Professor Grunge, indeed :-)
AHhahahaha! The overtones of "Mr. Holland's Opus" - and all my memories of the Pacific Northwest - had me cracking up. And little "Lily Sue" Potter - now there's a name every bit as doofy as any family of James Potter would be. But then, Severus has a "Missy," OMG.
Love the connections you draw between bullying and misuse of the Dark Arts! And between magical healing and music. Although I must admit, grunge always struck me as being less like healing than the Dark Arts... possibly even an Unforgivable. Certainly nothing like magic. :D
But a Severus who can imagine lolling about the campus lawn smoking dope and Transfiguring my textbooks into bongs has definitely got the Seattle spirit!
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! I can just see skinny Snape in black grunge clothes - waving his baton. Er, wand. Er... Hmm.
