He was also called to regular meetings with Dumbledore where he taught him about Voldemort’s past and his Horcuxes. He told Harry that it was important if he was to tackle the events in his future life.

This book also reveals shocking truth about Snape. When Harry and Dumbledore reach the Astronomy tower after the search of one the Horcuxes of Voldemort, Draco arrives to fulfill Voldemort’s order of killing Dumbledore. However, Draco fails to carry out the orders. Consequently, Snape arrives at the scene and kills Dumbledore. When Harry follows them out of the tower, he tries to attack Snape, but the master was better than his student. There Snape disclosed that he was the Half Blood Prince, son of Muggle father and Pure-Blood mother.

He was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. He attacked Harry’s parents in their house. However when he attacks Harry, he somehow loses all his powers and the baby Harry remains alive with a scar on his forehead. He now lived in a non-existent form trying to regain his physical form and powers.
