==History==
As Headmaster of the school during the 1997–1998 school year, Severus Snape had the right to have his portrait hung posthumously in the Headmaster's office; however, since he appeared to have abandoned his post, it didn't automatically appear there following his death.Harry Potter revealed Snape's true intentions and motives shortly before Tom Riddle's death, and was instrumental in ensuring that the portrait found its rightful place among the school's previous Headmasters;JK Rowling Deathly Hallows Web Chat: "J.K. Rowling: However, I like to think that Harry would be instrumental in ensuring that Snape’s portrait would appear there in due course." following a private conversation with Harry, Headmistress McGonagall took the decision to add Snape's portrait to the gallery, which was met with some controversy., Chapter 1 (Minerva McGonagall)
