So, Harry Potter ask here:

This one might sound a bit controversial to comment on, I hope it doesn't bother you. What is your opinion about the narrative redeeming Snape, a former Death Eater (the blood supremacists guys), just because of his guilt and love for Harry’s mother. I see a lot of discussions on this topic (Snape himself is already a controversial character, so I guess it's no surprise there are so many discussions around him), remembering you I got curious to know what your thoughts on this subject.

No worries!

I see Snape as a character who is far and away the most complex character of Harry Potter. Now, HP's a fairy tale in principle, so most of its characters are not overly complex. But Snape is (and so is Dumbledore). But I think some people can have trouble processing complex characters inside fairly straightfoward, simple stories, which isn't necessarily the fault of the story.

While She Who Must Not Be Named has had a lot of "..." takes to her own works (and horrid takes elsewise), I do think she's not wrong about her statement on Snape: that he was a hero, and he was a bully, both at the same time. He just was. There's no excusing his treatment of his students. His heroism and sacrifice without any guarantee that he would be remembered as anything other than a traitor was brave.

So, not only is Snape complex, but he embodies the old adage "hurting people hurt people." His childhood is also extremely hard to read about--it sounds agonizing. Snape does grow up to bully others because he was himself bullied horribly--not just by his peers, but at home, where his father abused both him and his mother.

Another potential stumbling block for Snape's "redemption" is that it gets to the heart of what a redemption is. Is it actually a change in character? Or is it a change in how the reader perceives the character? Because technically, in universe, Snape's been redeemed since before Harry was born. It's just that our reactions to him change after the reveal in the last book. And, he was still hurting people while being a hero. (Antihero?) So, how should we feel about him?

I'm going to say that's exactly the question we're supposed to be asking, actually.

And to determine what asking that question gets us, let's look at Snape as a foil to other characters. Snape is a very good foil for Dumbledore, Harry, and Voldemort. Actually, these four all foil each other quite a bit, and it's in their foilings that we come to an understanding of the story's themes.

Like Dumbledore, Snape is somewhat morally gray. We're meant to ask the complicated questions at the end of the last book, which was all about wrestling with the legacy of heroes who turned out to be very flawed. Snape is cruel to Harry, but is ultimately determined to keep him alive no matter what because that is what Lily would have wanted. Dumbledore is loving and a good mentor to Harry, but does all of this while knowing that Harry would have to die in the end. Snape even calls Dumbledore out on this. Dumbledore also allows Harry to stay in two abusive situations--the Dursleys and Snape--for the ultimate benefit of protecting him... so he can eventually sacrifice himself.

If someone is horrible to you but ultimately determined to keep you alive no matter what, are they a worse person to you than someone who is nice to you and believes you must die, even if they are devastated by this?

This is why I really roll my eyes at people not understanding the purpose of "Albus Severus Potter" at the end. It's so dismissed and derided, but it's narratively perfect. (Especially in! A! Fairy tale!)

The names aren't about Harry and how he feels about these men. They are names that are significant symbolically for showing how Harry has reconciled these two complicated legacies, and will keep reconciling with them because their legacies are literally alive and living on (and the weight of having legacies and the question of whether you're seen as yourself is exactly what The Cursed Child explores.)

In the end, both Snape and Dumbledore achieved their goals: Harry is alive, and he died to vanquish Voldemort. All is well. Their legacies live on in a literal new life, who gets to decide for himself what his own legacy will be in TCC. Meaning, even if Harry acknowledges their flaws, he chooses to appreciate their lives. Instead of being kept in the dark, ignorant about his endgame and ignorant of his mother's history, he sees, and he gets to determine how he feels about it all. It's empowerment, not capitulation. It's maturity, embodying the macrocosm (appreciating the big picture) in the microcosm (a single person). (Also, yes, Dumbledore's "the greater good" struggles with Gindelwald tie into this idea, wherein via Snape and Dumbledore's opposite approaches/reasoning to protecting Harry, we see that the greater good vs the individual is not necessarily a dichotomy after all. So having a character literally embody both in the end is--perfect.)

Snape, Harry, and Voldemort all grew up unloved. The difference is that Harry is able to find himself surrounded by loving friends at a point. Snape is able to find one person to love. Tom Riddle isn't able to find anyone, and hence he becomes Voldemort. That shred of love inside Snape saves not just himself spiritually, but Harry physically. Because love is like that. It's the most powerful magic, after all.

As for the whole idea of showing Snape as redeemable thanks to love--I mean, listen, as someone raised in a cult, people need to realize that people inside these cults--even extremist, evil ones--need someone or something to motivate them to leave. They were a person before their joined the cult (unless you were brought up in it) and they're still a person. Giving someone ties to the outside is exactly how most of them will come to realize they have options. No, not everyone has to forgive them or be willing to extend a hand. We can't be everything to everyone. But if someone can, that doesn't mean they're excusing the inexcusable. They're just recognizing the humanity inside them. And even if no one does, the person in the cult can decide to love someone and leave. It's hopeful. It's a fairy tale, and love wins.

