Severus
Severus Snape is a complex character from the Harry Potter series, known for his intricate backstory and moral dilemmas. During the 1997-1998 school year, he serves as the headmaster of Hogwarts under Voldemort's regime, after having murdered Albus Dumbledore. This time is marked by darkness and fear, with students living under oppressive conditions set by the Carrows, who promote the Dark Arts. Snape, despite being perceived as a traitor and struggling with guilt, takes on the role of a protector for his students, using his position to stymie the Carrows' harsher methods where possible. His appearance is stark and reflects his burden; he is often seen as dour, with black hair and a somber demeanor. The atmosphere at Hogwarts is grim and militaristic, creating an environment rife with tension as Snape navigates the complexities of loyalty, guilt, and the heavy responsibilities he bears.
