He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word -- like Professor McGonagall, Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort.

"Sit down," he snapped at Hermione."

"Idiot boy!" snarled Snape, clearing the spilled potion away with one wave of his wand. "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before taking the cauldron off the fire?"
Neville whimpered as boils started to pop up all over his nose.
"Take him up to the hospital wing," Snape spat at Seamus. Then he rounded on Harry and Ron, who had been working next to Neville.

Harry felt the blood drain out of his face. Wherever he was, Filch must know a shortcut, because his soft, greasy voice was getting nearer, and to his horror, it was Snape who replied, "The Restricted Section?

"Good afternoon," he said smoothly.
They stared at him.
"You shouldn't be inside on a day like this," he said, with an odd, twisted smile.

"Or maybe," said a very cold voice right behind them, "He"s waiting to hear why you two didn"t arrive on the school train."

"So," he said softly, "the train isn't good enough for the famous Harry Potter and his faithful sidekick Weasley.

“Silence!” said Snape coldly. “What have you done with the car?”
Ron gulped. This wasn’t the first time Snape had given Harry the impression of being able to read minds. But a moment later, he understood, as Snape unrolled today’s issue of the Evening Prophet.
“You were seen,” he hissed, showing them the headline: FLYING FORD ANGLIA MYSTIFIES MUGGLES.

"Potter and his friends may have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said, a slight sneer curling his mouth as though he doubted it.

"But why not join the feast afterward?" said Snape, his black eyes glittering in the candlelight. "Why go up to that corridor?"

"Without any supper?" said Snape, a triumphant smile flickering across his gaunt face. "I didn’t think ghosts provided food fit for living people at their parties."
"We weren’t hungry," said Ron loudly as his stomach gave a huge rumble.
Snape’s nasty smile widened.

The Dueling Club
He was waiting for Hermione’s signal, and he hardly listened as Snape paused to sneer at his watery
potion.

"Silence!" SILENCE!" Snape roared. "Anyone who has been splashed, come here for a Deflating Draft __ when I find out who did this __"
pg 187
"If I ever find out who threw this," Snape whispered, "I shall make sure that person is expelled."
pg 188
Snape’s upper lip was curling. Harry wondered why Lockhart
pg 189
was still smiling; if Snape had been looking at him like that he’d have been running as fast as he could in the opposite direction.
Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed; at least, Lockhart didn’t, with much twirling of his hands, whereas Snape jerked his head irritably. Then they raised their wands like swords in front of them.
"As you see, we are holding our wands in the accepted combative position," Lockhart told the silent crowd. "On the count of three, we will cast our first spells. Neither of us will be aiming to kill, of course."
"I wouldn’t bet on that," Harry murmured, watching Snape baring his teeth.
"One __ two __ three __"
Both of them swung their wands above their heads and pointed them at their opponent; Snape cried: "EXPELLIARMUS!" there was a dazzling flash of scarlet light and Lockhart was blasted off his feet: He flew backward off the stage, smashed into the wall, and slid down it to sprawl on the floor.

Snape was looking murderous.

"Time to split up the dream team, I think," he sneered, "Weasley, you can partner Finnigan. Potter __"
Harry moved automatically toward Hermione.

"How about Malfoy and Potter?" said Snape with a twisted smile.

Don’t move, Potter," said Snape lazily, clearly enjoying the sight of Harry standing motionless, eye to eye with the angry snake. "I’ll get rid of it…"

Now, now, Malfoy," said Snape, though he couldn’t suppress a thin-lipped smile. "Professor Dumbledore has only been suspended by the governors. I daresay he’ll be back with us soon enough."
"Yeah, right," said Malfoy, smirking. "I expect you’d have Father’s vote, sir, if you wanted to apply for the job __ "I’ll tell Father you’re the best teacher here, sir __"
Snape smirked as he swept off around the dungeon, fortunately not spotting Seamus Finnigan, who was pretending to vomit into his cauldron.

Snape's Grudge
"What would your head have been doing in Hogsmeade, Potter?" said Snape softly. "Your head is not allowed in Hogsmeade. No part of your body has permission to be in Hogsmeade."

"I know that," said Harry, striving to keep his face free of guilt or fear. "It sounds like Malfoy’s having halluncin __"
"Malfoy is not have hallucinations," snarled Snape, and he bent down, a hand on each arm of Harry’s chair, so that their faces were a foot apart. "If your head was in Hogsmeade, so was the rest of you."
"I’ve been up in Gryffindor tower, " said Harry. "Like you told __"
pg 283
"Can anyone confirm that?"
Harry didn’t say anything. Snape’s thin mouth curled into a horrible smile.
pg 284
"And did the headmaster tell you the circumstances in which your father saved my life?" he whispered. "Or did he consider the details too unpleasant for precious Potter’s delicate ears?"

