Lily could be really interesting. In the fanfiction, she might be shown with more depth and hidden motives. Maybe she had her own reasons for her actions towards Snape that we didn't fully understand in the original story.
One common theme is redemption. The time travel often gives characters a chance to redeem Snape from his worst memory, either by changing the actions of those who bullied him or by giving Snape the strength to stand up for himself earlier.
In some fanfictions, a plot twist might be that the memory was somehow manipulated by a dark wizard. So, what we see as Snape's worst memory was actually a distorted version of the truth. This could lead to a whole new understanding of Snape's character and actions during that time.
There's also 'Back to that Memory'. In this fanfic, the time traveler tries to change Snape's worst memory, which leads to a series of unforeseen consequences. It delves deep into the emotions of the characters and how a single change in the past can have a huge impact on the future. It's really engaging as it shows the complex relationships between Snape, his bullies, and the other Hogwarts students from a different perspective.
One plotline could be Snape forgetting his past enmities, especially towards Harry Potter. This might lead to an unexpected friendship developing between them as Snape no longer holds the grudges from before. He could start seeing Harry in a new light and they might work together to uncover secrets about the wizarding world that were previously clouded by their animosity.
Luna Lovegood could be a character in such fanfiction. Given her unique perspective on things, she might have an interesting take on Snape's memory loss. She could offer some unorthodox solutions or just be a calming presence in the chaos that follows Snape's changed state. And of course, Dumbledore might be involved as he has always had a complex relationship with Snape and would surely be interested in how this memory loss affects Snape and the future of Hogwarts.
Well, a possible plot could be that Snape loses his memory due to a powerful dark magic spell gone wrong. He forgets his identity completely. The story could then focus on how the other Hogwarts professors try to help him. For example, Dumbledore might use some ancient magic to try and restore his memories. Meanwhile, Voldemort could sense that something is off with Snape and send his Death Eaters to investigate. This would create a lot of tension and drama in the story.
In some fanfictions, Snape and Harry might have a grudging truce during Christmas. For example, Snape could be forced to supervise Harry's Christmas activities at Hogwarts, leading to some tense but interesting interactions. Harry might be secretly trying to figure out Snape's true nature during this time.
Sure. Fanfiction allows for a great deal of creative license. A 'Ron is Snape's mate' fanfiction could delve into how these two very different characters from different houses and with different personalities would interact on a more personal level. It might explore themes of friendship, or even something more complex like how they influence each other's growth. It could also be a way to re - imagine the Hogwarts environment with this new relationship at the center, showing how other characters would react to it.
Yes, there are likely some fanfictions with this concept. The Harry Potter fandom is very creative, and writers often come up with unique relationships between characters. Some might explore the idea of Snape being Harry's brother to add new layers of drama, mystery, and character development to the story.
