I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
This is a fantastic story! Severus's change was very believable. In many cases, when he goes from being the mean teacher to the comforting guardian, the change is too sudden, making the situation feel unreal. This does not happen here. This story is certainly very plausible.
I hope you write a sequel since I really want to know how this will continue. Poor Harry must be very shocked indeed. Merry Christmas and thanks for a great story!
Severus cowering and stuttering in front of an angry Lily is a great sight indeed. The poor guy just didn't know what to do. I love how you characterized both Lily and Severus.
This is so sweet! Severus wants to be her husband and have kids that look just like her. That is both lovely and heartbreaking since we know its never going to happen. Great chapter!
Hurrah! A sequel! I enjoyed your story so much that I was hoping there would be more. Looking forward to it.
What!? This is it? Gah! I totally enjoyed this story and sincerely hope it's continued.
The only plot I can imagine is that of Sev and Harry's relationship. Or more specifically, how Severus can possibly atone for the damage and pain he's caused. (Breaking Harry's spirit as well as attempting to break his mind) Perhaps help Harry heal as well as protect him from those wishing him harm (Voldy, DD, Dursley's, The Ministry, The Press, The students, etc)?
Harry has been hurt so much for so long that it isn't something that easily fixed, or fixed at all. You've created quite a damaged Harry if he's already on the verge of suicide. Quite the uphill battle.
It's not like a snowglobe will fix everything or instill any sort of trust. It won't even open the door a crack since harry probably - rightly given his history with Snape - will think it's a trick or a lie or some manipulation.
Maybe a plot could be Sev vs DD. We all know DD see's harry as a means to an end, not as an actual person deserving of love, happiness, safety and protection given his actions (and non) towards Harry. I will admit I'm biased negatively towards DD and haven't read any credible fanfic that can legitimately excuse his cruelty and negligence.
Another plot could be exploring the effect of Snape's no longer spy status on Slytherin House. LOL, Will Severus finally crack down on sabotage in potions and quit protecting the bullies or will he still show favoritism toward them? Both? I can imagine quite the uprising in the Snake Pit. I can also imagine the implied Green Light those that have suffered under Slytherin and Snape will see it as and attempt to get their own back. Chaos naturally.
Hmmm....I think those are all the plots I can think of for now.
Still, I hope to read more of this engaging story.

I don't know if I've reviewed this chapter already or not, but just in case: I loved it!
The last line was perfect. What else could he do but sit down and weep? There must be decades of emotion to come flooding out after Lily left.
Wow!!!
Interesante despedida, ahora sin duda, viene la parte muy emocionante de la creación de puentes entre Severus y Harry,
brillante
