea of "friendship" was so screwed. It's also why i think Gryffindor - Slytherin friendships are impossible. Too many things pull them apart.
In the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," which has become part of "Harry Potter" canon, it was revealed that Bellatrix conceived a child with none other than Lord Voldemort.
Lily J. Potter, Harry Potter's mother, was born on 30th January 1960. This made her 21 years old when she was killed by Voldemort on 31st October 1981.
In the Cursed Child, Bellatrix and Voldemort produce a daughter named Delphi. She was supposed to be born a few weeks before the Battle of Hogwarts and was subsequently orphaned when both mother and father were killed.
By Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it's a stretch to call Draco a villain anymore. We just watched — or read — him struggle to reconcile his choices and morals in The Half-Blood Prince. He can no longer justify his actions, and is far more aware of the evil he was born and raised into.
The movies follow the books closely enough that they aren't really separate universes, except for the fourth movie. There isn't any truly compelling evidence that Snape is Harry's father, because all the points you raise are explained. Snape hated Harry because Harry reminded him of the man who "stole" Lily.
