In response to "what is the meaning of it", here's the response from the author👇👇👇

"After drawing this, I had this little dream the other night: when Severus Snape dies, his life sort of "resets". He wakes up to this little girl, and while he doesn't understand exactly what's going on, he knows this life is his, she's his daughter, and that someone he's waited all his life for is in the kitchen downstairs. When I told Kit about the dream, she said I had to draw it. I figured us Snape lovers can use all the sweet fanart we can get right about now. Ice the wound.

I realized after drawing the room that his new life is clearly Muggle. Which is just fine, except that it's hard to imagine Snape dressed in anything other than that button-heavy waistcoast, especially anything you'd call pajamas. Can't beat a cotton pullover, though.

The cat is my cat, General Sterling Price, who forms a perfect circle when sleeping. I feel like Snape would've been a happier man if he'd had a cat or a dog. Even a turtle. Anything that would be happy to see him, you know?"

For those not satisfied, here's the link to the page by Lily-Fox:

The Hogwarts educational system as we know it has greatly favored certain students, while leaving others to fend for themselves—and among those left to fend for themselves is Severus Snape. After suffering greatly at his parents’ home in Spinner’s End, Snape held out hope for a better future once he began his studies at Hogwarts, but his hopes were quickly dashed.

From his very first days at school, he found himself the target of bullying by the Marauders, and the faculty did nothing to put a definitive end to it—in fact, they even favored the bullies. It’s important to note that the Marauders all belonged to the House of Gryffindor, while Snape belonged to Slytherin. The dynamic among the four Hogwarts Houses is that Gryffindor has always been supported and favored not only by the teaching staff but also by Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, even when its students do truly wrong and reprehensible things. Slytherin does not receive the same treatment; in fact, it is perceived as the root of all evil at Hogwarts.

This dynamic was evident in the relationship between Snape and the Marauders. Even after it was established that the Marauders were bullies, they continued to receive preferential treatment from the teachers in many respects, and their classmates saw them as cool, wonderful, and charismatic, while Snape—the primary victim of their misdeeds—was completely ignored and mocked by his classmates, especially since he had been unpopular throughout his school years. No one cared about his misfortunes; this was particularly evident during the incident at the Shrieking Shack, in which his life was put in danger and he was silenced, while those responsible got off without any serious consequences—one of them was even hailed as a hero for having supposedly saved him.

For Snape, every injustice he suffered in his life and during his school years only served to convince him that the side of light embodied by Dumbledore is extremely biased, shows favoritism, and grants mercy to individuals—some of whom do not deserve it. It was this realization that contributed to his decision to join the Death Eaters, hoping to find his place among them.

How would Clark's mother, Martha Kent, have reacted to that? Ever since Clark and Lois began fully enjoying their relationship during the 18 months between the Kryptonian invasion and Luthor's schemes in Batman vs Superman, Martha had practically considered Lois her own daughter; Clark was even on the verge of proposing to her.

A romance between Bruce and Lois, resulting in a pregnancy no less, would have been disrespectful, not only to Clark’s memory but also to the very essence of the characters. In fact, because of Luthor’s schemes in Batman vs Superman, Bruce nearly killed Clark, even though he ultimately had a change of heart when he realized that Clark was actually more human than he had imagined.

Batman, as we know him from the comics—even in his darkest incarnation—is defined by his code of honor and mental discipline. Intruding on the life of the widow of his closest friend and ally (whose death is partly on his conscience) would have turned him into a predatory and unethical character—the absolute antithesis of his mission as a vigilante. As for Lois, her love for Clark is the very essence of her character; Clark is one of a kind and holds a very special place in her heart—she could never love any man but him. The romance that Snyder wanted to introduce would have created an irreparable toxicity between Bruce and Clark, making their future alliance illogical and emotionally unsustainable.

