    I am both extreamly happy you posted this chapter and extreamly sad it is the end! I truly enjoyed reading this story; you had really good ideas and the story was both interesting and entertaining. The emotions were very strong and I could understand how that characters felt in the situations. I had a lot of fun reading this story, it was truly brilliant work. I absolutly can not wait for the sequel! I promise to read and reveiw it, so PLEASE, please post it soon! Brilliant work, beautiful ending.

    Author's Response: Thank you for following my story and giving me such kind reviews!  Key scenes for the sequel are starting to form in my head, so it's beginning.

    I LOVE THIS STORY! That was a great ending. I really loved the way you treated both Harry and Snape in this story. I am positively anxious for the sequel. Great job!

    Author's Response: :)  It was a tough balance to find when writing the Harry & Snape relationship, but it seems to have paid off.  Glad you liked it and thanks for the review.

    Wonderfully strong ending to a touching story. I'm glad that you mentioned there will be a sequel, or I'd have been pestering you for one here!

    I am a big sucker for hurt/comfort in this fandom - precisely because this aspect of harry's psyche is so missing in the books, as you said in your author's notes about his need for a parent. This has really been one of the best hurt/comfort snape-adopts-harry fanfics that I've read. The key moments that you said in your a.n. that you built this story around - the sign for teacher/father, harry signing "sorry" against snape's chest - these moments have stuck with me through the months since I first read them and I can tell they'll be rattling around in my head for long time.

    There is too much that's great in this fanfic for me to even begin to do it justice in a review, so let me just say - thank you very much for writing this and sharing it with us. I would love to see a sequel, or another fanfic, or anything snape/harry really - I wuld love to see more from you wherever the muse takes you.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for such a lovely, long review.  It's so - justifying, for lack of a better word - when readers see the major aspects of the characters the same way.  In this case Harry's psyche.  It was nice to get all that out of my head and onto paper and even better to see people respond with "Yes!  That's it!"

    So, in short, I'm very glad you liked it.  The sequel is in the works, if only in my head for the moment.

    I adore this interesting turn of events you've created here! It is definatly the most imaginative Snape adopts Harry story I've ever read and I love every minute of it!! I'm so glad that both Severus and Harry are ok and happy in their new understanding. This ending was perfect and I seriously can not wait for the sequel!! Please update as soon as you can!!

    Author's Response:

    The sequel will probably be a bit of a wait.  But not too long, I imagine, because they won't stay out of head.

    Thanks for your thoughts :)

    That was such a satisfying ending! I loved how Harry was finally convinced by Severus that he meant something to him. Sigh.

    Ever so thankful that you're doing a sequel! I want more! Looking forward to it immensely!

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for all your reviews and insight into the story.  I'm glad you liked the ending :)

    Lovely ending to the story. It showed how much Snape has come to understand Harry and what Harry brings to the relationship. Snape can't hide his emotions anymore and (yippee!) he won't have to spy anymore. But I must admit to being sorry not to see Snape in action against Quirrell.

    Author's Response:

    Pretty much the only reason I didn't show the Quirrell/Snape showdown is because I knew I wouldn't write it well.  Best to skip it.

    Snape is definitely more open with Harry, but I think he has a ways to go yet.
