I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death..." So why didn't Snape ever bewitch the mind, ensnare the senses, bottle fame, brew glory, or stopper death? Or did he?

Prompt: Guest Art Summary: Having a (severe!) teacher for a parent is not always fun... Notes: I know, I know – Snape and His Daughter, the idea has been the source of many a horrible fanfic. But it happens to be one of my favourite things to speculate about. It’s just so much fun! I am convinced that Snape would be a responsible and concerned father. But a nice daddy? Never! He’d be much the same with his own children as he is with his students, I think... Only even more demanding. (“...And You Will Eat Your Sprouts!”) @ DW (“...And You Will Eat Your Sprouts!”) @ LJ
