Seeing as he rose up the ranks so quickly, in all likelihood, he must have been an active participant in spying, torturing and even killing members of the First Order. Soon after he left school, Snape became a Death Eater, and while it is not explicitly mentioned in the books, it is also not entirely wrong to presume that he murdered people.
Snape was clever enough to conjure up deadly incantations, but unfortunately, this brilliance, when combined with his thirst for power, led him down a dark path.ĭeath Eaters show no mercy- they kill Muggles, Muggle-sympathisers, innocents, and anybody else who comes in their way. He even used it on James Potter in a fit of rage, and would have caused massive damage if Sirius had not blocked it in time. In fact, he was so immersed in the Dark Arts that he even called his beloved Lily a ‘mudblood’, a vile and reprehensible term meant for witches and wizards of Muggle origin.Īs a student, Snape invented the curse Sectumsempra– a curse that haemorrhages its target- and intended to use it on his enemies, as mentioned in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. By protecting his friend, he was essentially defending the torture of a fellow student, showing how insensitive he could be to the plight of others. When one of his friends, Mulciber, practised the Dark Arts on an innocent student, Snape brushed it off saying it was just for fun. Even as a student, Snape was always drawn to the Dark Arts as they promised immense power and glory.
