==Powers and Stats==

Name: Severus Snape, The Half-Blood Prince.
Origin: Wizarding World
Gender: Male
Age: 38 at the time of his death
Classification: Human, Wizard
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Magic, Genius Intelligence, Teleportation, Transmutation (Highly skilled at Transfiguration), Telepathy via Legilimency (Snape can read thoughts, and has attacked Harry's mind as part of his training in Occlumency. He can apply this to combat via reading a target's mind to discern their future actions based on their thoughts, as shown when he was able to predict what spells Harry Potter would attempt to attack him with), Curse Manipulation (Knows the Unforgivable Curses and has invented a few himself. Knew more curses when he arrived at Hogwarts than half the kids in Seventh Year), Summoning (Can conjure a Patronus), Forcefield Creation, Matter Manipulation, Excellent at potion making, Durability Negation, Status Effect Inducement (With a variety of spells and potions), Healing (Partially healed Dumbledore's hand after being cursed by Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, saved Katie Bell from a cursed necklace, and healed Draco's wounds from the effects of Sectumsempra), Resistance to Mind Reading and Mental Attacks via Occlumency (A master of Occlumency, he blocked Voldemort's influence for several years and acted as a double agent the whole time. He has been implied to be able to resist the Imperius Curse and even the effects of Veritaserum), Flight, Telekinesis, Death Manipulation (via Avada Kedavra)
Attack Potency: Wall level physically. Building level with magic (One of the most powerful and respected Death Eaters, feared by the likes of Dolohov and Yaxley, and should be comparable to Bellatrix Lestrange. Effortlessly stomped Harry in a duel. Duelled Minerva McGonagall, who was capable of fighting Voldemort alongside Kingsley Shacklebolt and Horace Slughorn, while holding back and fought capably but then fled after the interference of Flitwick, Sprout and Slughorn). Some spells also ignore conventional durability.
Speed: Athletic Human with Subsonic reactions (Arguably faster than Harry Potter and beat him to the draw) and flight speed, Speed of Light attack speed via Lumos Solem (Lumos Solem is a charm that creates a blinding flash of sunlight used to defend against the Devil's Snare. Snape should know this spell, as it’s implied to be taught in basic herbology to defend against the Devil's Snare and advanced charms class, and first years like Hermione have showcased this spell)
Lifting Strength: Athletic Human by himself (Was able to lift a 15 year old Harry Potter. Should be comparable to other wizards). Class 5 with spells (Comparable, if not superior, to Ron Weasley. Sent Harry Potter flying backwards effortlessly).
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Comparable to Harry Potter) physically. Large Building level, likely higher with magical shielding (Should be comparable to Mad-Eye Moody, who was capable of creating defences Voldemort himself couldn't penetrate)
Stamina: Unknown
Range: Tens of Metres
Standard Equipment: Wand
Intelligence: Genius. Snape is considered even by Voldemort to be an exceptional wizard. As a child, he was known to be an unusually gifted student, with Sirius Black claiming that he knew more curses in his first year than many of the 7th year students in Hogwarts, and his magical prowess was so great as a teenager that his bully and rival, James Potter would never have taken him on in a one on one fight unless he was backed up by his 3 friends. Snape was highly skilled in practically all branches of magic, but he had a specialty for the Dark Arts and has created many useful spells used by the Death Eaters and sometimes even by his rivals. He was also a highly skilled potioneer, and has altered potion formulas so that it would be easier and more efficient to produce them. His instructions for making potions enabled Harry, who was a mediocre potion student, to surpass even Hermione Granger in potions. Additionally, he was highly skilled at espionage, and alongside his considerable talents in Occlumency, managed to spy on the Death Eaters without ever drawing suspicion even from Voldemort himself.
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Sectumsempra: A rather dangerous curse, created by Snape himself, when the incantation is uttered its effect is the equivalent of an invisible sword; it is used to slash the victim from a distance, causing rather deep wounds. The slash follows the user's wand movements. Due to the depths of the cut, the victims run the risk of dying from blood loss if treatment is not applied in time, if the wounds are not instantly fatal.
*Vulnera Sanentur: A healing spell that can heal someone who is even hit by sectumsempra. For the maximum effect of the spell, the incantation had to be repeated thrice; firstly slowing the flow of blood to prevent death by exsanguination; the second to clear residue and begin to heal the wounds; and the third to fully knit the wounds, although dittany had to be applied to prevent scarring.
*Avada Kedavra: The Killing Curse is a tool of the Dark Arts and one of the three Unforgivable Curses. It is one of the most powerful and sinister spells known to wizardkind. When cast successfully on a living person or creature, the curse causes instantaneous death.
*Many other spells, potions, charms and curses.
