In short, Snape is the only character in Harry Potter series who has grey tendency and very complex and ambiguous in nature. The uses intrinsic theory, which only deals with the existence of the text, to analyze the arrangements of Snape's complex character. The writer finds that it needs huge strategies to present Snape as the most complicated character, and the strategies are related to the way his character is arranged by using certain intrinsic elements of literature, in this case is plot, characterization, setting, and tone.
