A Double-Agent Villain

                People usually think that black is identical with  wickedness, either bad things, bad luck, crimes, or even villains. Those who watch or read Harry Potter will definitely think of someone that related to black color. If you're thinking of Severus Snape, then you have the same thinking with me. Severus Snape, who always wears a black clothes, is a Potions Teacher at Hogwarts, a Death Eater, and a secret agent. Since the first Harry Potter movie, Snape has been a mysterious character and hated by a lot of viewers. Yet, he has a very important role in Harry Potter series.

                Snape is known as a very cold, arrogant, sarcastic, cunning, and unfair, especially to Harry Potter and friends. Snape strongly dislikes Harry and likes to insult him by insulting his father named James Potter. When Snape was young, James Potter and his friends used to bully him. Because Snape is a kind of sensitive person,  he became insecure, vulnerable, and wanted to search something who had a big power to protect him. This is the reason why he joined Death Eater, an organization which he thought is the strongest and the safest place to stay. Start from this, Snape became one of Lord Voldemort's most loyal servant .

                The climax of his wickedness is when he killed Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts and Harry's mentor. All of Harry Potter's fans are shocked by this thing and definitely judge Snape as the bad guy. However, like an idiom which says, "Don't judge a book by its cover" , the truth about Snape isn't like what's seen. He did all of these for a reason. Killed Dumbledore is not his own urge, but it's Dumbledore who asked him to do that. This is why Snape has a very important role in Harry Potter series.  Snape is not only the agent of Death Eater, but also Dumbledore's agent. He's gravely wounded by Voldemort because he thinks that Snape is the master of the Elder Wand, which is the best and most powerful wand. But still, he gives reports about what happened in Death Eater to Dumbledore so they can take actions to protect Harry.

                Snape did all of these things because of his love to Harry's mother, Lily Evans, and he needs to protect Harry. You may say he's a villain, doing bad things and wickedness, but actually he did those things because of his  love. So, can we say that there's just a very little differences between a villain and a good guy?
