“A creature I wouldn't want to kiss . . . a spider!” Harry figures out the riddle, and realizes that a spider is about to attack. But what he doesn't realize is what I now believe: that the spider in the maze is Professor Snape, in his Animagus form. It is Spider/Snape who bears down on Cedric and Harry.
If Severus Snape was an animagus then he would be an animal that would rival the Marauders. Given that three of the Marauders (Remus, Sirius, and James) were large four-legged animals, Snape would also be one too.
Case study 2: Severus Snape
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'.
Nope, there's no slightest evidence that he was one, nor was there any evidence that told us that he was any good at Transfiguration.
In the Harry Potter books, only a few Animagi (registered and unregistered alike) are even mentioned. 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.
“Technically, it's a ferret.” Barty Crouch Jr. may have been completely wrong to transfigure Draco as a punishment, but he was within the same family of what I believe Draco's Animagus form would take, which is the stoat, or ermine.
For example: if Viktor Krum can transfigure his head into a shark's, like he does in Goblet of Fire, that doesn't mean he is an Animagus. Transfiguration is a form of spell-casting, whereas becoming an Animagus is forever. And yes, he could turn into a falcon.
'While it is true that he has an unhealthy pallor, and is sometimes described as looking like a large bat in his long black cloak, he never actually turns into a bat, we meet him outside the castle by daylight, and no corpses with puncture marks in their necks ever turn up at Hogwarts. '
Animagus. Lily's animagus form is a Doe, coupling with her husband, James Potter who is a Stag.
Snape uses his doe Patronus to show Dumbledore that he never fell out of love with Lily, his childhood best friend. Warner Bros. Snape's doe Patronus reveals his one true motivation throughout Harry's life: to protect the child of the woman he loved.
Snape was born to Eileen Prince, a witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood (hence the name, "Half-Blood Prince"). This is rare for a Death Eater, as remarked in the last book, though Voldemort himself also had a Muggle father.
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.
1 Albatross
As the rarest Patronus in the Wizarding World possible, the Albatross represents an enormous bird that flies freely across any sea. This rare Patronus represents those who are simultaneously fearless, optimistic, happy-go-lucky, and ambitious.
Peter Pettigrew's Animagus form was a rat. Colloquially, a "rat" is a snitch or informant. Webster's also lists the following possible definition: "a contemptible person: such as... one who betrays or deserts friends or associates."
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Remus Lupin shared that it took his fellow Marauders – James, Sirius and Peter – until their fifth year at Hogwarts to finally become Animagi and keep him company in his werewolf form.
Madam Professor Minerva McGonagall (born 4 October 1935) was a witch and Animagus who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1947 to 1954 and was sorted into Gryffindor.
Also one's Patronus and Animagus forms can be the same. So by that logic it is fairly plausible that Dumbledore's Animagus form could have been a Phoenix.
Following both ordeals, Ginny grew into a confident young woman. Her and her friends followed in the footsteps of a previous generation, completely unbeknownst to them, and became Animagi at the age of fourteen, to support their best friend, Maisie Cattermole. Ginny took the form of a grey mare.
Because there was no need for him to become one. Besides he had lot of other important stuff going on in school unlike his father and his friends who were determined to help Lupin.
History of Slytherin
The Head of Slytherin is Horace Slughorn (who left the role to Severus Snape for fifteen years before taking it up again in 1996) and the House's patron ghost is the Bloody Baron.
Yes, yes. We know most wizards can fly whenever they want, providing they have a broomstick — or in more extreme cases, a Hippogriff. But it's also possible, in the rarest of cases, that wizards can fly unaided themselves, as first demonstrated by Lord Voldemort in Deathly Hallows, and later Severus Snape.
Severus Snape is one of the most divisive characters in the entire "Harry Potter" series. He was a double agent, so many character details were kept a secret. His mother was a witch and his father was a Muggle, leading to the moniker "The Half-Blood Prince."
He probably did suspect it. In fact I think early in the book Harry mentions to Lupin that he has had an encounter with the Grim - a big, shaggy, black dog. So Lupin almost certainly knows that Sirius is using his animagus for to stay out of sight, if not to break out of Azkaban or into Hogwarts.
Was Voldemort an Animagus? No, Voldemort was not an Animagus. He didn't see any reason to become an Animagus despite being a gifted wizard and knowing a lot of magic. This may simply be because his sole purpose was to obtain immortality and become the strongest wizard who could control the world around him.
Strikingly, Harry's Patronus was a stag and his mother Lily's was a doe, a female deer, showing that the family's characters were in harmony and formed part of the same animal group.
