 This is the number of the individual, the solitary unit. Ones are 
independent, focused, and determined. They set a goal and stick to 
it. They are leaders and inventors. Ones find it difficult to work 
with others and don't like to take orders. They can be self-centered, 
egotistical, and domineering. They are often loners.

Well, I couldn't resist. So I used Arithmancy to scope out Snape. 
He's a two and the site says this:

 "Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured."

Sweet natured? I must have added wrong. 

Maybe we can divine his middle name by seeing how many letters it 
should have to bring him to a number that more closely fits him.

Here's the whole description about twos.  
  
  2 Two represents interaction, two-way communication, cooperation, 
and balance. Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured. 
Peace, harmony, commitment, loyalty, and fairness are characteristic. 
But two also introduces the idea of conflict, opposing forces, and 
the contrasting sides of things: night and day, good and evil. Twos 
can be withdrawn, moody, self-conscious and indecisive.


"Conflict, opposing forces, night-and-day, good-and-evil"....That's 
him!
