Professor Severus Snape
Snape is a postions master and defence aganst the dark arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Snape was potraid in the first six books as a hater of Harry. James Potter, Harry’s Father and his friends were always at war with Snape during their school years at Hogwarts. Snape always kept to himself and was always studying, where as James was the popular, outgoing and the athletic type. Potter disliked Snape hence his crush on Lilly and him wanting to be in Slytherin.
One day at school, James being the bully he is towards Severus, uses a spell, one of Severus own spells, to turn him upside down to reveal his underwear in front of several students including Lilly. Lilly came to his defense, but Severus was so taken back that he called Lilly a “Mudblood”. Lilly never really forgave Snape for this despite his love for her. Instead she married James Potter.
It was Severus that was ultimately responsible for James Potter’s death. After overhearing a prophecy, Severus reported to Voldermort that a child would be born that would lead to the demise of Voldemort. To prevent this from happening, Voldemort went to kill James and Harry. Lilly was to be spared because Severus pleaded for her life; however she died saving her sons life. Maybe that is what they mean by “A Mothers Dying Love”
After Lilly’s death, Severus Snape secretly dedicated his life to looking after her son, Harry who strongly resembled his Father James Potter, the man Severus hated for most of his life.