"Turn out your pockets, Potter!" he spat suddenly.
Harry didn’t move. There was a pounding in his ears.

"Let me see, let me see..," he muttered, taking out his wand and smoothing the map out on his desk. "Reveal your secret!" he said, touching the wand to the parchment.

"So…," said Snape softly. "We’ll see about this…"

Snape pointed at the parchment, on which the words of Messrs.

"Up to the castle?" said Snape silkily. "I don’t think we need to go that far. All I have to do is call the dementors once we get out of the Willow. They’ll be very pleased to see you, Black…pleased enough to give you a little kiss, I daresay…"

"Miss Granger, HOLD YOUR TONGUE!"

"You surely don’t believe a word of Black’s story?" Snape whispered, his eyes fixed on Dumbledore’s face.
"I wish to speak to Harry and Hermione alone," Dumbledore repeated.

The door of the hospital wing burst open.
Fudge, Snape, and Dumbledore came striding into the ward. Dumbledore alone looked calm. Indeed, he looked as though he was quite enjoying himself. Fudge appeared angry. But Snape was beside himself.

"'... Harry Potter's well-wishers must hope that, next time, he bestows his heart upon a worthier candidate. 'How very touching," sneered Snape, rolling up the magazine to continued gales of laughter from the Slytherins.

"All this press attention seems to have inflated your already over-large head. Potter," said Snape quietly, once the rest of the class had settled down again.
pg 515
"You might be laboring under the delusion that the entire wizarding world is impressed with you," Snape went on, so quietly that no one else could hear him (Harry continued to pound his scarab beetles, even though he had already reduced them to a very fine powder), "but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the papers. To me, Potter, you are nothing but a nasty little boy who considers rules to be beneath him."

"So I give you fair warning, Potter," Snape continued in a softer and more dangerous voice, "pint-sized celebrity or not --- if I catch you breaking into my office one more time --

"Don't lie to me," Snape hissed, his fathomless black eyes boring into Harry's. "Boomslang skin. Gillyweed. Both come from my private stores, and I know who stole them."

"You were out of bed on the night my office was broken into!" Snape hissed. "I know it. Potter! Now, Mad-Eye Moody might have joined your fan club, but I will not tolerate your behavior!

"I want to talk now, while you can't slip off, Severus. You've been avoiding me."
"After the lesson," Snape snapped.
pg 518
"What's so urgent?" he heard Snape hiss at Karkaroff.
"This," said Karkaroff, and Harry, peering around the edge of his cauldron, saw Karkaroff pull up the left-hand sleeve of his robe and show Snape something on his inner forearm.
"Well?" said Karkaroff, still making every effort not to move his lips. "Do you see? It's never been this clear, never since --- "
"Put it away!" snarled Snape, his black eyes sweeping the classroom.
"But you must have noticed --- " Karkaroff began in an agitated voice.
"We can talk later, Karkaroff!" spat Snape. "Potter! What are you doing?"

"When we told Mr. Fudge that we had caught the Death Eater responsible for tonight's events," said Snape, in a low voice; he seemed to feel his personal safety was in question.

"Yes, I have," said Sirius proudly.
"Well, then, you’ll know he’s so arrogant that criticism simply bounces off him," Snape said sleekly.

"Oh, but why don’t you tell him so?" whispered Snape. "Or are you afraid he might not take the advice of a man who has been hiding inside his mother’s house for six months very seriously?"
"Tell me, how is Lucius Malfoy these days? I expect he’s delighted his lapdog’s working at Hogwarts, isn’t he?"
"Speaking of dogs," said Snape softly, "did you know that Lucius Malfoy recognized you last time you risked a little jaunt outside? Clever idea, Black, getting yourself seen on a safe station platform…gave you a cast-iron excuse not to leave your hidey-hole in future, didn’t it?"

"'Present company'?" repeated Snape sardonically. "And what am I to understand by that, Bellatrix?"
pg 25
"Yes, indeed, most admirable," said Snape in a bored voice. "Of course, you weren't a lot of use to him in prison, but the gesture was undoubtedly fine --"
"Gesture!" she shrieked; in her fury she looked slightly mad. "While I endured the dementors, you remained at Hogwarts, comfortably playing Dumbledore's pet!"
"Not quite," said Snape calmly. "He wouldn't give me the Defense Against the Dark Arts job, you know. Seemed to think it might, ah, bring about a relapse...tempt me into my old ways."
snip
"Yes, Bellatrix, I stayed," said Snape, betraying a hint of impatience for the first time. "I had a comfortable job that I preferred to a stint in Azkaban. They were rounding up the Death Eaters, you know. Dumbledore's protection kept me out of jail; it was most convenient and I used it. I repeat: The Dark Lord does not complain that I stayed, so I do not see why you do.

