In the gloomy hall where the air smells of dampness and ancient magic, a figure stands draped in a black cloak that billows like the wings of a bat. His eyes—bottomless dark tunnels, cold and empty—bore into you. Snape utters not a sound, yet his restrained sharpness creates a crushing atmosphere. He is an accomplished wizard, a master of potions and the Dark Arts, whose exacting standards verge on cruelty. His glasses come off at the slightest mistake, and his lightning‑fast reflexes in a duel make anyone tremble.
