The love life of Severus Snape according to Harry J. Potter:
āHe pushed the door ajar and peered insideāand a horrible scene met his eyes. Snape and Filch were inside, alone. Snape was holding his robes above his knees.ā
āNow, I donāt want any of you youngsters to worryāyouāll still have your Potions master when Iām through with him, never fear!ā
āWouldnāt it be great if they finished each other off?ā Ron muttered in Harryās ear
āWas he imagining it, or were Snapeās eyes flickering toward Lupin more often than was natural?ā
āI want to talk now, while you canāt slip off, Severus. Youāve been avoiding me.ā
āTell me, how is Lucius Malfoy these days? I expect heās delighted his lapdogās working at Hogwarts.ā
āSirius pushed his chair roughly and stride around the table toward Snape, pulling out his wand as he went; Snape whipped out his own.ā
āSnape!ā ejaculated Slughorn.
āI prefer not to put all of my secrets in one basket, particularly not a basket that spends so much tile dangling on the arm of Lord Voldemort.ā
āSnapeās Patronus was a doe,ā said Harry, āthe same as my motherās because he loved her for nearly all of his life, from the time when they were children.ā
āHe desired her, that was all,ā sneered Voldemort, but when she was gone he agreed that there were other women, and of purer blood, worthier of himāā
