2016 has sadly started out with a few unfortunate deaths. Unfortunately, one of those people was Alan Rickman, better known as Professor Snape for many Harry Potter fans. This loss was heartbreaking to a lot of people. However, in times of sadness, it's best to think of the great memories we have. So I have found a few of my own favorite moments with Snape to remember during this time of sadness.

1. That time he was sick of Hermione answering all of his questions and took points away from Gryffindor.

2. When Snape asks Harry Potter about the difference between ghosts and an Inferius.

3. Whenever he hit Ron or Harry on the head. Classic.

4. When Snape hesitates to raise his wand against Professor McGonagall.

5. Confronting Harry and Ron about the flying car.

6. When he accuses Harry of stealing from him.

7. When he protects Harry, Ron, and Hermione when Lupin changes into a werewolf.

8. The flashback that tells you that Snape loved Harry's mother.

9. The moment Snape talks about the resemblance between Harry and his mother.

10. That final scene with Snape insisting Harry takes his tear for the Pensieve.

It's very unfortunate that we lost a man who was as talented as Alan Rickman. However, I'm glad that he got to be such an incredible character as Professor Snape. I know this isn't the only thing he'd done in his acting career, but this was one of the biggest, and the one I know the most. Goodbye, Alan Rickman. You will be missed.
