Severus Snape dies at the hands of Lord Voldemort's snake, Nagini, in the Shrieking Shack during the Battle of Hogwarts, as Voldemort mistakenly believes Snape is the master of the Elder Wand and orders Nagini to kill him for it. The poisonous snake bites his neck, causing a fatal injury, though Harry Potter witnesses his final moments and receives his memories, revealing Snape's true loyalty and love for Lily Potter.
Severus Snape's last words differ between the book and movie: in the book, they are a barely audible "Look at me," as he's dying from Nagini's bite, while in the movie, he says, "You have your mother's eyes," just before dying, a line added to emphasize his love for Lily Potter. Both versions convey his desire to see Lily's eyes one last time, but the movie makes it explicit, while the book leaves it more implied through his actions and the context of him seeing Harry's eyes.
