This thread is for those of us who love and remember both Severus Snape and our very own Mme. Snape.

In their honor we welcome all of you to post anything, and I mean ANYTHING Severus Snape related.

Now for our very first addition to the Enigmatic Severus Snape;

"From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape."

I did not know Mme. Snape very well, but I know she is dear to some on here, and I hope this offers a way to honor her spirit.

May they rest in peace

“Albus Severus," Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.”

"I am fortunate, extremely fortunate, that I have you, Severus." Albus Dumbledore

"I am very lucky to be working alongside Professor Snape" Remus Lupin

"..Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousands times in golden ink: friends...friends...friends..." From Deathly Hallows

[JB Rockus]

My fave Snape quote (from Philosopher's Stone: movie): 'You better be careful....people will think you're...up to something.' It was Alan Rickman's (Snape) expression that made it brilliant!!

RIP Severus Snape and Mme Snape (Yolande)

My favorite Snape quotes from Sorcerer's Stone (book/movie)

You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses ... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even put a stopper on death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach.

Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention! ...Mister Potter. Our new celebrity.

For your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite. Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?"

Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it, Mr. Potter?
----------

"Blasted thing, How are you supposed to keep your eyes on all three heads at once?"

----------

"You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell."

"Very well,we'll have another little chat soon, when you've had time to think things over and decided where your loyalties lie."

----------

"You shouldn't be inside on a day like this. You want to be more careful. Hanging around like this, people will think you're up to something. And Gryffindor really can't afford to lose any more points, can it?"

"Be warned, Potter—any more nighttime wanderings and I will personally make sure you are expelled. Good day to you."

My favorite Snape lines from Chamber of Secret's (book/movie)

"Or maybe, he's waiting to hear why you two didn't arrive on the school train."

"So, the train isn't good enough for the famous Harry Potter and his faithful sidekick Weasley. Wanted to arrive with a bang, did we, boys?"

"You were seen! Two Muggles in London, convinced they saw an old car flying over the Post Office tower... at noon in Norfolk, Mrs. Hetty Bayliss, while hanging out her washing... Mr. Angus Fleet, of Peebles, reported to police... Six or seven Muggles in all. I believe your father works in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office? ...Dear, dear... his own son..."
----------
"I noticed, in my search of the park, that considerable damage seems to have been done to a very valuable Whomping Willow."

"Most unfortunately, you are not in my House and the decision to expel you does not rest with me. I shall go and fetch the people who do have that happy power. You will wait here."
----------
"If I might speak, Headmaster, Potter and his friends may have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said, a slight sneer curling his mouth as though he doubted it. "But we do have a set of suspicious circumstances here. Why was he in the upstairs corridor at all? Why wasn't he at the Halloween feast?"
----------
"I suggest, Headmaster, that Potter is not being entirely truthful. It might be a good idea if he were deprived of certain privileges until he is ready to tell us the whole story. I personally feel he should be taken off the Gryffindor Quidditch team until he is ready to be honest."
----------
A bad idea, Professor Lockhart, Longbottom causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending what's left of Finch-Fletchley up to the hospital wing in a matchbox. How about Malfoy and Potter?"
----------
"Just the man. The very man. A girl has been snatched by the monster, Lockhart. Taken into the Chamber of Secrets itself. Your moment has come at last."

"I certainly remember you saying you were sorry you hadn't had a crack at the monster before Hagrid was arrested. Didn't you say that the whole affair had been bungled, and that you should have been given a free rein from the first?"

My favorite Snape lines from Prisoner of Azkaban:

“Orange. Tell me, boy, does anything penetrate that thick skull of yours? Didn't you hear me say, quite clearly, that only one bat spleen was needed? Didn't I state plainly that a dash of leech juice would suffice? What do I have to do to make you understand, Longbottom?"

“I don't remember asking you to show off, Miss Granger. Longbottom, at the end of this lesson we will feed a few drops of this potion to your toad and see what happens. Perhaps that will encourage you to do it properly."

Everyone gather around, and watch what happens to Longbottom's toad. If he has managed to produce a Shrinking Solution, it will shrink to a tadpole. If, as I don't doubt, he has done it wrong, his toad is likely to be poisoned.

