    Technically, there's no guarantee Snape and Lily's child would be the chosen one. THere's no guarantee the baby would have been born on the same date as Harry. Remember, Trelawney's prophecy could also have applied to Neville Longbottom. If Lily chose Snape, Harry would not exist at all....Neville Longbottom would have become the "chosen one".

    • @Anonymous-in4ed
      @Anonymous-in4ed 5 років тому +199

      True there is no guarantee, but that doesn't mean there is no chance. Snape's betrayal would have already been defying the dark lord twice. (Choosing a gryfindor, and turning his back on his old house mates possibly even hurting them if he joined the OotP.) His last "defying" of the dark lord couldbe anything.
      Lily could have also been the one to do the last defyance. Their child could also still be born around the same time.

      Well for all we know they might have had a girl, or maybe James would have chosen a different woman and had a son with her. For all we know there might be THREE candidates if they were boys born to people who defied Voldemort three times. That's all the prophecy says. The pool gets bigger if more people fight him and survive.

      Yeah no doubt Lucius and the older soon to be DE's were re cruiting like people did for the Hitler Youth. Snape could not have made a more vulnerable target. Bullied, resentful, gifted, a loner, wants power, recognition, and acceptance. How easy it would have been to cosy up to a young Snape, offer him protection in return for hearing them out on their Lord's aims. And I don't buy that Snape's ventures in Dark Magic were maliciously intended. I think he believed that learning about the dark arts, becoming knowledgeable about them is a powerful advantage to protecting people from them, as well as becoming a more knowledgeable person in general. He probably hated dark arts books being censored in the Restricted Section because it kept people from being well informed. I also have a theory that sectumsempra was not malciously created either. I do believe Snape Sr. was very physically abusive, towards Snape and his mother. So I believe he created that spell as a desperate last resort to protect him and his mother. That's the one question I wish I could get JK to answer.

I loved that they had known each other as children and I found it sad that their relationship could have blossomed into something beautiful, whether they became romantically involved or remained platonic. Even maintaining a friendship between the two of them would have been a sweet touch. A Gryffindor and Slytherin.

      Snape was obsessed with his idea of what Lily should be. Lily was a good person and tried to remain friends with a monster that at the age of 11 knew more DARK MAGIC then 7th years! He was also equally obsessed with trying to get a group of students expelled just because the leader of the group had a crush on the girl that he happened to be stalking. He was so obsessed with her that he went to the guy who was in the process of hunting her family down and tried to convince him to save her but kill her son and husband in cold blood in-front of her. It’s amazing that the person who personally put the entire series in motion is made into an angel because at the very end of the series he tries to kind of rectify the situation that he caused.

    I read a fan-fiction once, which had an interesting concept similar to this. In it, everything played out the same as in the regular timeline, until the night of the Potters' murders. This version has Lily surviving Voldemort's attack due to a second pregnancy, the spell causing a miscarriage instead of killing her. Snape enters the house and finds her unconscious. Thinking she's dead, he cries and cradles her. She wakes up during this. The story cuts to James's funeral, and to a conversation between Lily and Snape. He tries to comfort her, telling her she can stay at his house until she gets back on her feet. She accepts, and the story ends. If JK Rowling ever put out a series of "what-if?" novels, I'd like to think she'd take this route.

Though he wouldn't be harry potter .He would have been a completely different person with a completely different set of goals and moral values or whatnot.The only similarity he would have had with harry would be that he was born around the same time as he .The thing that is for certain is he wouldn't have gotten his hands on the invisibility cloak due to him not being a potter .He very well could have met ron or Hermione but whether he would be friends with them is another question entirely and even if he was the entire dynamic between the trio would have been altered to the point that it would have been unrecognisable .There wouldn't have been a trio ,If he does become the choosen one he might have completed all of his adventures alone or on his own if he becomes a particularly remarkable wizard or a wizard on the level of Tom Riddle or Albus Dumbledore .He would have been a more stereotypical choosen one as in being overpowered and highly gifted by comparison to harry

Also, Voldemort himself is half-blood (Witch Mother, Muggle Father). So is Umbitch (Wizard Father, Muggle Mother).

    If Snape's entire happiness was dependent on Lily and he couldn't have been happy and down a better path otherwise, then Snilly is unhealthy. And James and Lily were more compatible anyways aside from Lily only marrying James after he grew out of his bullying.
    More likely, the Chosen One had to be James and Lily's son with the exact same genes. But between James and Lily, the Chosen One would more likely be James's son with another's woman as he's Harry's connection to Voldy via the Peverells and he could still have a son who looked exactly the same with different eyes and the same exact name, Harry James Potter.

