Severus Snape

Snape was born on January 9, 1960, to Eileen Prince, a pure-blood witch, and Tobias Snape, a Muggle, making him a half-blood wizard. With a neglectful and possibly violent father, Severus began to identify with his mother's family and created a secret nickname using his mother's maiden name, calling himself "the Half-Blood Prince." His unhappy relationship with his father may have been the origin of his disdain for Muggles. It is likely that Severus had no friends and received no affection from his parents. This lack of affection formed Severus' bitter demeanor and cruel behavior throughout his life.

Severus grew up on Spinner's End, an ugly suburb of Cokeworth. This area of town was located near a dirty river and filled with brick houses, abandoned factories, and broken streetlights. For the rest of his life, Severus continued to return there when he wasn't at school. The young Severus is described as dirty and wearing mismatched clothes "so odd that it seemed almost intentional." As a child, Severus was apparently neglected as his parents fought constantly. He eagerly awaited going to Hogwarts at the end of summer.

Lily Evans and her family probably lived in the same town near Spinner's End. After observing her for some time (while Lily thought he hated her), Severus realized her evident powers and began making friendly overtures towards her. The two quickly became friends but he showed interest in Lily from the beginning while she only considered him a good friend initially (and eventually fell in love with James Potter). During this time he also developed contempt for Lily’s older sister Petunia because she made offensive comments about Snape’s clothes/home but also because she was not magical like them (a Muggle).

Severus’ own memories suggest that as children they both had great magical talent before attending Hogwarts; however socially awkward around others including those he wanted approval from like Lilly Evans or teachers such as Dumbledore . In childhood Snape excelled at Dark Arts spells - by age eleven knowing more curses/hexes than most seventh years students did; supposedly friendly w/ Death Eaters Avery & Mulciber group early on too! He created popular spells like Levicorpvs & Liberacorpvs + jinxes Abaffatho etc., plus darker curses Trvlngua & Sectumsempra mark spell later too though very controversial due nature causing severe bodily harm if not death upon target struck by it… Also during school years Tiago (James Potter) + pals often feuded w/ him due arrogant popular athletic tendencies clashing against introverted bookish ones leading up tensions between them culminating into isolation sadness loneliness throughout adolescence until becoming Defence Against Dark Arts professor post-schooling period where we see more development character wise beyond initial impressions given earlier periods narrated herein above all else…
