Literature - Fantasy - Harry Potter - Patronus - Severus Snape
What form does Severus Snape’s Patronus take?
Correct!
Severus Snape’s Patronus takes the form of a doe. This form is closely connected with his lifelong love for Lily Potter, whose Patronus was also a doe. When Albus Dumbledore realizes that Severus Snape still has the same feelings for Lily years after her death, Snape responds in one of the series’ best-known moments. It is also interesting that James Potter’s Patronus was a stag, the male counterpart to a doe.
Snape’s Patronus shows how strongly personal memories and relationships can shape a Patronus’s form. The doe connects him with Lily Potter, while James Potter’s stag is its male counterpart.
