What if snape was a girl

His sense of self worth was linked to Lily. The next person he latched onto was Dumbledore. Again this was because he perceived Dumbledore to be the only one who had complete trust in him and who defended him against everyone. His devotion to Dumbledore was very similar to that of his to Lily. Again I think it's because Dumbledore made him feel important and therefore needed and worth something.

So I think that if he were to meet someone who genuinely cared for him, and wasn't afraid to demonstrated it, someone who made him feel like he mattered, then yes, he would form an attachment with them. He wouldn't forget Lily, but he would stop being so fixated on her.

He would then transfer his total devotion to this new person. So true, especially the bit about Dumbledore, even if we can feel that his relationship with him is sometimes shaky. I suspect, but that's only my own opinion, that Dumbledore secured his trust in Severus through an Unbreakable Vow, with his brother Aberforth as their Bonder.

Just a theory of mine. But I agree with you : Severus was terribly insecure given his childhood, he could not be otherwise and he needed someone else in order to feel valued and needed, if not loved. LadyNottingham posted over a year ago. Great idea for fanfic though. I don't think that Unbreakable Vows are Dark Magic. But I use it in my own fanfics, I like it so much.

I know this is wishful thinking but I don't care! I'd like to think that this all true , well said nene! LadyNottingham said: Severus is a very devoted man. When he loves, he doesn't do things by halves. I think his devotion to Lily - which I do no think we may call love, but something higher, I do not have the word for it, maybe something akin to the love we may have for God, for example, some kind of transcendental love - is due partly to his difficult childhood, and partly due to his guilt.

I think he would have moved on once the war was over. He would have had his promises fulfilled - protecting Lily's son, defeating Voldemort - and he would have been a bit released from his guilt, and hence from his devotion to Lily. Then, and only then, he would have been able to move on. Loving another woman doesn't mean he would have to forget her. The heart never forgets.

But he would have discovered that loving a person is not something that decrease the love we may have for others. That's why we may love several people at the same time friends and family are a proof of that capacity.

But to love another woman, he would have needed first to be released from his guilt. Then he would have been able to let go of Lily's ghost lingering in his heart and mind. Unfortunately, the sad and tragic outcome of the war as far as he was concerned, did not let him time to discover and expand his huge capacity for love.

Provided a woman would have been able to love him too. It takes a special brand of courage to love a man such as Severus Snape. But what a reward! That's why I love writing fanfics of him paired with an Original Female Character, so that I can work on that aspect. I absolutley agree! Lovley answer! Great answer as usal.

I do believe he would be able to move on. But it depends on what time after the war and whom he met. Love is a naturally complicated thing. I dont think he would forget Lily. Never Ever Ever. He loved her. The war is finally over and Voldemort is defeated. Every thing is as it should be, or is it? What happens when Hermione Granger leaves the wizarding world and lives her life as a normal muggle whilst she's officially gone missing in the wizarding world two and a half years prior and not even Harry, her best friend kno Ariella Cross is back in a brand new adventure.

This time, it isn't a giant snake. It's her ex best friend. While she fights to keep Sirius Black from reaching Harry Potter, Severus Snape fights to keep her from stealing his heart. Plus there's that pesky werewolf problem with Remus Lupin coming to teach at Hogwarts Ally was a normal girl that is till she was shot and killed she was reborn in none other then the harry potter world as Drum roll please Lilly potters sister so with her knowledge of the future her plan is simple give em hell and screw with the plot she falls for a certain bat of darkness no not batman and helps She's in Slytherin, and she's from a well known pureblood family.

She's in her second year and she's joined in the same year as Harry Pot Lily Evans had a best friend named Katie Holt. Katie has been named Harry Potters godmother. But before we come to that we first enter her last year at Hogwarts. Who is her love interest and who is she going to tell that she is a mermaid, besides headmaster Dumbledore who takes care of her like a father should.

How ma Granger's arm shot up over the top of her stall to grasp her towel and his eyes locked on the smooth, pale flesh. Marred by a the scar of a single word 'MUDBLOOD' and he knew, this girl, young woman, she would have a very tough time with both her physical, and her emotional scars. And because she saw to him while he w Hermione Granger, acting Professor of Potions at Hogwarts has been painfully blinded in a potion accident.

Severus Snape has been blinded in a much different way for many years, by his unrequited love for a dead woman. He's been called back to the school, a happily retired, old recluse, to help solve the mystery of ho What happens when you have an inexplicable attraction to someone? What are the rules?

After three years from the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger signs up to be a teacher at Hogwarts. Her love for the school itself and presumably dead Professor Snape drive her to come back but, an unexpected event happens that changes her life forever. Welp, besides that this story is just like another Snamione. Hermione Granger could be considered the epitome of normal, for a witch anyway, after the Second Wizarding War drew to a close.

But what will happen when she's turned into a supposed monster against her will? And how will a certain dungeon git come into play? The feeling in her chest twisted. Ronald Weasley didn't want children. Always : This one's a slow burn. And, as yet, not completed. Hermione didn't know what to expect when she went back to Hogwarts. All she knew was that the new Headmistress McGonagall had sent for her to help restore the school.

