While the Harry Potter series may follow the journey of the Boy Who Lived, if you want to know the whole story, keep your eyes fixed on Severus Snape. This greasy-haired, grumpy genius, one of J. K. Rowling's most enduring gifts to English literature, is the archetypal ill-tempered teacher: demanding, acerbic, and impossible to ignore. Over the span of seven novels, Snape's remarkable role in the series can be hard to parse: Where do his true allegiances lie? Can a former Death Eater change his spots? Why does he seem to loathe the boy he's pledged to protect?

Taking an analytical approach to Hogwarts's irascible, protective Potions professor, author Lorrie Kim presents a closer look at how Dumbledore's double agent operates behind the scenes throughout the Harry Potter series. By examining the story from Snape's point of view, this in-depth exploration pierces the defenses of the wizarding world's famed Occlumens, revealing the man for who he truly is: one of pop culture's most memorable heroes.

This book put serveras snape in a new light for me, although I already knew a bit about him. I learned so much from this audio edition of the essay

I think it really described snape well.

The Harry Potter books are almost always from the perspective of Harry Potter, yet sometimes the story is from the Snape angle, such as when Snape made an oath to protect Draco. This is a unique reveal of the character of Snape as someone who does no wrong, but killing Dumbledore was an act of evil. This book promotes the idea of a necessary evil to bring forth good, but this philosophy is flawed, because then any war is justified to bring peace. Only God through Christ can save us from these erroneous ideas.

This book basically reads every scene which includes Snape from every book in the Harry Potter franchise. Very little back story given and very little added. I really struggled to get to the end of this.
The accents through the audiobook are a disaster.

Not what I thought it would be
