January 9, 1960 is the birthday of Severus Snape — potions master, Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and double agent whose true loyalties are not revealed until the final pages of the series. Born to a Muggle father and a witch mother, Snape grew up in poverty and found his first real friend in Lily Evans, whose memory he would protect, secretly, for the rest of his life.