She knew that she had saved Severus Snape from death near the end of the terrible Wizarding War, but only she and those currently at Hogwarts knows that When Hermione, Harry, and Ron are caught in Malfoy Manor they are given a choice, Snape will let two of them go, but one must stay and face the Dark Lord.

Hermione, in the end is the one who chooses to stay and soon finds herself living with the dark Potions Master himself. Through trials and difficulties they find th The war is over and she's finally married to Ron Weasley, the man of her dreams Ron hasn't touched Hermione in months and every t Horace Slughorn noted that Lily was witty and charming. Lily was a woman of sound moral principles and would stand by them no matter what it cost her, though her actions sometimes were ineffective.

On at least one occasion, she called out James Potter and Sirius Black for their bullying of her best friend, Severus Snape. When she realised Snape's devotion to Voldemort's genocidal cause of which she was a target at the time and increasingly deep fascination with the Dark Arts , caused her to end her friendship with him permanently. Though she had a sharp tongue and had no problems in standing up to others when she was in a temper, Lily was still the type of person who would give others a second chance when they had proven themselves worthy of it.

The most notable instance of this quality would be how she finally agreed to date James after he had matured out of his bullying ways, despite the fact that she didn't have a good opinion of him during their early school years. Lily's and her husband's most celebrated virtues were their courage and capacity for self-sacrifice: defying Voldemort three times as members of the Order of the Phoenix and even dying to protect their son Harry.

It was noted by Dumbledore that Lily was very much like her son, especially in strength. Her strength is further commented on by her grandson Albus in that she would understand her fate and the fact that she would never see her son grow up. Lily's corporeal doe Patronus. Since even Lord Voldemort was willing to overlook Lily's Muggle-born status and ask her to join him, this is proof that she was a truly powerful and accomplished witch.

Lily had a happy home life and a close relationship with her parents. They were very proud to learn that Lily was a witch and apparently favoured her over her older sister Petunia. Petunia Dursley , her older sister. Lily initially had a close relationship with Petunia, whom she often played with. When Lily began demonstrating magical ability, Petunia was " torn between curiosity and disapproval ".

Her sister was disdainful of the friendship Lily struck up with Severus Snape , the poor wizard who had taken to spying on Lily and informed her that she was a witch. In turn, Snape was quite insulting to Petunia for being a Muggle. When Lily was invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , Petunia wrote to the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore , requesting that she be permitted to do the same.

Although his refusal was kind, Petunia became very bitter and jealously deemed her sister a "freak", even saying that their separation would be better for her safety. Their relationship seems to have deteriorated greatly and become distant afterward, especially after they dated and eventually married very different men.

Despite the bitterness on Petunia's end, the two sisters appeared to still be in contact when Harry was an infant, was said to have " smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent [Lily] for Christmas ". Petunia also grudgingly took her sister's son, Harry in, at Dumbledore's request, after Lily's death. However, even as an adult, Petunia resented that her parents were proud of Lily's magical abilities and took out her enmity on Harry.

James Potter , her husband and father of her son. Lily's relationship with James Potter was initially a volatile one. They first met on the Hogwarts Express just before the start of their first year at Hogwarts , at which time Lily was angered by James' and Sirius Black 's mockery of her best friend, Severus.

However, she didn't hate James, admiring how he stood up for his friends and other people who were cruelly treated by aspiring- Death Eaters. By his fifth year, James started to have romantic feelings for Lily and would show off to try to impress her, without success. It seems that, by that time, James had " deflated his head a bit " and " stopped hexing people for the fun of it ".

By her seventh year, Lily eventually began going out with James and grew to fall in love with him as well. Shortly after their graduation, Lily got married and joined Order of the Phoenix with their friends, fighting at his side several times.

They eventually had a child, Harry James Potter. Her Patronus took the shape of a doe , while her husband's was a stag. On 31 July , , Lily and James' first and only child, Harry, was born. They loved their son more than anything, hiding for months so he could survive from the prophecy concerning his fate with Lord Voldemort.

On Hallowe'en in they sacrificed themselves at 21 years old in order to save him from when he was just an infant. Albus Dumbledore always maintained that the love his parents had for him and in return Harry's love for them was his greatest power. Harry grew to resemble both of his parents greatly, his personality being more similar to Lily's. He also endured mistreatment from Petunia, though much harsher. Harry barely knew them, but nevertheless regarded them with great reverence and fiercely defended their memory if anyone spoke ill of them.

In , he punched Draco Malfoy for insulting his mother, and he was frequently at odds with Professor Snape , who taunted Harry that James was not the great man others made him out to be. An incident that Snape would have delightfully used as an example was witnessed by Harry in the spring of , when Harry accidentally watched James bullying Snape with no provocation other than the already-existing animosity between them in one of Snape's own memories, during his Occlumency lessons.

Harry began to question how his mother even came to marry James when she clearly despised him for acting in such a way, though Remus and Sirius later assured Harry that his father had changed his ways, having matured enough to become Head Boy and eventually win Lily over.

