    Hi, new reader here. I'm really enjoying your story.

    It's nice to see Snape beginning to mellow a little and how he has compassion for Harry although he can't bring himself to show it (except when Harry's pretty much out of it). I can't wait for them to grow closer but I know that it can't be rushed. There's a long history of mutual animosity between them and it's not easy to let that go. Still, they're taking small steps towards a better relationship, and that's great for both of them. I think they could really be a strength and comfort to one another, once they learn to get along.

    I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    A new reader! I love those! :)  Thank you for reading it all the way through. Good insight!

    OH MAN IT'S LIKE KARMA. I update my story, and boom, you've updated yours. And a sweet reward it is. It's so much fun watching Snape pretend not to care.

    Author's Response:

    Yay!  I hadn't realized your story had been updated!  I read it at the beginning, but I haven't gotten alerts...hmm, I'll have to check my favorites.  I could've sworn it was there...  Anyway, I'll have to go catch up on your story when I get home (and yes, leave reviews, because I know how fun it is to get them).

    Thanks for liking my story! Yes, that Snape - when will he ever just get in touch with his touchy-feely side?!

    I had forgotten the plot aspect of Harry's dreams. They are quite intriguing and I loved how Snape had to soften his usual approach to Harry to help him through the dream--all without Harry recognizing what was going on. I'm glad that Snape is still so snappish at this point, but I'm also glad that we're basically past the hate-fest stage. It's a fine line for me between rushing things and disliking too much negativity. You're doing great with that.

    Author's Response:

    I appreciate your POV on the progressing relationship, because I know it's not going fast at all. The way I see it, one week is not enough to get past 5 years of mutual hatred without pulling a fast one on readers. And you readers are way too smart for that.

    Sometimes I worry people might get impatient, but here's the deal...if you just stick with me, I'll get there. ;)

    Thanks for the review!

    Interesting chapter. The dream felt very real and very chilling; well-written! I liked the interaction between Harry, caught in the dream, and Snape, who was at times snapping and impatient, and at other times making an effort to be soothing in order to get the relevant information out of Harry, to see what exactly was wrong.

    I like this Snape. He isn't heartless, but he's still a harsh person. You write him very well; too many writers can't get his voice right, but you do.

    I also enjoy how I can feel what Harry's life is like. Like, how claustrophobic Grimmauld Place is, which made the visit from Ron and Hermione so wonderful (to the point where I as the reader was delighted by it too!)

    Anyway, well done. You're writing a very absorbing story, and I like how it looks to be a Snape mentoring Harry story; they can make a pretty formidable team if they want (only they don't know it yet!)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for the review, Ellie K.

    I'm glad the dream sequence made sense...whew! :)  And I can't tell you what it means to hear that you like my version of Snape.  And the visit from Harry's friends.  Please keep reviewing - I really want to know what you think as the story continues to develop!

    Wow...what an awesome chapter!!! Your characterization of Snape is so perfect. Of course the only time he'd ever call Harry by his first name is when he's basically incoherent. lol. I really liked the dream sequence though. The descriptions of the cold basement made me feel like I was suffocating. Also, I think it was brilliant of you to show Snape's sympathetic and concerned side emerge when Harry was sobbing (because let's face it...the boy never cries). It seemed like it really freaked Snape out to see him in such a state.

    But that said, I really think the brilliancy of this story lies within your ability to keep Snape in character. I'm just really, really loving this story!

    Author's Response:

    Perfect? *blush* Can't get a much better compliment than that! :)  I love that you love my Snape - he really is fun to write, so I always cross my fingers that he's fun to read as well.  Thanks for the review!

    well, when you put your plea for a review like that...how can i resist? here you go...your virtual milk chocolate wrapped review, courtesy of -the- belle...

    hmmm...i have apparently gained a penchant to identify myself by a definite article. how odd.

    anywho, lovely chapter! i will, as always, proceed by going through and listing all of my favorite snape moments...whee!

    mind you, i just realized that would be rather impossible, seeing as i would end up quoting the "snape presence" verbatim. and i'd imagine you would not turn to reviews to go through that...you'd merely scour the story. hmph. life isn't fair...*pouts*

    i also just realized that your snape is rubbing off of me, i think...i'm a bit more sarcastic then usual! all good though...sarcasm is fun! squee!

    and i can still go through other stuff i adore about this, so no worries there...for one, snape! and then, there is, er...you know..snape. and then, of course, there's our favorite potions master! oh, and did i mention...

    eurgh. not going anywhere...must focus...

    oy, i really want to force harry to have an all out talk with snape about his dreams! and then they can have a whole bonding moment, in which case i can coo happily from my little reader's corner until my virtual snape kicks me out and makes me disembowel dead smelly toads for an equally smelly potion.

    delightful, isn't it?!

    yes, i agree all the way, harry. the earth must be knocked straight out of its revolution before snape dearest would ever lose his insulting talents! poor you, getting all traumatized when he failed to deliver...

    Author's Response:

    THE belle - as you will forevermore be known to me - thank you once more for such a long review. :)

    Glad to hear you liked the 'presence Snape'! Life isn't fair - you liked so much of it that I didn't get to read it in your review. Hmph. Well, my first impulse was to write so few enjoyable lines next time that you wouldn't have a hard time deciding which to put in your review, but I think that may be a bad idea. So instead, I'll just thank you for the compliment. ;)

    Oh, but don't overuse the sarcasm bit. It's fun, but remember - no one particularly likes Snape in his world. (Well, not yet...) ;)  Although I can tell that in our world, THE belle is a definite fan.

    Yeah, I want to force Harry to have an all out talk with Snape too, but he won't even listen to his own fanfic writer! So stubborn, those two!

    Wow that was an excellent long chapter. The dream sequence in the beginning was weird since he couldn't wake up but atleast Snape helped him out. Keep up the great writing!

    Author's Response: Thanks! I was worried about the dream sequence being too confusing. Still worried, actually, but moving on to the next chapter, which is a lot more straightforward... ;) Thanks for the review.
