Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling felt very sorry that she had to kill off Professor Severus Snape. Played by the late Alan Rickman, Snape is a fan-favorite figure despite his stance as an anti-hero and a morally grey persona.

7. Pansy Parkinson
For some who adds absolutely no value to the story, Pansy Parkinson has way too many mentions. Her only point is to be the insufferable person whose most notable achievement is trying to surrender Harry to Voldemort in The Deathly Hallows.
Pansy feels like a character that once had a purpose but then was randomly discarded.
6. Rolanda Hooch
Madam Hooch is one of the Hogwarts teachers, but she’s… Useless. She’s only there to give first-year students one lesson but still manages to mess it up: she can neither save a falling kid nor prevent problems in her class. What a waste of salary — even Lockhart had some actual classes and took part in important discussions!
5. Gregory Goyle
Just like his fellow buffoon Crabb, Goyle is Draco Malfoy’s sidekick with zero personality other than being dumb and following orders. But Crabb at least gets to destroy a Horcrux,...

Jk Rowling has shared the conversation she had with actor Alan Rickman, when she revealed to him the true complications of his character in the Harry Potter movies.
Rickman played Severus Snape, Harry’s teacher and apparent tormentor who eventually turns out to be working for good forces, including protecting Harry against the likes of Voldermort and his acolytes.
Rowling has recorded an interview for her website, answering fans’ questions about her writing process, with a preview transcribed in today’s Times of London. In it, she describes how Rickman was confused about the motivations of his character before she explained them to him. She revealed:
“He rang me up and said, ‘Look, I’m spinning plates here. I really need to understand what Snape’s up to? Am I a pure baddie?’ He was the only person I told: ‘You were in love with Harry’s mother.’

The Marauders used to be a close group of friends at Hogwarts, but, as the saying goes, one of them was not like the others. Peter Pettigrew ruined the lives of all his friends by betraying them, and we rightfully despise him for it. But what’s interesting is that in the end, some tiny bit of the Marauder woke up in him — and just like his three ex-friends, he sacrificed himself so that Harry Potter could live.
So until the end, those four people still had something in common, as unlikely as it is.
James, Sirius, and Remus Willingly Died for Harry
The sacrifice is much more obvious with the three other Marauders, so we’ll start with them. James Potter and his wife Lily both sacrificed themselves to save their baby son; while Lily died because she didn’t want to live in the world where she stepped aside,...
