Another Snape/Lily person! Yaaay! was Snape and the Malfoys (was Re: Harry's Putative Death)

'If, according to one of the earlierst fanfic theories, Snape loved 
Lily (and really, it WOULD explain a lot - like the fact that he is 
quick to insult Harry's father but NEVER, EVER insults his 'parents' 
or his mother - and he would have known her, being in the same year) 
then yes, I imagine it would have been unrequited.'

But why automatically assume that this is soap opera-ish? what makes 
something corny is not the story but the way it is told.  There are a 
great many sappy Snape-Lily stories, but the problem's with the 
writing, not the idea.  Romeo and Juliet would be soap opera by that 
rule.

I am the proud author of a perfectly cruel, cold, bleak Snape-Lily 
fic (in which she never knows).  It's called 'To Sever the Lining 
>From a Cloud' and can be found at Sugarquill and Schnoogle. It owes 
more to Oscar Wilde and Hans Andersen than to Rowling, and I kept the 
sap to a minimum by having having a heartless narrator.

I like the idea of Snape preferring to live with his bitterness than 
learning to be happy.  I think his suicide note would read 'Best 
subjects, Potions and Arithmancy; Worst subject, Life.'
