I liked several things about this chapter. This little exchange "“Wish I knew how he manages that little trick…” he murmured as Pomfrey came to stand beside him, and pushed him back on the pillows.
“Don’t we all!” she said sotto-voce." showed nicely that Harry is already becoming more comfortable with Severus. I also liked how he realized that Severus had been helping him all year with a nutritive potion. And I like that Severus will already know that Harry is a parselmouth. (I must admit that I also really like the fact that you use "parselmouth" and "parseltongue" correctly.) It will be interesting to see how this changes Harry's second year.
Author's Response: Thanks, I truly like that bit as well. For everyone who is wondering... Parselmouth is what you are, ie: someone who speaks parseltongue - the language.
Thanks!
