- An interesting new development with the DADA teacher. I find the idea of an illness that drains magic an interesting possibility - after all, if it is possible to lose eyesight, or hearing, or mobility as a result of a disease, then why not magic? And I can definately see how it would have some pretty significant psychological issues inherent in it. An interesting idea, and one with a lot of potential in terms of character development.
I really liked the scene where Snape didn't show up on time, as well. I found his parental side very amusing, and liked how you explored Harry's lingering insecurities and his initial fear and flashbacks. I find it very much in keeping with the typical emotional progression of abuse victims - steady progress, but occasional regressions. Recovery doesn't happen all at once - it's a long, slow proccess, and there are obstacles and setbacks.
Author's Response: I am really glad that you have liked the story thus far! Thank you for the wonderful review!! I wanted to make Harry's recovering as realisitc as I most possibly could. lol. I've dealt with what he's going through personally so I think writing this story is more about getting out how I feel than anything else. lol. And other fans get to benefit. ;) How cool is that. Anyway, I am loving how Snape has just grown into this parental figure. Not that he doesn't have his moments where he is TOTALLY out of depth, but the man is amazing. I am having a blast writing about these two! Glad that you enjoyed it so far!!
When Harry appears at the Welcoming Feast wearing a glamor only Snape notices, Snape decides to find out what the glamor is hiding. His investigation leads to a number of shocking revelations---both about The Boy Who Lived, and about Snape's understanding of himself. Sixth year AU.

- Very interesting chapter. My favorite part was definately the opening line, "The lawn of 4 Privet Drive is at once a marvel of geometric precision and an offense against nature, in Snape's opinion."
I can just *see* Snape thinking that, sneer in place. Excellent job with the characterization.
It's a One Shot that takes Harry and Snape's first Occlumency lesson in another direction.

- Excellent job with the portrayal of Snape. I love how you showed just a glimpse of humanity, and yet kept him completely in character. I found it very believable, and yet touching at the same time. I'm very impressed!
Snape and Harry are locked in the Room of Requirement by Dumbledore. Harry's magic works, and Snape's doesn't. Will they kill each other? In response to the 72-Hour Challenge.

- Interesting chapter. I really liked the potions metaphor. How very Snape-ish! Doesn't surprise me at all that he understands his whole world through potions.