"It so happens that I know of the plan," he said in a low voice. "I am one of the few the Dark Lord has told. Nevertheless, had I not been in on the secret, Narcissa, you would have been guilty of great treachery to the Dark Lord."
pg 32
"The Dark Lord will not be persuaded, and I am not stupid enough to attempt it," said Snape flatly. "I cannot pretend that the Dark Lord is not angry with Lucius. Lucius was supposed to be in charge. He got himself captured, along with how many others, and failed to retrieve the prophecy into the bargain. Yes, the Dark Lord is angry, Narcissa, very angry indeed."
snip
"The Dark Lord is very angry," repeated Snape quietly. "He failed to hear the prophecy. You know as well as I do, Narcissa, that he does not forgive easily."
pg 34
"Certainly, Narcissa, I shall make the Unbreakable Vow," he said quietly. "Perhaps your sister will consent to be our Bonder."
Bellatrix's mouth fell open. Snape lowered himself so that he was kneeling opposite Narcissa. Beneath Bellatrix's astonished gaze, they grasped right hands.

They left, Snape leading the way, Malfoy looking resentful.

snip
"A five-year-old could have told us as much," sneered Snape. "The Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spells. It is not alive, it is merely used like a puppet to do the wizard's bidding. A ghost, as I trust that you are all aware by now, is the imprint of a departed soul left upon the earth...and of course, as Potter so wisely tells us, transparent."

"Fight back!" Harry screamed at him. "Fight back, you cowardly --"

"Coward, did you call me, Potter?" shouted Snape. "Your father would never attack me unless it was four on one, what would you call him, I wonder?"
"Stupe --"
"Blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, Potter!" sneered Snape, deflecting the curse once more. "Now come!" he shouted at the huge Death Eater behind Harry. "It is time to be gone, before the Ministry turns up --"
snip
"No!" roared Snape's voice and the pain stopped as suddenly as it had started; Harry lay curled on the dark grass, clutching his wand and panting; somewhere overhead Snape was shouting, "Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord -- we are to leave him! Go! Go!"
pg 603
"DON'T --" screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them -- 'CALL ME COWARD!"

"The Dark Lord is very angry," repeated Snape quietly. "He failed to hear the prophecy. You know as well as I do, Narcissa, that he does not forgive easily."
pg 34
"Certainly, Narcissa, I shall make the Unbreakable Vow," he said quietly. "Perhaps your sister will consent to be our Bonder."
Bellatrix's mouth fell open. Snape lowered himself so that he was kneeling opposite Narcissa. Beneath Bellatrix's astonished gaze, they grasped right hands.
"You will need your wand, Bellatrix," said Snape coldly.

Chapter 8
Snape Victorious
"Well, well, well," sneered Snape, taking out his wand and taping the padlock once, so that the chains snaked backward and the gates creaked open. "Nice of you to turn up, Potter although you have evidently decided that the wearing of school robes would detract from your appearance."
pg 160
Chapter 9
The Half-Blood Prince
"Your defenses," said Snape, a little louder, "must therefore be as flexible and inventive as the arts you seek to undo.

"An answer copied almost word for word from The Standard Book

of Spells, Grade Six," said Snape dismissively (over in the corner, Malfoy sniggered), "but correct in essentials.

Chapter 15
The Unbreakable Vow
"Really?" said Snape quietly, his eyes still boring into Harry, who felt a certain disquiet. The last thing he wanted was for Snape to start investigating the source of his newfound brilliance at Potions.
pg 319

"I'd like a word with you, Draco," sand Snape suddenly.
"Oh, now, Severus," said Slughorn, hiccuping again, "it's Christmas, don't be too hard --"
"I'm his Head of House, and I shall decide how hard, or otherwise, to be, " said Snape curtly. "Follow me, Draco."
They left, Snape leading the way, Malfoy looking resentful.
pg 321
There was a pause and then Snape said quietly, "Ah...Aunt Bellatrix has been teaching you Occlumency, I see. What thoughts are you trying to conceal from your master, Draco?"
pg 322
"Listen to me," said Snape, his voice so low now that Harry had to push his ear very hard against the keyhole to hear. "I am trying to help you. I swore to your mother I would protect you. I made the Unbreakable Vow, Draco --
pg 323
"Keep your voice down!" spat Snape, for Malfoy's voice had risen excitedly.
snip
There was another pause, then Snape said coldly, "You are speaking like a child. I quite understand that your father's capture and imprisonment has upset you, but --"

