Description
Little scene from 's Alternate Universe Greatness (peruse it here: [link] ).62-year-old Severus Snape, his 7th-year son, Soren (Head Boy, as noted from his badge), and Albus Severus Potter crossing paths in the Hogwarts corridors and exchange their salutes. In the case of father and son, a little fist-bump!
Severus is the hottest 60-year-old I've ever seen... greying hair and all. I know wizards age slower than muggles and all, but 20 years as a death eater, spy, having a horrible childhood, the horrific death of his unrequited love, and then raising a little dynamo like Soren will give ANYONE grey hair! 
~LadyMacbeth1755 specifically told me that once Sev hits his mid-50's he will grow his beard outright in her Universe. I know that's bound to cause controversy, as Sev's facial hair has done in my works before. But in this case, it is not my idea. Frankly I think he looks great with it! She also specifically told me that Al was indeed sorted into Slytherin (much to the rest of his family's dismay). Again, a very small fraction of this is mine.
*J.K. Rowling owns Severus Snape and Al Potter. owns Soren Snape. Shutterstock owns the background because my Deadly Sin is sloth.

P.S. About Sev's grey hair: Grey hair looks distinguished if you have money. Or power. Or, better yet, both.
Does 62-year-old Sev have money?

Seeing as both he and his wife are both on teachers' salaries, he is by no means a millionaire. But he is distinguished, respected, lauded as a hero and one hell of a DADA professor. So the power-thing, he has for certain.
Also, the Blacks are by no means poor (even the squib ones though by no means as wealthy as their magical relatives). Evelyn is a Black through and through. And once she marries Sev, they actually do live in a very nice, decent home. Not a mansion, but it's definitely upper-middle-class.

Of course Al Sev MUST be a Slytherin, just as Jim Siri must be a Gryffindor. It is my notion that, sometime during his first year, Al Sev does something extraordinarily subtle and Slytherinesque (probably involving Potions and his brother), and his housemates agree that he will no longer be called by the insipid name of Albus but will be known to all Slytherins everywhere as Severus Snape Potter.
Soren thinks it's great, Severus pretends to be affronted, and Harry is completely freaked out but does a half-way decent job of acting as if it's all fine with him. Best of all, Jim Siriβs head explodes the first time he hears his baby brotherβs housemates call him βSev.β

According to Soren's ArtMom, a few of those instances actually happen. Soren is a year older than AlSev and sort of takes him under his wing and they eventually become best friends (AlSev even spending time in Ireland with his buddy's maternal family during holidays).
Though SevSenior might be a little weirded out when first hearing someone else getting called "Sev".

If Soren is a year older than Al Sev, that means he's the same age as Jim Siri. I trust he treats James Potter II in a manner that does honor to the name of Snape. *smirk*

Yeah he and JimSiri are in the same year -- and arch-rivals, particularly in matters of the heart (Soren is quite the ladies' man). Thankfully for JimmySiri, Soren hates quidditch, so at least they're not THAT bad. I am not at liberty to spoil much more.
But his being best friends with his little brother sorta rubs salt in an open wound.

I didn't recognize him at first--not a bad thing! So, Al's in Slytherin? Bit surprising, but I don't think that all of the family would be too upset. The epilogue gets a lot of crap for being forced, but one of the things that I found touching was that even though Al was worried about being sorted into Slytherin, Harry did the upright thing and didn't bad mouth the house. He certainly didn't push Gryffindor either (lol I have a feeling that Draco did a real hard sell for Slytherin on his son). Then again, parents can say one thing and then react a totally different way! [link]

Heehee... I was wondering if people weren't going to recognise him.
And I like the idea of Al being in Slytherin myself... It says a lot about the Potters.
LMAO!!! That comic was cute!

Hmm... Totally not completely there with the beard. Goatee, I'd be on board. Beards... *shudders*

I thought the same, but I surprised myself at how adorable he could look with it, especially over a certain age (he's no spring chicken here).

He's a wizard. They live to be 120. Barely middle aged.

So he's going through a mid-life crisis thinking he needs a beard? ^_^

precisely! But I think it works on him.
