It is unknown what happened to the wand after Severus's death, although it is possible it was buried along with Snape's body, which is common practice in the wizarding world. He takes an instant dislike to Harry, which Quirrell later reveals is due to the fact that Snape and Harry’s father, James, hated each other when they attended Hogwarts together. Snape has a hooked nose, greasy black hair, and sallow skin.

He also duelled Harry in his escape from Hogwarts, deflecting and anticipating all of the opponent's moves. Professor Snape is the Potions teacher at Hogwarts and Head of Slytherin House. In 1997, Snape reluctantly killed Albus Dumbledore, casting the Killing Curse with this very wand, in a previous arrangement to spare Dumbledore a terminal condition that would have brought a more painful death. ĭuring 1996, Snape used his wand to perform Legilimency on Harry Potter as a means to teach him Occlumency, as well as to extract his own memories into the Hogwarts Pensieve beforehand. He then used it to reveal Scabbers as Peter Pettigrew. In 1994, Sirius Black took this wand after Harry, Ron, and Hermione disarmed Snape in the Shrieking Shack. Īs a Hogwarts professor, he participated as Gilderoy Lockhart's 'helper' in his Duelling Club in 1992, disarming him in front of several students and disintegrating a snake conjured by Draco Malfoy to attack Harry Potter. This wand was possibly bought by Severus Snape at age eleven, probably from Ollivander's Wand Shop, before he started his first year of magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1971.ĭuring his years as Hogwarts student, he became an incredibly skilful and powerful wizard, managing to create several spells of his own invention, many of which were dark charms, such as the highly dangerous curse Sectumsempra.
