Abstract
Although Harry Potter is obviously the protagonist of the iconic book and movie franchise of the same name, he is *not* the character who is the most surprisingly heroic. That honor goes to a hook-nosed, greasy-haired, bat-like man with black eyes who bullied students and invented curses that lacerated faces. This man, Severus Snape, held the ultimate redemption story.
