Question

ok i watched half blooded prince and snape is the half blooded prince but i dont get it?please tell me how?

Answer 1

Snape took the name "Half -Blood Prince" because his mother's surname was Prince, and she was a pureblood witch. His father, Tobias Snape, was a Muggle, thus making him a half-blood. He dropped this nickname as Voldemort came to power, so he could pretend he was a pureblood.

Answer 2

Here's the story:



When Harry got the old potions book from Slughorn, he realized it was once the property of someone called The Half-Blood Prince. The book has instructions scribbled on its pages made by the Half-Blood Prince. Because of the instructions in the book, Harry became a top student in Potions class. Hermione became curious about the personality of the Half-Blood Prince so she did all that she could do to find out who it was.



(In the book)



Hermione had the thought that the Half-Blood Prince was a girl because of the handwriting. Harry did not believe her because he knew the word "Prince" refers to a boy. One day, while in the common room, Hermione showed an old newspaper to Harry which featured a girl named

Eileen Prince. Hermione believed that Eileen Prince was the Half-Blood Prince

Harry ignored her, he had a strong feeling that the Half-Blood Prince was a boy.

Harry and Dumbledore went to a cave and find the locket Horcrux. They returned to the Astronomy Tower. Draco appeared when Harry hid himself under the Invisibilty Cloak. Draco threatened Dumbledore but seemed to be scared. The Death Eaters and then Snape showed up.

Snape killed Dumbledore, Harry chased Snape and used the Half-Blood Prince spells against him.

Snape blocked the spells and was able to disarm Harry. Snape revealed that he was the Half-Blood Prince. Harry was there lying on the ground and couldn't stand the pain, Snape and the Death Eaters escaped.

The next day, Harry talked to Ron and Hermione in the common room. The trio found out that Snape was the Half-Blood Prince, It's because Snape was a Half-Blood (his mother was Eileen Prince, a witch, while his father was Tobias Snape, a muggle) and Prince was his mother's surname.





This part in the book where they found out why Snape's the Half-Blood Prince was not included in the film which is quite disappointing.

Answer 3

Like someone else said, Snape's mother was names Eileen Prince (hence the half-blood PRINCE), and his father's last name was obviously Snape. While he was at Hogwarts, he excelled at Potions and Harry's potions book used to belong to Snape. The scribblings in the book were made by Snape.

Answer 4

Snapes moms maiden name was Prince, when he was attending Hogwarts he wrote his only little "additions" into a potions book. He nicknamed himself the Half -Blood Prince since his mom was a witch and his dad was a muggle. That book stayed at Hogwarts since it was a handme down, which is how Harry got it.

Answer 5

His mother's maiden name was Prince, and his father was a muggle, making Snape a half blood.

Answer 6

Snape's mother is witch Eileen Prince who married a muggle named Snape. So Snape is a half blood wizard who took his alias from his mother's maiden name.

Answer 7

He wrote in his old potions book that he was the half-blooded prince. Meaning he is born of a muggle and a magic person.

Answer 8

He just was awesome at potions, and left his textbook behind from when he was a student.

Is that what you're confused about?
