Mr Snape

Mr Snape is a non-canonical character created for ITV's 2009 adaptation of the novel Why Didn't They Ask Evans? He is a solicitor whom Jack Savage engaged to prepare a new will. Mr Snape appears in one scene where the will is being signed but the actor who portrays him is not credited. Snape is the parallel of Mr Elford in the original novel.

John Carstairs and, separately, Jack Savage's children Dorothy and Tom, found the choice of solicitor suspicious because their father's regular solicitor was Mr Manning.