Five points from Gryffindor. I told you not to help him, Miss Granger. Class dismissed."

------
"Possibly no one's warned you, Lupin, but this class contains Neville Longbottom. I would advise you not to entrust him with anything difficult. Not unless Miss Granger is hissing instructions in his ear."

------
"He says he is feeling too ill to teach today. …As I was saying before Potter interrupted, Professor Lupin has not left any record of the topics you have covered so far—"

“Be quiet. I did not ask for information. I was merely commenting on Professor Lupin's lack of organization.”

“Today we shall discuss --Werewolves"

Miss Granger, I was under the impression that I am teaching this lesson, not you. And I am telling you all to turn to page 394…All of you! Now!”

Well, well, well, I never thought I'd meet a third-year class who wouldn't even recognize a werewolf when they saw one. I shall make a point of informing Professor Dumbledore how very behind you all are..."

"That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Grange. Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all."

“You will each write an essay, to be handed in to me, on the ways you recognize and kill werewolves. I want two rolls of parchment on the subject, and I want them by Monday morning. It is time somebody took this class in hand. Weasley, stay behind, we need to arrange your detention."

------
"You have a habit of turning up in unexpected places, Potter, and you are very rarely there for no good reason... I suggest the pair of you return to Gryffindor Tower, where you belong."

------
Mr. Malfoy has just been to see me with a strange story, Potter. …He tells me that he was up by the Shrieking Shack when he ran into Weasley—apparently alone…"Mr. Malfoy states that he was standing talking to Weasley, when a large amount of mud hit him in the back of the head. How do you think that could have happened?"

"Mr. Malfoy then saw an extraordinary apparition. Can you imagine what it might have been, Potter?"

"It was your head, Potter. Floating in midair."

"What would your head have been doing in Hogsmeade, Potter? …Your head is not allowed in Hogsmeade. No part of your body has permission to be in Hogsmeade."

"Malfoy is not having hallucinations, …If your head was in Hogsmeade, so was the rest of you."
So, everyone from the Minister of Magic downward has been trying to keep famous Harry Potter safe from Sirius Black. But famous Harry Potter is a law unto himself Let the ordinary people worry about his safety! Famous Harry Potter goes where he wants to, with no thought for the consequences.”

"How extraordinarily like your father you are, Potter…He too was exceedingly arrogant. A small amount of talent on the Quidditch field made him think he was a cut above the rest of us too. Strutting around the place with his friends and admirers... The resemblance between you is uncanny."

"Your father didn't set much store by rules either…Rules were for lesser mortals, not Quidditch Cup-winners. His head was so swollen—"

"And did the headmaster tell you the circumstances in which your father saved my life …Or did he consider the details too unpleasant for precious Potter's delicate ears?"

“I would hate for you to run away with a false idea of your father, Potter …Have you been imagining some act of glorious heroism? Then let me correct you—your saintly father and his friends played a highly amusing joke on me that would have resulted in my death if your father hadn't got cold feet at the last moment. There was nothing brave about what he did. He was saving his own skin as much as mine. Had their joke succeeded, he would have been expelled from Hogwarts.”

Surely you don't need such a very old piece of parchment? …Why don't I just—throw this away?"
“Reveal your secret! …Show yourself!"

"Professor Severus Snape, master of this school, commands you to yield the information you conceal!"

“Indeed? …You think a joke shop could supply him with such a thing? You don't think it more likely that he got it directly from the manufacturers?"

------
You're wondering, perhaps, how I knew you were here? …I've just been to your office, Lupin. You forgot to take your potion tonight, so I took a gobletful along. And very lucky I did... lucky for me, I mean. Lying on your desk was a certain map. One glance at it told me all I needed to know. I saw you running along this passageway and out of sight."

"I've told the headmaster again and again that you're helping your old friend Black into the castle, Lupin, and here's the proof. Not even I dreamed you would have the nerve to use this old place as your hideout—"

"Two more for Azkaban tonight. …I shall be interested to see how Dumbledore takes this... He was quite convinced you were harmless, you know, Lupin... a tame werewolf."

“Give me a reason. …Give me a reason to do it, and I swear I will."

