Ah, Severus. In base set, you were the ideal back-up. Now, you're the
left-out character. Severus is great for many reasons. He can be a starter,
he provides a lesson, and, he heals 7 for free once a game!
But, he's underused. Most Potions spells require discard, so he's excluded
as starters. But, if you're using a pure-Potions deck, he could be a mean
starter. But, if you're using it as a back-up, it takes two actions to play,
and may be discarded before you even use it! Also, since it's healing, you
can't heal it back to your deck!

A free heal anytime you want it and a potion power to boot. With the many
new Potions cards not requiring you to discard lessons to play, Snape got
even better. You can add healing, heavier spells, and/or items by just using
Snape as your starter or as your back up if your opponent doesn't already
have him out.

Snape was probably the first most used starter in Base Set. Then people figured out
that you had to have potion lessons to discard for your cool potion spells. So Snape
was out, and Flitwick stepped in. In this environment, these were the only two characters
that gave you 1 extra power starting the game. If you play a potions deck without
needing to discard potion lessons, this guy is great. Heals 7 cards back to your
deck and provides 1 Potions power for you. Although most decks now-a-days would be
using McGonagall, Snape was very effective during his reign.

A lot of people don't really like Professor Severus Snape because most
Potion spells require you to sacrifice a lesson. Yet, he is not to be
underestimated. There are some good healers nowadays that don't make you
lose a lesson and some powerful spells also. i.e. Potions Exam and Potions
Class Disaster. His seven card heal is also not to be underestimated. His
ability is not as game applicable as some of the other characters. However,
it can come in extremely handy when the game gets close. I'd say he is
probably an underused character with lots of potential.