My Top Posts in 2022:

Ugh something that infuriates me about the marauder stans is when they say Harry should have named his second son 'Remus Regulus' or 'Rubeus Remus' or 'Regulus Remus'.

Do they not realize that Harry named his children after the people who have impacted his life in some way or another.

James Sirius- James, whom he's been compared to his entire life. Both the good and the bad. Harry's patronus takes his father's animagus form. And Sirius his Godfather who tried his hardest to be there for Harry despite his own shortcomings and short time together. He did everything for Harry (except when he ran after Peter instead of dealing with Harry but that's a different story).

Albus Severus- Albus after Dumbledore. Dumbledore (despite all the headcanons out there) who care for Harry and was sort of like a father/grandfather figure in his life. Severus after Snape. Snape who literally saved Harry's life more then we all probably realize, who used his last dying breath to give Harry the last piece of information to finish the war. (He quiet literally stopped trying to stop the blood flow once he saw Harry). On top of that remained in a spying position for 17 years. Snape also was childhood friends with his mother.

Lily Luna- Lily after Harry's mother of course. Luna isn't actually in her name to be named after Luna Lovegood. Luna means moon (in some language I don't remember and am too lazy currently to google) so Luna is essentially named for Remus.

I've been itching for awhile to argue with a Tik Tok Snater 👀. I've finally got one so let's goooo.

First of all, James didn't slay, he never did. He was canonically a bully, no matter who they're bullying it's still wrong. Second of all the whole "what sa" or "it wasn't sa" is so wrong. Because it is, it is sa. Saying it wasn't or blaming it on Snape is horrible. I'm not even going to go down the road of the victim blaming that goes on here.

"walking on a corpse to hug a dead girl he was obsessed with"

Girl- calm down. First of all that's movie canon not book canon. Even if it was book canon do you really think Snape would have stepped on James's body, stepped on him?! Like do y'all hear yourself. The man would probably slip and fall on the stairs if he had stepped on him 😂.

What are your thoughts on the fact that marauders stans are essentially taking all of Snape’s character traits and shoving them into Regulus

I love this question 👀.

Honestly it's not even the only character they've done it for.

They've taken Snape's spy position and given it to Regulus

They've taken his abuse and neglect story and given it to Sirius. (Not saying Sirius wasn't abused, he was, they just like to take Snape's story and give it to Sirius as if it's his when he himself already has an abusive childhood)

They've taken The Half Blood Prince's book and claimed it was James'

It's stupid. It's delusional. Like you claim you don't like a character and list all their faults and then give it to other characters.

They claim Snape was still a Death Eater/blood supremacist despite defecting because of Lily. He remained in a position to spy on the dark side for almost two decades of his life. And in the process he started believing in her cause. They claim it's bullshit and call him a Neo Nazi or a Wizard Nazi.

But then.

Then they turn around and say Regulus who defected for his house elf, who was a known blood supremacist, who was obsessed with Voldemort, is not a Nazi. "Regulus black was an abused boy who joined the death eaters to take him down from the inside. He was never a blood supremacist. He was in love with James Potter and was friends with all the marauders"... Like girl no.

They also claim that if Regulus was the spy and not Snape and that Regulus taught potions and was head of house he would have been nice to the students, including Harry and Neville and Hermione. No. Snape wasn't nice because the remaining death eaters wouldn't like to hear Snape playing daddy figure to the boy who lived. Or the child to both a known light family and the boy who could have been the chosen one. As well Hermione a muggleborn, need I say more? He couldn't have been nice because of his position. He would have lost it.

Don't even get me started on the whole "James is the Halfblood Prince thing" anyways I've gotten off topic.

Marauder fans/stans know Snape is amazing and badass but because he doesn't fit into their "hot/attractive" ideology he isn't worth it. So they take his entire life, his personality, his accomplishments and give it to his tormentors (not Regulus).

My final opinion is that it's far fetched and ridiculous. Regulus Black decided to defect in a single moment and when he did he died. If Voldemort hadn't used his house elf to plant his horcrux he wouldn't have known any better and nothing would have changed for him.

James Potter didn't "change" he didn't stop bullying Severus Snape. He just graduated and supposedly never saw him again.

