Phineas Nigellus Black (1847-1926), more commonly known as Phineas Nigellus, is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series, the great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black and said to be the least popular headmaster Hogwarts ever had (though it is possible Dolores Umbridge has since usurped this title).
Phineas' portrait hangs in the headmaster's office along with the portraits of the other ex-headmasters and headmistresses.
Phineas Nigellus and his wife, Ursula Flint, are the oldest known ancestors of the "Ancient and Noble House of Black".

 The Sugar Quill > Phineas Nigellus
Phineas and Dumbledore are a perfect example of what they should strive for - not agreement, or even to like each other, but that kind of acknowledgement and respect.
Phineas is a necessary precursor to that rarest of species in Potterdom: the sympathetic Slytherin.
Phineas is a distinguished member of one of the oldest pureblooded families around, most of whom support Voldemort, but he has chosen not to.

 Nasubionna's Harry Potter Tribute
Sharp, sarcastic and coolly indifferent, Phineas Nigellus is the deceased Great-great grandfather of Sirius Black, and was one of Hogwarts' "least popular" headmasters, according to his great-great grandson.
Phineas is very keen-witted, and like Dumbledore, has an alarmingly accurate understanding of adolescent angst.
But unlike Dumbledore, Phineas is unforgiving of that phase of human existence, and makes no effort to be understanding or tolerant.

He looked around.  Phineas Nigellus had appeared on the canvus of his portrait and was leaning against the frame,  watching Harry with an amused expression on his face.
I believe Phineas NIGELLUS was planted as a clue to make us look deeper into the subject of Sirius' death, and that is the reason she did not use the name Black.
when i 'met' phineas nigellus, he reminded me snape, at first, but the fact that he is a slitherin maybe explains that, and all you said and examined was perhaps too much, even if i think that with brains and a sense of examination like yours, you should have written the harry potter series!

 The Phantom Librarian - Fic: An Absurd Notion
It would, of course, be published under the name "Nigellus," as all of his papers were--using a Latinate derivation for some reason helped avoid connections with such shining examples of the bloodline as Grandfather Castor, not to mention Vega's father, Phineas's own brother, whose reputation was as shady as the circumstances of his death.
Phineas waved a butter knife at it and she withdrew it unrepentently.
By then, Phineas had worn out any inclination he had to be hospitable, and he told her to by all means try what she would on her own, but to for heaven's sake leave him alone about it.

Phineas starb mit 78 Jahren, kein besonderes Alter, wenn man davon ausgeht, dass JKR sagte, dass Zauberer älter werden als Muggel, aber das klingt eher nach durchschnittlichem Muggelalter.
Was Phineas angeht: Du hast Recht, er ist furchtbar herablassend, zynisch und fies zu Harry.
Was Phineas uebrigens trotz seiner wenig netten Art von Snape unterscheidet: er wird nicht allzu persoenlich, er zieht nur allgemein ueber Pubertierende her, waehrend Snape laengst mit einer Bemerkung ueber Harrys Vater oder seine Faehigkeiten in Zaubertraenke zur Stelle gewesen waere.

Phineas was hilarious--I liked how he and Snape both seem to have a pretty good grasp on Harry right off the bat...I mean, ya, Snape never did give Harry a chance, but I do sometimes feel he's pretty accurate when calling Harry on his BS, even if he does seem a bit....vindictive.
Phineas was one of my favorite characters in OotP, if that can be said about a portrait.
Dumbledore marched over to another portrait, this time of a clever-looking wizard with a pointed beard, who had been painted wearing the Slytherin colors of green and silver and was apparantly sleeping so deeply that he could not hear Dumbledore's voice when he attempted to rouse him.

I was surprised when Master Nigellus, as he requested I refer to him during our interview, told me that they taught both the Dark Arts and the defense against them in his years teaching and then later as Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Master Nigellus couldn't seem to make up his mind about Dolores, he at once admired her no-nonsense method of dealing with her students, but didn't like the way she avoided actually teaching what she was there for.
Master Nigellus was, however, eager to discuss another teacher who, like Quirrell, was a very good DADA teacher, and who also like Quirrell, wasn't at all who he seemed.

Sirius suggested that she stay in the larger room that Ron and Harry had shared, but she shuddered and said that she didn't fancy the thought of Phineas Nigellus eavesdropping on her while she talked in her sleep.
Somewhere past two, he asked Phineas Nigellus to see if Dumbledore was awake, and while he waited in the room, he toyed with a scroll one of the boys had left behind.
For a moment, the memory was so clear that he could see the pattern of cracks in the finished surface of his desk, and smell the faintly gamey odor of the grindylow tank behind him.
