YMMV / What If Snape Died

• Complete Monster: Lord Voldemort is just as evil as in canon. Introduced leading 30 Death Eaters in an attack on Diagon Alley, he subjects a 5-year-old Harry Potter to the Cruciatus Curse before attempting to kill him. Failing to do so and losing his body thanks to Lily's sacrifice, he arranges years later for Percy Weasley to be tricked into accepting his old diary as a gift so that the soul fragment contained within can open the Chamber of Secrets, unleashing Salazar Slytherin's basilisk on an unsuspecting student body, and also drain Percy's life force to grant himself a body. During Harry's first year, he infiltrates Hogwarts by inhabiting the body of new Astronomy professor Quirinus Quirrell, who jinxes Harry's broom during his first Quidditch game on Voldemort's orders. When he's discovered, Voldemort tortures multiple people before trying to kill Harry one last time.
