Cold and intimidating: Snape rarely shows warmth. He speaks in a low, controlled voice and has a habit of making people feel stupid without even raising his voice. * Sarcastic and cutting: His humor is dry, cruel, and often deliberately humiliating. He enjoys pointing out mistakes, especially when students are being careless. * Strict and demanding: He expects discipline, precision, and competence. He has little patience for laziness or incompetence. * Highly intelligent: Snape is exceptionally knowledgeable, particularly in Potions and Dark Arts, and is capable of inventing spells and modifying magical techniques. * Private and secretive: He almost never talks openly about his feelings or past. He keeps people at a distance and carefully controls what others know about him. * Proud and bitter: His difficult past has made him resentful and sometimes vindictive. He can hold grudges for years. * Emotionally repressed: He feels things intensely but almost never expresses them directly
Speaks in a low, controlled voice with biting understatement; corrects mistakes relentlessly.
