Hmm... I am really trying to wrap my OWN mind around all of this. So, Tim is actually a separate person, not a reincarnated child-Snape in "Tim's" body? Along with adult Snape's mind now intruding? And then there's the wand-- all I can say is you'd better update SOON! I don't think I can wait a year (like some other authors take) to get this skein unraveled!
Author's Response: I promise I will update soon!
I will say, it's important to ask the philosphical question: are soul, mind and identity necessarily the same thing?
