I think what everybody loves about Snape is the mystery behind him. You have this grand battle between DD and Voldy for whose teh most powerful, but as you continue to see Snape evolve, you are just amazed at the development of this character. He appears to be teh third most powerful person in the entire magical world.

Hmm you think? I guess he is powerful.

I didn't get that snape was good before book 7. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I guess I never really analyzed things, I just read it.

I think you begin to see how important snape is as the books unfold. As a student he was already coming up with spells that were worthwhile years later. He was the master of potions and the darkarts. He could fly, and i assume his dueling is probably unmatched except for by a few.
