This is a very broad question, and not worded correctly. Severus Snape killed Albus Dumbledore in the end of the sixth book. Dumbledore had asked Snape to kill him, to save Draco Malfoy's soul because of the Unbreakable Vow that Narcissa Malfoy made Snape take in the beginning of the sixth book since Voldemort had ordered Draco to kill Dumbledore.


Is Severus Snape a bad guy?

In the end we discover that Severus Snape is a good guy who is working along side the Order of the Phoneix. For the most part of the Harry Potter series, Snape is seen as a horrible man who hates Harry only because of an old grudge with Harry's father and two of his father's friends and because Severus loved only one woman in his life, Lily Evans, who was Harry's mother. Everytime he saw Harry it was a reminder that he lost out because of a silly mistake and now the woman he loved was dead. Snape and Lily met when they were children and were best friends until their years at Hogwarts, when they were separated into different Houses. Snape was already making Death Eater friends by the time he was in third year. This angered Lily because they were cruel to others, including her friends. However Snape was also bullied and one day Lily stood up for him when James and Sirius were embarrassing him. Snape then shouted that he didn't need help from a mud-blood and Lily never spoke to him again. When Harry came to Hogwarts, Snape immediately did not like him due to the memories he had of James tormenting him because Harry looks just like his father. However Snape ad promised Dumbledore he would help protect the child of someone he loved - he just didn't have to show he was doing it or like what he was doing. Harry's thoughts on Snape become very confused during his years at Hogwarts. Snape was always unmerciful and cruel towards Harry, but then again Snape had saved Harry once from falling from his broom at a Quidditch match. It is discovered that Snape was playing a double agent role between the sides of Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort, although until the seventh book, no one truly knows what side he is on. Snape passed information from the Order onto the Death Eaters but only information which Dumbledore told him to pass on. Snape was truly on the side of the Order but pretended that he was a Death Eater to find out information which he then passed onto the Order - of course to be acquainted with Dumbledore and not arouse suspicion he had to pretend to the Death Eaters that he was spying on the Order for them. He was told by Dumbledore to kill him so that the Elder Wand wouldn't belong to anybody. However, Voldemort thinks Snape owns it and so kills him to become the true master. Snape gives Harry his memories explaining the missing parts of the story and then tells Harry to look into his eyes so that the last thing he saw before he died was Lily Evans eyes. Later in life Harry named one of his children Albus Severus after the two bravest people he ever knew.


What problems did Harry Potter have?

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened allowing an unknown monster to roam the school and attack muggle-born students. The creature has, in the past, resulted in the death of one student and so the school might be closed unless the threat can be stopped. The monster then takes Ginny Weasley into the chamber, forcing Harry and Ron who have just discovered the entrance, to go down and save her.
