James.  The marriage with Potter is hastily arranged; casual friends

and Sirius the chance to be together without revealing their truth to 
the world and allows Snape, losing his family for the sake of their 
survival, to continue his dangerous work.

Alla:

Please forgive me for snipping most of your post, but I am afraid JKR 
already destroyed the part of this theory, which makes Harry Snape's 
child.

Here is the question and answer from her website:

"Question:

Voldemort is Harry's real father/grandfather/close relative of some 
description

Answer
No, no, no, no, no. You lot have been watching much too much Star 
Wars. James is DEFINITELY Harry's father. Doesn't everybody Harry 
meets say 'you look just like your father'? And hasn't Dumbledore 
already told Harry that Voldemort is the last surviving descendent of 
Salazar Slytherin? Just to clarify - this means that Harry is NOT a 
descendent of Salazar Slytherin."


I think the sentence "James is DEFINITELY Harry's father" answers it, 
no?


Alla,

who used to love "Snape as Harry father" fanfiction stories, but who 
is very happy that such thing is not going to happen in canon. :-)
