What does Alan Rickman say about his character Severus Snape?

Alan thinks that Snape is a strange character because of how you don't quite know how he feels. Snape doesn't like Harry but he does save his life, and doesn't ever reveal too much about his feelings.


Why does Harry Potter hate Severus Snape?

Because Snape hates him! or at least it seems that way. There are many examples of Snape going out of his way to make things hard on Harry, he subtley makes fun of him and his friends (the worst one, in my opinion, was when Hermione's teeth gets cursed to grow 10 times their normal size and when Snape is notified says "I don't know, she looks the same to me.") , and he takes points from griffindore for seemingly no reason-- I would hate him too! Another reason is that his father had a long going rivalry with Snape when they were in school together, though rivalry may not be the right word. James was popular, Snape wasnt and was often picked on by James. Harry finds out about this in the 5th book but still cant seem to trust Snape.

Did Ginny knew that Harry Potter already like her?

I think you mean "Did Ginny know that Harry Potter liked her?" And you would have to ask J.K.


Why did Hermione say she had been sort of right about the half blood prince?

After Harry had used the Sectumsempra spell (Which he found in the Half-Blood Prince's book) Hermione says " I 'm not going to say I told you so " because she had said that the book could be dangerous. And it was: the Sectumsempra spell caused Draco to have slashes across his body and he bled- a lot. It caused Harry to have detention every Saturday for a month (Or something like that) as well.( I am actually Dobby trying to help Muggles, like you, to understand the books of Harry Potter. Farewell to you! )

Was snape the one who saved Harry potter With his patronus?

Kind of. Snape uses his patronus to lure Harry to the place where he has hidden the Sword in frozen lake. Harry almost dies when he tries to get it, but Ron helps Harry out of the water. Dumbledore (the painting) has asked Snape to make it hard for Harry -- he most certainly does so. If you are talking about the scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. If not then I don't know what scene you are talking about.

Does Harry speak with Snape before his death in Deathly Hallows film?

We won't know until July, I am afraid. In the book, he does. However Snape's death scene has been altered to make it 'more dramatic' as many fans believed his death in the book was rather anticlimatic. It is not very clear whether Harry is present during the death, but I think to cut out the section between Harry and Snape would be a great shame, as it speaks a lot about Snape's feelings towards Harry, and Harry also has to obtain Snape's memories to see the full truth.

Do you think Severus Snape wanted to be the father of Harry I know James is Harry's biological dad but do you think Snape wanted to be his dad?

Snap loved Lily, and probably wanted to marry her and have a baby with her someday, if James didn't. But if they did have a child, it would be a completely different person. When Snape first met Harry, he thought that he resembled his father, who he hated. But towards the end, you find out that he had protected Harry many times; which probably meant that he did want to be Harr's father.