Ok, I think I’ve fixed the names, James Albus Potter, Sirius Severus Potter ( because Harry insists on naming his child after a child hating obsessed git), and Lily Luna Potter can stay the way it is because it’s perfect! I just think that Harry obviously had two levels of names James Sirius being the 1st and Albus Severus being the 2nd, and I always feel bad for Albus because I bet he feels like he got the second hand names. I mean look at it James, my father who loved me so much, died fighting Voldemort to protect my mother and me, Sirius, my godfather who spent 12 years in Askaban for a crime he didn’t commit and when he got out he showed me love and affection and tried to be the best father figure he could and died protecting me. and together they were best friends who pulled pranks together and loved me. Albus my......uh old school headmaster who was really smart and..... I liked a lot but made me live with abusive people for many years and set me up to die alone.... which he never told me, AND SEVERUS, my greasy mean potions professor who constantly verbally abused me with the rest of Hogwarts and who had an unhealthy obsession with my dead mother because he called her a mudblood and she didn’t fall in love with him.....who.... ummmm... maybe I should have let Ginny pick this name.....THE BRAVEST MAN I EVER KNEW(except for my parents, godfather, Remus,the order of the Phoenix, friends, half the wizarding population, and this house elf named Dobby), Ok well I hope all of my children like their names equally..... just maybe don’t look yours up in a history book Al !

Albus: My brother James (the extrovert) and I (the introvert) got separated on our flight. We’re in the middle seats in the same flight row.

Albus: I’ve already apologized to the people sitting next to me like seven times.

Albus: James is sharing beef jerky with strangers and I think he’s now in someone’s wedding.

Word count: 1.4k

Published: 1/4/2022

———————————————

It has been six months since Severus Snape appeared in the Muggle World where he and the people he knows are fictional characters. Thanks to Y/N Y/L/N, they have destroyed the Dark Lord once and for all.

They quickly found and destroyed his Horcruxes - well, except for two which took a while.

It was rather difficult to get close to his snake and kill it. They also had to make a plan so that the Dark Lord killed the boy only to be killed instantly himself.

It has been a tough half a year, but now it’s finally over. The Dark Lord is finally gone, all the Death Eaters are in Azkaban, and everybody lives.

Dumbledore is still alive, Fred Weasley is still alive, and so is Remus Lupin, Dobby the free elf and Hedwig, Harry Potter’s owl. And many, many more.

All thanks to one person - Y/N.

Once it was all over, Snape was sure he would go to Azkaban - but as Dumbledore is alive, the Headmaster helped him clear his name and explain that he was a spy - he was on their side, the Order of the Phoenix.

Right now, Snape is in the Headmaster’s office, drinking tea as Dumbledore and McGonagall discuss the last few months.

“Yes, it has surely been eventful - I am glad that we lost no one this time” Dumbledore says, popping a lemon drop into his mouth.

After taking a sip of her tea, McGonagall nods in agreement. “So am I, Albus. We have the girl that Severus met to thank that for. What was her name again, Severus?” she asks her colleague.

Snape clears his throat. “Her name is Y/N Y/L/N” he replies.

He won’t lie and say that he hasn’t thought of the girl at all these past few months, because he has. He has been thinking of her every day - she’s the reason that they defeated the Dark Lord and saved everyone.

She’s the reason that he finally has peace - he doesn’t have to stress himself anymore. Being a spy had, quite honestly, been horrible. He’s so relieved that it’s over.

Once he’s done drinking his tea, Snape rises from his chair. Dumbledore and McGonagall both look puzzled.

“Where are you going, Severus?“ Dumbledore questions.

Snape doesn’t know why, but for the first time in forever, he lets the corner of his lips turn slightly upwards.

“I did promise to let her know if we defeated him” he simply says before he starts walking out the room.

As he walks down the stairs, he ignores their hushed voices about “bets” and “galleons”.

Once he’s outside Hogwarts, he apparates to the young woman’s apartment. He appears on the exact spot he was seen here last time in her living room.

As he walks towards the doorframe, he stops right in his tracks as he hears singing. It’s the most beautiful voice he has ever heard before.

He decides to walk closer to the sound, making sure he’s hidden.

Once he reaches what must be Y/N’s bedroom, he finds out who’s singing. It’s her. The girl who has a crush on him has such a beautiful voice.

He can’t help but be impressed.

He notices that she isn’t alone - there are three others, all sitting on her bed. They must be her friends.

“Very good, Y/N! I wish I could sing like you” the girl to the left says, looking at her friend in awe.

Y/N shyly smiles at her. “Thank you, but I’m not that good” she says.

The girl to the right chuckles. “Don’t be so modest, Y/N! You are so good! Our performance tomorrow will be the best the school has ever seen!” she exclaims, looking excited.

“I agree. Should we rehearse tomorrow morning before the show starts?” the girl in the middle suggests. They all nod in agreement.

“Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. See you guys tomorrow!” Y/N says, hugging her friends.

As the three girls wave and turn to leave, Snape makes sure that they don’t see him.

While the two other girls leave the apartment, the girl who sat in the middle turns to look at Y/N.

“Hey, are you okay, Y/N? You seem distressed” she points out.

Taken aback, Y/N clears her throat. “Oh, I’m fine. I’m just nervous about the performance” she says, hoping her best friend will believe her.

