"One of the characters died. In fact, many are still mourning this person's loss. But what happens when the one who'd so recently been buried returns, not as a ghost, but flesh and blood? Had they really died, or was it some kind of mistake? Maybe it had been imagined, or a vision, perhaps? Maybe, only one person 'remembers' that this character should be dead."

And

"Not long after the after the war Harry visits the Dursleys. What does Harry tell them about the war and what are their reactions? Do Ron and Hermione and Shaklebolt go with him? Harry could breakdown with the loss of his friends."

Written for the Winter Fic Fest.
Severus hasn’t always been a happy man. He’s done bad things, hurt people and spent time in jail. As he looks back on his life, he realizes that the minute he took charge of little Harry Potter, son of the woman he loved like a sister and a man he’d learned to despise, his life changed for the better. If it wasn’t for Harry, Severus wouldn’t have the family that he does now.

Harry has a little problem, followed by a little freak out, and compounded by a confusing conversation with the Sorting Hat, who has special things in mind for him and Professor Snape. A (sort of) Christmas story as a lot of it revolves around Harry's wish for a good Christmas. [About the selected warnings] most of those were just to be safe. The Dursley's and their abuse is hardly mentioned, the corporal punishment is for the way the other students treat Harry (as well as the violence warning), and the limited use of profanity is mild.

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.
