Where's Snape???

As a Headmaster of Hogwarts, where is Snape's "frame" in the Headmaster's office?

Well, Umbridge's portrait isn't up, is it?

OMG - I hadn't thought of that!!! How chilling - I think she is in Azcabar...

We know that the headmaster's in the protraits are "real", not just memories of their personalities, as Snape went to Dumbledore for advice near the end

Maybe Snape's and Umbridge's time as headmaster/mistress doesn't count because they were both run out. I doubt it though.

I am sure that Snapes portrit went up.
Besides Umbrige was never realy head master was she.
she never got in to the office did she.

so.... when Harry went in there to ask Dumbledore about leaving the stone in the forest, was Snape there? and if not, where was he? (don't you think Harry would have noticed if Snape was there?)

Very true, very true. The way Rowling phrased it, Snape very well could have been there. But I really do think Harry would've noticed the new portrait. I mean, the man did love his mother!

I don't think Snape would want to be there... I don't think he would want to see Harry and Dumbledore - I almost think he felt betrayed by Dumbledore

You know when Snape showed Dumbledore his patronus? And how he said he thought he was just being used? Well, I have this pet theory that Dumbledore went on to tell Snape that Harry might live. That particular flash of Snape's memory ended kind of abruptly. Snape wouldn't want Harry to know about that part of the conversation because Harry would know that he wasn't really sacrificing his life.
