    Yes! Harry accepted his apology. I am glad he talked to McGonagall and found out more about Snape. This gave him a greater insight into his true character. I liked how you explained Snape's bitterness. It made the story realistic while at the same time making the reader feel more sympathy for Snape. I like to think that this explanation could also be used for canon Snape. He was the bitter person he turned out to be because of all the lonely years that he endured. It mustn't have been easy to spend your life making amends for one fatal mistake.

    I am surprised by what you said. That is just like the situation I'm in. I want to become a writer but I need more practice so I have begun to write fan fiction. Unlike you, I am a long way from my goal. There is much to improve in my story but yours is fantastically done. The insight into the characters, the suspense, the thick plot, the emotional moments, they were all skilfully managed. You definitely pulled it off. I hope you do capture your ideas onto paper. I have a feeling it will be a great read!

    Oh, the bucket is there all right. I have been drenched dozens of times since reading this story. I can feel the bucket hovering over my head ready to assault me with a cold river. You should put a big warning on the story: A Summer Read Only. Risk of Cold Water Dumping Ahead.

    Author's Response:

    I think it does explain canon Snape, yes.  I don't think Lily would have been friends with the Snape that we meet in the books, which would mean that he changed at some point.  I've been very close to becoming bitter myself, but there's always been that one person to pull me back; what would have happened if that one person wasn't there?

    You know what, I like you.  We should work together on stories.  I will be happy to beta your fanfiction, and your original things too.  (I'm way worse about doing non-fanfiction in a timely manner though.)  I have a Facebook page set up for myself as a fanfiction author under my user name, "The Lonely God With A Box."  If you care to, we could talk from there, maybe move it over to my personal Facebook and/or email.  I don't want to give out my name or email over a public review though, naturally.  But seriously, contact me if you're interested in working together.

    I really like that warning.  It's made me laugh really hard.  You're supposed to be going to bed though!

    Hee hee.
    That was a quick answer. I am sure that anywhere is better than the Dursleys.

    So glad that Harry is willing to give Snape a chance.

    Author's Response: Yeah, he'd rather risk holidays with Snape than with the Dursleys.  One of the few times where you figure the devil you don't know is better.

    I'm glad Harry accepted Snape's apology. The talk with Professor McGonagall was a nice scene. She did a good job explaining the situation. I doubt that staying with Severus over the holidays was a hard decision - a repentant father or the I-hate-you-freak Dursleys? it's a no-brainer.

    Author's Response: If it were a hard decision, Harry would have asked for time to think about it, lik he did with the glamour.  That's a hard decision!  Severus was just shocked because the over-intelligent, observant spy still hasn't figured out that they don't worship Harry.  ::)

    He didn't expect that, did Severus? Thank you!

    Author's Response: He most definitely did not expect that!  Thus the quill falling on the desk.

    I love the way they are totally oblivious to Harry's home life

    Author's Response: Yeah, pretty much...  Snape will find out soon enough in the next chapter though, because he'll want to know why Harry would take him up on his offer!
