I have spent every waking hour for the last three days reading this story! I usually go for the more affectionate relationship between Harry and Snape, but I found your characterizations and versions of how such things would play out still made perfect sense. It kept me reading at ungodly hours, just to see what on earth would happen next. Wonderful story, I loved it! I'm only saddened that there's not more to come.

You should really make a sequil. Perhaps one where Draco learns of his past and is friends and perhaps lovers with Harry.
Wow, awesome story! I just came across it, late I know, but it's definitely one of my faves! :)

fabulous story, I just loved it. You write wonderfully.I have seen this recc'ed many times and I now understand why.
Thanks so much for this excellent fic! I very much enjoyed the way you characterized Snape and his attitude and the way Harry worked with him because and in spite of it. :)

I was really impressed with this fic. I'm relatively new to this fandom but have read a lot of fic in my time, and kind of rolled my eyes at the father-son concept. But this story hooked me from the beginning, and I was shocked to keep hurrying back to it to try and get to the end. I really couldn't put it down.
Your characters are very canon, I think; I'm glad that your Snape is the same calculating, bitter, and ultimately loyal character we see straight through til book 7. Your Harry is fascinating; he really is full of pain at causing pain to so many around him - a fully realistic look at what could happen to someone who has lost so much.
In some respects, it was hard to read - Lucius Malfoy is truly a bastard, and the characterizations of Lily and James were seriously painful to read, but I was really impressed with your plot and the way you were able to carry it across 45 (!) chapters woven in with the character development. Lucius and Bellatrix deserved every bit of their pain - and it is testament to your characterization of Snape that he killed her directly, rather than simply manipulating her death. She'd hurt his son.
Snape is a wonderfully uncomfortable character, both in canon and in this story. His "mercy" for Draco - to lose all memory, to not have to live with what he'd done - is terrible but true. And truly, Draco bonding with Lupin is one of the most amusing images ever. :)
Great story - truly funny in parts, a sharp tense plot, and touching without being maudlin or ever out of character. Bravo!
Just a question. I have read this story amoung many others, and i cannot remember what story I read that has harry singing rage against the machine. is this one it?
Wow. I stopped reading this awhile ago because it was slow in update . . . well, not stopped, really, just waited until more was up, but I'm really glad I came back to it. This story defines 'beautifully dark' in many ways. Personally, I believe this is one of the closest interpretations of Snape to Rowling's (from what we know about him so far) for one of these stories. It was absolutely perfect, including the ending (I know I'm TERRIBLE at ending stories). 100 points to . . . whatever house your sorted in!

While I'm very put out that this fic is ending, I still am in awe of you. If you have any doubt of my undying devotion, feel free to peruse my previous reviews. I feel like too much of a lapdog right now to speak rapturously about your glorious writing. Oops... I just did it again, didn't I? Damn.
