There are also fanfictions where James saves Snape during a Quidditch match. Snape is in a dangerous situation, perhaps targeted by some rogue bludgers. James, despite their rivalry, decides to intervene and rescue Snape. This not only shows James' heroic side but also adds an unexpected twist to their relationship on the Quidditch pitch.
One great example could be a story where James discovers a plot against Snape that no one else is aware of. He then uses his skills and Gryffindor courage to protect Snape from the impending danger. This could involve him facing off against some dark wizards who have a vendetta against Snape.
One great example could be a fanfiction where Snape overcomes his long - held grudges against Sirius in a life - or - death situation.

There's a fanfic called 'Snape's Hidden Heroism for Lily'. In this story, Snape discovers a plot against Lily early on and starts devising ways to keep her out of harm's way. He sacrifices his position among the Death Eaters and risks his own life in the process. Another interesting one is 'When Snape Saved Lily'. It details a scenario where Snape has to fight his former friends to rescue Lily from a deadly trap.
The main thing is the contrast between their characters. James is the popular, confident Gryffindor, while Snape is the brooding, often - misunderstood Slytherin. When James saves Snape, it turns the expected dynamic on its head.
One possibility is that Snape has a change of heart. Maybe he realizes that despite their differences, James is a father and a valuable member of the wizarding world. In some fanfictions, Snape might be in a situation where he sees James being wrongly accused, and his sense of justice kicks in to save him.
In some versions, James might use his Quidditch skills to create a distraction while rescuing Lily from a dangerous situation Snape unknowingly led her into. For example, he could fly in on his broomstick and snatch her away just as a spell was about to hit her.

For instance, he might show Obito the new, more united ninja world that he has been working towards. This gives Obito hope and makes him realize that there is still a chance for a better future, and thus he is saved.