“Miss Granger, you are already facing suspension from this school. You, Potter, and Weasley are out-of-bounds, in the company of a convicted murderer and a werewolf. For once in your life, hold your tongue."

“Vengeance is very sweet. …How I hoped I would be the one to catch you..."

"Up to the castle? …I don't think we need to go that far. All I have to do is call the dementors once we get out of the Willow. They'll be very pleased to see you, Black... pleased enough to give you a little kiss, I daresay... I—"

"I'll drag the werewolf. Perhaps the dementors will have a kiss for him too—"

"Do I detect a flicker of fear? Ah, yes. The Dementor's Kiss. One can only imagine what that must be like to endure. It's said to be nearly unbearable to witness, but I'll do my best."

"Get out of the way, Potter, you're in enough trouble already," snarled Snape. "If I hadn't been here to save your skin—"

“Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck; you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he'd killed you! You'd have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black—now get out of the way, or I will make you. GET OUT OF THE WAY, POTTER!"

------
"As a matter of fact, it was Potter, Weasley, and Granger, Minister..."

"Black had bewitched them, I saw it immediately. A Confundus Charm, to judge by their behavior. They seemed to think there was a possibility he was innocent. They weren't responsible for their actions. On the other hand, their interference might have permitted Black to escape... They obviously thought they were going to catch Black single-handed. They've got away with a great deal before now... I'm afraid it's given them a rather high opinion of themselves... and of course Potter has always been allowed an extraordinary amount of license by the headmaster—"

"And yet—is it good for him to be given so much special treatment? Personally, I try and treat him like any other student. And any other student would be suspended—at the very least—for leading his friends into such danger. Consider, Minister—against all school rules—after all the precautions put in place for his protection— out-of-bounds, at night, consorting with a werewolf and a murderer—and I have reason to believe he has been visiting Hogsmeade illegally too—"

------
"HE DIDN'T DISAPPARATE! …YOU CAN'T APPARATE OR DISAPPARATE INSIDE THIS CASTLE! THIS— HAS—SOMETHING—TO—DO—WITH—POTTER!"

"OUT WITH IT, POTTER! …WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"THEY HELPED HIM ESCAPE, I KNOW IT!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW POTTER! …HE DID IT, I KNOW HE DID IT—"

Wow, so many great quotes!
My all time favorite Snape scene is near the end of OOP in Umbridge's office. Snape is there and the trio and friends have been caught and one of them is holding Neville so hard he is choking. Snape makes a snarky comment that if the inquisitor ends up choking Neville to death he won't be able to give him a job recommendation.
I loved it because I felt Snape was actually trying to help Neville but being very sarcastic so Umbridge wouldn't catch on. That scene was when I really started falling in love with the character.

If Severus Snape had a when he was a youngster attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I bet it might look just like this little fella;

My favorite lines from Goblet of Fire:

"It's no one's fault but Potter's, Karkaroff. …Don't go blaming Dumbledore for Potter's determination to break rules. He has been crossing lines ever since he arrived here—"
-----
"And what is all this noise about?"
"Explain."
"Hospital wing, Goyle," "Let's see, …Fifty points from Gryffindor and a detention each for Potter and Weasley. Now get inside, or it'll be a week's worth of detentions."

