archetypes. 

I believe archetypes are universal, but they don't have to be 
predictable. :o) An individual uses many archetypes in carrying out 
their own personal mission or "contracts" with others. An archetype 
can be streeeeetched to mean different things. For example, there 
are many different types of "heros", including the 'anti-hero'. 

I think Snape has some obvious Archetypes:

Coward/Bully
Alchemist
Spy
Mentor/Teacher
Saboteur

However, I don't think his character has been fleshed out enough to 
know what exactly he's doing...and why!

Because the characters are actually using more than one archetypes, 
and they interact with other character archetypes, it is that 
dynamic that keeps you guessing.
