Snape

The Harry Potter series may be named after the Boy Who Lived but if you want to know the story keep your eyes fixed on Severus Snape. This hooknosed greasyhaired grumpy character is one of J.K. Rowlings enduring gifts to English literature. Hes the archetypal illtempered teacher acerbic yet horribly deliciously funny. When hes in a scene you cant take your eyes off him. Snape is always the story. From the Introduction In this examination of J.K. Rowlings most enigmatic character Lorrie Kim shows us how to sort through the illusions and lies to the man who dared to spy on Voldemort. In his final moments he asks Harry and the reader to Look at me. This book does just that.