She has been quite sad ever since Severus Snape apparated back to the Wizarding World. She often finds herself looking at the bookmark he wrote a message on. She always smiles when she reads it.

However, he still hasn’t showed up… She fears the worst. What if her wish won’t come true?

Unbeknownst to her, the man in question is currently observing her and her friend.

“I feel like that’s not it, you have seemed like this for months… You know you can always talk to me if something is bothering you, right?” her friend tells her, smiling.

Y/N smiles back as she nods. “I know that. Thank you, Y/F/N” she says before hugging her. Her friend then waves before leaving.

Once she’s gone, Y/N sighs. She can’t tell her friend what’s going on as she promised Snape not to tell anyone. She just hopes that he’s okay…

“Well, I hope you aren’t too distressed to see me” Snape says, announcing his arrival.

Y/N jumps in surprise, slowly turning around until she’s looking into onyx eyes.

She can’t help but smile, letting a few tears leave her eyes. He’s back!

Snape frowns. “Are you all r-“ he starts just as she runs towards him, hugging him tightly.

“I thought I would never see you again!” she exclaims, nuzzling her face into his chest.

Snape can’t help but smirk. He then gently rubs her back. “I told you I would be back if we defeated the Dark Lord” he says, looking amused. She must really have missed him.

“So, you are going to perform tomorrow, huh? I had no idea you have such a beautiful singing voice” he says, praising her voice.

Y/N blushes at that. “T-thank you… And yeah, I’m going to perform tomorrow with my friends” she says, looking up at him.

He hums. “Well, maybe I will watch the performance. I wouldn’t want to miss such an opportunity to listen to your voice” he says, smirking as her cheeks turn redder.

“R-really?” she asks, stammering.

“Yes, really. It’s the least I can do to thank you. Everybody survived thanks to you” he tells her.

She smiles at that. “I’m so glad that you are alive” she whispers.

Snape chuckles. “I can see that. I can also see that you did indeed not tell anyone” he says, referring to her friend not knowing what was up with her.

Y/N nods. “Yeah. If I told Y/F/N, then she would go crazy. She likes Harry Potter- the story, too. Her favourites are the Weasley twins” she says, giggling.

Snape looks disgusted at the mention of her friend liking those red-haired twins. He may vomit.

“How… charming” he says in a sarcastic tone.

He then clears his throat. “Well, I was going to ask you if you would like to come with me to Hogwarts someday. The Headmaster would like to meet you and thank you personally. You may bring your friend” he says.

He however hopes she won’t as he wants her to come alone.

“I would love to! Maybe I can bring her with me the second time I go there” she says, smiling.

Snape sighs in relief. Thank Merlin for that.

“Well, I should head back now. I do have dunderheads to teach” he says, sighing in annoyance.

Just as he’s about to apparate, he turns around to face her once more.

“Oh, and by the way,” he says as he leans close to her face.

Before she can register anything, his lips meet hers as he kisses her. Closing her eyes, she enjoys the few seconds it lasts.

He then pulls away, smirking. “See you tomorrow” he says before apparating.

Y/N blinks a few times. Did he just do that?

She however can’t help but smile. She’s really looking forward to tomorrow.

Family is Family(unless they're not)

Albus Severus Potter, no wait he hated that name

Al, simply Al.

Al was not the one to get angry or talk to people. He wasn't the most friendly person on the block either. He wasn't a person who confronts people or give them a piece of his mind.

But some of his relatives were really asking for it. Really were.

Arthur Septimus Weasley.

His grandfather, who disliked Slytherins.

Dislike was putting it lightly, he loathed Slytherins. And maybe the reason for that was Lucius Malfoys or maybe the Slytherin Deatheaters locked up in Azkaban.

So when Al got sorted in Slytherin, it was no wonder his loving grandfather started being the distant grandfather to Al, and only Al. Some would say that he's overreacting but Al noticed it. The hugs became less and less, the gifts absolutely none(not that he asked for it)

Well, even then Arthur was polite or cordial, just nott grandfatherly enough Al would say.

Oh but things came to a turn for the worse when Scorpius Malfoy became his best friend.

His grandfather just ignored him, didn't talk to him, no visits, would walk out of the eokm whenever he talked about Scorpus.

To a point Al could understand the anger. The Malfoys were horrible people, the worst. But Scorpius's father had turned to the side of all that is good (Uncle Ron still doesn't trust him), doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

Even the Malfoys?

According to Arthur Weasley, no.

Things got a bit too instense one day.

"And Scorpius-"

"Can we stop talking about him! Isn't there anything new to talk about?"

"But this was the -"

"Oh what's the point! My appetite to eat is gone now. Let me leave and you can talk in peace."

Oh it angered him all right.

Honestly, the taunts and comments were a bit too much. He gets it, his grandfathee is old, he's seen a lot of blood and everything. But it's been atleast 25 years! How much longer of this does Al have to endure?

Enough is enough.