In the officially adopted version, by making the child Clark’s, Zack Snyder’s Justice League restores the full significance of Superman’s sacrifice. Lois is not just carrying a child; she is carrying not only Kal-El’s living legacy, but also the symbolic bond that ties her to the only man she has ever truly loved. From this perspective, Bruce Wayne once again becomes the protector—the one who, though broken, agrees to sacrifice his ego to carry out the mission left by his friend. This is a far more heroic arc, one that is consistent with his archetype as "Knight".

Kawaki became reliant on his Kāma and a few upgrades from Amado. He completely stopped training his basic shinobi skills (the ones Naruto went out of his way to teach him).

To make matters worse, when Boruto returned in TBV, Kawaki was humiliated to find that Boruto could effortlessly dodge his attacks. This was because Kawaki had relied heavily on his Ôtsutsuki amp and Kāma, similar to how Momoshiki over-relied on Chakra pills and was eventually beaten by the duo who had trained their bodies and minds in the ways of the Shinobi.

Kawaki's obsession with killing all Otsutsuki had blinded him to his own weaknesses, making him incredibly temperamental.

On Krypton, natural reproduction was banned several centuries ago; citizens were artificially conceived to fulfill a strict and unchanging social role. As a result, Zod was not born with free will: he was programmed to be a soldier and to protect Krypton at all costs.

This lack of choice meant that Zod lacked the philosophical flexibility necessary to build a new civilization. Facing Kal-El, he himself admits his tragedy: every action he takes, no matter how cruel, is dictated by his genetic makeup. Recreating Krypton from the Codex (which contains the genetic profiles of the ancient society) amounted to cloning the exact structures that had just collapsed.

Zod's plan centered on reactivating the artificial Genesis Chamber contained within Scout Ship 0344. By eliminating humanity in order to clone his own people, he would have restored the three flawed pillars of the Krypton Council:

• Strict genetic selection;
• Arrogance and a sense of superiority;
• Predatory and excessive exploitation of the planet's resources, right down to its core.

It was precisely to break this cycle of stagnation that Jor-El and Lara chose to conceive Kal-El naturally. By implanting the Codex into the cells of a child born without artificial conditioning, Jor-El hoped that his son would grow up among humans and acquire what Krypton so sorely lacked: choice and free will—the power to shape one's own destiny.

>“There’s no need to wait, Nymphadora; Potter is quite—ah—safe in my hands.”

>“I meant for Hagrid to get the message,” said Tonks, frowning.

>“Hagrid was late for the start-of-term feast, just like Potter here, so I took it instead. And incidentally,” said Snape, stepping back to let Harry pass him, “I was interested to see your new Patronus.”

>He shut the gates in her face with a loud clang and tapped the chains with his wand again, so that they slid, clinking, back into place.

>“I think you were better off with the old one,” said Snape, the malice in his voice unmistakable. “The new one looks weak.”

>As Snape swung the lantern about, Harry saw, fleetingly, a look of shock and anger on Tonks’s face. Then she was covered in darkness once more.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Snape Victorious

As shown earlier, by insulting Nymphadora’s new Patronus, Snape made her understand, in his own way, that the man she had fallen in love with was nothing more than a spineless coward and that, as soon as the time came for him to face up to his responsibilities and commitments, he would try to abandon her. Deep down, Snape didn’t particularly care about Nymphadora’s happiness—that’s her life.

At the same time, Snape was also projecting his love for Lily onto Nymphadora’s love for Remus. He was talking more to himself than to Nymphadora; part of him blamed himself for still loving Lily after all these years: “You’re an idiot, Severus Snape. Why keep clinging to a woman who has permanently cut you out of her life, who wants nothing more to do with you, and who married the bastard who made your school years a living hell? Face the facts—Lily Potter wasn’t as wonderful as you thought she was!”

In a way, Snape resented Lily deeply—not for not forgiving him for insulting her, but for getting close to James Potter and eventually marrying him. Forgiveness is not a moral obligation, but a conscious choice made by the person who has suffered harm or wrongdoing; therefore, Lily was under no obligation to grant Snape her forgiveness. However, she owed him a modicum of consideration—even if they were no longer friends—and she should never have gotten close to James after all the harm he and his friends had caused Snape during their school years.
