Snape might be cold and distant at first. He's not exactly the warm - and - fuzzy type. But deep down, he might see a bit of Harry in Albus and feel a sense of responsibility to guide him, just as he had watched over Harry in his own way.
At the first encounter, Snape would likely be his usual surly self. He might question Albus's motives for seeking him out. But as Albus shows his respect for Snape's skills and knowledge, Snape could soften a bit. He may start to teach Albus some of the more nuanced aspects of potion - making and defensive magic. Snape would also probably tell Albus stories about his father, not the glorified ones but the real, complex ones, to give Albus a more well - rounded view of his family history.
Snape's reaction would be complex. He has so much history with the Potter family. At the start, he might show his usual cold exterior. However, if Albus shows respect and a genuine desire to learn from him, Snape could gradually warm up. He might share some of his potions knowledge and secrets that he never shared with others. He may also tell Albus stories about his mother, Lily, in a roundabout way, to help Albus understand his family's past better and the sacrifices that were made for him to be alive.
Their relationship might start off rocky. Albus Severus Potter has grown up hearing different things about Snape, and Snape is not used to dealing with the son of Harry Potter. But as they spend time together, they could find common ground. For example, they both have a connection to the Potter family in different ways. Albus might start to admire Snape's intelligence and skill in potions, and Snape could see potential in Albus.
One possible plotline could be that Albus Severus Potter is initially shocked and a bit scared to meet the living Snape. Snape, on the other hand, might be initially cold towards Albus, but as they interact more, Snape could see a bit of Harry in Albus and start to warm up. They could end up having long discussions about the past, Snape's relationship with Harry, and how Albus can learn from the past mistakes. Maybe Snape could even teach Albus some advanced potions skills that are not taught in the regular Hogwarts curriculum.
In such a fanfiction, Albus Potter might initially be intimidated by Snape's reputation. But he could gradually discover Snape's hidden qualities. Maybe Snape would become a mentor - like figure to Albus, guiding him in magic that he couldn't learn from others.
Well, Albus could finally understand Snape's true nature. Maybe he discovers the sacrifices Snape made for his family. He might apologize for any wrong assumptions he had about Snape in the past.
Perhaps Snape could help Albus Severus come to terms with his family legacy. Albus Severus is named after two great wizards, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape. Snape could share his own experiences of being in the shadow of great names and how to carve out one's own identity in the wizarding world. This encounter could be a very emotional and character - building moment for Albus Severus.
For Albus Severus Potter, he could start off as a bit of a skeptic about Snape. But as he delves deeper into Snape's past, he could develop into a strong advocate for Snape's honor. He might become more confident in himself as he realizes the complexity of the wizarding world's history that Snape was a part of.
In many of these fanfictions, Snape is often portrayed as a complex and misunderstood figure. He is shown as having a deep - seated sense of loyalty, whether it's to Hogwarts or to the memory of Lily. For example, in some stories, he acts as a sort of guiding spirit for Albus Severus, using his past experiences to help the young Potter navigate the challenges at school.
Snape would probably be very conflicted. On one hand, he has a long - standing grudge against James Potter, Harry's father. But on the other hand, he loved Harry's mother, Lily. So, he might be cold at first, but then his sense of protecting Lily's son could kick in. He would likely be very strict with Harry, as he is with all his students, but also secretly keep an eye on him to make sure he's safe.
It might be a rather complex relationship. Snape has his own dark past and Albus Severus has the weight of his family name. They could start off on the wrong foot, with misunderstandings, but gradually develop respect for each other as they get to know one another better. For example, Snape might initially misjudge Albus Severus as being just another spoiled Potter, but then realize his determination and intelligence.
