Severus Snape

Quiz 4: What is a Hero? In my definition, a hero is someone who does courageous deeds simply because he/she possesses the ability to do so. These brave deeds range from a plain gesture, such as defending someone else against a bully to extraordinary actions, such as fighting off a dangerous assailant unarmed. A hero does something in order to help others who are weaker compared to him/her in that particular area without searching for honor or glory. In the movie series Person of Interest, two…

The scene that I have composed a song to appears in ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’. The scene takes place after (SPOILER ALERT!) Severus Snape is killed and Harry collects some of his memories into a vial. Harry then pours Snape’s memories into a pensieve to re-watch them. Snape’s memories take us back to his childhood and when he first meets Harry’s mother, Lily. The full scene is absolutely heart-wrenching as you watch Snape’s feelings grow for a girl that does not reciprocate…

prejudice through different people for unique reasons. Snape is prejudice towards Harry Potter; Malfoy along with other Slytherins is prejudice towards mudbloods and the poor. Evidence: a) The primary source of prejudice is from Professor Severus Snape. Snape disliked Harry’s father, as they were rivals in their time at school. His dislike for James Potter is translated down to James son. Harry could be a completely different person from his father and Snape could have come to have a different…

The Gryffindor House loathed the House of Slytherin because it had a history of producing dark wizards; completely ignoring the fact that all the houses have had their fair share of dark witches and wizards. The Head of Slytherin, Severus Snape, encouraged bullying between the houses by publically favoring Slytherin and taking an outrageous amount of points from Gryffindor. Headmaster Dumbledore is not innocent in taking part of the inequality of houses as every year he awards Gryffindor…

Although all the odds are again them, a hero is someone who prevails through the adversity and reaches the peak of the mountain through their inner courage. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone harry and his friends show heroism through their journeys and obstacles. When the average person thinks of a hero they usually think of a superhero that goes out and fight crimes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman, but not all hero’s wear capes. There are multiple types of hero’s in hero myths such as…

Lily Potter so we can omit the assumption that his mother was a virgin with supernatural conception. In the last Harry Potter series, he was successful on defeating Lord Voldermort at the expense of his two father-figures, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. A father or a father figure has big influence on his son. Lord Voldermort in a way can be described as his negative father figure because he influenced him as such that molded him to what he is now. He made him stronger than ever by forcing…

really close. Before the first Quidditch match, Harry receives a broomstick from Professor McGonagall. The three friends finds Snape suspicious and they think he is the one who wants the package from Gringotts. During the game, Harry's broomstick acts weird and it seems to be hexed. Eventually Harry catches the snitch and team Gryffinndor wins but his friends blame Snape for putting him in danger. During the winter break, Harry stays at Hogwarts but all his friends expect Ron go home to be with…

Being part of the same cycle of books, the two works are quite alike. Stylistically they present the same elements. However, I could test a few differences. Rowling’s writing has fully matured in her last book. [1] I believe that the style and the themes have developed with the story and the characters. The plot has become darker, the characters more complex, as if the book itself grew with Harry. In the first book, Harry is merely an 11 year old being introduced to the magic world. In the…

standing out from the pale background. His long black hair with small hints of white around the cuffs oozes foreboding feelings of an arch villain. His appearance is common in the enemy of many modern-day villains. He can easily be compared to Severus Snape from the Harry Potter Saga or Scar from Disney’s Lion King. The costuming, although traditional priest wear, indicates to the audience that he is the true villain of this play and not as innocent as the other characters describe him…

Many people have opinions on gender roles, especially for females. When reading or watching the Harry Potter series, you can pick up on hints of both traditional and modern roles. Many people argue that Rowling created a world where female readers may learn that they are inferior to males (Whitton). While they may have a point in some situations, such as the troll incident in the lavatory in the first book, the female characters also stand their own ground. A great example of this is Molly…
