So sad. Much about Harry Potter was always misunderstood by the masses and only Severus Snape truly understood his plight. My heart breaks for the man that dared to truly care about the child.
Great fic!
Wow... this is so brilliant. I love the narrative tone you wrote this in.
Now I've gotta read the expansion! Good job!
Oh, very, very nice. I like it when people point out that, yes, Harry is only a child, shoved into the role of Hero, with the wieght of the British Wizarding World on his really rather small shoulders.
Thanks for writing this ^^
Author's Response: You're welcome! Yes, Harry was only a child, and I like writing from that angle. ^__^ Obviously, because the books are children's books, the characters are going to act more mature than they really are (they always do in kids' books, and JK once said "if Harry was a real kid, he'd be really messed up") but that's what fanfiction's for!
Lovely, sad, and tragic. I wish it went this way in canon, minus the dying part but it fits with this story. This story is really just beautiful to read. I love the way you paint it as a fairytale, and then the shock when it shifts. It's a good observations about the series itself. Thanks for the great story!
Author's Response: You're welcome. Yeah, just minus the death part, and we have a lovely story. I didn't really want to kill him; my fingers just ran away without the permission of my brain.
That had to be the most realistic retelling of the story that I have ever read (except for the last bit.)
Thank you
Author's Response: Thanks!

Okay,this made me rather sad,(which means that you wrote it very well)snifle.Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad I made you sad. Does that mean there's something wrong with me?
This is amazing. I really love the way you show how black and white the wizarding world sees things, and then what Snape does . . . I really like this, great job.
Author's Response: Thanks. I always thought the books were very black and white, mainly because it was from Harry's point of view, so we only got his opinion on things really.
Wow. This was certainly unique. The writing style was simply marvelous, and I quite enjoyed reading it. I truly enjoyed the whimsical attitude at the end. "Once upon a time."
Author's Response: Whimisical was exactly what I was going for, so I'm happy! I wanted to use almost a childish style, like it was for a children's story, to get across the more serious message. Thanks for the review! "Unique" *Is happy*
