Ivy-green,

Of course he does, it's just buried somewhere inside him. Thanks! Haha, yeah true. :P.

Raven knight,

I adore your reviews! They make me happy, motivated and inspired. Plus they're quite helpful too.

I am unsure how to respond to all of your comments etc without taking up a whole page, but thanks heaps and I loved them all. You're right too. I loved the comment about Sirius as well, it seemed to fit perfectly in my mind :P, him doing that. Poor McGonagall indeed. Oh and they're going to get there soon enough, although the accidental useage of Harry's first name will lead to more, hope you like! Will update soon, thanks so much!

P.G,

Thank-you! Haha. And yeah, he's not doing this as a joke (hahaha, Snape and jokes do not belong in the same sentence!) and it's not just a job or obligation...he's really trying and wants to do this for Harry and in a way, himself. He's commited and is starting to really care for Harry. Thanks.

And I keep forgetting how to spell that blasted word, thank-you for pointing that out and I'll fix them when I can but at the very least I will try to keep an eye on the word in the future. I am not upset that easily and I do apriciate my readers pointing out these thngs for it helps me to improve and I know that no one is perfect. Thanks for your review!

-Mel :)

Pandora,

Thanks!! It's really believable, you say? Wow...that's one of the best comments I've received yet, thank-you! And I am thrilled. You're right though, it's not exactly an easy thing to do with a character like Snape, but I never knew that I was pulling it off that well, thanks! I will update asap.

-Mel :)

Llalva,

I'm happy to hear that. Thanks for your comments, always glad to hear them. And it will be a while before they can really be trusting on a family level but they're working towards it and there will be moments in between. Thanks!

-Mel :)
