    I love this story, and I'm so glad to
    see it here. I love your Snape. To me, he's very in-character. At the beginning, he's resentful of Harry and is very eager to revenge himself against James Potter by subjecting his son to petty humiliations...just like in canon.

    But despite that, he really is decent at heart and that comes out, first when he is so horrified that he actually struck a student, and then at his shock and concern once he's discovered how abused Harry really is.

    I like that he was capable of admitting that he'd been wrong and that he was so protective, even of the child he'd expected to hate. I can't believe that it's only because of Harry being Lily's son or his role in the war, either. Snape might not want to admit it, but he is protective of the students.

    I loved how the interaction between Harry and Severus changed as the story went along, and I just want to give Harry a big hug. Poor little kid. But I know things will get better for him with Severus on his side. And I really don't think it will take Severus too long to warm up to him...he's already pretty thawed out, which is good cause I have a feeling those two might be spending a lot of time together from now on.

    I also loved Dumbledore, Minerva, and Poppy. The line about DD being much more creative about torturing people than Voldemort was priceless!

    I really hope you'll consider writing some more in this universe! It's fabulous.

    Very good. I like the balance between abused Harry and defiant Harry. Snape is nicely IC as well.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I find the challenge of keeping everyone in character while still in an AU is the hardest part! Thanks for letting me know I'm managing (so far). :)

    Oh yay! I'm so glad that you decided to post here, and that you got it posted with seemingly no problems! Good work!

    I love this one shot. I think one of the things that I most like about it is that Snape made a mistake. A mistake that Dumbledore and Minerva, and even Snape himself realize and regret. I like that Snape admits it, unintentionally at first, but that he does because there is something more important: Harry.

    Thank you for sharing this with us!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the encouragement to join and post!! I'm really glad you enjoy this story, and I appreciate your taking the time to review. :)
