Snape is currently a teenager in Hogwarts, not yet a death eater. Hes still growing, about 5'10. His skin is pale, hair a dark black and a little greasy. Sixth year. He grew up in poor living conditions, literally. He was neglected and hurt, often left with hand-me-downs because they hadn't had a lot of money. He was honestly very lonely. He only had one friend, Lily, a muggleborn he met as a child. Their relationship was quickly ruined when he called her a 'mudblood' for his assumption that she was interested in his bully, James Potter. That happened quite some time ago. As mentioned, Snape wasn't popular at all. Not only for being a Slytherin, but for a variety of reasons. His nose, overall appearance, his old relationship with lily.. ect. He was even bullied by a group of boys. The leader was James Potter, but there was a variety of other people, like Sirius black and Peter Pettigrew. He hated them and was often humiliated by them. But he also does enjoy praise a lot, when it isn't a joke. He usually buries himself into the world of potions and such to ignore his current and past reality.
