In such a fanfic, it could start with Harry realizing the importance of Snape's role in the grand scheme. Maybe Harry discovers a dark prophecy that only his sacrifice can save Snape and, in turn, ensure the downfall of Voldemort. Harry might have a deep internal struggle, thinking about his friends and family but ultimately decides to make the sacrifice. He could confront Voldemort alone, knowing that his death would trigger some sort of magical protection for Snape.
In many fanfictions, Snape's sacrifice for Harry is often explored in great emotional depth. One common aspect is how his love for Lily Potter extended to protecting Harry. His self - sacrifice is shown as a redemptive act, finally revealing his true nature to Harry, which was full of love and loyalty all along.
The aftermath of Snape's sacrifice is also important. How does the wizarding world react? Do they finally give Snape the recognition he deserves? Fanfictions might explore different scenarios. Some could show a world where Snape is immediately hailed as a hero, while others might show a more complex and slow - burning recognition process, which could involve Harry's efforts to make people understand Snape's true nature.
Annabeth would be completely devastated. She would probably go into a state of shock at first, then be filled with anger and determination to find a way to bring him back, if possible. She might even go on a solo quest to try and reverse his sacrifice.
In such a fanfic, the story would likely start with a huge deviation from the canon. Snape's backstory would need to be rewritten in a way that allows for the possibility of being Harry's mother. Maybe Snape has some sort of unique magical ability related to motherhood. Harry's upbringing would also be different, as Snape would be in a parental role. There could be a lot of emotional moments as Snape tries to protect Harry in a more motherly way, which is very different from their original antagonistic relationship.
Well, one possible reason could be a very extreme misinterpretation of Snape's hatred for Harry's father. If the fanfiction writer took Snape's grudge to an unrealistic level, they might write a scenario where Snape wants to destroy Harry as a form of revenge. But this is far from the nuanced relationship shown in the original books.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Harry would face a lot of challenges. Since he's raising himself, he might not have the same moral compass as in the original story. He could be more distrustful of others. However, he would also be extremely strong - willed. He might end up creating his own little haven where he practices magic secretly and starts to build his own kind of 'family' of magical creatures or outcasts that he meets along the way.
Their family life would be quite interesting. Harry, with his brave and adventurous spirit, would bring a sense of excitement to the family. Snape, on the other hand, would be the strict yet loving parent. The kids would grow up learning magic from two very different perspectives. They might inherit Harry's courage and Snape's intelligence, and their family would be full of magical experiments and stories of Hogwarts.
It would be really complex. Snape has always had a love - hate relationship with Harry. As his godfather, he'd probably be strict but also protective. Harry would likely resent Snape's strictness at first but gradually come to understand his motives.
In this fanfiction, the story could start with some sort of mystery about their relationship. As it unfolds, we might see a different side of Snape. He could be torn between his loyalty to Voldemort (in the earlier parts of the story) and his love for his brother Harry. Harry, on the other hand, would have to come to terms with having a brother he never knew about, and this could lead to a whole new set of adventures and self - discoveries.
In such a fanfic, Snape's parenting style might be strict yet protective. He would likely enforce high standards in Harry's magical studies, just as he does in the classroom. But at the same time, he would secretly keep Harry safe from any real threats. He might not show much affection openly, but his actions would speak volumes.
