相信所有哈利迷都不会忘记斯内普教授死的那一刻，以及之后哈利波特用他留下的眼泪在回忆池里，和所有的读者观众一起，回顾斯内普的一生的那一幕幕。多少人是和哈利一样，直到那一刻，才顿悟了到这个看似腹黑，阴沉，但实际又深情，负责的男人，是如何隐藏他对Lily一生的爱，默默关心帮助着哈利。让人难以释怀的是，他还从不为自己解释，让我们所有人和哈利一样，从第一本就开始误会他讨厌他，直到最后他离开后，J.K罗琳才让我们从他的那滴眼泪，读懂这个复杂的男人。
没想到，这么突然，现实中的斯内普教授，今天也走了。“扮演斯内普教授的演员Alan Rickman身患癌症去世了... 享年69岁..... 他的家人刚刚确认了这个消息。”相信这让很多包括小编在内的哈利波特迷一时间难以接受，真的太意外了。
为了悼念这位伟大的演员，还有我们每个人心中的斯内普教授，我们一起用照片，来回顾这位伟大演员的一生吧。
Alan Rickman began his film career as Tybalt in a BBC adaptation of Romeo and Juliet in 1978.
In 1982, Rickman appeared in another BBC dramatisation, The Barchester Chronicles, as Obadiah Slope, alongside Janet Maw. The cast also included Donald Pleasence, Nigel Hawthorne and Susan Hampshire.
More television appearances followed - but, in 1988, he shot to fame as the villain in Die Hard. His portrayal of Hans Gruber opposite Bruce Willis' first appearance as New York cop John McClane was a role he would never shake off, and he became seen as the perfect actor to portray the screen villain.
He showed his gentler side in films such as 1990s Truly Madly Deeply, when he starred as a ghost, alongside Juliet Stevenson playing a woman mourning the loss of her partner. He was nominated for a Bafta.
A year later, though, he was back in the role of the villain, as the Sherriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, for which he won a Bafta. He is seen here with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio who played Maid Marian, with his main adversary, Robin Hood, played by Kevin Costner.
He starred with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet (not pictured) in the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility.
In 1996 he won a Golden Globe for best actor in a miniseries or television film for the title role in Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny in which he starred with Greta Scacchi.
The London-born actor began his career in theatre and was a regular on the stage, seen here with Helen Mirren during a photo-call rehearsal for Antony and Cleopatra at the Olivier Theatre on London's South Bank.
He took to the stars in Galaxy Quest, in 1999, alongside Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver.
But it was his role as Prof Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films that made him one of Britain's best-loved actors and brought him to the attention of another generation of filmgoers.
