I knew from the beginning he was on Dumbledore's side, even when he killed Dumbledore, I had already figured out that Dumbledore and Snape had planned for that. I don't think Snape is a nice person, but he is my favorite character. He's pretty much one of the most complex characters in the book and I love him, seriously! I cried so hard when he died and wanted to look into Harry's eyes. I knew the doe was him too, lol.

snape is one of my favourite characters. HE IS GOOD

@Tareltonlives What does viewing evil deeds as a way to gain them mean? He didn't want power, he wanted to be impressive

[Tareltonlives]

@chopchop8916 There's nothing heroic about wanting mere power and viewing evil deeds as a way to gain them. He's evil.

[chopchop8916]

@Tareltonlives He isn't evil. He only wanted to be a Death Eater, because he was weak, and saw them as powerful and he thought being something so strong and powerful would impress evil. He's sort of anti-hero.

He may hate Harry because he is proof of Lily's love for James, but Snape loved Lily so much, he wanted to protect her son of another man, even after they both died!

Evil. A blackguard to the core. Even his good deeds were selfish.

he is good

I´ve had never read the books, at least not all of them. By watching the movies it was pretty hard for me to see Severus Snape as a good character. At first I strongly believed he was an evil character, but after watching the first 3 movies I began to believe other things about Snape. He was such a complex character that it made me believe maybe he was good. Also in the books you can find some hints that make you also figure he is in Dumbledore´s side.

Of course he is going to be mean to Harry! Harry is living proof that He could never of had Lily and that she loved James! Not to mention he saw so much of his father in him. And Harry and Ron wern't exactly fair to him either...

@ashtonsporedragon3 Why do you think he is evil?

[parodybarbiegirl]

I was sure for quite some time that Snape had been in love with Lily. I'm still not sure if we should see him as good . He was determined to see the worst in Harry because he looked like James. But his eyes were Lily's. He was bitter because Harry could have been his.He chose the dark arts and Voldemort . Lily chose James Potter. Life could have been easier for him if he had realised that Harry had Lily's character and spirit. it would have been easier for him to fight, no?But Harry forgives him
