Remember that in Harry's photo inside the front of his journal, Severus and Lily are both smiling as Lily holds baby Harry.  And have no fears, there will be a good ending.  As for not knowing about Kenai's mother, this is because at this point I want the reader to know only what Harry knows, which isn't much yet because he's been sort of kept out of the Snape family loop.

Thanks for the review!

Thank you for your insight.  It is always good to get insight from readers.  As a writer it is sometimes hard to imagine just how someone should be feeling as you are writing a story, so having outside help is nice.  Thank you in that respect.  I wanted to say though that sometimes, I think it is right that they would skip that step because I would imagine if I suddenly found out I had a child, I would not want to continue hating said child, and the same if I found out I had a parent.  In some of my stories Snape's realization comes earlier and the hate continues until some pivitol moment when he decides he can no longer go on with the hate.  I have also met some people in my life that have just been very accepting of things as they come along, as well as fast to forgive and forget.  I'm sorry that you feel some of my stories move too fast.  As for this story, I will say that at this moment, Snape's feelings are not all that they seem to be to Harry (although we haven't been hearing from Severus just yet).  Harry perceives Severus not to care at all at this point, but we can't know for sure until we hear from him.  So, if there is a pivitol point in this story where things change, I hope you will look at what comes after to see any awkwardness that there might be between them, although the hate will probably disappear.

Thanks again for your review.
