Since the very beginning, Severus Snape has always known exactly what he needs to do. No matter what's happening or who is employing him, there is always a magical fix to the dilemma at hand. However, he also represents more of an obstacle to Voldemort than an ally, though he isn't always sure of it.

Snape, however, is an antagonist to Harry. He makes his life difficult at every turn, mostly because he hates his father. He captures Sirius Black and tries to have his soul sucked out because of an old grudge. Snape's plans usually work out, but his power as a Harry Potter villain is tempered by his divided loyalties.