    I love “what if’s” like this. It’s intriguing to explore all of the different possibilities, since this story really could have gone so many different ways. There’s something J. K. Rowling said that sparked my curiosity. She once stated that Lily was planning on reconciling with Snape, and even convinced James to try and patch things up with him. She was pregnant with a second child at the time, and wanted to ask Snape to be the Godfather. If Lily and James survived, and Snape accepted this role (even putting up with James so he could be Lily’s friend again), how would that affect the rest of the story? I think it would definitely be interesting to explore.

    No, Snape and Lily weren’t meant to be. Snape got into the Dark Arts and was becoming a Death Eater, which Lily did not support. The final nail in the coffin was Snape calling Lily a mud blood, at which point she realized he was no longer the boy she grew up with and called friend, and wanted nothing to do with him anymore. She could be criticized for “abandoning Snape when he needed her the most”, but their friendship was quickly becoming toxic and she would likely have been seriously harmed or killed if she continued to stay. Voldemort or some other Death Eater would have likely tried to harm or kill her because she was a muggle born, as Snape probably wouldn’t have been able to even at his worst. She could even be criticized for falling for James, one of the boys who was severely bullying Snape. Truth is, James did genuinely care for Lily and changed for the better once they were together. Because of her, he changed to be a better man who became a loving boyfriend, then husband, then father. Meanwhile Snape only grew to be more cruel and spiteful, even jealous as he watched James and Lily’s relationship flourish. Snape didn’t think of Lily when he told Voldemort the prophecy. He only became a double agent for Dumbledore when he realized his actions put Lily specifically in danger. He didn’t care for James and Harry, just Lily even though he begged Dumbledore to hide them all. During Harry’s years at Hogwarts, Snape took out his vengeance on him because he was the spitting image of James except for the eyes, and only protected him because of Lily.

    Neville Longbottom:
    "Am I a joke to you?"
    Yeah, in all seriousnes, you forgot a charachter this story would impact immensly on. There is no guarantee that Severus and Lily would concieve their child in the same timeframe as James and Lily did. There is no guarantee that Severus and Lily would thrice defy him. For all we know, they may not even have kids for few years. Maybe James would meet someone else and their child (Harry) would be the chosen one. But most likely is that chosen one burden would fell on Neville. Now, when Voldemort eventually start to hunt Longbottoms down, I assume Frank and Alice, unlike James and Lily, would accept Dumbledore's offer for him to become a secret keeper, making them safe as long as Dumbledore is alive. I assume Neville would live his life in hiding, maybe even recieve special training from early age to match up with Voldemort. Anyway, there are lot of possibilities from here on, so I will end my take right now.

    The way I see it, Snape and Lily getting together would change how the original story went. It is due to Snape being a death eater that Harry was the hero. When Snape heard that Voldemort planned on killing either Harry, he informed Dumbledore about Harry being chosen. Which causes the Potter’s to go into hiding, thus caused Voldemort to double down on killing Harry as he viewed Dumbledore picking Harry as the prophetic child.
    However, if Lily did end up with Snape then their child would have mostly been the one Voldemort choose. Lily would still still fit as a parent who defied three times. Snape would defy him by refusing to join him, marrying Lily(a muggleborn), and fighting with the order. Combine all that with the fact that Snape was someone he would want makes it all the more likely.

    Voldormort could’ve still been taken down because just because you change his father doesn’t change the time he goes to Hogwarts so Voldormort would have found out that Harry was the chosen ones one way or another and Harry’s not the only person the prophecy was about Neville Longbottom was the other one so it could’ve been the same. But played out in a different way

    If Lily chose Snape over James, Harry would have no connection to the Deathly Hallows. The Invisibility Cloak was passed down from father to son. Lily was never a member of the Peverell family.

    I feel like Harry or whatever they named him and Draco would have been good friends.

    The only reason why James changed was because of Lily. Without Lily in his life he probably would have done what Pettigrew did and sacrifice Snape to have Lily. This would of course devastate Black more than losing James due to him dying as it would be a betrayal by his best friend he thought of as a brother.
    Snape wasn't a bully like James was so he'd probably slip further into the Dark Arts and probably not help Dumbledore out like Snape would have.

      You can shut the fuck up about James, he wasn't a shitty person his whole life. James isn't responsible for Snape being a Death Eater, in fact Snape was already prejudiced against muggles before attending Hogwarts. The only difference between James and Snape is that James grew up whereas Snape didn't, something that an obnoxious Snape fan like yourself will NEVER understand. James was a lot more braver and ten times the person than Snape ever was. Also, James never 'took' or 'stole' Lily from Snape, Snape was the one who drove Lily away. Lily CHOSE to be with James, something you Snape apologist/fans are jealous of.
      The one thing I will say about Snape though is he never really changed. Harry aside, he was a jerk to most of his students, look at how he treated Neville, as far as we know Neville’s parents didn’t do anything to him and yet he’s still an ass.
