Summary: Simply show how strong and powerful Snape is. In a lot of stories Harry is more powerful than anyone else, while Snape, who appears to be equally if not more powerful is diminished.
The challenge is to show that Snape is on Harry's level and/or above it, and keep him at that point. Then show Harry's reaction.

Sevitus First Year by jazzy2may2
Summary: During Harry's first year at Hogwarts, Severus is expecting a James look-a-like and instead is faced with a child who looks exactly like himself. He is confused and shocked by this as is everyone else.
How is it James Potter's son looks just like Severus Snape, Half Blood Prince? And so begins the angst and mystery of Severus learning that he is worthy and capable of being a Father, and all that intails.
Bonus: Would like Lupin to be in the story and Sirius too, at some point but it isn't really necessary.

Summary: A single melody, word, or picture can inspire the strongest feelings and memories.
The only requirements are to use at least one of the following quotes/song lyrics/etc. for inspiration. They can be one-shot chapters, or a story with each quote for a different chapter. No pre-Hogwarts please.

- -> Lily's Eyes, from the Secret Garden (replace hazel with emerald, and girl with boy: no girl-Harry fics)
- -> "O Child, can't you hear what love your father bears you? He is certainly proving the enemy of those he should love. - Like the rest of the world. Are you only now learning that every man loves himself more than his neighbor?" Paraphrased from Euripides' Medea (I suggest this for a father/son fic)
- -> What I've Done, by Linkin Park (probably for Snape)
- -> "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of [truth and right, or power and lies]?" by Gandhi
- -> "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." Orson Wells
- ->"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." by L.B. Smedes
- -> Uprising, by Muse [probably against the Ministry, perhaps with House Elves, other magical creatures, muggleborns, etc.]

Summary: Harry gets to see more of Snape's past, traveling back into the past, or seeing Snape's memories. Your challenge: Use one or more of the photos I've linked to below to get inspired. Click on the images to see the larger versions.
Bonus if...
Bonus if...
- Harry gets to see Snape in his 20's with short hair as in one of the pics below where his hair is cut.
- Harry figures out while he's in the past or while he's seeing the past that Snape is his father.
- Harry helps Snape in the past in some way... perhaps he sees how much of a jerk James is and gets Snape and Lily together for a short while... where they end up conceiving Harry? He can have a part in this even if it's unintentional.
- ...the story is more than 5 chapters long.
The rest is up to you! Be creative though. I would love to see the familiar old places and some new ones, and perhaps something new in the fan-fiction universe. Yes, Snape joined the death eaters and yes he is in love with Lily, but try to put a spin on this that no one else has done yet!

Summary: The Hogwarts' age versions of Lily and Severus have somehow come in contact with Harry and have discovered his situation at home with the Dursleys, with Sirus and/or at Hogwarts.
They desperately attempt to protect, to guide, and to change the child's future and parentage. Now only if they could get an older Severus to help them.

Summary: Events transpire that make Hermione Harry's sister and Snape their father - either biological or adopted. This could happen in a number of ways:
(a) Hermione is Snape's daughter (for example, Death Eater rape and oblivation of Hermione's mother in the first war)
(b) Or Hermione's parents are killed by Death Eaters and Snape adopts her
(c) Harry is Snape's son via Lily
(d) Or Snape adopts Harry.
Whatever the case, it comes as a surprise to both Harry and Hermione. How do they react to Snape and to each other?
I would prefer it not take place pre-Hogwarts, so that they would first get to know each other without knowing that they are related or being adopted.
