Severus Snape is one of the most complicated and debated characters in the Harry Potter series. An exploration of his youth as a student of Hogwarts belonging to the Slytherin House, his relationship with Lily Potter, his complicated relationship with James Potter, and his journey of becoming a part of the Death Eaters could be a great plot line for a sequel spin-off movie. Though the books have deeply delved into the complications and multifacetedness of his character, the movies barely gave his character justice.
