Not necessarily, if you mean he'd have crushed on her. Unhealthy obsessions do not per definition transfer to the next generation.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought OP meant that at first, too, but on re-read, I think they're saying that if Harry was a girl and Snape still treated Harry the same way, that THAT would creep them out more than his behaviour does as is. I think? Not sure.

[(Anonymous)]

I think you're right...especially since he had his mother's eyes.

[peablossom]

Isn't that the basis of Snarry fandom? I honestly don't know, since that's not my jam.

[(Anonymous)]

It is in some fics, definitely. All that stuff about Harry having Lily's green eyes.

[loracarol]

I think that would have depended on if girl!Harry had still looked like "James with Lily's eyes", or if girl!Harry had looked like Lily.

If girl!Harry still looked like James, I think Snape would still have loathed her, though if she looked more like Lily, that would be a little disturbing.

Unless girl!Harry had "James's eyes" or something that just pissed Snape off because it would have been Lily but "ruined"?

[iceyred]

I think as long as Harriet looked and acted like her dad, Snape would've associated her as 'James' daughter' rather than 'Lily version 2.0'

[(Anonymous)]

I'm of the school of thought that Girl!Harry would be Holly, personally, what with the flower-theme her aunt and mother had. (Although I sort of love the idea of "Maggie" being short for "Magnolia")

[ansela_jonla]

I don't really get it when people say Harry "acts like his dad".

From the descriptions we've had of James, he and the other Marauders were pranksters bordering on light-sided, bigoted bullies. James and Sirius in particular come across as cocky and outgoing. James was in Gryffindor, and on the quidditch team.

All that Harry shares with his father is the light-sided attitude towards the dark/Slytherins (and is it any wonder, considering how Snape and Malfoy treat him, and the opinions of the first magical person he ever met after infancy?), his house and his love of quidditch. Harry isn't a prankster, and he doesn't bully people.

[(Anonymous)]

Welp, I'd never thought about that until tonight, and now I have a whole new and disturbing headcanon.

Thanks a lot, OP. D:

[(Anonymous)]

I think you mean how much sexier it would have been...

(At least when Harriella was 16 or older)

(I'll just let myself out)

[(Anonymous)]

I'M WITH YOU ON THAT

[silvereriena]

I have never heard of Harriella for fem!Harry. That's a new one for me!

[(Anonymous)]

Harriella reminds me of when I was a kid and used to call my brother Timothy Timothella.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly what I thought...

[writerserenyty]

If she still looked like Harry but female (i.e. black, messy hair and green eyes) I bet he would have treated her similarly. If she looked like Lily... that might be a bit weird.

[(Anonymous)]

I want this now. ANYONE HAVE ANY SNAPE/FEM!HARRY RECS?

[(Anonymous)]

I think he still would have seen a girl as a product of James and treated her poorly, while still guarding her for Lily.

[othellia]

See: Petyr/Sansa

[(Anonymous)]

[gabzillaz]

You mean if Harry looked like Lily?

... well damn

[solarbird]

There's a huge Harry-in-Slitheren series of stories (Cunning and Ambition) that I like because in it, Snape is forced - by Potter being in Slytherin - to fucking cope with his whole school day bullshit.

See, what I think of Potter's actual special ability being is that he makes the people around him better people. Seeing that happen in a Slytherin context is pretty cool.

(Fair warning: series is abandoned. But there's a lot there, so.)

[(Anonymous)]

If female!Harry looked enough like Lily, Snape would probably have loved her like the daughter he never got to have.

Skeptical

[(Anonymous)]

I'm really not seeing it. Snape was watching Harry really intently before he got to know him at all, and then put that test to him on potions knowledge. He wasn't just going on what Harry looked like or was rumored to be. Or his gender. But a girl!Harry who was raised by abusive, neglectful muggle relatives probably wouldn't have been in any better position to impress Snape with potions knowledge. I think she would have attracted the same sort of disgust and spite that Harry did, for being famous without having any innate ability that won her other peoples' admiration. And later for often breaking the rules without punishment. Snape was loathsome with everyone, but we don't see him sexualize any of the girls in his classes even when he's publicly humiliating them. I don't think he would have made an exception for girl!Harry. If gender conditioning on top of family abuse made her less overtly confrontational and mouthy, he might hate her a little less. (I.e., he might not smash a jar of cockroaches on the wall above her head to punctuate his anger.) But it's a long jump from there to assuming he'd transfer his attachment from Lily to someone so ordinary.

On a meta level, I also think JK chose to not foreground overt instances of sexism. At the schools I attended, it was common knowledge that some of the male teachers looked up girl's skirts and down their shirts, and engaged in other creepy, inappropriate behavior. The girls warned each other about adults to avoid being alone with. This is a hazard that's (intentionally?) not included in Hogwarts, though. And I guess ... with all the stuff about how Harry is a boy because JK's publishers didn't think boys would read a book with a girl protagonist, the implication that one of the most central-to-the-plot teachers would have been perving on her or wanting to (had she been female) makes me uncomfortable.
