Aw, that was really sweet in a Snape-like way.
I really love the way that you keep Snape in character, but still allow us to feel empathy for him, and he is starting to see Harry in a different light. That is not an easy feat--to balance it.
I'm really loving this story. I can't wait for the next chapter and to see how the relationship between the two might change after this. I'm sure that Snape is realising that there is more to Harry than he assumed.
Author's Response: Thanks Pandora! I know sometimes it is so tempting to make Snape go all soft but the guy's a little bitter and kind of an ass so I think he has to heal a bit first haha. Glad you are enjoying the characterizations.

Really enjoying this so far! An unusual take on the post-Occlumency fic, and I really like the way you're starting to shift Harry's perceptions of Snape and vice versa. Looking forward to more!

love this story so far, I wondered why Severus was never made to let go of his anger towards Harry's parents and his dads friends. How he treated Harry was way unfair. But his life wasn't a piece of cake either.
You've done a great job developing this scenario while keeping Snape and Harry in character! I'm enjoying the story. :-)
Do you want minor corrections? For example, you have "curse through" rather than "course through." (This is probably a typo, but if not "course" in this sense means to race swiftly, from the term for hunting with a greyhound, whippet, or other hound that hunts by sight.)

I like this caring Snape.
And I'd really like to read the reaction to his 'attack' in Potions class with Snape & Umbitch

Definitely positive thank you for a great chapter
Hahahaha. They worked sort-of almost hard on the essay. And got bad grades. Bummer. Umbridge interrogating the students in Snape's classroom was a great scene. Clearly they hate her even more than Snape. Sounds like Snape was able to teach Harry some Occlumency technique since Voldy wasn't able to get into his mind. Poor Harry - damned if he learns it or not. One comment - you mentioned that Harry wrenched. I believe the word you wanted was retched.
Looking forward to more. Can't wait
