How does Snape smell and other Harry Potter insights that JK Rowling revealed on Twitter

Los Angeles: Celebrated author JK Rowling has debunked some of the popular Harry Potter fan theories, including Dumbledore being a time-traveling version of Ron. The 50-year-old author, who often takes to Twitter to interact with fans and to throw more light on the Potterworld, fact-checked a few fan theories of the hugely popular franchise.

Draco definitely isn’t a werewolf (and Snape’s not a vampire).” Rowling also answered a very important question about the scent of Severus Snape. “Bitterness and old shoes.” Earlier, Rowling had revealed that everyone has been pronouncing the main antagonist Voldemort’s name incorrectly, as the ’t’ in the name is actually a silent, ‘r’.
