One common experience in such stories might be the sense of surprise at the new physical sensation. For example, some people describe a feeling of fullness that they weren't expecting. Another aspect could be the psychological adjustment, like getting over the initial hesitation or fear. Also, there can be a discovery of new levels of physical and emotional intimacy between partners.
Communication is key. Partners should talk about it beforehand to make sure both are comfortable. Also, relaxation techniques can be useful. Deep breathing can help the person relax their throat muscles.
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 great 'Daughter of the Deep' fanfiction is 'The Hidden Depths'. It delves deeper into the main character's backstory and her relationships in a very engaging way. The author has a great writing style that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
