Removed subjective comment (but I happen to agree) - hope you don't mind
Jan 7, 2012 at 18:45 comment added Slytherincess @DVK - I definitely think he looked after his Slytherins, yes. (It's not like Dumbledore did. . . yeah, I'm still bitter over the patently unfair loss of the House Cup in SS/PS. . . ) (And, yes, I know Dumbledore took great care with Draco during HBP -- don't get me wrong. I think Dumbledore is an amazing character!) I think Snape would not be an overly affectionate parent, but he would definitely be the kind of father a kid could go to if he/she sprouted antlers, accidentally drank hemlock, or was failing Potions. He'd be utilitarian, I think. But perhaps Lily would have influenced him.

Jan 7, 2012 at 18:07 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To @Slytherincess - I didn't say "ideal" :) And he most certainly wasn't extra authoritarian with students in his house which is a lot more of an indication of his possible parenting style than his relationship with Gryffindors or Harry.
Jan 7, 2012 at 17:52 comment added Slytherincess @DVK - I suppose if one believes in the authoritarian (as opposed to authoritative) parenting style, then Snape would be an ideal father!
Jan 7, 2012 at 17:47 comment added Slytherincess @Pureferret -- Although if Snape had played his cards differently, perhaps things might have gone a different way. From a web chat: Jaclyn: Did Lily ever have feelings back for Snape? J.K. Rowling: Yes. She might even have grown to love him romantically (she certainly loved him as a friend) if he had not loved Dark Magic so much, and been drawn to such loathesome people and acts.

Jan 7, 2012 at 17:29 comment added AncientSwordRage It's the line "There is nothing in canon that states Snape had children" I was after. Thanks both of you though. Glad I'm wrong!
Jan 7, 2012 at 17:28 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To Um. Why? I think he'd make a wonderful parent. Better than a lot.

Jan 7, 2012 at 17:19 comment added Slytherincess I think it's just as authoritative, as you are spot on in your answer. The very idea of Snape attempting to parent is beyond comprehension >.< :)
Jan 7, 2012 at 17:07 comment added DVK-on-Ahch-To Hey, no fair cheating and using Word Of God :) +1, and hope Pureferret accepts this answer as it's a lot more authoritative than mine.
