Severus Snape Song
Shane Blair
[Verse 1]
When I was a boy, a student at Hogwarts
I paid attention to my studies not Quidditch or sports
And then a boy James Potter always picked on me
Playing games and calling names like Snivellus Snape
Years later became a teacher, master of the dark arts
And I learned of James's death killed by Lord Voldemort
Also killed Potter's wife her name was Lilly
Only one to survive was their child named Harry
To protect this place, he's Severus Snape

[Verse 2]
They said he's the chosen one, eventually in my class
Chosen by Gryffindor he was a pain in my ass
He famous for surviving the spell for killing
But clearly fame isn't everything

[Chorus]
Professor Severus Snape, with his long black cape
Head of Slytherin, house of the snake
And half blood prince Professor of defense
Potions master at Hogwarts
He's not a pleasant man, and he seems like he's bad
Picking on Harry Potter in front of the class and
Though they debate, he would do what it takes
To protect this place, he's Severus Snape
[Verse 3]
Dumbledore and Mcgonagall were fond of Harry
Plus he had his friends, Hermione and Ron Weasley
Still there were some that didn't like him like me
There was Lucius and his son Draco Malfoy
However I'll admit things started to get weird
Ever since Harry Potter started attending class here
Professor Quirrell let in a Troll at Halloween, never trusted him again
Then at the Quidditch game
Harry's broom was bewitched, it was Quirrell I could see
And I muttered a counter spell but his friends thought it was me
They set fire to my cloak, but his concentration broke
And Harry ended up catching the Snitch and winning the Game
A while later we found he was helping the Dark Lord
Living off of Quirrell's body and the blood of Unicorn's
Trying to get the Sorcerer's Stone and get back a body of his own
Quirrell's death only slowed down Voldemort
Me and Lockhart had to teach the students
Defense against the dark arts
Once the Chamber of Secrets was Opened
Finding petrified children
Caused by a Basilisk
Harry found the diary of Tom Riddle
Who was Voldemort, back when he was little
Helped him find the Chamber right in the middle of the school
Entered like a fool
But he slayed the Basilisk and I guess that's kinda cool
A while later Sirius Black a prisoner of Azkaban
Escaped across the land
He's a bad man
Dementors from the prison circling the school
Looking for this fool this isn't cool
We must be careful
A few changes were made to the staff
Hagrid is a teacher now and Dumbledore got a new hat
Also Professor Lupin using Boggarts in his studies
Which is quite Riddikulus, if you think about that
Lupin's missing classes, wondering where his ass is
Just so happens to be when Sirius Black is soon to attack and
Even though I'd prefer to walk out the door
Turn to page 394
[Verse 4]
Professor Severus Snape, with his long black cape
Head of Slytherin, house of the snake
And half blood prince Professor of defense
Potions master at Hogwarts
He's not a pleasant man, and he seems like he's bad
Picking on Harry Potter in front of the class
And though they debate, he would do what it takes
To protect this place, he's Severus Snape
Harry found a magic map that showed Peter Pettigrew
Pettigrew died years ago or so we know
Followed Lupin into a tree and it appeared to me that he had been helping Sirius Black lately

[Verse 5]
Through some discussion we realize Black was framed
It was Ron's ran Scabbers who followed he who shall not be named
Pettigrew was an Animagus and hiding for 12 years
But then Lupin saw the moon, into a Werewolf he changed
Pettigrew got away and after many days
The Tri-Wizard tournament started and students placed their names
Into the Goblet Of Fire and then started the race
Under water, facing dragons, then into a giant Maze
I noticed someone was stealing from my potion store
To make Polyjuice potion in order to transform
Didn't know who it was and I had no more
But back to the tournament Harry is Leading the score
He heads into the Maze with Cedric Diggory
And then he see's the cup it's a Port Key
Takes them to a place with Pettigrew, he killed Diggory
Traps Harry, had a ceremony, and he brought back the Dark Lord
Harry got away barely with the Port Key
Brought him back to the game and we all see
Harry is taken by Mad-Eye Moody
He tried to kill him and when we realized he started changing
Barty Crouch Jr was the one stealing from me
And he assumed the identity of Moody
After time went by we began training
To prevent Voldemort from controlling Harry
While he's protected by the Order Of The Phoenix
Dumbledore has a plan for me to be a double agent
Wants me to kill him to gain Voldemorts trust
Protect Harry from within, so I'll do what I must
Entangled with the Deatheaters, Bellatrix The Strange
And Lucius Malfoy planning on having Draco do the same
When the time came in the tower everbody saw
The unforgivable curse Avada-Kadavra
And through Dumbledore's secret plan
I've lost all of my good friends
Surrounded by evil people capable of so much death
Giving Harry time to destroy Horcruxes
While the Dark Lord weakens
War breaks out and they defend from enemy forces
Voldemort believes that the Elder Wand serves me
I'm attacked by his snake Nagini
I am dying, Harry finds me and I let him see
He saw the plan and the day
His parents were taken away
His mother Lilly and that I loved her
Always
[Chorus]
Professor Severus Snape, with his long black cape
Head of Slytherin, house of the snake
And half blood prince Professor of defense potions master at Hogwarts
He's not a pleasant man, and he seems like he's bad
Picking on Harry Potter in front of the class and
Though they debate, he would do what it takes
To protect this place, he's Severus Snape
