The interaction here is great. I'm not sure I agree with the "Dumbledore was unfair to Snape" perspective, but given your premise, Snape and Harry are very believable.
Lots of lovely angst here. Snape really is being confronted with his past as well as Harry's. And I can't wait to see what the room delivers. Having Snape at Harry's mercy is a really interesting concept in this story.
Oh, this has gotten good. I loved Snape trying to get some house elves to help him and Harry getting them food, and finally realizing the fix Snape is in. And then we get the weirdness with the parchment. It is really brilliantly unique and exciting. At first, I thought Snape was there in the original memory, so him getting sucked in the second time was quite a surprise.
This challenge is always great fun and you have included several fun things. Having the room react idiosyncratically for Harry and not Snape should be interesting. I also really liked how you wrote the last scene. You know Harry's handling of the bloody nose is furiously making Snape think, but it is very understated. Also, if someone hasn't pointed it out, it should be "Dudley and Uncle Vernon had both broken his nose..." not "Dursley and Uncle Vernon..."

This story is excellent! I am really enjoying it. I think it was a great idea to choose the Room of Requirement for this challenge, because you could make 72 hours last much longer in a room that can change into anything you need.
I am looking forward to the next update!
Oh, and I loved the OotP movie! Even though the Occlumency scenes weren't as in depth as the book, I thought that this was the first accurate portrayal of Snape/Harry that I've ever seen in a movie...and the "I may vomit.." part really made me laugh.
Terrific chapter! I'm not sure I understood all of it but I'm not sure I was supposed to yet so I'll wait to see it fall into place. The Snape/Harry scenes in the movie WERE awesome, I totally agree!