Lily's son, daughter-in-law , and grandchildren. The few times Harry ever saw his parents were in pictures given to him by Rubeus Hagrid , through a vision within the Mirror of Erised , as spectral forms which came out of Voldemort's wand during Priori Incantatem , as stored memories within the Pensieve, and again as spectral forms when he "recalled" them during the Battle of Hogwarts , by using the Resurrection Stone. Lily's spirit was described as looking at Harry as if she couldn't do so enough, and Harry asked his mother to stay close to him as he approached the Death Eaters ' camp and certain doom.

Both James and Lily told Harry that they were tremendously proud of him for being so brave and strong despite all the pain and suffering he had endured, and gave him the support he needed to sacrifice himself to Voldemort.

Harry later avenged his mother when he killed Voldemort at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry eventually named two of his children after his late parents and godfather, James Sirius and Lily Luna Potter , whom was named in memory of her.

When her youngest grandson, Albus , time-traveled to the day before her death he noticed the love in which she placed the blanket over her son and that she clearly treasured and loved her son deeply. Severus Snape , her once best friend. Severus Snape lived near the Evans family when he was a child and soon began spying on Lily after he noticed that she was a witch.

The two became friends when he started telling her about the wizarding world , being excited of attending Hogwarts together. They were best friends until their fifth year at Hogwarts, despite being sorted into different houses. Similarly, both Lily and Severus had a great talent in Potions.

However, Lily became increasingly dismayed by Snape's friendships with people such as Avery and Mulciber , who disdained Muggle-borns and who practised the Dark Arts. When Snape called Lily a " filthy Mudblood " in a fit of anger and humiliation when she defended him from his bullies including James and Sirius , it was the last straw for Lily. When she later asked him if he still intended to become a Death Eater and he did not deny it, she severed all ties with him. There is no evidence to suggest that Lily reciprocated the romantic feelings felt by Snape, but she was best friends with him.

Despite the ending of their friendship, Snape still loved Lily. When he realised that it was Harry who Voldemort had fixated on as his enemy mentioned in the Prophecy , Snape begged him to spare Lily's life. However, he showed no concern for the life of her son or husband. Voldemort agreed to this request and offered Lily several chances to step aside. Her refusal to do so even though she had a choice is what created the magic that protected Harry.

The deep, unrequited love Snape held for Lily for almost all of his life also influenced his Patronus , which took the form of a silver doe - the same as hers, caused him to spy on Voldemort for Albus Dumbledore.

Lily's second grandson, Albus Severus, has both Lily and Harry's eyes and was named in honour of Snape. She disliked them both, as they quickly began teasing Severus, Lily's best friend at the time, though it was Snape who had initiated the argument by mocking the other boys' preference of House.

When Lily and Sirius were both sorted into Gryffindor House she remembered him from the train and turned her back on him when he made room for her at the Gryffindor table. However, during their later school years, they might have become good friends. Lily eventually married Sirius's best friend.

When Dumbledore casted a Fidelius Charm to hide the Potter family from Voldemort, the couple originally wanted to make Sirius their Secret Keeper , knowing he could be completely and utterly trustworthy.

Lily sent him at least one letter written in a cheerfully tone and a photograph of her family during her time in hiding. However, Sirius had proposed that Peter Pettigrew be made Secret Keeper instead, thinking that Voldemort would not expect a " weak, talentless thing " like Peter to be given a such crucial role.

This turned out to be a fatal mistake, as Peter had turned traitor and become a spy for the Death Eaters. Barely a week after the Fidelius Charm was performed, Peter betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort, leading to them being tragically murdered. Sirius was deeply devastated for his friends' death; attacking Peter and attempted to kill him. He was godfather to Lily's son, Harry Potter. They shared an intimate relationship; Harry regarded Sirius as a mixture of friend and older brother, and Sirius viewed Harry as an exceptionally brave and matured adult with rights to knowing difficult truths, fully capable of shouldering burdens that many wizards much older and wiser than he could not.

Lily's relationship with Remus Lupin is not known in the books, although they are portrayed as friends in movies. When Snape insisted there was something strange about Remus, Lily answered that she didn't care about what the Marauders did. Most likely, she had also realised that Remus was a werewolf , but didn't care.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Remus helped James and Lily hide, and would have willingly died for his friends rather than betray them to save his own skin. When James and Lily died, Remus was devastated and initially believed, along the rest of the wizarding world , that Sirius had been a traitor.

Later on, Remus grew close to Lily's son, Harry Potter. Despite Peter Pettigrew 's cowardly nature, Lily became more friendly with him as she warmed to James, even affectionately referring to Peter as " Wormy, " from his nickname "Wormtail. By then, however, Peter had already become a spy for Voldemort and betrayed his dearest friends out of fear for his own life. One time Peter saw Lily and James while they were in hiding, Lily noted that he " seemed down.

After Voldemort murdered Lily and James, it is possible that Pettigrew felt some regret for his treacherous, heartless betrayal. In , Pettigrew unintentionally saved Harry from Lord Voldemort , who was trying to kill the boy through Pettigrew's silver hand , by briefly hesitating when Harry reminded him of his life debt.
