Potions and Snitches :: Snape and Harry Gen Fanfiction Archive

Summary: Severus Snape has a twin who is different than he is. It's an identical twin but has a different personality. Somehow Harry encounters this twin either at Hogwarts or out in the world and somehow this leads to Severus Snape having a different view of Harry. You decide all the details. No slash. If you're looking for a challenge where Harry has a twin, see the Potter Twin challenge by me.

There are so many possiblities here. Some ideas are:
- Both twins teach at Hogwarts and Severus is still Potions Master.
- Severus still has a very negative opinion of Harry as in canon and can't see why his brother doesn't hate the Potter brat.
- Harry may be Severus' twin brother's child and they have just found this out. Maybe his twin dies part way through the story or disappears and uncle Severus has to take over and re-evaluate his position on Harry. Or maybe his twin wants nothing to do with his child and Severus feels like he as the boy's uncle should take responsibility for him however irritating and infuriating the child is and clothes him and gives him shelter?

However different Severus' twin brother is, Severus Snape should stay in character to the best of your ability as a writer, and whatever change that takes place within him for the good or bad should be believable and gradual.
