Description
Persephone and Hades symbolize Lily and Snape. I am using the God of War video game twist, however. In God of War Chains of Olympus Persephone plots with the Titan Atlas. Persephone feels betrayed by the Olympians for letting her be taken by Hades. As Queen of the Underworld, she is never happy and seeks her revenge by destroying the gods and the world, her own death included. Kratos ultimately defeats Persephone and stops her plan in the process, saving the world in the process only being incidental.

The parallel is that Persephone is the goddess of spring and innocence. Lily is of innocence and sacrifice. A lily is also one of many symbols of Persephone. Hades is the God of the Underworld and often misunderstood as a bad person. Hideous as he was, he was not totally bad. Just upset and reclusive after winning domain of the Underworld. Snape was also a hideous person who was not totally bad.

Hades takes Persephone and (according to the God of War story) he is indirectly (or ultimately, depending how you look at it) responsible for her death at the hands of Kratos. Snape, who loved Lily, helped play a part in her death. Like Persephone who, according to traditional myth, eventually did like Hades somewhat, Lily did like Snape at one point, at least to the point to call him a friend. And like Hades, Snape didn't care to change that much. Hades did let her go back to earth for four to six months of the year (depending on the translation) so her mother, Demeter, would allow the plants to grow again, and Snape conversely did make her smile at a time, but both were blind with selfishness. And even though Persephone would have rather been dead than with Hades, he still preserves her body as a shrine. Similarly, Snape's Patronus was a doe after Lily had died.

I'm probably going to anger about half of the people because they hold Snape in high esteem. That's not what I'm trying to do. It's just a parallel I made up.
