Dumbledore in Harry/Snape-fanfics
I have been getting lots of Harry/Snape-fics for both my Manipulative Dumbledore and Grandfatherly and mentor!Dumbledore lists. For the most part they don't seem to fully fit in either of the lists, so I won't be adding most Harry/Snape-fics with Dumbledore playing an important role as the chief-manipulator in getting them together in either of those lists. Instead I'll try to categorize them somewhat here.
1) Dumbledore as catalyst for the stories - though he doesn't act much or even may have died before the beginning of the fic
2) Dumbledore manipulates Harry and Snape till they are together and can sometimes go overboard though his acts are well-meaning
3) Dumbledore actively forces them together and his manipulations aren't fully well-meaning
4) Dumbledore actively tries to keep them apart or his acts aren't always completely well-meaning
## I absolutely love this fic. It's really outstanding and original.
# Great fic, definitely worth a read.
NR I haven't read this fic myself, NRC I have only partly read the fic
new I added this fic recently.
When you rec stories for this list, please don't leave just a link. To put them up in this list I also need a Summary and in what way Dumbledore actually tries to interfere in Harry and Snape's lives. Status (WIP, Complete, Hiatus, Abandoned or One-shot) and Rating would help as well!!!
Thanks. :-) And thank you everyone who contributed to this list.
1) Dumbledore as a (positive) catalyst for the stories - though he doesn't act much or even may have died before the beginning of the fic