Chapter 21
The Unknown Room
"Late again, Potter," said Snape coldly, as Harry hurried into the candlelit classroom. "Ten points from Gryffindor."
snip
"No, there wasn't," said Snape in a bored voice.
pg 459
"Oh, very good," interrupted Snape, his lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. 'Ghosts are transparent.'"
snip
"A five-year-old could have told us as much," sneered Snape. "The Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spells. It is not alive, it is merely used like a puppet to do the wizard's bidding. A ghost, as I trust that you are all aware by now, is the imprint of a departed soul left upon the earth...and of course, as Potter so wisely tells us, transparent."
pg 460
Chapter 24
Sectumsempra
But Snape ignored this. "Apparently I underestimated you, Potter," he said quietly. "Who would have thought you knew such Dark Magic? Who taught you that spell?"
snip
"Bring me your schoolbag," said Snape softly, "and all of your schoolbooks. All of them. Bring them to me here. Now!"
pg 524
Do you know what I think, Potter?" said Snape, very quietly. "I think that you are a liar and a cheat and that you deserve detention with me every Saturday until the end of term. What do you think Potter?"
snip
"Ten o'clock," whispered Snape, with a smile that showed his yellow teeth. "Poor Gryffindor...fourth place this year, I fear..."
pg 528
"Mr. Filch has been looking for someone to clear out these old files," said Snape softly.
pg 531
"I thought you could start," said Snape, a malicious smile on his lips, "with boxes one thousand and twelve to one thousand and fifty-six. You will find some familiar names in there, which should add interest to the task. Here, you see.."
snip
"I think that will do," he said coldly. "Mark the place you have reached. You will continue at ten o'clock next Saturday."
pg 533
Chapter 28
Flight of the Prince
"No Unforgivable Curses from you, Potter!" he shouted over the rushing of the flames, Hagrid's yells and the wild yelping of the trapped Fang. "You haven't got the nerve or the ability --"
"Incarc --" Harry roared, but Snape deflected the spell with an almost lazy flick of his arm.
"Fight back!" Harry screamed at him. "Fight back, you cowardly --"
pg 602
"Coward, did you call me, Potter?" shouted Snape. "Your father would never attack me unless it was four on one, what would you call him, I wonder?"
"Stupe --"
"Blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep your mouth shut and your mind closed, Potter!" sneered Snape, deflecting the curse once more. "Now come!" he shouted at the huge Death Eater behind Harry. "It is time to be gone, before the Ministry turns up --"
snip
"No!" roared Snape's voice and the pain stopped as suddenly as it had started; Harry lay curled on the dark grass, clutching his wand and panting; somewhere overhead Snape was shouting, "Have you forgotten our orders? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord -- we are to leave him! Go! Go!"
pg 603
"DON'T --" screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them -- 'CALL ME COWARD!"

“No,” said Snape, though his slight sneer said otherwise. "If you’d rather be brawny than brainy ---"

Snape’s whole face contorted and he spluttered, "Saved? Saved? You think he was playing the hero? He was saving his neck and his friends’ too! You’re not going to --- I won’t let you ---"

"Hide them all, then," he croaked. "Keep her --- them --- safe. Please."

"In --- in return?" Snape gaped at Dumbledore, and Harry expected him to protest, but after a long moment he said, "Anything."

“DON’T!” bellowed Snape. “Gone…dead…”

“It is a miracle you managed to return here!” Snape sounded furious. “That ring carried a curse of extraordinary power, to contain it is all we can hope for; I have trapped the curse in one hand for the time being ---“

“If you had only summoned me a little earlier, I might have been able to do more, buy you more time!” said Snape furiously. He looked down at the broken ring and the sword. “Did you think that breaking the ring would break the curse?”
pg 681
“Would you like me to do it now?” asked Snape, his voice heavy with irony. “Or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?”
snip
“If you don’t mind dying,” said Snape roughly, “why not let Draco do it?”

“What are you doing with Potter, all these evenings you are closeted together?” Snape asked abruptly.
pg 684
“You refuse to tell me everything, yet you expect that small service of me!” snarled Snape, and real anger flared in the thin face now. “You take a great deal for granted, Dumbledore! Perhaps I have changed my mind!”

“So the boy…the boy must die?” asked Snape quite calmly.

“For him?” shouted Snape. “Expecto Patronum!”

“You will suggest to the Order of the Phoenix,” Snape murmured, “that they use decoys.

"I know," said Snape curtly. He approached the portrait of Dumbledore and pulled at its side. It swung forward, revealing a hidden cavity behind it from which he took the sword of Gryffindor.
