How does Snape's character develop if he walks in on Lily and James in fanfiction?

In many fanfictions, when Snape sees Lily and James, it's a turning point for his character. He could see their relationship as a sign of his own inadequacy, which might initially make him more vengeful. However, as time passes, he might come to understand that his actions are driving Lily further away. This realization could lead to a more complex Snape. He might struggle with his feelings, trying to balance his love for Lily with his dislike for James. Eventually, he might grow to accept their relationship, but still hold a special place in his heart for Lily. This new - found acceptance could make him more empathetic towards others in the long run.

In fanfiction, if Snape walked in on Lily and James, it could lead to a very intense confrontation. Snape, who had deep feelings for Lily, would likely be filled with a mix of jealousy, anger, and heartbreak. He might lash out at James verbally or even try to use magic against him. Lily, on the other hand, would be in a difficult position, caught between her old friend Snape and her new love James. It could also potentially change the dynamics of their relationships in the fanfiction world, perhaps causing Lily to re - evaluate her friendship with Snape or making James more protective of Lily around Snape.

It would strain their relationship even more. Snape's love for Lily was already on shaky ground due to their different paths. Seeing her with James would make him feel like she has completely chosen the other side, and he might start to resent her a bit.

It could make Snape more bitter. Since he lost Lily to James, he might become even more withdrawn and focused on his own studies or other solitary pursuits. This could further isolate him from others and fuel his resentment towards James and his group.

Snape's view of James might not change much at first. He has such deep - seated hatred for James due to their past. But if the fanfiction shows James in a more positive or sympathetic light, he may start to question his long - held beliefs about him, just a little bit.

Often, his jealousy is manifested in his actions towards James. He might try to outdo James in academic or magical feats, all because he wants to prove that he is better than James, especially in Lily's eyes. And when it comes to Lily, he may be secretly longing for her attention while trying to hide his feelings because he knows she is with James.

Snape's character can develop in many ways. For example, he might become more open and less bitter. Surviving could make him realize that he has a second chance at life and he should use it to be a better person.

Often, Snape's Animagus form in fanfiction gives him a new sense of freedom. Let's say his form is a deer. This form could make him more in touch with his gentle side, which he has long suppressed. As a deer, he might interact with the forest animals and gain a new understanding of life outside of the dark arts and the conflicts of the wizarding world. This could gradually soften his character, making him less bitter and more open to new relationships and ideas.

Snape in 'Snape Saves Lily' fanfictions is typically depicted as a hero in a sense. Despite his past associations with the dark side, his love for Lily makes him turn against his former allies. He is shown to be intelligent and resourceful, using his skills in magic, especially his knowledge of potions and dark arts (but using it for good in this case), to save Lily from various threats. He is also portrayed as a very emotional character, his love for Lily being the one pure thing in his otherwise troubled life.

Snape's character often develops from a cold and aloof figure to a more caring and nurturing one. At first, he might be hesitant and gruff, but as he spends more time with Harry, his protective instincts kick in. He starts to show more patience and understanding, which is a big change from his usual self in the original series.
