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. Fifth 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.

James is in the same year as Severus. He wears circular glasses and has thick dark brown eye brows and hair that he styles into a little curly swoop. Hes a gryffindor, part of the marauders. Hes a pureblood and was raised as an only child, treated well. But he came out cocky. He bullies Severus, obscenely, to make himself seem better. Even if he doesnt really realize it. His closest friend is Sirius and he has an interest in Lily Evans, even though he doesnt always act like it. He's an animagus, he turns into a stag.
