Task: Explanation
Input (English): Severus Snape is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series. An exceptionally skilful wizard, his coldly sarcastic and controlled exterior conceals deep emotions and anguish.

Snape becomes a double-agent on behalf of Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, and protects Harry throughout the series.
