[List of appearances]

Professor Snape is a minifigure based on the Harry Potter character, Severus Snape.

Description

To date, Professor Snape has appeared as five different variations. In The Philosopher's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets sets, Snape appears with a glow-in-the dark gray colored head, and gray hands. He is clothed in black robes, with a printed dark purple pattern on the torso and legs, and has a black cape. Snape's hair piece is black, shoulder length and parted in the middle. In 4733 The Duelling Club, Snape comes equipped with a dark gray wand.
In The Prisoner of Azkaban, Snape's appearance is slightly altered, where the purple printing on Snape's torso and legs is more opaque but of the same design, and he retains the same head and hair pieces.
In The Order of the Phoenix subtheme, Snape was completely redesigned to have a flesh-colored head and hands, and a different purple printed pattern on his torso. His legs and cape were made a plain black. The only piece to remain the same was Snape's hair piece.
In 2010, Snape has once again been redesigned, having a different flesh-colored head and torso piece with purple printing to the variation released under The Order of the Phoenix line. Once again, Snape has plain black legs and a black cape, along with flesh-colored hands, but comes with a hairpiece new in 2010. In his 2010 appearance, Snape is equipped with a black wand.

Boggart

While not actually representing Professor Snape himself, a Boggart (a shape-shifting magical creature which takes the form of the viewer's worst fear) impersonating Snape appears in 4752 Professor Lupin's Classroom after Neville Longbottom cast the Riddikulus charm on it, resulting in what appears to be the Professor in Neville's grandmother's clothing. The head, hair and hand pieces of this variant are consistent with the Professor Snape minifigures appearing in The Philosopher's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets, but the torso and leg pieces are sand-green, and the torso has printing on it representing Neville's grandmother's clothes, which includes a picture of a cat on it.

Background

Severus Snape was a former Death Eater (follower of Lord Voldemort), who later became a double agent and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, headed by Albus Dumbledore and then the Potions master at Hogwarts. After Voldemort's return, Dumbledore ordered Snape to go back to Voldemort and act as a spy for him. Voldemort accepted Snape back, believing that Snape had been gathering valuable information for him at Hogwarts when he was away. In Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, Snape was assigned to the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, the job which he had been applying for since he first joined the Hogwarts staff. Nearing the conclusion of the same year, several Death Eaters invaded Hogwarts, and cornered Harry and Dumbledore. Draco Malfoy was under orders from Voldemort to kill Dumbledore, but he was unable to do so, so Snape killed Dumbledore instead, cementing his position as one of Voldemort's most trusted Death Eaters. The next year, Snape was appointed Headmaster at Hogwarts after the Death Eaters invaded the Ministry of Magic and took control of it. A battle at Hogwarts broke out, which, in the end for Snape, resulted in Voldemort killing Snape over the Elder Wand, a wand which was believed to be unbeatable. In his final moments, Harry Potter came across Snape, and Snape showed Harry memories of his past, revealing that he had been acting under Dumbledore's orders the whole time, and had been protecting Harry.
