really good fic so far. it's been such a long time since i've read one that evokes (or is it outright provokes?) emotions the way this one does. mostly i want to smack sll of the characters. =) your characterizations are spot on with snape and harry. the jury's still out on lupin, although i think that may change once more of the plot is revealed. but i did think lupin understood harry a little better than that(not coddled him, but understood him).
Author's Response: Oh, I think Remus thought he understood Harry too... until Harry got Sirius killed. He knows it wasn't Harry's fault, but that's not the same as feeling it. Until he works through his feelings he's likely to stay stuck in a cycle of losing his temper and being sorry for it later, but I've always read Remus as someone who's afraid to face his emotions (especially negative ones) head on. In the books, you hardly ever see him emotional.
