Who was Severus Snape loyal to?
Severus Snape was loyal to Lord Voldemort until 1980 when Lily Evans' life was threatened. He then switched sides and was loyal to Albus Dumbledore until his death in 1998.
Who does Harry Potter have conflict with?
Voldemort and his Death Eaters. He used to hate Severus Snape before discovering he was on the good side. He used to hate the Malfoy's before they changed sides and before Narcissa saved his life.
Is Severus Snape a Death Eater in 'Harry Potter'?
Not really. Severus Snape joined the Death Eaters out of school. When he learned that Voldemort was going to kill the only woman he ever loved, Lily (Evans) Potter, he changed sides. Snape promised Dumbledore that he would convince Voldemort he was spying on the Order of the Phoenix for the Death Eaters. Really, he was spying on the Death Eaters for the Order and only passing selected information to the Death Eaters.
Is there a death eater for each Harry Potter book?
They don't use this word before the fourth book, but of course Lucius Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape (who appear in books 1-3) are indeed Death-Eaters. (Severus Snape was a death eater, then changed sides.)
Did Severus Snape like Harry Potter in the end?
Yes, he is. It is revealed in the final book that he loved Lily Potter for most of his life and because of this love, which Voldemort never understood, he worked as a spy for Dumbledore and helped protect Harry. The act of killing Dumbledore was planned months before the actual event. Dumbledore was going to die within a year or so because he put on Marvolo Gaunt's ring (it was actually the Resurrection Stone, part of the Deathly Hallows) which had a terrible curse on it, which explains why his hand is black and looks dead in the sixth book. Snape is killed by Voldemort in the final book, but before he dies, he is able to give Harry his memories in accord with Dumbledore's instructions. It is through these memories that we realize that Snape is in fact a good guy. Harry later names his second son, Albus Severus. Harry tells his son in the final pages of the book that Snape was probably the bravest man that he ever knew.
Which Defense against the Dark Arts teacher was a follower of Voldemort?
Quirinus Quirrel and Amycus Carrow (who really only taught Dark Arts). Severus Snape was one of Lord Voldemort's followers at one point but he switched sides and became a double, double agent and was working for the Order when he taught Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Is professor sanpe is working with bellatrix in Harry Potter?
No, they work on opposite sides. Bellatrix Lestrange works for Voldemort, Snape works for Dumbledore / for the Order of the Phoenix, that is, for the anti-Voldemort movement.
Does the Order of the Phoenix know that Snape is working for Voldemort under the disguise of a Death Eater?
No, only Dumbledore knew this until Harry watched his memories. Many questioned why Dumbledore trusted Snape because they didn't know. Severus Snape was a member of Voldemort Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War, however after accidently making Lily Potter (the woman Snape is in love with and Harry Potter's mother) Voldemort's target, he switches sides. He works as a Double Agent for the Order of the Phoenix after asking Albus Dumbledore to protect the Potters. All the information he gives the Death Eaters are things Dumbledore has told him to tell. He of course tells the Order everything the Death Eaters are doing.
What if Harry Potter was in Slytherin?
Yes. Severus Snape was bullied by James Potter and his friends who despised Snape and his friends for bullying muggle-born students. James later joined the Order while Snape became a death eater making them enemies who fought for different sides in the war. James also married Lily Evans, the girl that Snape always loved.
Was Snape always on Voldemorts side?
No, he was a follower at first, then he quit. He is a triple agent. Everyone thinks he is on Dumbledore's side but voldemort thinks he is on his side but he really is on Dumbledore's side. He was a die hard Death Eater at first but he was in love with Harry's mom and after Voldemort killed her and Harry's dad then he joined Dumbledore to do right what he had done by looking after her son but he act as though he hates Harry because Harry looks like his dad and his dad and Snape were enemies at school.
Is Severus Snape a bad guy?
In the end we discover that Severus Snape is a good guy who is working along side the Order of the Phoneix. For the most part of the Harry Potter series, Snape is seen as a horrible man who hates Harry only because of an old grudge with Harry's father and two of his father's friends and because Severus loved only one woman in his life, Lily Evans, who was Harry's mother. Everytime he saw Harry it was a reminder that he lost out because of a silly mistake and now the woman he loved was dead. Snape and Lily met when they were children and were best friends until their years at Hogwarts, when they were separated into different Houses. Snape was already making Death Eater friends by the time he was in third year. This angered Lily because they were cruel to others, including her friends. However Snape was also bullied and one day Lily stood up for him when James and Sirius were embarrassing him. Snape then shouted that he didn't need help from a mud-blood and Lily never spoke to him again. When Harry came to Hogwarts, Snape immediately did not like him due to the memories he had of James tormenting him because Harry looks just like his father. However Snape ad promised Dumbledore he would help protect the child of someone he loved - he just didn't have to show he was doing it or like what he was doing. Harry's thoughts on Snape become very confused during his years at Hogwarts. Snape was always unmerciful and cruel towards Harry, but then again Snape had saved Harry once from falling from his broom at a Quidditch match. It is discovered that Snape was playing a double agent role between the sides of Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort, although until the seventh book, no one truly knows what side he is on. Snape passed information from the Order onto the Death Eaters but only information which Dumbledore told him to pass on. Snape was truly on the side of the Order but pretended that he was a Death Eater to find out information which he then passed onto the Order - of course to be acquainted with Dumbledore and not arouse suspicion he had to pretend to the Death Eaters that he was spying on the Order for them. He was told by Dumbledore to kill him so that the Elder Wand wouldn't belong to anybody. However, Voldemort thinks Snape owns it and so kills him to become the true master. Snape gives Harry his memories explaining the missing parts of the story and then tells Harry to look into his eyes so that the last thing he saw before he died was Lily Evans eyes. Later in life Harry named one of his children Albus Severus after the two bravest people he ever knew.
