Summary
What if timing had been just a bit different? Where the Weasleys got a ticket to Egypt several years earlier, Sirius escapes when Harry is just about to turn ten, and when he visits him to find he's in the care of the Dursleys, what godfather would leave him there?
With no one from before the war to go to, however, Sirius can only think of one person who can fill all the requirements: Someone he can contact or find, someone who can heal both of them, someone who won't tell the wizarding world that Harry is gone from it's muggle version, and someone who cared for Harry's parents the same way Sirius did. Or at very least, cared for one of them enough to get involved to stop Harry's abuse.
The only one who checks off all the boxes, though, is none other than Severus Snape.Bookmarked by Minerva147

Summary
Harry and Holly are found family, tied by a deep bond formed in a lonely Muggle park when they were kids.
But their world is upended when Severus Snape discovers he has a nine-year-old daughter and claims her as his own. Expecting obedience and a clean break from her past, the frustrated Potions Master instead finds himself locked in a silent war for Holly's loyalty. But Holly looks at Harry like he hung the stars, and Holly and Harry have never been good at letting each other go.
Refusing to tolerate their connection, Snape is determined to prove Harry Potter is a worthless nuisance, only to realise he cannot easily parent a girl who has already chosen her brother.

Summary
Just before his eleventh birthday, Harry is found in a dark London alleyway. He is subsequently taken to stay in the home of one Severus Snape until he begins Hogwarts. Harry isn't quite sure what possessed him to agree to this arrangement, and Severus has no intention of allowing Potter's unfortunate progeny to get under his skin, but this is a Severitus fic, we all know how it ends.

Summary
Set at the start of book five. The ever-busy Dumbledore is a little delayed in sending that howler to Petunia, and so when Vernon insists that Harry needs to leave the house as he's clearly a danger to the family, Harry is packed and down the road with no protest, causing the blood wards to break. The Dursleys instantly become a vulnerable target for Death Eaters, and Harry himself is snatched by a Death Eater, but it's Severus Snape and this is coming from a Severitus writer so you've likely already figured out where all of this is going.
***
Snape didn’t become Harry’s guardian because he wanted to be. He did it because it was the best option they had at the time.
Snape didn’t start giving Harry Occlumency lessons because he wanted to help him. He did it because it’s what the headmaster told him to do.
Snape didn’t grow to care about Harry because he wanted to. He just did.
