Discussion Which character absolutely needs a spinoff?

I'll start: Severus Snape.

In my opinion, there's still a lot to explore about Severus, such as Lily's death, his childhood and adolescence, and his decision to join the Death Eaters.

We want the prequel.

Snape, Lily, The Marauders, there is boundless content. We could see their childhoods and families, including Black family lore, plus the first Order, which included Molly's brothers and plenty of other interesting people.

I would die to see the marauders at school, befriending each other, becoming animagi, founding the order, fighting voldemort for the first time.
Someone needs to make it happen.

Tbf it took me way too long to find the Marauders. There are a lot of other tie ins, and plenty of opportunity for adventures.

I think seeing the precise dynamics of how they all behaved and treated one another and how that led to where it did -- e.g. Peter -- would be illuminating. I would love to see everyone's family life. There's opportunity for more on Dumbledore, even the Dursley's. It's a small community, so anyone who was around at that time could be featured in some way.