So here he is, at the Burrow, about to confront Arthur Weasley.

Oh Merlin, this is such a bad idea, so many things can go wrong and hus parents would be so disappointed and then-

No, he's going to do this and he's going to make his grandfather understand where he went wrong.

"Grandad, I need to talk to you".

Arthur for his part just gave a grunt but he still looked at Al waiting for him to talk.

Al might have said a lot of negative things about his grandfather but his grandfather was a patient man at times. At times.

This is was one of those times.

"Look I'm been noticing how you ignore me and whenever I bring up Scorpus you make that face, which you're making now exactly. Also I really think you need to let this hatred of Slytherins go."

"Hatred?"

"Yes hatred." Al was trying to be calm but the painful silence made it difficult for him to think.

"I just think-"

"YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO THINK"

It echoed through the room,making Al jump in fear due to the loud noise. He had never heard Grandad raise his voice.

He had heard rumours about the row between Uncle Percy and Grandad and how that was the first time Grandad had absolutely lost it.

"But it's not fair Grandad, you have done nothing but treat me like I'm an outsider to the family and I'm so bloody sick of it!"

Bloody hell, this wasn't part of the plan.

Snapping at Grandad and losing his cool was so not his plan.

"EXCUSE ME, WHAT?"

"You know it's true! You've been distant to me ever since I was sorted in Slytherin-

"DON'T SAY THAT WORD!"

"-and look how you're reacting to my house name! You act as if I-I-I'm this horrible person all of a sudden and-

SMACK!

Al felt pain on his face, he felt a slap.

Grandad has slapped him.

Arthur had slapped him

Al looked up at his Gran Arthur, and even he seemed shocked, but mostly he lookes angry, he looked red, his glasses on his nose and face old. He just looked red to Al.

It wasn't just a light slap either or a pat or anything. It was forceful and it was a loud blow and it hurt.

He doesn't know what hurt more, the pain of the slap or the fact that person was supposed to be his grandfather, his protector and he had slapped him because of the name of his house at school.

Screw family.

Al fled, eyes shimmering with tears and face red and the feeling of the slap on his face.

Arthur didn't even try to stop him.

The Burrow was supposed to be happy, loving and caring. Now it was just a home house full of anger and pain.

This is for @creative-girl, my bestie

SUPRISE!

Voldemort is a pushover. No. He is. If you dont see it youre living in denial.

Nobody except a pushover would let their kid be named the equivalent of Dolphin girl. Bellatrix strong armed him here and he just let her. Every day of his life he looks at Delphini and thinks about what a horrible father he is to her to let her exist with that name.

When he dies and finds out that Harry Potter named his son Albus SEVERUS Potter he feels slightly better about himself.

What I Read in July 2021

Oh, man, this is gonna be a long post. I bookmarked 33 fics, all of them Harry Potter related, with a few cross-overs.

Forget-Me-Not by Lomonaaeron *favorite*

Plot: Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, but his parents still died, and Albus Dumbledore, concerned that Death Eaters might seek the boy’s death, cast a powerful charm on him to make wizards ignore him before Harry was left with the Dursleys. Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was far too powerful, and made others essentially forget Harry existed when not directly interacting with him. Sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, Harry lives a contented life with no one either loving or hating him…until the charm breaks on his seventeenth birthday, and he’s suddenly plunged directly into the middle of a living world at war.

Characters: Harry, Theo Nott, Dumbledore, Neville, Ollivander, Lupin, Rabastan Lestrange, Ron, Hermione, Draco, original non-human characters, Peter Pettigrew, Umbridge

Relationships: Harry Potter/Theo Nott

Warnings: none apply

Tags: ancient runes, socially awkward Harry Potter, Ravenclaw Harry Potter, Harry Potter is not the boy-who-lived, angst, romance, horcruxes, muggleborn registration commission, blood magic

My Notes: I inhaled this in one sitting and then cried for like 10 minutes afterwards, it’s so beautifully written, it became an instant favorite

*complete*

He Turned Around by ChipOfftheOldSoul *favorite*

Plot: When the Goblet of Fire spit out Harry's name that Halloween night, he was told to join the other champions. Instead, he turned around and walked away.

Characters: Harry, Snape, Draco, Ron, Hermione, Victor Krum, Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle, Daphne Greengrass, Fred & George, Marcus Flint, Millicent Bulstrode, Tracey Davis

Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter; Harry Potter & Severus Snape; Draco Malfoy & Severus Snape

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, mentioned homophobia

Tags: book 4, good Severus Snape, good Draco Malfoy, good Slytherins, smart Harry Potter, Dumbledore bashing, manipulative Dumbledore, past child abuse, runes, slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers, Slytherin Harry Potter, Hogwarts House re-sort, no Ron bashing but he’s not great for a while

My Notes: I’ve already read this twice in less than a week period and I cannot wait until it’s updated (hopefully it’ll be updated) and I absolutely love the way it’s written and Harry’s characterization. I also very much appreciate that there won’t be Ron bashing, I’ve read too many Ron bashing fics, but I am here for all of the Dumbledore bashing!

