There are. A lot of fanfiction authors like to re - imagine Snape's character in this way. One interesting take is when Snape discovers a long - lost relative of his, a young wizard, and he has to step into the role of a dad. He struggles at first because of his usual brooding nature but eventually warms up and becomes a great father figure in the story.
One common theme is redemption. Snape, who had a complex and often dark past in the original series, gets a chance to redeem himself through his fatherly actions. Another theme is the exploration of family. It shows that family doesn't always have to be blood - related, as Snape forms strong bonds with the characters he takes under his wing.
One characteristic is the re - evaluation of Snape's actions. If he's Harry's dad, his protectiveness towards Harry in the original story could be seen in a new light, perhaps as a fatherly instinct. Another is the change in Harry's identity. He would have a very different family history.
Yes, there are some fanfictions with this concept. It's a very interesting and somewhat controversial idea. Some fans like to explore this alternative family relationship in their fictional works as it adds a whole new layer of drama and character development to the well - known Harry Potter story.
Yes, there are such fanfictions in the Harry Potter fan community. Some fans like to explore alternative family relationships and storylines, so they create fanfictions where Snape is Harry's father. It adds a whole new dimension to the story, often changing the dynamics between the characters and how events unfold.
Definitely not. The story clearly shows that James Potter was Harry's dad. Snape had a complex relationship with Harry, mainly due to Snape's love for Harry's mother, but he was not related to Harry in that way.
In these fanfictions, Snape might ignore Harry because of his past with Harry's father. James Potter bullied Snape when they were at school, so Snape could be projecting that hatred onto Harry. It's a simple yet powerful motivation for his behavior.
One possible plot could be that Harry discovers some new information about his parents that makes him see Snape in a different light. However, instead of handling it calmly, he snaps because of all the pent - up anger and confusion. For example, if he finds out that Snape had a more complex role in his parents' lives than he thought. His snapping could involve shouting at Snape in front of the whole school, which then sets off a chain reaction of events that slowly changes their relationship from one of enmity to something more like a father - son dynamic, full of misunderstandings and reconciliations.
Harry Potter and Severus Snape are the central figures. However, the other Hogwarts professors could also be important. For instance, McGonagall. She might be the one who tries to calm Harry down after he snaps at Snape or she could be the one who encourages Snape to be more understanding towards Harry. Then there are the Death Eaters. If the fanfiction is set in a context where Voldemort is still a threat, the actions of the Death Eaters could impact the relationship between Harry and Snape. They could be the catalysts that force Harry and Snape to work together and ultimately strengthen their father - son - like bond.
One possible reason could be that in this fan fiction, Harry has developed a deep respect and a father - like bond with Snape over time. Maybe Snape has been secretly mentoring Harry in potions and has shown him kindness and understanding that Harry has never really received from his own father figure. This has led Harry to subconsciously view Snape as a father figure and the moment in potions class is just when this feeling overflows and he blurts out 'dad'.
