snape apologists are like “be still my beating heart his death was so tragic”

and you know what? it was. so let’s create a ‘snape doesn’t die’ au in which he doesn’t get to be the martyr.

severus snape being an asshole even after voldemort dies

severus snape freaking out when he’s told harry named his second child after him “what on EARTH is that potter brat thinking?!” (because he’ll always be a brat, even when he’s eighty)

severus snape having an aneurysm the 1st of september 2015 (he very obviously got demoted from his position as headmaster, but mcgonagall was kind enough to give him back his previous teaching post) because there’s a kid named JAMES SIRIUS POTTER and he looks JUST LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER

severus snape regretting the way he treated harry because now he realizes the poor kid wasn’t like his father at all.  BUT JAMES SIRIUS IS AND HE GIVES HIM HELL. “where can we find a bezoar, mr. potter?” “i don’t know, up your arse?” “potter, detENTION!” “now i get why dad says that sometimes your classes were worse than your boss’ cruciatus curse. you know who i’m talking about, don’t you?”

severus snape being done with everything after arthur tells him “is your scar giving you trouble, as well? i can relate, i was bitten by that snake too” because he wants to say it’s not the same thing, but it is, so he just glares at him.

severus snape losing his shit when he finds out that harry’s kids (who are still very much named JAMES SIRIUS, LILY luna and albus SEVERUS) are a very close lot who like to play pranks on each other (PRANKS!! A kid called severus!!!), share interests despite their differences and love each other very much.

severus snape, alive and non-romanticised
