Severus Snape is sort of like a villain in the Harry Potter universe but in the end he is not. He is cold, aloof, sarcastic and bitter especially toward Harry because Harry’s father James used to bully Snape when they were young. As a result, Snape grew up with bitterness in his heart. Severus Snape is a professor at Hogwarts who at the final chapter became Headmaster. Bellatrix Lestrange is a witch who is a villain in the world of Harry Potter.
