Despite the fact that Snape saved Harry’s life during his first year (the enchanted broom incident during Quidditch) and fifth year (by alerting the Order that Harry and his friends had gone to the Ministry to save Sirius from Voldemort – or so they thought they were doing so), Harry has displaced his hatred on to Snape (probably because he knows that Snape taunted Sirius about not being able to do anything useful for the Order). Often coming across as heartless and cruel, Harry has grown to despise Snape even more by the end of his fifth year.
He is extremely strict in the classroom and won’t hesitate for a moment to remove points from Gryffindor, especially if Harry is involved. Dumdledore is probably the only person Snape really respects and feels any sort of gratitude toward.
Also, Snape was a Death Eater at one time, but for some unknown reason, he turned himself in to Dumbledore, and as penance for his sins, he has been working as a spy for Dumbledore. James Potter saved Snape’s life, but for some reason (probably because he hates to owe anybody), Snape really hates James Potter as well, and for this reason, he holds his grudge against James’ son Harry. Snape and Sirius Black especially hated each other, and Sirius played a trick on Snape that involved Snape almost getting killed by Lupin in his werewolf form. Snape went to Hogwarts at the same time as the Marauders (about twenty years ago), but they were adversaries. Throughout the books, we slowly find out more about him. Snape is probably the most interesting professor at Hogwarts, mostly because of his dark and mysterious past. In book five, we find out that he has been teaching at Hogwarts for fourteen years and that it is true he has tried to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position every year only to be rejected by Dumbledore. Snape is Head of Slytherin House and teaches Potions at Hogwarts. From Harry’s very first Potions class, Severus Snape has given Harry a hard time, and that is perhaps putting it mildly.
