Did Killing Dumbledore SPLIT Snape's Soul? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing whether or not killing Albus Dumbledore split Professor Severus Snape’s soul in two.

Over the course of the Harry Potter series, it was revealed that Lord Voldemort was able to split his soul into several pieces by committing murder, performing a dark arts ritual, and housing those bits of his soul in different vessels, scattering them across the UK, and effectively creating multiple sinister magical items known as Horcruxes. Now, the Dark Lord’s ability to commit murder and subsequently create these Horcruxes seems to indicate that a witch or wizard who kills another person may very well endure a similar ripping of their soul. Which brings us to today’s question: Did Severus Snape split his soul when he murdered Albus Dumbledore atop of Hogwarts’ Astronomy Tower?
