Summary: While Sorcerer’s Stone presented us with a Snape who was thoroughly unpleasant, at least in Harry’s eyes, it also gave us a Severus who was more hero than rogue. In ‘Chamber of Secrets’ we get less direct conflict between Harry and Snape, but there are a few scenes that shed light on Snape’s interactions with the other faculty members. And a duel. Must not forget the duel! Read on, as my search for canon Snape continues.

In the hands of a good writer, almost any of these will actually work for me! However, it’s always nice to have canon to go back to. Based on canon, we don’t actually KNOW that much about Snape. In an attempt to key in on what we do know, I’ve gone through the books and pulled out all of the ‘Snape relevant’ passages as a way of providing a quick resource. I find them helpful when I want to touch base with canon and I’m throwing them up on the web in case others find them helpful as well.
