Voldemort: How does a greasy-haired, hook-nosed son of a witch and a Muggle

Dropped in the middle of a forgotten puddle in Cokeworth by providence, impoverished in squalor

Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

Harry: The namesake of Albus Severus Potter

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By being a lot smarter

By being a self-starter

By being a genius Defense Against the Dark Art-er

Dumbledore: And every day while Muggles were being slaughtered here and away

By Death Eaters, he struggled and kept his guard up

Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of

The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter

Lupin: Then the prophecy came, and devastation reigned

Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain

Put a wand to his temple, connected it to his brain

Cast a Patronus from his pain, a testament to his shame

Lucius: Well, Dumbledore found out, found him insanely ravin'

Tried to tame him and made him a double agent

Helped him find redemption, release himself from blame

Said, "All of Hogwarts' gonna know your name" - What's your name, man?

Snape: Professor Severus Snape

I'm the Potions master, Mr. Snape

And I regret that I've turned out this way

But just you wait, just you wait

Lily: In '92 Quirrell split, from Voldemort, who's head-ridden

Three years later, Voldemort returns from the dead, riddle

Me this, stronger than ever, horcruxes six

Company: And soon Snape found out that Dumbledore had gotten sick.

Bellatrix: Took an Unbreakable Vow, to protect the Malfoy boy

Pretty soon Malfoy finds out dark magic's not a toy

And Snape's saying

Bellatrix & Company: "Hold on, I'll do this myself"

Bellatrix: And with one killing curse he knocked Dumbledore right off the shelf

Harry: There would've been nothing left to do

For someone less astute

He would've been dead or destitute

Without a hope of restitution

Kept on spying, lying right to the Dark Lord

Taking more risks that he couldn't afford

Meanwhile, reading any potions book he can get his hands on

He's plotting for the future, see him now as he stands in

The headmaster's office, with Dumbledore feeding him plans

At Hogwarts he's become a new man

Company/Snape: At Hogwarts he's become a new man/Just you wait (x2)

Company: At Hogwarts he's become a new man

Women: At Hogwarts

Men: Hogwarts

Snape: Just you wait!

Company: Severus the half-blood prince

We are waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down

You never learned to lose a grudge

Oh, Severus the half-blood prince

When the wizarding world sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?

Will they know how you changed the game?

Hogwarts will never be the same, oh

Voldemort: His portrait's in the office now

See if you can spot him

Another half-blood Slytherin

Who came up from the bottom

The second war destroyed his rep

And Potter near forgot him

James, Sirius & Bellatrix: Me? I fought with him

Harry: Me? I died for him

Dumbledore & Narcissa: Me? I trusted him

Lily: Me? I loved him

Voldemort: And me? I'm the damn fool that slaughtered him.

Company: There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait

Voldemort: What's your name, man?

Company: Severus the half-blood prince!
