    I think the changing relationship feels natural enough to fit the story. I loved the last part of the chapter!

    I like the way Snape is slowly becoming more civil to Harry and vice versa. Teaching him the shrinking spell for his books was a good idea and should pay off when he has to go to the Dursleys. Though I think Snape just taught him the spell so that he would have more time to do his potions work better during the summer. ;-)

    I love this story more and more with each chapter. Snape and Harry are both in character, and yet the relationship and interaction between them are changing realistically as the tale moves on.

    My favorite part of this chapter is the bit about the time-lapse shrinking spell. I laughed out loud when the penny dropped for Harry and he realized why Snape taught him the spell. *grin*

    Of course, this means that Harry won't have an excuse for not finishing his summer homework!

    Well done! As always, I look forward to the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    I'm very glad you're enjoying it, and that you find the characterization realistic; I do try. :)

    I am sure that given the various other activities avaliable to him at the Dursleys', Harry would much prefer to do his summer homework.

    Thank you for reviewing!

    I continue to enjoy your story greatly; my only quibble is the shortness of the chapters. Snape is indeed difficult to capture. I think you've nailed his attention to detail, his brilliance and his roundabout Slytherin cunning. If he is not as cutting, as impatient and bloody difficult here as he seemed in canon, I attribute it to the well-motivated shifts in his relationship to Harry and not to any fault of your characterisation. Looking forward to more!

    Author's Response: I hope the chapter I just posted is of a more satisfactory length. I seem to always have a hard time deciding where to end chapters, especially if a chapter looks to contain more than one scene.

    I'm very glad the characterization is in-character. Thanks!

    You're doing a great job! I love it! Though I would love it more if Harry didn't have to go back to the Dursleys at all. And yeah, Snape is a hard one to get right, but it seems that you're having no trouble at all, though Snape is getting a tad less nastier. *grins* Faithfully awaiting your next update!!