-----
"Antidotes! …You should all have prepared your recipes now. I want you to brew them carefully, and then, we will be selecting someone on whom to test one..."
"Potter has another hour of Potions to complete, …He will come upstairs when this class is finished."
"Very well, very well, …Potter, leave your things here, I want you back down here later to test your antidote."
"Very well! …Potter—take your bag and get out of my sight!"
-----
"...don't see what there is to fuss about, Igor."
"Then flee, …Flee—I will make your excuses. I, however, am remaining at Hogwarts."
"Ten points from Ravenclaw, Fawcett!"
"And ten points from Hufflepuff too, Stebbins!"
"And what are you two doing?"
"Keep walking, then!"
-----
"Peeves? …But Peeves couldn't get into my office..."
"I heard banging and wailing—"
"—I was coming to investigate—"
"and when I passed my office, I saw that the torches were lit and a cupboard door was ajar! Somebody has been searching it!"
"I know he couldn't, Filch! …I seal my office with a spell none but a wizard could break!"
"I want you to come and help me search for the intruder, Filch."
"Filch, I don't give a damn about that wretched poltergeist; it's my office that's—"
…"It is unimportant.”
"A student, I daresay, …It has happened before. Potion ingredients have gone missing from my private store cupboard ...students attempting illicit mixtures, no doubt..."
"You know I'm hiding nothing, Moody, …as you've searched my office pretty thoroughly yourself."
"Dumbledore happens to trust me. …I refuse to believe that he gave you orders to search my office!"
"You don't have the authority to send me anywhere! …I have as much right to prowl this school after dark as you do!"
"Potter."
"Potter!"
"That egg is Potters egg. That piece of parchment belongs to Potter. I have seen it before, I recognize it! Potter is here! Potter, in his Invisibility Cloak!"
"Meaning what?"
"I merely thought, …that if Potter was wandering around after hours again ...it's an unfortunate habit of his ...he should be stopped. For—for his own safety."
"I think I will go back to bed,"
-----
"Ah... reading magazines under the table as well?"
"A further ten points from Gryffindor ...oh but of course ..."
"Potter has to keep up with his press cuttings..."
"'Harry Potter's Secret Heartache... dear, dear. Potter, what's ailing you now? 'A boy like no other, perhaps... '"
"'... Harry Potter's well-wishers must hope that, next time, he bestows his heart upon a worthier candidate. 'How very touching."
"Well, I think I had better separate the three of you, so you can keep your minds on your potions rather than on your tangled love lives. Weasley, you stay here. Miss Granger, over there, beside Miss Parkinson. Potter—that table in front of my desk. Move. Now."
"All this press attention seems to have inflated your already over-large head. Potter."
"You might be laboring under the delusion that the entire wizarding world is impressed with you, …but I don't care how many times your picture appears in the papers. To me. Potter, you are nothing but a nasty little boy who considers rules to be beneath him."
"So I give you fair warning, Potter," …pint-sized celebrity or not—if I catch you breaking into my office one more time—"
"Don't lie to me, …Boomslang skin. Gillyweed. Both come from my private stores, and I know who stole them."
"You were out of bed on the night my office was broken into! …I know it. Potter! Now, Mad-Eye Moody might have joined your fan club, but I will not tolerate your behavior! One more nighttime stroll into my office, Potter, and you will pay!"
"Do you know what this is. Potter?"
"It is Veritaserum—a Truth Potion so powerful that three drops would have you spilling your innermost secrets for this entire class to hear. …Now, the use of this potion is controlled by very strict Ministry guidelines. But unless you watch your step, you might just find that my hand slips"—he shook the crystal bottle slightly—"right over your evening pumpkin juice. And then. Potter... then we'll find out whether you've been in my office or not."
--
"Enter."
"I'll talk to you after my lesson, Karkaroff."
"After the lesson."
"What's so urgent?"
"Put it away!"
"We can talk later, Karkaroff!"
"Potter! What are you doing?"
------
"POTTER!"
"What are you doing here, Potter?"
"What is this rubbish?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The headmaster is busy. Potter."
"Didn't you hear me. Potter?"
---
"Crouch!" … "Barty Crouch!"
"When we told Mr. Fudge that we had caught the Death Eater responsible for tonight's events, …he seemed to feel his personal safety was in question. He insisted on summoning a dementor to accompany him into the castle. He brought it up to the office where Barty Crouch—"
"There, …There. The Dark Mark. It is not as clear as it was an hour or so ago, when it burned black, but you can still see it. Every Death Eater had the sign burned into him by the Dark Lord. It was a means of distinguishing one another, and his means of summoning us to him. When he touched the Mark of any Death Eater, we were to Disapparate, and Apparate, instantly, at his side. This Mark has been growing clearer all year. Karkaroff's too. Why do you think Karkaroff fled tonight? We both felt the Mark . We both knew he had returned. Karkaroff fears the Dark Lord's vengeance. He betrayed too many of his fellow Death Eaters to be sure of a welcome back into the fold."
"Him!" … "What is he doing here?"

"I am.”
