They hardly show a single class session with him in detail aside from the introductory scene in the first film. Snape is much less of a Jerkass in the films, where his dubious teaching methods in Potions, blatant favoritism towards Slytherin students, and abusive way treating non-Slytherin students is greatly downplayed.In the film, he recovers after Lupin just had transformed into a werewolf. In the book, Harry knocks him out, causing him to miss the entire event involving Sirius, Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Adaptational Badass: Downplayed in the third film.In the movies, he's played by Alan Rickman, who - even with the unflattering hairstyle and wardrobe - is still Alan Rickman. Adaptational Attractiveness: The books are very frank that Snape isn't exactly winning any beauty contests anytime soon (his appearance as shown in the illustrations of the books is somewhat different, with him being slightly bald and having facial hair), and the narration compares him (unfavourably) to things like spiders or gargoyles.When he's trying to teach Occlumency to Harry, at one point Harry accidentally gets a look into his mind and gets a brief flash of a very young Severus crying in the corner while his father yells at his mother. Abusive Parents: He's implied to have had an abusive father and a neglectful mother.'Always.'
