Thank you for completing this excellent story
Well, that was one hell of a chilling story. Your writing is very good, I hope that you write other stories as well. Anyway, this was really nice.
Don't think I have ever read anything like this before. Liked it! :)
ummm....i suppose this was a good story just not believable from harry's point of view. you have completely dismissed the effects of torture and it's lasting repercussions. no torture victim is ever going to "respect" their torturer especially when they go to great lengths to recreate the scene. betrayal by both snape and dumbledore would be the very least of his feelings. being forced to thank and be cared for by one's torturer in a prison cell is just ludicrous.

erm...ok? A bit confused by the ending there....
I was confused by the ending. After reading it a few times, I can only speculate that Snape tortured Harry on Voldemort's orders. Then Dumbledore erased his memory because otherwise Snape would have refused to treat him. Even if I'm right, I'm still not clear on why Snape would refuse to treat Harry if he knew he was responsible for Harry's condition.
However, I liked that Snape and Harry didn't have a big heart-to-heart at the end. I especially liked:
"Snape had no desire to explain his actions to Potter"
and
"Some things can never be set right"
They have an ambiguous relationship and it's great when authors reflect that.
There's a certain style to your writing that I really enjoy. Good luck and may your muse stay with you!
Somehow the dark tones of this make me wonder if a companion story would be about Dark!dumbledore. No one deserves to be tortured and then confined with the torturer. Stockholm syndrom effects like Harry's understanding might ensue, but really could you forgive them in your right mind. If Dumbledore manipulated the whole thing, it would make some sense. Harry now trusts Snape, whom he previously doubted. He is also extremely grateful. Snape had his mind manipulated, more may have occurred than he knew. Yet he too is grateful for Dumbledore's understanding and help. Well written, but sure brings up some ideas doesn't it?
