Answer 1

Snape was very guarded about his past. We only got the occasional brief glimpse of what his home life may have been like. We are given the impression that Tobias was not very kind and understanding to Snape all the same.

Answer 2

When Harry accidentally breaks into Snape's mind in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and sees some of Snape's childhood memories, one of the memories he sees is Snape's dad yelling at Snape's "cowering" mother (USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p592). The fact that Eileen Snape was cowering from her husband suggests that he was physically abusive to her, since you don't usually cower from someone unless you are afraid they're going to hit you. If Tobias Snape did indeed beat his wife, then it is certainly possible that he beat young Severus too.

He didnt really care but snape did care for lily potter (harrys mother) but that was only when was young though.

p.s man utd rule

He didn't care for Harry at first, but as time went by he grew to care for the boy in a 'tough love' sort of way. Yes he did care, but wouldn't/couldn't admit it to himself until the very end.

Yes he does. He loved Harry's mom, Lily, until she died (and even afterwards) and was always bitter that she chose James Potter over him. Harry also looked so much like his father that he was constantly reminded of him.

Yes, Severus Snape did kill Albus Dumbledore, but there was more to the story. He had a reason outside of murder, which was explained in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This was a major turn in the story, and it redefined how we looked at some characters.

Yes, Severus Snape hit Albus Dumbledore with the killing curse. Dumbledore had previously asked Snape that when the time came, to make sure he was the person to kill him. This was to protect Draco and to ensure that Dumbledore died the master of the Elder wand. However, as Draco disarmed Dumbledore shortly before his death he became the master of the Elder wand - although nobody knew this until the wand had once again changed allegiance.

No, Albus Dumbledore told Snape to kill him because that way he could die the true master of the elder wand and Draco Malfoy's soul would be saved.
