    this is a brilliant story... you might work on changing your word choice a little from here on out. normally your puns and metaphors are quite creative, but it seems to me that if you hear a new way of saying something typical you're apt to cling to it and reject the old entirely, which winds up making the new much less appetizing... in this case I will admit I am making a direct referral to "as his parting shot" as a statement; it was an interesting weaving of words the first time, but you've used it several times and by now it is becoming rather redundant... As for the rest of the story, I say it's brilliant. :) Update soon!

    VERY convincing characterization and plot development. I'm really intrigued by the idea. I can *definitely* see Snape feeling an obligation to help a student in Harry's situation. I think the title says it all, really. Snape might not be the most pleasant of men, but I really do see him having a very deep sense of duty. I just can't see him allowing anyone to harm *any* student in his care without taking appropriate action. A very well thought out take on abused!Harry.

    Author's Response: Thanks.  That small idea was what started the whole story.  I have a degree in education, so the reporting law mentioned is actually based in reality.  It's pretty universal in western law, from what I can see.  And, knowing Severus's background, I can't see him willingly stand back and allow something like that to continue.  I'm trying for a slow evolution of their relationship.  I've seen far too many stories with an abused!Harry suddenly latch onto Severus within a few chapters.  I mean, the line between love and hate may be thin, as the saying goes, but it takes wuite a bit longer for people's feelings to change from one to the other than fifteen minutes! ;) 60,000 words in and Severus is still vehmently declaring that he doesn't like Harry at all!

    Hi, I've enjoyed reading your story very much.  Thank you for sharing it.

    Poor Snape is fighting himself and his feelings the poor guy.  As is Harry though Harry has had mistrust beat into him.  I think Snape will come around before Harry does fully .... maybe :)

    Again, thanks.  I really hope this isn't the end and you'll be willing to add more to it.



    Author's Response:

    It isn't, but both my beta reader and myself have been heavily hit by RL.  I've just moved to a new home, and my computer isn't even unpacked yet.  I currently don't even have access to my files.  :)

     And yeah, it'll take quite some time for Harry to learn to trust Severus.  I try and bring an element of reality to my stories, and the reality is that abused kids like Harry have a hard time trusting people.  He'll learn, but it will just take time.  In fact he might not have learned to completely trust him in this story at all.  I have far reaching plans that might entail continuing in sequels through at least sixth year, and maybe even seventh.  I'm not quite sure if it'll go that far yet.

    Hey!
    Just wanted to say I still love this fic, and am still dying to know more. I wish that you could still continue on the same website, but I'm thankful that I at least get to read more of the story.
    Please update soon!!! :D

    Author's Response: Schnoogle has not been kind to me.  I was already posting here as well, so I simply moved everything over here.  I promise to update fairly soon, well, as soon as my beta reader finds some time and we get unpacked enough to set my computer up.
