    I’ve never liked Dumbledore much and his evasive responses only strengthen my opinion of him.

    Eeee! I'm loving this story. It's frightfully sad in ways, which is understandable given the reality of the Dursley household. But I'm happy to see some action being taken! And that Albus is good (so many fics write him to turn a blind eye to Harry ;-;). Oh, and I especially like how this all started! It's a very believable concept that Harry's anger and emotions would get the best of him to show such memories to Snape to simply shut the man up with the truth. I do so enjoy your writing and I look forward to more.^_^

    On the one hand, I'm gratified that DD didn't know. On the other hand, he is undoubtedly negligent in his self appointed responsibility "to keep harry safe". He totally dropped the ball which means he is unable to actually keep harry safe, leading me to believe that he shouldn't have this responsibility anymore. Harry is old enough to make his own decisions once he's given all the facts. That he is still making decisions for Harry without his input and without disclosing all the information is insulting and shows that he does't actually care, no matter how horrified he is.

    His waffling on Umbridge and protection of Petunia (a fucking child abuser) for the sake of the status quo and his personal plans, rather than justice and harry's safety leave quite the bitter taste in my mouth.

    DD isn't off the hook in my opinion. Nor is he capable of choosing Harry's protector at the Dursley's. I honestly don't think DD see's harry as a person; just a tool.

    Love (read: hate) how Severus conveniently didn't show his own abuse of Harry and will come off as the Hero in DD's eyes. And when harry disputes this, DD will admonish him, leaving Harry feeling unheard and his justified complaints dismissed as unimportant. That the abuser is once again getting away with it, with DD's knowledge and consent. Just like Petunia and Umbridge will.

    I seriously hope Harry doesn't just forgive and accept him. IRL, Snape would have some serious confession and atonement to do before any sort of halfway positive relationship could be formed. Forget about trust. IRL, that wouldn't happen for a very long time and only after a lot of work on Snape's part. I honestly don't think this Snape would be capable or even willing to do it.

    Does Snape even really care that abused Harry? Or is it just a momentary feeling of shame that he was wrong and was forced to admit that?

    Am I being too critical of Snape?

    Great chapter!
