Best chapter yet -- angst everywhere, I was practically in tears. Seriously, good job with the Harry/Snape dynamic.

When I reviewed the last chapter I said I couldn’t wait for this one to be posted. Unfortunately I didn’t have much of a chance to read chapter 15 until now.
I thought the way you wrote about Harry’s soul searching was very realistic. Harry’s guilt about lying to Snape and not resolving the conflict between them made him grumpy to his friends, angry at Snape and even short tempered with himself. I think that for once Harry’s eavesdropping on the conversation between Snape and McGonagall was a good thing. I’m not sure Harry would have understood Snape’s feelings about their quarrel as well if he hadn’t heard their talk. I loved the comment when McGonagall told Snape to “Go deal with Harry or she would deal with him”. McGonagall sure pulled no punches with Snape in that talk!
Snape and Harry dealt with some very important issues that were still coming between them. I liked that Harry still stood up to Snape about mistakes made by both of them past and present while apologizing for lying and Snape admitted that they both were still learning to be father and son. The best part for me was that finally Harry told Snape –his Dad- that he loved him!
LOL Too Funny! Great Chapter! Loved the last words!
very good resolution to their conflict!
What a heartfelt end of chapter. Well done.

Ah, the moment we've all been waiting for - the day Harry finally tells his father he loves him. =)
that was a great chapter, i really liked reading it, when will snape learn that all children lie either to get out of trouble or protect others but i'm glad they are finally sorting out there problems, i still don't like the moretta

This was a very good chapter although I must say that a little bit of the dialogue on Harry’s part was slightly unrealistic. I liked the part where he overheard the conversation between Snape and McGonoggal. It was important to him understanding his father’s side of things and it also helped Snape to understand his own feelings. I like Harry feeling emotional after he argued with Snape and trying to hide it but still accepting the much-needed comfort from Snape and of course his cheekiness in the end lets us know that everything is much better between the pair. Overall, good chapter. Oh I have a suggestion about getting Harry a girlfriend (if you intend to do that) please don’t make it Ginny since so far she hasn’t been featured much in your stories and I also think that they are not exactly suited to each other. Harry has a father now who will introduce him to new people, perhaps he will find a girlfriend there? Just a little suggestion.

I love it! I love how Snape's way of soothing Harry is scolding him- so Snape-like. Please update soon.
