Any wizard with enough talent might be an animagus! And there is no question that Snape was a talented wizard, and that he could have become one if he had wanted to. But the fact is, there is not one single shred of evidence in Canon that Snape ever became an animagus.
A doe. And in his final battle with Lord Voldemort, Harry explained the significance of this to his adversary, and to us: 'Snape's Patronus was a doe,' said Harry, 'the same as my mother's, because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from the time when they were children'.
To readers and fans of the films, Snape's backstory—that he was protecting Harry from Voldemort out of his never-ending love for Harry's mother, Lily—was not known until the seventh book and eighth movie.

Lord Voldemort was also able to practice powerful wandless magic. From what we were able to glean about wandless magic from those that practiced it in Harry Potter, it's particularly volatile, and can only be used effectively by powerful and disciplined wizards and witches.
Flying. Yes, yes. We know most wizards can fly whenever they want, providing they have a broomstick — or in more extreme cases, a Hippogriff.

A doe. And in his final battle with Lord Voldemort, Harry explained the significance of this to his adversary, and to us: 'Snape's Patronus was a doe,' said Harry, 'the same as my mother's, because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from the time when they were children'.
In these memories Harry saw Snape's frantic conferences with Dumbledore about the prophecy and how he begged for some way to keep Lily safe from Voldemort; and later, when her death made him wish for his own. Imagine squeezing out of the grasp of a murderer, and then working directly against him.
In the film, Snape, played by the late Alan Rickman, asks Harry, 'Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood? ' While the complexity behind the Potions question went completely over our heads, it turns out that it was very important to the story.
Snape Is Powerful AF
He was capable of brewing highly complicated potions such as the Wolfsbane Potion and Veritaserum, as well as using nonverbal spells and performing wand-less magic. He also is a Dark Magic genius.
In order to conjure the avada kedavra curse, you have to want to kill your victim. We all know that Voldemort could easily kill a child without an ounce of remorse... but not Snape. Snape didn't want to kill Dumbledore, and this was why the spell was blue instead of the usual green.
Artemis's sacred animal was a deer. In Potter, Snape's Patronus, a soul-guarding magic spell, takes the form of a deer—more specifically, a doe—as a symbol of his love for Lily, because hers was a doe as well.
Hermione is the brightest witch of her age, and she would be the first in the group to successfully transform into her Animagus form, a rather fitting fox.
They are James Potter, Sirius, Wormtail, Skeeter, McGonagall, Talbott Winger, and an unnamed witch who can turn into a cat. The fact that there are so few Animagi just causes us fans to want to know more about them. After all, they are some of the most unique characters in all of Harry Potter.

Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.

Other than the Slytherins, Snape bullied almost anyone, especially those he saw as weak or a threat to him.
12. Snape's Last Words. In the [Deathly Hallows] book, Snape's dying words to Harry were "Look at me". Right then we did not realize the significance of his words but in the very next chapter when Harry goes through Snape's memories in the Pensieve, he comes to know how much Snape loved Lily.
For the Potter uninitiated, “always” is how Snape explains to Dumbledore in the final book why his Patronus takes the same shape as the one belonging to his long-lost love: Harry Potter's mother, Lily.
Wizarding society is kept hidden from Muggle society through a vast and complex range of concealment charms. If a Muggle were to look at Hogwarts, for example, all they would see is a ruin with signs telling them to keep out.
If Lord Voldemort wasn't one of the most evil wizards the wizarding world has ever known, then he would surely be remembered as one of its most brilliant. Case in point: he achieved what was long thought to be a magical impossibility, and invented a spell that allows the user to fly.
