Renee:

I'm afraid you're (con)fusing two Tarot cards here: the Fool and the
Hanged Man. The Fool is the first card of the deck, bearing the number
zero, and stands for innocence, naivity, new beginnings and unexpected
happenings. Reversed, it stands for ill-advised risks, impulsive
actions and rash decisions. If this is anyone's card, it's Harry's,
not Snape's.

The Hanged Man is card #12. It stands for change (things turned on
their head), rebirth, sacrifice, devotion to a cause, but reversed,
for loss, lack of commitment, selfish preoccupations and inability to
move forward. If this is Snape's card, the interesting question would
be whether it came out upright or reversed.
