There You'll Be by Emsa starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 45] New!

Severus Snape was perfectly happy with his life. Sure, working for the Dark Lord was horrific, his home was a hovel, and his personal relationships non-existent. Yes, he definitely was happy. That is, he was, until an unexpected visit from an alternate universe self turned everything on it's head. Surely there was no universe in which he had adopted Harry Potter?

Or:

Harry Potter finds the family he always longed for. Sometimes salvation comes from the strangest places.

Challenge: " Mirror Mirror" Cannon Snape comes face to face with a version of himself from another universe. A universe where he raised Harry Potter.

Cripple Me by krosi starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 172]

An eventual Snape adopts Harry story. Beginning in Harry’s first year.

“The Ministry takes a vested interest in ensuring our young witches and wizards are as safe as we can make them and you, dear boy, are very important to Minister Fudge.” Professor Umbridge said, simpering in a self-satisfied way as she said Fudge’s name. “So I must ask you where you’ve been this last August?”

Harry coughed into his tea and nearly spilled it over himself.