*incomplete* [last updated June 2021]

Stars by LilyIsAwesomerThanYou

Plot: When Snape discovers Harry's abusive past during an Occlumency lesson, Harry panics. Snape is forced to take care of him in the aftermath. Mentor/guardian fic. As always, no slash.

Characters: Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione

Relationships: Gen

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt, depression

Tags: Severitus, angst, drama, past abuse, hurt/comfort, mentor Snape, guardian Snape, occlumency

My Notes: Snape is a dick in this one, and so far he has not gotten any better, just a warning, but there’s some great Harry angst going on here (that’s why I bookmarked it). Yeah, Snape is pretty evil in this one, there’s some victim blaming and just straight up verbal abuse from him.

*incomplete* [last updated 2018]

violet hill by rejectedreality

Plot: Where Harriet Potter is Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes’ soulmate.

Fandoms: Harry Potter & MCU

Characters: Bucky Barnes, Harry Potter, Steve Rogers, Hermione, Ron

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, emotional/psychological abuse

Tags: fem!Harry Potter, soulmate-identifying marks, age difference, angst with a happy ending, it gets worse before it gets better

My Notes: this is so, so, so fucking beautiful! I am straight up in love with this fic, and I am so sad that it hasn’t been updated for a few years because there was so much potential. There are some hints at underage couples, as Harry’s 15 while Bucky and Steve are adults, but nothing actually happens.

*incomplete* [last updated 2017]

trapped in a blue haze by MourningElegance

Plot: “And in that moment, Draco knows. He knows that all his deep-rooted suspicions about Harry’s childhood are terribly, horribly true.” As their relationship grows, so do Draco’s misgivings about Harry’s past.

Relationships: pre-Harry/Draco; Severus Snape & Harry Potter

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: Slytherin Harry Potter, Good Severus Snape, good Lucius Malfoy, good Narcissa Malfoy, manipulative Dumbledore, POC Harry, animagus transformation, wizengamot, politics and culture

My Notes: YA’LL! This one is so cool! It’s going under some major maintenance at the moment, so it’ll be a bit of a wait until it gets going again but I recommend reading it immediately before the changes get enacted. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Harry’s a BAMF in this series, especially when we get to book 3

*incomplete* [this is a series, first three parts are completed, last updated February 2021]

Fighting for Freedom by dreamsofmermaids

Tags: Dumbledore bashing, Weasley bashing, Hermione bashing, Harry runs away, Snape bashing, not so evil Voldemort, trouble magnet!Harry

My Notes: this one is really good and it features a Harry and Dobby friendship. I’m gonna spoil it right now, Hotchner is Harry’s dad, I hate it when it doesn’t state it in the tags

*incomplete* [last updated February 2021]

The heir of something or other by diregewithoutmusic

Plot: When kids in the Slytherin Common Room tossed jeers at the pudgy feet of Millicent Bulstrode, Harry rose up to do something about it. This Harry, now one of Snape’s own, got fewer House points lost but many more detentions– it had never been the colors on his hem that Severus hated. This was not wishing Harry an easy path. This was not wishing the boy a warm House. This was Harry, three weeks in, sleep deprived and considering running away and going back to Privet Drive. This was Harry in the back of Potions class, blank-faced under Snape’s disdain the way he’d perfected under the Dursleys’s torments. When Quirrell shouted “troll in the dungeons, thought you ought to know,” and Harry overheard that there was a girl in the bathroom crying, he still ran off to make sure she got out okay. He hesitated first, at the back of the little pack of Slytherin first years (at the back so that no one could get behind him)– he hesitated. And Millicent Bulstrode, who could never quite keep her tummy tucked in enough, could never brush all the cat hair off her robes, never quite keep her temper in check, hesitated, too.

Characters: Harry, Millicent, Colin Creevey, Hermione, Dennis Creevey, Luna, Ron, Draco, Astoria, Daphne, Pansy, Neville, Susan Bones

Relationships: gen

Warnings: major character death

Tags: Slytherin Harry, canon typical violence

My Notes: this made me cry. It like actually made me cry. I don’t cry when I read fanfiction, but this one actually made me cry, it’s been two weeks and I still feel like crying thinking about this fic, but that being said it’s written so beautifully.

*complete*

Conditionally by Lomonaaeren

Plot: Harry finds out that he's Snape's son. It goes as badly as possible.

