Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone
hpWhere's Snape?
hpThe Sorting
No dialogue in this scene, Harry just looks over at Snape and Snape glares back. Well, more of a pensive glare, but a glare at any rate. Harry's scar starts to hurt and the groundwork is laid for the audience's questioning of Snape's actions/motives.
hpDinner In The Great Hall
Harry: Say Percy, who's that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?
Percy: That's Professor Snape.
Harry: What's he teach?
Percy: Potions, but everyone knows it's the Dark Arts he fancies; he's been after Quirrell's job for years.
hpPotions Class
Snape: There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention.
hp[Hermione nudges Harry]
Snape: Mr. Potter, our new celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?
hp[Harry shakes his head]
Snape: You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?
Harry: I don't know, sir.
Snape: And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane?
Harry: I don't know, sir.
Snape: Pity. Clearly fame isn't everything; is it, Mr. Potter?
hpTroll In The Dungeon!
No dialogue for this one. Quirrell's just run into The Great Hall screaming about a troll in the dungeon, the students start screaming and Dumbledore lays the smackdown. More shifty-eyed ambiguity goes on with Snape in this scene, as he exits through a side door by the staff table.
hpIn The Girls Bathroom
McGonagall: Oh my goodness! Explain yourselves!
Harry/Ron: See, what happened...
Hermione: It's my fault, Professor McGonagall.
McGonagall: Miss Granger?
Hermione: I went looking for the troll, I've read about them and thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn't come and found me I'd probably be dead.
hp[Harry sees the cut on Snape's leg]
McGonagall: Be that as it may, it was an extremely foolish thing to do. I would have expected more rational behaviour on your part and I am very disappointed in you, Miss Granger. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. As for you two gentlemen, I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many first year students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points will be awarded to each of you for sheer dumb luck.
hp[Snape glares at Quirrell as he leaves]
Quirrell: [to students] Perhaps you ought to go, might wake up.
