One more to consider is 'Snape: Beyond the Surface'. In this story, the author explores Snape's relationships with other characters like Dumbledore and McGonagall. It shows how his interactions with them were not always as straightforward as they seemed in the original books and adds more depth to his character.
One great Snape fanfiction is 'The Prince's Tale Redux'. It delves deeper into Snape's relationship with Lily. It shows his internal struggles and how his love for her influenced his actions throughout the series. It gives a more in - depth look at his character than what was shown in the original books.
In some fanfictions, Snape is indeed portrayed as Harry Potter's father. Fanfiction allows for creative reinterpretations of the original story, and this is one such interesting deviation from the canon where Snape's complex relationship with Harry takes on a whole new dimension.
In some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced knowledge of potions to create a special concoction to heal Harry. He could draw on his skills in Herbology as well to find rare ingredients for the potion.
One possible motive could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Snape is framed for something really bad, like a dark magic plot against Hogwarts. Harry, in his haste to protect the school and his friends, believes Snape is guilty and takes drastic action. Another reason could be if Snape accidentally endangers someone Harry loves dearly, like Ginny or Ron, and Harry's emotions get the better of him in the heat of the moment.
One possible fanfiction could be about Snape secretly having a pet Kneazle. In this story, Harry Potter might accidentally discover Snape's soft side as he cares for the Kneazle. Maybe the Kneazle gets into some trouble in Hogwarts and Harry and Snape have to work together to save it, which would be a very interesting plot twist as they usually don't get along.
Common themes include the power of love and loyalty. In some fanfictions, Snape's love for Lily extends to his relationship with Potter in unexpected ways. Another theme is the struggle between good and evil within their own characters. Potter has his own inner demons to face, and Snape is often seen as a morally grey character. And there's the theme of family, as Potter is an orphan and Snape has his own complicated family history, which can be explored in relation to their relationship.
In some fanfictions, yes. Writers often explore the complex relationship between Harry and Snape. They might create scenarios where Harry discovers Snape's true loyalties and motives earlier than in the original books, leading to a new level of trust.
One possible fanfiction could be about Hermione discovering Snape's hidden past and his true motives. She might initially be skeptical but as she delves deeper, she realizes that Snape was more complex than she thought. For example, she could find out about his love for her mother's friend Lily and how that influenced his actions throughout the series.
Yes, there are some fanfictions with this rather out - of - the - box concept. Fanfiction writers often like to explore alternative family relationships and storylines in the Harry Potter universe.
