    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!!

    Gah! Just when I'm getting into it and clinging to the edge of my seat waiting for Snape to come unglued, you go and end the chapter.

    Please, update soon. You've now made the list of favorite authors who all like to leave me hanging...you've got a group like the DA going on, don't you? And you guys all sit around thinking up ways to drive your readers nuts with suspense, cackling madly, I'll bet...

    Author's Response:

    I don't think Snape will come unglued, per say. But... I think he's going to find out that he and Harry have a lot more in common than either of them had ever imagined.

    I'm sorry; I don't mean to leave people hanging. I promise we don't actually have an evil conspiracy going on. :P

    Thanks for the review,

    Aethyr

    Not inconsistent. Update soon. Know that's hard being in college as I am too. I've been wondering when Severus might see or find out about Harry's home life.

    Hmm. I think I'm being a little too oversensitive. It's not really visible. You're fantastic with the characterisation. I can't write a Snape like you, though...

    Well, back to the topic. I guess it's how Snape is less impatient and..erm.. exasperated, i guess. Erm, I don't know how to term it. He's actually having a conversation with Harry without snapping at him. But then again, Harry's been in his shields, so... And it's not really like Snape to be diverted that easy, unless he has a plan in mind? I mean, he's not really known for avoiding a subject for Harry's sake. I think you have a plan for him, right?

    Don't worry, you're doing fine. It's just a tad different (he's looser with his mouth--but then again, maybe he's warming up to Harry) from the previous ones. All in all, Snape is still in character. I actually don't see a problem with this version of Snape. Very snarky, in fact. I like. :)

    I'd only realise the existence of this fic when you updated it, which also kinda means i read it all in one go. I'll have to admit, Snape is a teensy bit OOC, but only a teensy bit. But all in all, nice work. Update soon!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for the criticism; it is much appreciated. If you would care to elaborate (so that I may improve upon it in future), in what way(s), specifically, did you find Snape OOC?

    Thank you also, of course, for reviewing.

    You write wonderfully -- each sentence is crisp, tailored and perfectly characterised. I very much look forward to seeing where you take the story, and wish you luck with uni!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you ever so much, for both the kind words and the luck! I'm glad you're enjoying the story thus far.

    Pax, Aethyr
