Question
Was Severus Snape a hero?
Position‹2 of 2

Severus Snape was not a hero

He was a bully of a teacher to all of his students. (Except Slytherins) He also joined the Death Eaters when he was younger. A true hero wouldn't do either of those things. Even if Snape did some good things, a true hero wouldn't have been that cruel.
