Phineas Nigellus's portrait inside it overheard Hermione and reported that to Snape. Snape thus knows that Harry and Hermione are in the Forest of Dean, though not exactly where; the Forest of Dean is a largish place, several wooded sections totaling about 40 square miles.
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.
Yet despite the danger of his mission, and despite being hated by most of the wizarding world, Snape held on to the one thing that kept him going: the safety of Lily's son. He even sent his Patronus to guide Harry Potter to the sword of Gryffindor (a known Horcrux-killer) in a nearby lake.
Severus Snapes Patronus was also a doe, which symbolized his love for Lily. Harry later discovers that the doe was Snapes patronus; he had placed the sword at the bottom of the lake, and was leading Harry to it.
Severus Snape: Doe
This indicates that Lily also had a doe patronus. Snape's patronus also leads Harry and Ron (Rupert Grint) to the sword of Gryffindor, though the boys don't know who it belongs to.
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.
Lily brought light and warmth into Snape's life from the moment they met. He was an isolated, lonely child whose magic would have only made him more of an outsider in his hometown of Cokeworth.
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.
"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.
Rowling said in a 2007 PotterCast interview, “The Elder Wand knows no loyalty except to strength. So it's completely unsentimental. It will only go where the power is.”
In this scene Snape gives Harry his tears so that Harry can bring them to the pensieve. The purpose of this is simple: give Harry the full story- and help him to understand his tragedy - 'The Prince's Tale'.
Draco had several reasons for lying to Bellatrix, including the fact that he was never a bad person. Moreover, he no longer found working for the Dark Lord appealing and hated how Voldemort treated his family. He did not intend to harm anyone and believed Harry was the only person capable of defeating Voldemort.
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.
Dumbledore used Snape's guilt over his part on Lily's death to manipulate him, but with the full knowledge what type of jerk Snape was. Snape was, at one level, a tool for his main goal and, therefore, he had to put up with the way he treated students.
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.
During the confrontation, Snape reveals himself as the eponymous "Half-Blood Prince" (being the half-blood son of Muggle Tobias Snape and pure-blood Eileen Prince).
James wasn't a murderer. Although there was no love lost between him and Snape, he realized that this time Sirius had gone too far. He saved Snape from tailing Remus into the tunnel and encountering a fully-grown werewolf at the other end.
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.
Her leaving Snape wasn't a sign of her being a bad friend but rather that their interests no longer clashed as he was studying something that Lily despised. They just grew apart over time, and that was no fault of Lily's.
The patronus of Snape here signifies his love for Lily and that his only motivation for protecting Harry was because he was Lily's son. In a way, yes. Mostly, especially to start with, he only took care of Harry for his mother, Lily, the love of his life.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
The most likely reason why Lord Voldemort's nose disappeared and he devolved into such an evil-looking creature is that as he dabbled deeper into the Dark Arts, his appearance gradually became as distorted as what remained of his twisted soul.
While most fans agree that Harry is the unrefuted Chosen One, the final Deathly Hallows film (in particular) sways heavily toward highlighting a heroic Neville, revitalizing the debate regarding which boy is better suited for the iconic title. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ...
