The honest answer is, the shed should be relocated elsewhere...no two roofs should adjoin in the fashion you described,...it's a basic "never do it that way" scenario and no matter what you do, it will cause problems in the future. However, that said, butterfly roofs do exist but they're built in a way to move water (not snow) very quickly away from the valley...with typically oversized central gutters and scuppers and lots of valley flashing (continuous and overlapped metal sheets adhered to the deck)...
hope this helps any.
