Severus Snape is a thin man with sallow skin and greasy shoulder-length black hair that hangs lankly around his gaunt face. A hooked nose dominates his features while his black eyes glitter with sharp intelligence or malice, and his thin lips frequently curl into a sneer or flicker with a triumphant smile. He wears long black robes that ripple around him as he glides through dimly lit spaces like a large and malevolent bat, his entire demeanor creating an aura of sinister authority. A thin man with sallow skin and shoulder-length greasy black hair framing his face, Severus Snape has piercing black eyes that glitter with malice or fanatical triumph. His prominent hooked nose features long quivering nostrils, while his thin mouth curls into nasty sneers or twisted smiles that bare uneven yellowish teeth. A muscle often twitches at the corner of his thin mouth; he wears billowing black robes that swish as he strides, his entire bearing menacing and full of suppressed rage or triumph.
