The Potters

Chapter 2
Firstly, on finding me by the side of my now dead mother, his sister, I believe that Severus Snape became a very different man. He may only have been young but events of a great magnitude can change your life more than you ever thought possible. I know that we (my mother and I) were due to go to lunch at the Malfoys or perhaps Knockturn Alley, therefore we would have carried on our day as expected. I would have spent time with Nagini as usual and perhaps my father would have pondered about who he should kill maim or torture next. The lingering question remains that there was something that she was running from and both my mother and uncle may have been protecting me and many from it.

Secondly, there is the case of the Potter family. I think that the deaths of James & Lily Potter need no ex-planation however I feel that there is the possibility that either their deaths would have been postponed, therefore leaving Harry Potter more time with his parents (most likely scenario) or that they could have been eliminated all together due to one simple and hidden underlying fact. The love of the two families. If you have read “join the dots” you will see the link. If not, I suggest you read it NOW! It was the death of my mother that set the ball rolling if you like and ten months after losing my mother I also lost my father. Most people understand that Lily and Severus had been friends and more from a young age but many do not realise that James and Severina had also been a couple when at Hogwarts. So, both Severus and Severina would have made strong cases for trying to save the Potters. Getting them into hiding and helping them from both sides. How long that would have lasted I have no idea. Finding out about the prophecy was a high priority to Voldemort and attacking Harry Potter would have been an even bigger one.

I don’t know what it is like to grow up with parents. Well not the real kind anyway so I’m afraid this ends up being pure speculation. Basically, the big events never happened and so everyone is still scared. There-fore, I can only imagine that if people knew who I was they would be scared too. The plan my father had was for us to move to the house in Knockturn Alley or “happy house” as I call it (yes there is a book on that too). I actually see us all being there and can imagine us all fairly happy there. The biggest problem I foresee would be the fact that my mother would still be scared for some reason, my uncle would be more of a death eater, and people would fear Voldemort more than ever perhaps taking over the Ministry of Magic in its entirety. I can imagine my Uncle Severus teaching by this time because it seems as though he was destined to become the “double agent” of Slytherin. I can almost imagine my mother and uncle com-ing up with a plan to hide me in the dungeons and pitching it to Voldemort as a “way to keep her hidden” it would have worked as well. By the time I was 5 I was able to transfigure into anything. Basilisk or book. I could be out of sight and out of mind and he would be happy with that. Unfortunately, I think that the man that would have been my father here would have been much more of an evil parent that I may have grown to resent. Much like Andromeda or Narcissa.
