I just read the whole thing and thought I reviewed it but obviously I didn't...sigh  Okay, I love it.  It's showing Harry at his lowest spiraling point and Snape is being Snape but does show he has a heart. 

I don't think anyone but Snape will be able to get through to Harry. Great job keep up the good work.

I am eagerly looking forward to the next chapter of this!  I must needs go add this bad boy to my favorites list!  I really enjoyed the complexity you have developed in the different relationships the characters have with each other.  The characters are all flawed beings, which makes them very real and they are all written in such a way that no matter how they feel about each other, I feel a certain level of sympathy for them. 

Good stuff!
