Harry Potter could visit Snape in the hospital. Despite their past differences, Harry might feel a sense of obligation or curiosity. He could be there to finally have an honest conversation with Snape and perhaps gain a better understanding of his actions throughout the years.
Another way Snape could comfort Harry is by standing up for him in certain situations. Maybe when other teachers or students are being unfair to Harry, Snape steps in and defends him. This act of protection can be a great source of comfort for Harry, as it shows that someone is on his side even if they have had a rocky relationship in the past.
Snape might initially be shocked. He's not one to show much emotion openly, but internally he could be very disturbed. He might start investigating what happened to Hermione immediately, using his skills in potions and magic to try and find a cure or at least understand the cause.
Snape could initially be skeptical. Given their long - standing enmity, he might not believe that Harry's apology is sincere at first. He might respond with a cold glare or a sarcastic comment, like 'Potter, your apologies are as empty as your head.'
To evaluate Snape's characterization, look at how his loyalty is portrayed. In the original series, he was loyal to Dumbledore but also had a complex past with Voldemort. His relationship with students, especially those in Slytherin, should also be considered. If he's too soft or too harsh compared to the books, it might be a sign of poor characterization.
There could be other Death Eaters that Snape knew in his life. In the afterlife, they might be there to either confront him about his double - agent status or to seek redemption themselves. And sometimes, characters from Snape's childhood, like his parents or childhood friends, might appear to add more depth to his backstory and his experiences in the afterlife.
This could be a modern AU (Alternate Universe) fanfiction where the magical setting is replaced with a contemporary one and Snape takes on a non-magical job like being a bartender.
One aspect to consider in 'Suicidal Snape Fanfiction' could be the exploration of Snape's complex character. His life was filled with pain, loss, and unrequited love. Fanfiction might delve into his internal struggles that could lead to suicidal thoughts. For example, his unwavering love for Lily Potter that was never fully realized, and his position in the wizarding world which was often misunderstood.
Sure, the Harry Potter fandom is huge and full of creativity. Writers might come up with a story where Harry is Snape's master for various reasons. It could be due to a prophecy or a magical bond that no one expected. In this kind of fanfiction, we might see Snape having to follow Harry's orders, which would be a complete reversal of their normal relationship in the original series. This could lead to some very intense and dramatic storylines.
One possibility could be that in this fanfiction, Snape takes Harry for some sort of training or protection. Maybe Snape realizes that Harry is in greater danger than Dumbledore anticipates and decides to take matters into his own hands. He might take Harry to a secret location to teach him advanced magic or to keep him away from the prying eyes of Voldemort's followers.
