What did Severus snape do for Harry Potter?

Severus Snape attempted to get Harry Potter expelled from Hogwarts on several occasions. Snape wanted to punish Harry for James' actions towards Snape. Throughout the years, Snape bullied, embarrassed and punished Harry. Yet, Snape also works with Dumbledore to protect Harry's life because he wanted to protect the son of Lily Potter.


Did Snape ever care about or even like Harry Potter?

Opinions differ on this. Some take the view that Dumbledore truly cared about Harry and considered him a son which is why he was so involved in his life and took so many steps to help him. Others think that Dumbledore was so invested in making sure Harry survived because he knew that Voldemort had to destroy the Horcrux inside of him and that Harry may die, so who better to risk destroying the rest of the Horcruxes.


How do you know that Severus snape is good?

I do not think so as he wanted to harm Harry Potter all the time and he subtracted a lot of points from harry potter's house and supported Draco Malfoy and Slytherin the most. Plus, he made Neville's life a misery just for fun.


What did Harry Potter find in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Yes he did. He had been in possession of the invisibility cloak since his first year and it was rightfully his as the original owner of the cloak was his ancestor. He was the true master of the elder wand because Draco Malfoy disarmed Dumbledore therefore making it his, but Harry without knowing defeated Malfoy and became the master and he found the resurrection stone inside the very first golden snitch he caught which Dumbledore had left him.


Why does Harry Potter survive instead of voledmort?

because love conquers all. love lives on even after death, and continues to live on for all eternity...and even longer! the ultimate sacrifice is love, Harry's mother sacrificed her life for Harry. love can defeat anything, and it leaves a mark on us all. the ghosts of past love can rebound even the deadliest of spells. Harry Potter survived because his Mother made the ultimate sacrifice by protecting him til her dying breath, therefore bathing him in the glow of her everlasting love :) Plus one: because nobody could kill him yet. Or: because the author wanted him to survive.

Why does Snape kills Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?

He uses the Killing Curse " Avada Kadavra" when Draco won't kill DumbledoreSnape had to. And for a good reason. So, recap. Harry and Dumbledore found the horcrux, but to do so, Dumbledore had to drink the poisonous liquid. The liquid was part of "The dark lord's" soul. And so, as long as the liquid was in Dumbledore, Voldemort was still living. So, to kill him, Snape had to kill Dumbledore.-PJ1120

Why doesn't Lord Voldemort become aware of Severus Snape's unfaithfulness to him when he tries to keep Professor Quirrell away from the Philosopher's Stone?

Snape explains this to Bellatrix in the "Spinner's End" chapter of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He says that he didn't know Quirrell was working with Voldemort, that "I saw only greedy and unworthy Quirrell attempting to steal the stone and, I admit, I did all I could to thwart him," (USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p28). This might actually be the truth. In "The Prince' Tale" chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when Harry watches the memories Snape gave him while he was dying, one of the memories is from Harry's first year: Dumbledore asks Snape to "keep an eye on Quirrell," (USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p679). It is not clear whether or not Dumbledore suspects Quirrell to be working with Voldemort at this point, or if he thinks Quirrell is trying to steal the stone all by himself. Dumbledore is, of course, a genius, so it is possible that he already knew Quirrell was working with Voldemort. But even if Dumbledore did already suspect that Quirrell was working with Voldemort, it doesn't necessarily mean that he shared this information with Snape.
