She could be a mentor to Harry. Since she's alive, she can directly pass on her knowledge of magic and the wizarding world to him, which would be a huge change from the original story where he had to rely on memories and other people's accounts of her.
She might play a role in changing the wizarding society. Lily could use her influence to promote more equality and harmony in the wizarding world. For example, she could work towards ending the discrimination between pure - bloods and half - bloods or Muggle - borns. As a living character, she has the potential to be actively involved in these social and political changes in the fanfiction.
A living Lily could be a central figure in the fight against Voldemort. Her survival could mean that she has some unique power or knowledge that can be used to defeat the Dark Lord. Maybe she was part of a prophecy or has some special connection to Voldemort that wasn't explored in the original story because she died.
Lily could be a dragon tamer in fanfiction. Her kind and gentle nature might be what allows her to form a bond with the dragons. She could use this ability to help Harry in his battles or quests. For example, she could ride a dragon to reach a hidden place that holds a key to defeating an enemy.
Lily Luna Potter could play a key role in a fanfiction as a mediator. For example, in a situation where different wizarding factions are on the verge of war due to a misunderstanding, she uses her unique perspective, being part of the Potter family but also a new generation, to bring about peace and understanding.
The MC (main character) can be a new student at Hogwarts. They could be sorted into one of the houses and experience all the magical adventures like learning spells, exploring the Forbidden Forest, and making friends with the well - known characters in the Harry Potter world.
A druid can play the role of a mentor. They can teach the main characters about a different kind of magic, one that is more in tune with nature. For example, they could show Harry Potter how to use natural elements like plants and water in a more effective way for magic.
The theme of family is central. James and Lily's desire to get Harry back is rooted in their love as parents. In fanfictions, it often shows that family bonds are unbreakable. They are willing to go to great lengths, break rules, and face powerful enemies just to be with Harry again. It emphasizes that family is not just about blood relation but also about the deep emotional connection and protection that comes with it.
It can be a plot device. For instance, it could be the reason behind some unexplained disappearances in the wizarding world. If a character has been marked by the Grim Reaper in the fanfiction, it could lead to a series of events where they try to escape their fate.
One role could be as a clue. In a fanfic that combines the two universes, an azalea might be the key to solving a mystery. Maybe it has a hidden message written on its petals in a language only a few can understand. In the Harry Potter side, it could be related to ancient runes, and in Supernatural, it could be a sign from an angel or demon.
A 'little bat' can play the role of a messenger. In the Harry Potter world, owls are the common messengers, but a little bat could be a more secretive option. It could carry small, important notes between characters who don't want their communications to be easily noticed.
They could be the hero. In some fanfictions, a half - giant might rise up against the forces of evil. Their physical strength gives them an advantage in battles. They can break through barriers and fight off dark wizards. Also, their connection to the giant world might bring in some unique elements to the story, like a magic that only half - giants know.
It could play the role of a catalyst for change. For example, its discovery in the wizarding world could start a new era of magic study. The Sky Arcobaleno might inspire new spells or magical techniques.
