You're welcome!  Glad you liked it and yeah, Snape is in a pretty sad situation, isn't he?  It's good though that Harry is finally clueing in!  The whole situation is just utterly tragic, but that's the way I love it!  LOL

Ginny and Lupin are particularly favorites of mine.  I just couldn't get enough of them in the books, though they were not in them nearly enough, IMO.  Oh well.  That's what fanfiction is for, I guess.  :)

I'm glad you felt better after I responded to your review.  About the Malfoys, I mean.  The Malfoys have quite a large role here and Draco especially.  Maybe more will be revealed in the next chapter.....although maybe more bits of tantalizing teasers than anything useful.  :oP  

Thanks so much for reviewing.  The next chapter will hopefully be up by tomorrow night.  I think you'll enjoy it.  It is chock full of Severus and Harry lovliness!  

Don't apologize.  I absolutely thrive on these reviews....it makes me want to jump right into the next chapter. 

The Floo choking was fun.  It just seemed so "Harry", you know?  LOL  And, yeah this is a very important moment for Severus to have let Harry in.  The scene with Remus was pivotal.  Even Snape can't deny now that he cares about Harry, after trying to choke Remus to death for what he thought Remus was up to!  

And yes, it was very important for Harry to see the physical evidence of Snape's love for his mum.  And here's where it gets tricky....Snape very much, just like with Lily, never stopped loving his little boy.  What he has to realize (and he slowly slowly is) is that Harry, this Harry is the same little boy.  He keeps getting glimpses and trying to tell himself that but he really needs to just GET IT.  It was as if that little son died with Lily that night, he grieved for him as though he had.  Harry Potter, 10 years later when he showed up for the sorting, was not the same boy Sev had lost, in Snape's mind.  Now, he is rediscovering his son.  *snif*.
