Thing you're changing: Severus and Lily got together instead of James and Lily. How do you think this would have affected the outcome of the books? Well, for one, Harry would not be Harry. While he may "have his mother's eyes", Harry Potter is very much his father's son. I see Harry Evans-Snape having the best of both his parents (and yes, they would hyphenate). He would be a much more well-adjusted Snape. Good looks, not greasy, a keen mind, a potions genius, and I envision him having a lot more confidence. Harry Snape-Evans would never have been orphaned. His father would likely not have ended up as a Death Eater, and I see them having had a lovely life. They may have been Order members, but I see James as having been the volatile part of that original pairing. Neville would be the boy of the prophecy. This would basically change the whole story.
