Story Notes:
A little idea which came to me as I made salad dressing one day: what if Severus had grown up as the Potter's son and James had been raised by the Snapes? How would their characters, choices and destinies have changed if their souls were switched before birth? N.B. My archangels are rather irreverant, being inspired by Aziraphale and Crowey, an angel and demon in Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens'. No offence is meant to Christians ^^
Caution: I am not a fan of James Potter: the snippets we see of his childhood show him to be someone who is intolerant, severely lacking in empathy and capable of getting kicks from other people's pain and humiliation. Therefore, I'm not going to be charitable in my depiction of his personality. Bullies have something seriously wrong with them and I can't see how a sadistic streak can simply fade out. (I'm giving Sirius and Remus a little more leeway as the 11 year old Sirius seemed quite sweet and capable of adapting to good influences)

Now, thou art thee and I am me,
But whatever should we two do,
If my soul had been meant for thee
And I had thine, my whole life through?
What was, before, destined to be,
May now never come to be true
For I would change thy destiny;
Thou’d have chosen red, I take blue,
As thou opt, now, for Verdigris
And so, Fortune’s Wheel spins anew.
