Thanks for your review! 

 I don't generally 'like' to steal, er borrow, other's works, even canon when it's word for word, but this was just too good a moment to mess too much with.  I'm glad you could appreciate it in the context of this fic. (Now this comment makes more sense ;) )

Yes, I thought DD saying that to Snape about protecting Draco's soul was awful too.  I see what he meant, but still, it must have stung a bit before he explained.  And of course DD could be wrong... murder just might be murder from a soul's pov, no matter the justification.  Quite a risk Severus is taking in that respect.

Yup, Harry will need to be clever to get answers... it might just all be in the timing... ;)

Thanks again.
