Albus Severus Potter is introduced in the epilogue of the seventh and last Harry Potter book, The Deathly Hallows, as the second child of Harry and Ginny Potter. He is named after Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape.
Albus Severus "Al" Potter is the second child of Harry and Ginny. He is said to look much like Harry, and it is noted that, of all of Harry's children, he is the only one to have inherited Harry's mother's green eyes. In the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, he is being sent to Hogwarts for the first time. Because of jokes from his elder brother James, Albus fears that he will be placed in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. Harry reassures Albus that he will be loved no matter what and informs him that Severus Snape, one of the two Hogwarts Headmasters for whom he was named, was in Slytherin and "probably the bravest man I ever knew". In addition, he reveals to Albus that he himself was placed in Gryffindor because he asked the Sorting Hat not to put him in Slytherin, something he had never told any of his children. Harry also had similar fears of being placed in Slytherin when he first went to Hogwarts. Albus's first name comes from Albus Dumbledore, Harry's favourite headmaster, but Harry honours Severus Snape, the man who loved Lily Evans so much that he dedicated his life to protecting her son and ultimately lost his life in the attempt.
