This was an insightful chapter. The dynamics between Harry and Snape, as well as Poppy’s perception was so well crafted.
I adore this story, and I am so looking forward to the Reveal in the next chapter. I really enjoy your writing style, and the way you portray Harry as the thoughtful, sharp young man he is. Poor Poppy, I imagine this is going to be hard on all of them (although part of me can't help but think they deserve this shock, being so blind to it for all this time).
Excited to see what's next!

Absolutely absolutely awesome! The chapter is so sweet, funny and insightful and in a way a bit sad at the same time! I loved how Harry resolved the misunderstanding before too late and how Snape seems so very human. I liked Poppy's thoughts too. She is one of the understated character in the canon and I think you are doing her justice. I would have liked something more of Filch though!
Lol - you had a great lead in to Dolores Umbridge! I only just guessed before you revealed her. It was really sweet having Harry go to sit next to Snape on the sofa like that. McGonagall with white hair down her back paints a really pretty picture. I'm afraid the films replaced whatever image I had of her before of my own. :(
You've got a few spelling and punctuation errors, but the update is excellent!! :D
Oh, such a wonderful chapter!!!! So, for the first time in Harry's Hogwart education the administration FINALLY see him as he really is.....mad. I love the factt that he and Severus have come so very far in such a short time. Hopefully Harry will finally get the help he deserves and needs. Thank you for a chapter that was filled with both laughter and tears. I awaid your next wonderful update.

What an amazing chapter, just goes to show people don't see what they don't want to see. I am so glad Harry helped Sev with the stares from the other professors. I love what Snape is having done to Umbridge and now to the Dursleys. I love that your story is addressing that part of it. Also, holiday in the French Alps, amazing!

"The village of Great Harcourt were used"
Should be 'was' not 'were'
Otherwise, very good.

LOVE THIS CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorites!
You never disappoint.
Please update soon!
Another great chapter, and a nice touch with Peeves haunting Umbridge. Nevertheless, glad you got back to the angsty Snape/Harry meat of the story. ;)
I liked how Harry felt easy enough in his new relationship with Snape to just go over and start a conversation without worrying he'd be snarled at. And that Severus feels close enough to Harry to allow himself to laugh and joke. I can see this happening in a small grouping like this where he's not having to be on his guard to defend his snakes against accusations from self-righteous Gryffindors. Really looking forward to the welfare meeting and McGonagall and Dumbledore's reactions.
Mrs Norris curled up in Harry's lap - FTW!!
Mrs. Norris and Harry...the new dream couple ;-)
I hope you have a good holiday and new chapters are definitely something to look forward to when you get back!
