{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
Snape's ongoing dislike for Harry is a main feature throughout the series. Harry's first-ever Potions class with Snape actually foreshadows events in the upcoming books. In his introduction, Snape says he can teach the students to, "brew fame, bottle fortune, and even stopper death." (The US book has a slightly different wording; see below.) This scene's many connections, as described below, to later parts of the series, had led many fans to speculate, following the events in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|the sixth book's conclusion]], that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] and Snape conspired to fake Dumbledore's death. In fact, the potion mentioned had been used in that book, though we do not discover that until [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|late in the final book]]; Snape had prevented or delayed Dumbledore's death caused by his touching a cursed ring. The discussion of aconite or monkshood, and the associated Draught of Living Death, reappear in the sixth book, first when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Horace Slughorn|Professor Slughorn]] has Harry's class brew this potion, and possibly (in the US edition only) atop the Astronomy tower, when Dumbledore attempts to convince [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]] to switch sides, and tells him that can make Draco and all his family appear to be dead. (The reader should note that there is no immediate connection to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wolfsbane Potion|Wolfsbane Potion]] that appears in ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban''; that is a completed potion, and apparently a complex one, while the Wolfsbane mentioned here is a potion ingredient.) The [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Bezoar|Bezoar]] that Snape asks Harry to describe will play a small role in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 22|the fourth book]], and a much larger one in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 18|the sixth book]].
In the book's British and Canadian versions, Snape's wording in the scene mentioned above, "and even stopper death," is somewhat ambiguous; some readers have suggested that it means placing death in a bottle. This seems overly simplistic, as poisons are so common, both in the Muggle and Wizarding worlds, that they hardly merit mention. The more likely meaning is to prevent Death from acting, stoppering it inside a bottle. In the US / Scholastic version of the books, this phrase appears instead as "and even put a stopper to death." As we learn later in the series, the US version of Snape's speech is better aligned with his actual meaning, though many editors feel that the original British wording is more elegant.
