This accidental drawing came about while practising Snape's face for a project (I'd only drawn his silhouette before). After finishing the face, I felt the background was too empty, so I kept adding elements until it became what it is now.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure if this is how I should depict Snape's face... Well...
In fact, I have another version that looks older and more rugged. This one was a test for a romantic pairing, so I intentionally beautified the face a bit.
I'm still torn between the actor's appearance or the original book description, whether to make him more handsome or revert to his original look… Also, even though I deliberately flattened his hair a bit, I wonder if it's still too smooth. I'm conflicted🥲

Snape gave her [Umbridge] an ironic bow and turned to leave.

“The mind is a complex and many-layered thing, Potter — or at least, most minds are.” He smirked.

“Potter, when I want nonsense shouted at me I shall give you a Babbling Beverage. And Crabbe, loosen your hold a little, if Longbottom suffocates it will mean a lot of tedious paperwork, and I am afraid I shall have to mention it on your reference if ever you apply for a job.”
ok i've carried this headcanon through the whole fandom experience and i think it's cute
I love this thing that Severus and McGonagall had a very warm friendly relationship, she could be a support during his school years. also maybe she was the first to see this talent in him
(I came up with it when I was like 8 and I was a kid obsessed with cats, don't judge me)