Characters: Harry, Snape, Dumbledore, Sirius, Hermione, Ron, Seamus, Umbridge, Rita, Neville, Voldemort

Relationships: minor Lily/Snape; Harry & Snape; Hermione & Ron & Harry

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, suicidal thoughts, minor character death

Tags: Severitus, present tense, powerful Harry, Snape is Harry’s biological father, unhealthy coping mechanisms, independent Harry

My Notes: wow this one made me so mad for Harry. Sirius and Remus are not Harry’s friends, nor Dumbledore. Be warned, as good as this fic is, you will be very angry at all the adults in this fic. Snape isn’t a loving father type, and their relationship isn’t the greatest but it’s better than nothing by the end.

*complete*

Harry Potter and the Secrets Within by WhoWroteThis

Plot: Harry Potter is a very special, but very abused little boy. When a giant drags him into a world unknown, he'll need all the help he can get to understand his newfound belonging. Lucky for him, he has a snake, a dragon, and a horde of protective allies on his side.

Characters: Harry, original animal characters, Snape, Draco, Lucius and Narcissa, Portrait Salazar Slytherin, Basilisk, Blaise, Hogwarts ghosts, Quirrell, Voldemort

Relationships: Harry & Voldemort; Harry & Draco; Harry & Snape

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, internalized homophobia, implied/referenced alcohol abuse, suicide threats and thoughts

Tags: Harry Potter needs a hug, parseltongue, Harry Potter has a pet snake, powerful Harry, metamorphmagus Harry, good Malfoy family, Slytherin Harry, slow burn, Slytherin politics, Hagrid bashing, Hermione bashing, Ron bashing, Dumbledore bashing, rituals, centaurs, dragons, cats, snakes

My Notes: I will literally never be trustworthy of the basilisk after reading Antithesis but I have to admit the basilisk in this fic is pretty great

*incomplete* [last updated August 2021]

The Tainted Blood of the Father by StarLight_Massacre *favorite*

Fandoms: Supernatural & Harry Potter

Plot: Harry has broken away from his chains after the Dursleys go too far. A simple desire to make a withdrawal from Gringotts leads to something much larger and exposes more than he ever knew about himself. A rushed, impulsive trip to America changes his entire life as he might have just found himself a true family to call his own.

Characters: Harry, John Winchester, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Bobby

Relationships: Gen

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, implied/referenced child abuse, attempted sexual assault

Tags: Awkward Winchesters trying to deal with Harry, cinnamon roll Harry

My Notes: The dynamic between Harry and the Winchesters shouldn’t work this well, but they absolutely do. Harry is a little Sam, he acts so much like him it’s so cute and everyone finds it so cute. Really great amount of angst and hurt/comfort. Doesn’t deal with the wizard side of things that much but I expect that’ll change in the upcoming chapters. Author has stated they don’t know if the Winchesters ever will find out that Harry’s a wizard, however, so keep that in mind

*incomplete* [last updated April 2021]

On a Pale Horse by Hyliian

Plot: When Dumbledore tried to summon a hero from another world to deal with their Dark Lord problem, this probably wasn't what he had in mind.

Characters: Harry, Death, Dumbledore, Hermione, Remus, Voldemort, Ron

Relationships: Gen

Warnings: none

Tags: master of death Harry, dimension travel, summoning rituals gone horribly wrong, godlike Harry, Dumbledore bashing, crack treated seriously, does major character death count as a tag when the major character is Death?

My Notes: so absolutely creepy, I love it so much, our Harry is not really all that much like Harry at all because he’s an immortal eldritch being of horror

*incomplete* [last updated 2018]

tell me whether he is dead by LullabyKnell *favorite*

Plot: Harry suffers a few side-effects of dying but not dying. “Hey, can someone help me with this? The mirror in the bedroom’s stopped working for me. “What do you mean ‘the mirror’s stopped working’?”

Characters: Harry, Ron, Hermione

Relationships: Harry/Ron/Hermione

Warnings: none

Tags: post-canon, epilogue what epilogue, post-battle of Hogwarts, post-Deathly Hallows, haunting, implied/referenced character death, gen or pre-slash, fluff and angst, oblivious Harry, master of death Harry

My Notes: so fucking brilliant, this author literally never misses, the relationship between the golden trio is so fucking cute and I love them so much

*complete*

A New Place to Stay by DebsTheSlytherinSnapeFan *favorite*

Plot: Harry Potter is called up to Dumbledore's office and told he was being moved elsewhere to keep him safe. He no longer has to stay at the Dursley's, but Dumbledore tells him he has to stay with Severus Snape. For a few days it seemed like a bad idea. Until Severus Snape uncovers the truth of who Harry Potter really is and what he's been through. Watch as Severus does as nobody else has done before him. He takes care of Harry. Watch him flourish into who he was meant to be, a boy with the heart of a Gryffindor and smarts of a Slytherin. The Dursley's, Umbridge and Dumbledore had better watch out Severus is out for revenge. Spy or no spy, Severus is not allowing anyone away with hurting Harry.

