What a page-turner!!! And I kept turning and turning and turning, like the Energizer bunny on steroids!!! There were so many times I planned to review a chapter, but I was so caught up in the action that I just HAD to read on, to find out what happened next! So here is sort of an all-in-one review at the very end: What I found utterly astounding was your incredible imagination and the intricate details you piled one upon another (like Harry building his Occlumency walls!) to construct one of the finest fanfics I've ever read! I KNOW I'll be rereading this in the future -- maybe then I can rein in my enthusiasm to leave reviews along the way! But having reached the end... You never stopped surprising me with originality, both in your own plots, as well as unique approaches to Canon. When Harry finally got into Voldemort's DARK MIND -- which we'd all been waiting for -- the scene with the writhing snakes blew me away! And that's just one example! (There are, oh... maybe a thousand others...) I truly enjoyed reading "O Mine Enemy" (from Snape's long, pale fingers coming through the Dursleys' mail slot to the guardianship scroll that he snatched up to satisfy his curiosity beneath Dumbledore's knowing smile... Always unexpected twists and turns, evocative imagery, and a loyal friend in Hunter -- the description of him nudging Harry's wand along... GENIUS!!! Well ... back to real life... But THANK YOU for such a lengthy read, and for the inspiration to keep writing, writing, writing my own stuff! 😺🐢

I would LOVE a sequel! It's hard for me to follow a new story, as waiting for the next chapter KILLS me, but I would do it nonetheless!
Really want to see that father/son relationship.
Love this! I am so sad it's coming to an end.
The ONLY thing I dislike about fics like this is how old Harry is. I want him to be younger so that he can have Snape longer.
Lol! I was like, holding my breath the entire time Harry was "fighting" Voldy. Phew!!!
Excellent close of the chapter.
I have NO idea how your imagination could have gone up with the imagery in this chapter, of Harry in Voldy's mind: but it's fantastic! Especially when the "sparks" come and light up the darkness. Excellent writing!
Excellent! I'm so glad that Snape took charge of the conversation FINALLY.
I think Harry's "vent" got cut out somehow:
'Harry didn’t realize Snape wanted a response until a few seconds of silence had passed. He chewed his lip, not sure how to respond. He settled on, “Do you want me to condemn you?”
“Yes!” ground out Snape.
The professor stayed silent, letting him vent. Harry took a deep breath, thinking if there was anything else to add, but he thought that about covered it. He felt calmer with that off his chest, and he cocked his head. “How’s that? Do you feel better now that I yelled at you?”'
Is there a paragraph missing?
Anyhoo, I've been binge-reading for hours!
SNAAAAAAPE!!! NO, darn it!!!
