Snape evidently smells like bitterness and old shoes. One fan asked about what Snape smells like, and although the original tweet with the question has since been deleted, Rowling's reply is still up. It turns out, the answer is "bitterness and old shoes."
Snape: books, apothecary and wine. Luna: derigible plums, wellies and pudding (English kind not the American dairy kind) Ginny: vanilla, wood and petrichor.
He is not conventionally handsome but if even attractive, rich sports hero James Potter considered him a serious rival for Lily's affections it's because he was. The man he was based on was actually rather good looking. Severus is also brave, brilliantly intelligent and has a good sense of humour.
He has a deep rooted phobia of shampoo. People do have different priorities, even if he ever washed it he probably didn't use enough shampoo or other products to get all the grease away.
Severus Snape was only 32 years old when Harry went to Hogwarts for the first time. And 38 years old when he died.
Severus Snape spent the majority of his life in love with Lily Potter. It is easy to understand why Snape, who had an unhappy homelife as a child, fell hard for the first person to show him love and kindness.
Snape Wouldn't Hate Her So Much
It's terrible for a boy to expect worse treatment from an adult with authority over him than a girl would, and it's equally terrible that Harry being a girl has the potential of entering “Petyr Baelish” territory.
Now, as firmly established, Snape was not the greatest fan of Harry, but that didn't mean that he ever stopped loving Lily. Dumbledore was surprised that Snape seemed to care for the boy. With a swish of his wand, Snape conjured up a Patronus – Lily's Patronus, a doe. 'Always,' he said.
A further clue about Hermione and Ron's romance can be found in Potions class. When describing the smell of Amortentia, Hermione blushes and won't reveal the third scent. J.K. Rowling has since confirmed that this smell is Ron's hair. Finally, Hermione took a career path that may have surprised her younger self.

Pansy Parkinson. She was obsessed with him.
Lily Evans:
Kind-hearted with a feisty streak, Lily's scent would be a blend of floral and zest.
Neville Longbottom: Flowers, his mother's perfume, plants. Luna Lovegood: Strawberries, lavender.
Professor Severus Snape was Harry's least favorite teacher. Harry also happened to be Snape's least favorite student.
Although Snape may not have projected his memory of James onto Harry, he still would have been predisposed to dislike him by virtue of him being James Potter's son. Harry being in Slytherin would not have changed this fact.
He was also a descendant of Slytherin himself, and could speak parseltongue. These are, of course, obvious signs that he should be placed in Slytherin.
And although she was one of the few people at Hogwarts who was entirely unimpressed by him, her fellow Gryffindor James Potter was also deeply infatuated with her as well. Obviously Lily ultimately chose James Potter over Severus Snape, and Lily and James got married and had their only child, Harry Potter.
For the Potter uninitiated, “always” is how Snape explains to Dumbledore in the final book why his Patronus takes the same shape as the one belonging to his long-lost love: Harry Potter's mother, Lily.
Draco Malfoy's mother Narcissa was cold, cunning and devoted to the Dark Lord. But she was also a mother, which meant she was willing to risk everything to make sure her son was safe. When Harry survived Voldemort's Killing Curse for the second time, Narcissa pretended he was dead so she could get to Draco.
He doesn't trust Snape as Dumbledore does, but he believes that he can detect any disloyalty. Moreover, Voldemort regards Snape as highly intelligent and therefore ' as a true Slytherin ' a person whose top priority is to take care of himself.
