Thanks ^^ I thought that the book was a very 'Snape' touch; I can imagine him being an artist and, although I'm not quite sure why, I think he'd be a fan of fairytales (perhaps because his best friend was a girl; princesses and knights' is a popular game for mixed-gender groups of kids lol!) Anyhow, I thought it would be appropriate gift for a child as well as carrying a hidden meaning which would only become clear when Harry was 'in the know' (i.e. that Snape was Amroth and that, although he couldn't declare so at the time, he had attempted to say a proper goodbye to Harry.)

I can see Severus admiring Von Poseihudor (whose surname means 'waterlord'), which is why he copied some of his features while posing as Amroth. However, I did want this story to be more of an elaboration on the canon rather than wholly AU, so Severus had to die as he did in DH. However, he did let Harry know that his Shadow never ceased to look out for him or stopped loving him.  

Thanks for the review. While there are a couple of 'alternate universe' events in this story, Harry's life, overall, is supposed to be canon, thus Snape and Dumbledore die as they do in HBP/DH. I did this because I felt that, had Harry been given a 'happy ever after', the story wouldn't have the gritty edge Bil seems to enjoy. Also, I feel that this way, the 'might have beens' make the fluff poignant rather than soppy.