Characters: Snape, Harry, Dumbledore, Neville, Luna, Hermione, Ron

Relationships: Gen

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: Severitus

My Notes: I’ve read so many of these types of fics that even though this is more than 300k words I can’t remember a single thing about this but it must’ve been good because I labelled it as favorite, so

truth’s like blood underneath your fingernails by Choices_We_Make, questionsthemselves

Plot: "Slytherin would do well, help you on the path to greatness," the hat seems to be coaxing him, but for something that can read his mind, it sure doesn't seem to know him very well. Harry doesn't want greatness. He doesn't need his name in lights and on everyone's lips. He wants meals, hot ones, whenever he wants, with people that he likes and that like him. Friends he can have adventures with, huddle under the blankets with at night and laugh with. People who might think… think he's worth something. In which Harry is sorted into Slytherin, and Snape deals with the fallout.

Warnings: PTSD, suicide attempts

*incomplete* [last updated June 2021]

Another Mind Game by May_May_o_o *favorite*

Plot: Harry’s occlumency reveals his disturbing home life which sets off a chain reaction that cannot be undone. Snape finds himself begrudgingly caring about the bespectacled boy, Harry discovers what it's like to have adults who care, and Hermione finds herself becoming an accidental crime lord. Draco Malfoy is very much along for the ride, in all senses of the word. A ridiculous blend of hilarity and tragedy, Another Mind Game is the multi-faceted fanfiction you didn't know you wanted but will absolutely adore. Featuring a sassy Harry Potter, good friends, and a great deal of sarcasm.

Characters: Harry, Neville, Hermione, George, Fred, Snape, Ron, Luna, McGonagall, Dumbledore, house elves

Bruised Words by starknjarvis

Plot: After Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides it's not safe for Harry to spend the rest of the summer at the Leaky Cauldron, and instead sends him to stay at Spinner’s End with Professor Snape.

Characters: Harry, Snape, Dumbledore

Relationships: Harry & Snape

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: traumatized Harry, miscommunications, Snape adopts Harry, sickfic

*complete* [part of series, incomplete, last updated 2020]

The Freak Who Lived by DeviantHufflepuff, Zaharya

Plot: When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he is kicked out of Gryffindor Tower by those he thought of as friends. It isn't until Snape finds him that the truth comes out about The Boy Who Lived.

Characters: Harry, Snape, Pomfrey, McGonagall, Viktor Krum, Fleur, Cedric, Draco, Neville, Blaise

Tags: book 4, Severitus, Snape adopts Harry, panic attacks, seer Luna, Harry needs a hug, McGonagall is basically Harry’s mom, manipulative Dumbledore but he’s not evil, big brother Draco

My Notes: Snape is pretty cuddly in this one, he’s not shy with feelings and showing Harry that he’s loved which is nice and a nice change from other Severitus fics. Don’t be off-put by the age regression tag, it’s super low-key, there’s only a couple throw-away lines about it.

*incomplete* [last updated February 2021]

Stinging Nettle and Milking Pails by Oceanbreeze7 *favorite*

Plot: Are you a witch or / Are you a fairy? / Or are you the wife / of Michael Cleary? “The fairies will do wicked things sometimes,” Harry murmured gently, “Steal the milk when they get a chance, or skim the cream off the milk crocks.” “Do they ever steal anything more?” Luna asked him rhetorically. Harry couldn’t answer.

Characters: Harry, Luna, James, Lily

Warnings: author chose not to use warnings

Tags: wrong-boy-who-lived, Harry has a twin, dark fairy tale elements, fairy tale style, druids, fae and fairies, James and Lily live

My Notes: Oceanbreeze7 should straight up be a horror writer. This is the writer who wrote Antithesis, the fic that I was literally unable to finish because I was too heartbroken, and they did not disappoint with this one! It’s so good! It’s so horrific! It’s so heartbreaking!

*complete*

Sarcasm and Slytherin by orphan_account *favorite*

Plot: After ten years of misery with the Dursleys, Harry Potter learns that he has magic. Except, in this story, it's not a surprise-the only surprise is that there are others like him. Including his twin brother, Julian Potter, the savior of the Wizarding world. This isn't the Harry you think you know.

Characters: Harry, Theo, Blaise, OMC, Hermione, Ron, Neville, James Potter, Luna, Daphne, Snape, Dumbledore

Relationships: none

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: wrong-boy-who-lived, Slytherin Harry, Harry has a twin, Slytherin politics, no pairings before 4th year, potential Dumbledore bashing, James bashing, potential Snape bashing, Draco’s still annoying

My Notes: I’m not sure why it’s now an orphan account or if it will ever be updated, but I’ve seen a lot of people on reddit compare this with Prince of Slytherin (a series I haven’t read because I chose this one over it) so be cautious of that. I straight up want to murder James Potter, though, so that’s a nice thought. I finally finished it! I started this back in early June and I miss it a lot, I spent many hours reading this.

The ones that seek and find (six years in the relationship of harry and luna) by Terapsina
