Hayley Snape: Was He Really Necessary?

When Harry Potter wished that he was no longer going to be Harry Potter, the Harry Potter universe was turned on its head and a new hero emerged. But there was a huge controversy when a character named Hayley Snape was created and as far as we know, Severus Snape didn't have any children.

Thanks a lot, Harry! Not only did you let poor Snape die in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," but you are claimed to be his son as well. 

And who is Hayley's mother? Why, it's none other than the rather pathetic Lily (Evans) Potter, who was forced to leave James Potter when Harry made his stupid wish, meaning that James had to marry another woman and have another baby, which grew up to be Tyler Potter.

So anyway, Hayley Sanpe is forced to live in a huge family, which consisted of not only Severus and Lily, but also Harriet, Hannah, Hunter, Hilda, Haleth, Howard, Hillarie, and Heidi (and Marty McGuire, an orphan who is being raised by the Snape family). They all live in the same neighborhood as Tyler, yet Tyler escapes from the Murtey family and ends up at the Snape house twice, until a relative comes to claim him.

And as for Hayley, he carried on a secret affair with Tyler until Lily found out and put an end to it. Hayley also doesn't get along with his siblings and sometimes even shuts out Marty. Lily is forever trying to get her son to measure up to her former boyfriend's glory, which backfires badly and nearly ruins Hayley's reputation. He finally stands up to his family and joins Tyler when he embarks on a suicidal mission to stop the Magician from destroying their world. 

So compared to Harry Potter, Hayley Snape is a bit less impulsive and more cautious, as his circumstances have changed and he must assist a reluctant hero in defeating a cruel villain whose evil knows no bounds. But will we have seen the last of Harry Potter for good?

I wouldn't bet on it.
