Summary: Snape has no or very little magic. This is why he put all his focus onto potions during his own Hogwarts years; he never wanted to be the laughingstock when people realized he was basically a squib. Now, as a professor, he can get away with intimidating students and the only magic he needs to do publicly is light a fire under a cauldron.

Requirements:
  1. Harry finds out that Snape is basically a squib
  2. Voldemort doesn't know about Snape's magical ability
  3. No enemies Harry and Draco. I'd like it if they were dating or at least friends but they can basically ignore each other for all I care. Just don't make them enemies.
  4. No Harry/Ginny or Harry/Hermione or Harry/Cho or Harry/Luna or Harry/Severus or Harry/Voldemort -- honestly it doesn't have to have a romantic pairing at all but if you do, none of these!

Suggestions:
  1. Maybe Snape created a potion that temporarily gives him a magic boost for when he knows he's going to need to do something big in public
  2. Think about how does Harry find out? He's not the type to use it against Snape or to spread it around but Snape definitely wouldn't trust Harry to keep it to himself. So how does Snape deal with Harry Potter of all people knowing his most personal secret?

Summary: Throughout his many detentions scrubbing cauldrons, Harry often sings to himself without realising. Snape would usually find this infuriating. Yet he doesn’t. Because Harry actually has quite a lovely singing voice.

Summary: Circumstances of your choice lead to Harry and Severus sharing gas station softserve and discussing horcruxes and the prophecy.

Summary: Either Harry or Snape has a concussion.

Summary: Crossover/fusion with Call the Midwife. Plot is author's prerogative, but it must have Sister Evangelina yelling at the Dursleys (and possibly Snape) for their treatment of Harry.

Summary: The Weasley boys come rescue Harry the summer before 2nd year, but they dont quite make it home. They crash into Snape's backyard. The 3 Weasleys are sent home, but Harry, as a consequence of "his" recent display of magic, must spend the rest of the summer under Snape's charge. Neither one is happy about it.

Summary: Write a fic in which Harry is some kind of creature that exists in canon BUT has not (as far as you can tell) been used in a fan fiction before. So we're talking goblins and merpeople and Veela rather than vampires and werewolves.

If you choose the half- or part-creature route, it's fine if the other part of him is human or something not as original.

Summary: Lily lives, but only for a few years (then character death, up to you how). When Harry is around 6 (age flexible, but must be pre hogwarts) she reconciles with Snape and they marry. Shortly thereafter she passes away and Snape is left with the boy. They do not get along. Harry is a bit spoiled, jealous and defiant towards Snape. Snape sees James in the boy, is scared of letting himself feel anything and is quite strict and reserved with his emotions. I'm picturing a darker story with a lot of angst/tension in their relationship. Snape is not abusive, but pretty close to it.

The aftermath of Lily's death could involve a period of Harry living with Petunia while Snape figures out what he wants to do. Before Hogwarts Harry must come back to Snape though. They reach a breaking point and it's decided that family counseling will be the best option.
