    oh wow. you never really realize how terrible your actions of the past year or so are until you read into it from an outside perspective. I dismembered my shaving razor once with my teeth and nails. just peeled the front bit off and out popped 4 blades. This was really eye opening to how bad I let it get. I am a month and a half clean at the moment. I'm trying my best!

    Yes, finally - an in-character Snape, rendering your story not cliché. You can confidently say you're off to a great start.

    That was a sneaky title, "Solution" - I didn't see Harry's interpretation of solution coming. Hard times coming, but I trust Snape will be able to help Harry. He seems to understand the boy at least. Might he have had similar feelings?

    I also appreciate your honesty and courage to write sincerely about a tricky topic.

    Author's Response: I appreciate you taking time out of your day to review!

    I'm thrilled to hear that you see Snape in-character. It's becoming increasingly tougher to keep him so, but I'm going to keep on trekking. The challenge is up ahead - Chapter 6, in-character Sev POV? We'll see... it's so much easier to write from Harry's perspective... Snape's dialogue just seems to flow from my fingertips. I guess it's because we spent over a decade of our lives reading Snape through Harry, so it's tough to think of it any other way.

    *sniff* I have to keep reminding myself that it's not over, but it's over.

    I believe you are doing an excelled job with this story... And, as far as the reason... I think it would be more Sirius or/and Cedric if one needed a concrete reason; however, Harry doesnt remember his Mum, and while Severus telling him that she would be disappointed or whatever may effect him, not because of that. Rather, it may cause him to actually think. But, honestly, the poor kid has been through hell... The Dursley's, loss of people close to him, Dumbledore's manipulations.... What more excuse does he need? I am glad that Severus is trying to help him... And that you are writing it as a process, not a one time deal, and then Harry stops. You are being quite realistic about it. And the OOCness of the text... Perhaps not because if Sev had ever had the chance, henprobably would have stepped up if for no one else except Lily.

    Anyways, excellent story, and I look forward to the next chapter!

    Author's Response: I will now throw away all of my Ulta Beauty blush, because all I need to do is read your comment while I put my makeup on each morning. <3<3

    The reason paragraph is something I debated even posting, but somebody had mentioned the Lily comparison (and how Snape shouldn't have reacted) on my ffn reviews, and it felt like it needed to be addressed. I don't think Harry has really thought deep enough to uncover the roots of his problem, just lots of quick justification. But the three deaths are just as different as they are the same, you know? And Snape isn't always full of decorum, especially when it comes to Lily ;)

    I rewrote the last bits of Sev's dialogue to try and keep him more like bookSnape, but it kept going in circles. So I fudged my promise a little. But I'm glad you see the possibility! Thanks so much for your review!
