Summary: Harry Potter is into everything he shouldn't be: drugs, drinking, all night parties, lasciviousness, free loading or exuberant spending, falling into a lifestyle he won't be able to maintain for long without killing himself at some point.

The Wizarding World seems content to let him be - except for one man. The unbreakable vow to protect Harry Potter includes protecting him from himself. Severus Snape has to fulfill his hardest duty yet: helping Harry Potter become a contributing member of society.

Summary: What if Harry realized after he defeated Voldermort that things would have been better for everyone if he had allowed himself to be sorted into Slytherin or to be placed in Slytherin at a later date?

What if Severus realized as he was dying or after he died that Harry and he could have had much better lives if he had been less prejudice and seen behind the boy's uncanny resemblance to James Potter? Perhaps it would have been better if he had retrieved Harry from the Dursleys'? Or if he had decided to take Harry in after his first year?
