Severus Snape always did the right thing no matter what it cost him. It was his curse, because it always cost him.

Lord Severus and Lady Aurora Ravenclaw-Prince (nee Sinistra) and their son, Lazuli Acheron (Harry Potter) were happily living together, since Lazuli was four, with the expectation of another on the way when they receive word that the Potters were alive.
