Snape/Harry: The Beginnings
I'm expecting contributions from everyone who has some information. I will save this post on my lj memories.

Thanks to all of you and especially Unquiet (ana_snapeana), who's an important member of the Brazilian HP fandom and my friend, I already know that:

On October 23th, 2000, Majolique posted the first Snape/Harry story, on hpslash ML (message #2502). This story can be read on PSA:

Midnight Confessions, by Majolique (You'll need the password, which you can get if you join psa_dungeons).

A week later, on October 31st, Unquiet posted the first part of 'A Different Lesson', also on hpslash ML (message #2713). The second part was posted on November 9th, on ff.net. You can read 'A Different Lesson' on Walking the Plank:

A Different Lesson, by Unquiet.

Sometime during/after August 2001, kangeiko posted Two Loveable Young Women on a yahoogroups list, and then archived it on ff.net.

Also around August 2001, Telanu (somniesperus) began to write the Tea series.

In October 2001, McKay's (scribbulus_ink) Too Wise to Woo Peaceably came out, according to ellid.

In November 2001, Luthien (luthien) wrote Aftermath, a response to a challenge posted by Telanu on Snapeslash ML (Oh Professor Snape, you sexy bitch).

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (US title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), the first HP movie, was released on November 16, 2001.

On November 24, 2001, the SnapexHarryML, a yahoogroup, was founded by Alia. Telanu, McKay and Luthien were some of its members.

On the first of December, 2001, Sushi (wikdsushi) came into the ship. Marching Off To War (CW-Verse) was her first Snape/Harry fic.

The first wave of the Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest (SSFF), organized by luthien and tboy, started at the end of March 2002 and contributed to the overall number of stories featuring the pairing appearing in a short-ish period of time.

Midnight Blue started posting "The Mirror of Maybe" on FF.net in March 2002. The story got a significant following. According to maverickmila, it had received about 5000 reviews on FF.Net when it was pulled down. The Mirror of Maybe Yahoo Group has currently 6795 members. On 22 April 2002 the story was added to the Noire Sensus Archive, but the latest updated chapters are only available on the author's site.
