Snape is an Auror by Kbharlow

Summary: Instead of going to Dumbledore when Lily is threatened, Snape goes to the Auror department (not to the head of the department, Crouch, someone else he knows and can trust, up to you) to protect the Potters. They also ask him to spy, essentially making him a magical 007, highly classified, and start a magical black ops department (MI7?). When the war is finished, they blackmail him (OR stop him from committing suicide by giving him a purpose to keep another dark lord from rising, OR make it a condition of his staying out of prison - your choice) into staying on, putting him into his own "CSI" like department. In this department he frequently interacts with the Muggle side of the law, assisting them in "weird" (according to Scotland Yard) crimes using his unique set of skills in potioneering, spell creation, dark arts, and spying. As part of his liaison work, he frequently gets pulled into accidental magic cases of muggle-born children that are being abused. Kids whose magic defends themselves in 'interesting' ways. This part of his work brings him into contact with Harry when his accidental magic defends him. Now he hasn't been working with Dumbledore at all, hasn't been sworn to protect Harry, and hasn't been told that Harry has been pampered for years. How does he react? How does he handle the case? I'm envisioning a story primarily from Snape's point of view, maybe in a gritty cop-type story/film noir feel with a dash of spy drama thrown in at the beginning and throughout. Does he continue to spy after the war? If your story goes on long enough, does he go back to spying? How does the liaison position work, is he great at blending into the muggle world as well? Does he spy for the Muggle Government as well? The world is wide open, have fun.
