The 16 Most Iconic Professor Snape Moments
Nerdist

Alan Rickman, an incredible actor who is most well-known for his role as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series, died on Thursday at the age of 69. Here are some of Rickman's most iconic Professor Snape moments that really proved that both Snape and the Harry Potter series are always in our hearts.

1. When he first introduces Harry in his usual condescending tone.

"Mr. Potter. Our new celebrity."

2. When he Iconically says to "turn to page 394."

3. Any time Snape whacked Ron or Harry on the head.

Every single time.

4. When he throws the moonlight pun on Lupin during the Marauder's Map night scene.

"Well, well. Out for a little walk in the moonlight, are we?"

5. When Snape physically shielded Ron, Harry and Hermione from Lupin as he changes into a werewolf.

6. When Umbridge questions Snape about failing to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, and he responds with unparalleled sass.

7. When he yells at Harry and Ron for the flying car Incident.

"I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight!"

8. When he accuses Harry of stealing from him to make polyjuice potion.

9. When he deflects McGonagall's attack and you see the sadness in his eyes for being in that position.

10. When he brings to Harry's attention how life isn't fair.

He lived an incredibly lonely life, yet always for the good of others.

11. When he was tired of Hermione's bull crap.

12. When he refuses to injure Harry when Harry tries to attack him for Dumbledore's death.

13. When Snape led Harry to the sword of Gryffindor.

His Patronus was a doe. So was Lily's. I'm holding back tears.

14. When he urges Harry to take his tears to the Pensieve to understand everything.

15. When he sees Lily in Harry during his last breath.

16. Literally the entire flashback scene when Harry realizes Snape's bravery and the love he had for his mother.

Alan Rickman brought to life the beloved Snape who everyone wept for and saw as arguably the most important character of the series. He will live on for always in our hearts and in our marathons.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
