Shadows of the Past by Pheonix_feather

Summary: After a severe accident at Hogwarts leaves Harry Potter incapacitated, he is placed under the care of the stern Potions Master, Severus Snape. Both are reluctant participants in this new arrangement, but during Harry’s recovery, a shocking truth is unveiled: Snape is Harry’s biological father. This revelation forces them to navigate their deep-seated animosities and painful histories. As Harry faces bullying and animosity in Slytherin, Snape struggles between his duty and emerging paternal instincts. Over time, they begin to understand each other, learning that true family bonds are forged through care and choice, not just blood. Despite the tension and challenges, their relationship transforms from one of mutual disdain to a fragile, yet genuine connection built on respect and newfound affection.

Hi All, Thanks for your comments. Please let me know if you have any opinions and if you feel that Snape's character is too harsh. I am trying to convey his conflicting emotion where he is still seeing Harry as James's Potter spawn whilst his mind his trying to wrap itself with the idea that Harry is his son instead.
