Random, but I've realized that I'd be a lot more interested in Snape if he was a woman. He could still be into Lily, but if he was identical in behavior but female, I would probably actually write him once in a while. Am I nuts, or does anyone else think this?

(oh god Harry Potter fandom kinda hates genderswap doesn't it, what box have I openeddd)

I don't see why. Nothing about his behavior would have changed, because there's nothing all that stereotypically male about him as an adult (Nasty bullying teacher? Secretly good dragon of Big Bad? Redeemed by love? All stuff that has been done with female characters and wouldn't be given any kind of different spin or perspective if he was female) while his childhood would make no sense — the Marauders wouldn't treat a girl the way they treated Snape. Not due to chivalry or anything, just because that style of mockery and rivalry almost certain wouldn't exist between a girl and a group of boys.

Although maybe being a girl in love with Lily could put a slightly different spin on Snape's relationship with her — the reasons for why she kept her feelings a secret, the reasoning Snape came up with to explain why Lily rejected her (i.e., if Lily was straight, Snape might not have resented James as much because she would see it as more about Lily being into guys than Lily thinking James was better than Snape...or she might have resented him even more for having the luck of having a dick and therefore being a viable choice for Lily).

I agree, especially regarding the marauder thing. I really doubt they would have done all that shit to Snape if he were a girl
