Summary: This idea has been in my head for some time now, but I really don’t want to write it, because, honestly, I lack the skills and I’d love to read it.

Severus adopts Harry after a series of events (of your choice), they develop a loving father-son relationship. At some point, the Potters return turning everything upside down.

Requirements:

Severus adopts Harry:

• Harry must be/have been adopted by Severus. It could be during his childhood with the Dursley's (1-10 y/o), or sometime during his time at Hogwarts (Years 1 to 3).
• There has to be a strong parent-child bond between the both.
• Blood adoption is not a requirement, but it is accepted.
• Abuse from the Dursley’s: Accepted. If used, it must be that it is the reason for Severus to adopt Harry

Harry:

• Gryffindor OR Slytherin Harry.
• No Ron/Hermione bashing, they have to become as attached as they were in canon. Harry has to befriend Draco during his childhood or Hogwarts.
• Relationships: Aside from these, it doesn’t matter. (Het or Slash, that’s up to you)
• Harry/Ginny FORBIDEN
• Harry/Cho Chang FORBIDEN
• Seeker star Harry

Severus:

• Severus must be protective of Harry and a loving father figure.
• Relationships: Het or Slash. No restrictions.

The Potters’ return:

• Lily, James or both come back to the Wizarding World. They may come back from the dead, but it’s not what I specifically want. They could have left Britain thinking Harry dead, because they went into hiding, or for any other reason that you find suitable.
• The Potters may have more children, but only one or two more.
• Severus becomes insecure thinking that maybe Harry will prefer his parents over him.
• If the Potters went into hiding leaving Harry behind, he has to resent them, not forever, but he has to prefer Snape over them. Same happens with Sirius and Remus.
• James being jealous of Harry and Snape’s father-son relationship.
• In regards to Sirius and Remus: Do as you wish with them (*cough*Iwould’tmindsomeWolfStar*cough). I’d like to see them on good terms with Severus and Harry, maybe even teaching Harry how to be a prankster extraordinaire

Dumbledore: mild bashing. He fights Severus over Harry’s guardianship because of the bloodwards. When the Potters come back he has to insist on Harry living with his birth parents

Summary: Severus tries to do something nice for Harry, but it goes horribly wrong.

Bonus points if Snape is motivated by guilt for something. Double bonus points if it happens when he and Harry still hate each other. Triple bonus points if the backlash somehow includes the Dursleys.

No character bashing please. (Except the Dursleys.)

Summary: A twist on the de-aging plot. Harry discovers that, sometime prior to Voldemort killing his 'parents', he had been de-aged back to a baby. Who was he before? Bonus points if he and Severus already had a history.
