“Do you like it?” Severus asked, feigning nonchalance. “I know it’s not the same color, but they were all out of brown…”

“Are you sure they were out of brown or are you just incapable of buying something in a color other than black?”

It was still a touchy subject, then.

Severus may have kind of, sort of, inadvertently yet possibly purposely murdered Harry's teddy bear. So he does what any decent Potions Professor/Psycho Guardian Angel would do and replaces it, obviously. Whether or not it's enough for Harry to forgive him remains to be seen.

"Twenty some odd children and yet you’re the only one who comes back into the castle with frostbite.”

Harry sighed. So they were back on that.

“Look on the bright side. At least I came back at all.”

Professor Snape scowled. “You are not nearly as humorous as you believe yourself to be.”

OR

Turns out, the Dursley's weren't too happy with Harry for blowing up Aunt Marge. Harry finds himself on the streets of Muggle London.

The year was 1988, and on one quiet Sunday morning in the early days of a blisteringly hot July, the Dursleys departed from Number Four Privet Drive. This, by itself, was of little consequence. They habitually went to church most Sunday mornings. Except... this time they simply didn't return.
