AWOL Father by A98

Summary: Severus is Harry's father, but when Lily died (perhaps when Harry was a bit older than he was in canon, so he slightly knows what's going on), he was devastated and turned to the drink, which led to him not being able to take care of Harry, little Harry, of course, wants to stay with his father but after Severus comes to the conclusion that he may end up hurting Harry since he can't control himself, he decides to up and leave, without anyone knowing where he went to, leaving Harry to the care of the Dursleys (whether he knows it or not is unimportant) ... skip to years later and Harry is about to start Hogwarts having grown up knowing his father had left him, but now guess who's back to be his teacher? - The reason Snape spent so long away is up to you, perhaps he was forced to leave to begin with, or he went to stay away for a bit but then couldn't return? -Snape does want to get close to Harry again and he is remorseful but perhaps not so good at showing it (maybe have him send Harry birthday cards while he was away so he wasn't completely out of touch- again it's up to you), Harry is just hurting because Snape left him to the abuse of the Dursleys - Bonus if Snape has made family or met someone while away which makes it even harder for Harry to forgive his father basically adds more angst... - Bonus for Happy endings... I like angst but please give it a good ending!
