The Challenge for January 2011:

Lily revisited



Years ago (we've been around for a while, oh yes!)we had 'Severus and Lily' as a monthly challenge.

[info]alicekinsno1 suggested to take a closer look at Lily's character:

Maybe something that discusses the character of Lily more deeply? I'd love to see what some of your ideas are for just how Lily went from treating Snape so harshly and talking back to James, to being the stereotypical "saintly mother" at the end of her life. There's something about her personality that doesn't add up.

That is to say, how her apparently selfless decision to die for her baby makes sense in light of the way she treated Severus or even James. With possibly a side comment about how despite being so powerful and gifted she didn't really show any of that by dying pleading for her baby's life without even trying to take on Voldemort.

Please post your entries here or in a separate post. I'm looking forward to your entries.
If you have ideas for new challenges, please post them here. (This is a new list, your earlier suggestions are still in the old post).

    Assuming the shade IS the real Lily and not a convenient relection of Harry's desires and aussuming that it didn't know that Harry would be protected...

    Snape on the other hand is very real and alive during the last year and believes for certain that Harry will die.

      He was working with too many unknowns, thanks to his master (the white-bearded one). I suppose he should have kidnapped the trio from the Forest of Dean, held them in some secret dungeon at Hogwarts, Legilimensed Albus' lessons from Harry. (Or perhaps Severus should have threatened Ginny, publicly, to make sure he caught Harry. A bit dangerous, Tom doesn't like independent initiative.) Then once he was done swearing at Albus for the mess he created over the years, set off to hunt Horcruces as well as researching ways to remove a soul-bit from a living being while leaving said being's own soul in place. All the while preventing DEs from killing or kidnapping any students. Not knowing about the Elder Wand he wouldn't know how long he had until Tom decided to kill him. (Someone should write that fic.)

      Who knows, maybe he was researching the Harrycrux problem in his spare time and didn't kidnap the trio from the Forest of Dean because he was not making progress, so the least he could do was not hamper whatever progress Harry may have been making in whatever mysterious assignment Albus left to him.
