Potioncat:
I don't think canon supports this. Young Severus always treated Lily withrespect, Teen Sev's worst memory is calling her a Mudblood (and losiing her). He seems to have honored her wish to end their friendship---nothing in canon
suggests he bothered her in any way. He didn't seem to be stalking her as a young adult, and probably ddn't know she was in the Order.

I think her really wanted her to live for no purpose but to live.

I can't begin to explain why he didn't include her family when he spoke to DD, but he certainly couldn't ask for their lives with LV.

Imperio and enjoying her in bed is a speculation, but it is based on
Voldemort's words. Who is of course so often a liar, but hey there are instances
in canon that he does speak the truth, so why cant this one be the one? :)

Potioncat:
I'm sure you wouldn't have to go far to find this plot in a fanfic.

Sorry for the double post, I forgot to tidy up and forgot to answer the second part of Alla's post before I sent.
