A very good story except for a few small nitpicks. The snake terms and etc had to be explained in author's notes. A story should stand on its own, and not need clarification from its creater in order to make sense. Other then that, grreat job. Very few typos and mistakes, at least that I saw, and fairly good characterization. Ending was a bit crowded, but that's understandable with the plot.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I think the snake-terms can, actually, stand alone if the reader dislocates their mind and thinks like a snake. However, as a matter of policy, I give translations; some people are intellectually lazy, others simply enjoy reading dictionaries lol! I use snake-terms because, as a linguist, I know that, even if one has a direct translation, it is not always immediately understandable; all cultures have idioms, the meanings of which are not immediately clear, and all languages have words which cannot be directly translated (an example is 'miko' which, yes, means 'priestess' but has other, very important connotations which would be lost if 'priestess' were used). As I delved deeply into 'snake culture' in one of my other stories, I thought I'd use the 'snake terms' in this because, actually, a lot of reviewers have told me that they really love my version of parseltongue- until now I've not had a negative response.
When Severus Snape is left in charge of Hogwarts over the Christmas break, he is less than pleased to discover Harry will be one of his charges. Events force him to face that Mr. Potter may not be quite what he has assumed all these years.

A bit silly, what with Harry suddenly doing all this studying when it is canon that he doesn't like to. Anyway, nothing really special, but fairly well written. Keep on writing.
