My goal is to maintain his essence; I would never dare to turn the dungeon bat into a Hufflepuff. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Hufflepuffs, but I think you get the idea.)

What I’m aiming for is to keep him as the same austere and intimidating Potions Master, the one who delivers sarcastic and cutting remarks, sometimes even wounding with his words.

My objective is to portray him as the same proud Slytherin with a reluctant tolerance for one particularly annoying Gryffindor.

Then, I’ll see if I can write their dynamic the way I have it in my head.

What I can say for sure is that the one thing I absolutely do not want to do is completely distort Severus Snape’s character.

Thank you for this exchange of ideas; I’ve really enjoyed discussing it with you,it’s been truly inspiring!

Thank you so much. I’m really happy that my story has received such a positive response; it’s incredibly motivating and inspires me to write even more. At first, I wasn’t even sure about posting it, so I’m really glad you’re enjoying it.

Thank you so much! I must say, your enthusiasm is really contagious right now. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I think I’ll be able to meet most of your expectations as it aligns with what I initially wanted to write. I think as their relationship develops, I’ll definitely let my imagination run wild. Of course, Snape could never go too far with punishments, given Harry’s childhood, so he’ll have to come up with something more creative (I’m being wicked, but I’m already having fun imagining what I could do).

As for Sirius Black, I’m not a huge fan of him, mainly because of how he treated Severus, and also for other reasons. Regarding whether he survives Bellatrix, I’m still unsure what to do. Bear in mind, we’re in the fifth year, and the battle at the Ministry hasn’t happened yet, so Sirius isn’t dead at this point.

I’m not sure whether to change this plot point; on one hand, if Sirius dies, Harry would have nowhere to go, and Snape could step in and take him in, though reluctantly.

I have so many ideas buzzing around in my head, but seeing what you’d like to read, I’m happy to tell you that you won’t be disappointed.

A greeting from Italy! It’s 2 am here, I don’t know why I’m still awake at this hour, maybe you’re right, I’ll try to switch off my brain lol.

Hope to see you tomorrow with another chapter!
