Not too long ago, millions of Harry Potter fans, myself included, mourned the loss of our beloved Professor Snape – perhaps the only professor some of us will like in our lifetime. What made him so loveable? Perhaps it was how he turned from antagonist to protagonist or his love for Lily or perhaps an amalgam of reasons. This is a tribute of sorts to our beloved Professor Severus Snape.

1. Snape: "Turn to page 394."

2. Snape: "I have no idea. Potter, when I want nonsense shouted at me I shall give you a Babbling Beverage. And Crabbe, loosen your hold a little if Longbottom suffocates it will mean a lot of tedious paperwork, and I am afraid I shall have to mention it on you reference if ever you apply for a job."

3. Dolores Umbridge: [during an inspection] "You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?"

Severus Snape: "Yes."

Dolores Umbridge: "But you were unsuccessful?"

Severus Snape: [with annoyance in voice] "Obviously."

4. Severus Snape: "You sent for me, Headmistress?'

Dolores Umbridge: "Ah, yes. The time has come for answers, whether he wants to give them or not. Have you bought the Veritaserum?"

Severus Snape: "I'm afraid you have used up all my stores interrogating students, the last of it on Miss Chang. Unless you wish to poison Potter - and I assure you, I would have the greatest sympathy if you did - I cannot help you."

5. Professor Snape: "Which one of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?"

[Hermione raises her hand]

Professor Snape: [without turning around] "No-one? How disappointing."

6. Professor Snape: "That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Tell me, are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?"

Ron: "He's got a point, you know."

7. Snape: [Cormac throws up on Snape'sshoes] "You've just earned yourself detention for a month, McClaggen."

8. Snape: "The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."

9. Snape: "You dare use my own spells against me, Potter? Yes. I'm the Half-Blood Prince."

10. Snape: "Always."
