Now, as firmly established, Snape was not the greatest fan of
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'.
Snape sent his patronus to guide Harry to the sword because if Snape went himself Harry wouldn't have listened to him as for him Snape was murderer of Dumbledore. Secondly and more importantly, Dumbledore advised Snape to not to give the sword by himself because connection between Harry and Voldemort was two way.
When Snape used his Patronus to lead Harry to the Sword of Gryffindor. But of course, it was not just Harry whose Patronus saved the day.
Snape's love for Lily fed his hatred for James, and meant he would stop at nothing ' even arranging the murder of her child ' to possess Lily. Lily's life would be spared in return for Snape giving information of the prophesy to Lord Voldemort.
Because Lily (according to them) had the nerve to not fall in love with her former childhood friend, Severus Snape and marry that no-good-evil-spoiled-rich-brat James Potter.
Harry Potter named his son after the character Professor Severus Snape in tribute to him dying for “for Harry out of love for Lily [Potter],”JK Rowling revealed on Friday.
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.
His patronus is a dwarf rabbit.
As Rowling explained in a series of tweets, Snape loved Harry's mother, Lily, and his unrequited affection drove him to resent Harry's father, James — and by extension, Harry himself.
They were close friends, she saw in him someone special that she could care about. But she couldn't be with him. So, it seems like it was very unlikely that Lily ever found out Snape loved her.
So when Ron said three, it wasn't a mistake. He meant there were three more horcruxes to destroy before being able to destroy the fourth and final piece which was in fact Voldemort himself.
"The first thing Snape asks Harry is "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning 'My regrets follow you to the grave' and wormwood means 'absence' and also typically symbolised bitter sorrow.
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.
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.
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.
Foxes are cunning, resourceful and fiercely intelligent – remind you of anything? That's right – we wouldn't be surprised if some members of Slytherin house find themselves with a fox Patronus. Foxes are also highly adaptable and can live in many diverse habitats around the world.
1 Harry Potter's Stag
Harry's Patronus, a stag, is certainly the most prominent in the series (and among the best Patronuses in the Wizarding World), as well as the strongest Patronus in the films. Unlike many wizards, he could produce his Patronus at the age of thirteen, with guidance from Remus Lupin.
In a Q&A with Harry Potter fans on Twitter, J.K. Rowling was quizzed what Hagrid's Patronus would be. In reply, she wrote, 'Hagrid couldn't produce a Patronus.
While it's a lot of fun to find out which Patronus each character has, knowing that Hagrid doesn't have one—a fact Rowling revealed during a 2015 Q&A—is actually quite upsetting for fans.
Neville Longbottom: Non-Corporeal Patronus
Neville is one of the only main characters whose Patronus does not take on the form of an animal. He learns how to produce a non-corporeal Patronus along with many other members of Dumbledore's Army during their secret meetings in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Draco's Patronus | Fandom. J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
Dumbledore reveals how thoroughly he loves Harry. Harry is brave, and Dumbledore is proud as any father would be. More than that, Dumbledore succumbs to a parent's weakness; he cares more about Harry's happiness and wellbeing than the wizarding world he is trying to protect.
Albus Potter goes to Hogwarts. He is Sorted into Slytherin House.
Scorpius Malfoy
Scorpius is the only-child of Astoria Greengrass and Draco Malfoy, and unlike Draco Malfoy, Scorpius seems very different to his father. Despite sharing the same physical attributes, such as the blond hair, Scorpius immediately displays an empathy his father did not at his age.
