Grand total, 12 times we see him casting Expelliarmus (though twice he's either practicing or teaching it, so we can assume it's at least a few more). Interestingly he doesn't actually use it during the dueling club where Snape taught the spell, and he doesn't use it at all in Half-Blood Prince.

Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans cite different characters, but Dobby, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, and Snape are consistently named among the most heartbreaking due to their profound loyalty, tragic lives, or sudden, impactful losses, with Dobby's selfless sacrifice often topping lists for his pure heart and newfound freedom, and Fred's death devastating his twin George and family, notes Quora and Facebook users https://www.facebook.com/groups/309399756202202/posts/2389613828180774, and Reddit.

Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban refers to Professor Snape telling the class to turn to that page in their Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) textbook, which is about werewolves, a deliberate hint that the substitute teacher, Professor Lupin, is one himself, a secret Snape was trying to expose.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, Rony can be seen attempting to launch an Avada Kedavra during the Battle of Hogwarts. This shows Rony's desperation in that scene, as he tried the unthinkable to save Hermione and himself.
