The relationship between Harry and Snape in 'Prisoner of Azkaban' unfolds like a tangled web, messy and complicated. At the start, Harry sees Snape as just another teacher, purely intimidating, with his dark robes and stern demeanor. The way Snape reacts to Harry during their first lesson feels almost personal, which only fuels Harry's dislike for him. Then there's the whole instance of the boggart lesson, where Snape’s fear is revealed—funny, yet it humanizes him a bit.
Suddenly I’m seeing him not just as the potions master but as someone with vulnerabilities. The confrontation during the Quidditch match when Snape tries to protect Harry, even if it’s from a hypothetical Dementor, catches me off guard. A part of me wonders whether Snape's behavior is shifting; he seems to show concern for Harry, even if it’s indirect. Their relationship is filled with suspicion and misunderstanding, with Harry constantly piecing together Snape’s troubled past, especially after hearing about him from Sirius. To be honest, there’s something tragic about Snape's role. He’s resentful yet protective, caught in a bitter legacy involving Harry’s father. The more I think about it, the more complex it becomes; he’s like this perpetual outsider, influenced by past mistakes, yet somehow still involved in Harry’s life.
The tension culminates when Harry deals with the real consequences of the past—a stark reminder that Snape's bitterness is tied to events that Harry is only just beginning to grasp. This relationship swings from animosity to a more nuanced allegiance, leaving me eager to see how it unfolds further. I can’t shake the feeling that their journey is destined to be interwoven in some deeper, perhaps darker way. A real character study in complexity right there.

Because of a previous agreement they had made, Dumbledore is killed by Professor Snape. Dumbledore, burdened with the curse of a dying man due to a cursed ring, asks Snape to kill him when the moment is ripe. The reason for this is twofold, and equally terri fying, on one hand: in order to amplify Voldemort's trust in Snape und now that Draco had lost their mission is complete. Moreover, despite what it cost him emotionally at Fisbaun Iluminic came through every single time ⁷ Snape followed through, though it hurt him greatly.

Hermione Granger's Patronus, quite fittingly, takes the form of an Otter. It's a nod to her cleverness and love for learning, as otters are known to be extraordinarily intelligent.

My feelings were immortalized in the word 'Always', and Now it is simply synonymous with Snape's enduring love for Lily. So After death, Snape was still raised in his patronus which was a silver deer--just like Lily's. It still expressed his undying love. This is a story that moves you to tears and leaves one with another image of what Snape might have been which we never saw at all in the beginning whole book.

But nope did not fit for this one! Snape is not Harry's real father. That has been well established through and through the books. However, Snape's complex character and his unexpected affection for Harry can lead some people to suspect this.

His mixed-blood status and his lineage gave Severus Snape the moniker 'Half-Blood Prince'. His mother, Eileen Prince, was a witch, born into a pure-blood family named Prince; being proud of its blood (hence her surname). His father Tobias Snape was a muggle, therefore Severus became a halfblood.

When I think of my patronus it would be a Phoenix, the symbol meaning I admire its–resilience because it comes back to life after death, rebirth for obvious reasons; and rising from ashes symbolic of human wishful thinking where the proverbial cake on table one side can outweigh untold problems behind it.
Despite all of its associations with destruction phoenixes also mean a new start: they are born again. It emanates from vicissitudes and grows stronger on pressure Because it was originally a creature of death, the phoenix is now seen as offering new hope. Thus the metaphor is richer.
Just as in times of fear and darkness a Phoenix rises to light up the night, so too–like Fawkes in “Harry Potter“ -stands always faithfully by her master just when she needs him most. My Patronus will be the Phoenix, because in every situation it manages to radiate boundless optimism and show me how can be achieved.
