(Best rankings: #5 in SNILY and #12 in LILY) Severus Snape is a skilled wizard, a decent human being and a good friend. True, he may have his issues and he may struggle with the whole emotions business at times, but Severus had a crowd of people he knew he could rely on in times of crisis. Unfortunately for him and the Wizarding World as a whole, times of crisis weren't far away.
