I really like how you’ve portrayed Snape. It feels so realistic.
This is amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Great chapter! The only thing I don't really get is how Harry managed to get on the Hogwarts Express without the glamour, since he can't use magic outside of school and there are old bruises that have been covered up by the new ones. Or maybe the old ones are pretty faded, and he's gotten the new ones like right before he goes to Hogwarts?
Ah, what the hell, this is a great story
Aw! Snapey! I love his inward struggles in this chapter - how he doesn't quite care, but he doesn't quite not care... And the last line was especially good: "a Harry Potter who suddenly reminds Snape much more of himself at his own age than he ever believed possible."
I'm really enjoying your Snape and also the point of view you're using (well, not the point of view, exactly, but I can't recall the proper word for when something is written in the present tense rather than past: "Snape says" instead of "Snape said"). Anyway, I can't wait to find out how Snape's going to take care of Harry's obviously huge problems.

Loved that story!! Great chapter. Great writing. Wonderful interaction and some of the very BEST Harry and Snape characterizations I have read in fanfiction. Great story.
Wow! Great story so far. I absolutley felt both Harry's despair and Snape's complete uncertainty in dealing with this. You are an excellent writer (and hopefully a frequent updater). Thanks for sharing.
