Alan Rickman

Alan Rickman, the actor who played plenty of amazing roles in his life was known by his friends as somebody who was of kind heart. One of the most memorable roles he played before he died was the role of Severus Snape, a potion master teach in Hogwartz school (Harry Potter).



I also remember him from a movie Love Actually:



What I find most interesting about him is that he refused to tell his loved one that he was sick and slowly dying of an illness. It made everyone shocked but he wanted to save his loved ones from worrying about him all the time and struglying to save him when there was no salvation.

Thoughts on him?

I thought he did a very good job of playing the potions master Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series. For the whole series, you don't know if he's a good guy or a bad buy until you get to the very end.

I thought it sad when he passed away.

I read books first so I almost knew but at that time the last book was not published yet. However, I did finish books before movies and I knew.

I spent the whole series going back and forth trying to decide if he was a good guy or a bad guy.

I think that character is one of the more complex characters in literature.

It really is hard to figure him out because he had in a way traumatic childhood. That's not presented in the movies but his father was garbage, a muggle. That shaped his character.
