In the 1996–1997 school year, Harry Potter took a N.E.W.T. Harry Potter brewing a potion with the aid of the Half-Blood Prince's book " On the other hand, the Prince had proved a much more effective teacher than Snape so far." - Harry's thoughts towards the Half-Blood Prince, ironically unaware that it was actually Severus Snape himself When he changed teaching positions and Horace Slughorn gained the classroom, he left the book there. When he eventually returned to Hogwarts to work as Potions Master, he kept this copy of Advanced Potion-Making in a cupboard in his classroom (perhaps to use its annotations for his own teaching, as it was obviously not meant to be used by students). When Severus left Hogwarts, he fell in league with the Death Eaters, though he never lost his old copy of Advanced Potion-Making.
He also made notes in the margins of several spells that he had invented himself, including Sectumsempra, Levicorpus, Langlock, and Muffliato. Snape, being a talented potioneer even at a young age, had made alterations to the many recipes within the book for even better effects. When Snape attended Hogwarts as a student, he had acquired this textbook for N.E.W.T.-level Potions with Horace Slughorn and then signed it with his own self-proclaimed nickname and signature, the "Half-Blood Prince". Not being well off, the book was second-hand nothing is known of its original owner. The first known owner of this copy of Advanced Potion-Making was Severus Snape, the future Potions Master of Hogwarts, when he was still attending as a student.
