    LOL. So I go away for like ... a two-day holiday, and not only has this story been fully uploaded, it has also had its sequel uploaded. Niiiiiiiice.

    I love InternalDilemma!Snape, because he's so funny. And full of internal dilemma XD

    Not to mention I'm-trying-to-pretend-I'm-not-looking-out-for-you-when-really-I-am!Snape. He's just funny.

    I love how you made it completely realistic how Snape goes about changing (or trying to XD) his character. I read soooooooo many stories where Snape's like, hmm. I wonder why no one likes me. I think I need to change my dastardly wicked ways, and then he totally wakes up in the morning is is all like WHOA smiles and chocolate. Yeah. I have no love for those stories.

    But I DO have love for this story XD

    Go Snapey C:

    I loved this story! However, I really, really would recommend putting Evolution's chapters up over time. It would really increase the number of people who would notice your writing and increase the number of reviews because more people would review for each chapter. Anyway, great work! I look forward to Evolution!

    Author's Response: Thanks!  I'll follow your suggestion.  Cheers.

    I've read this story on ff.net as well as the sequel (which I LOVE) and was wondering if you were going to ever post it on P&S. I'm so glad you did :). I just love both of your stories. You're writing is excellent, and you do really well with characterization!

    Author's Response: Thank you so much!!  I'm so pleased you like my little stories!

    Well, if I don't just have the sudden urge to grab Snape by the front of his robes and say I TOLD YOU SO!

    Snape leaned forward and fixed him with an intent stare. "Please believe this, Mr. Potter. . . that no matter how angry or belligerent I may appear to you; no matter how insulting I may be publically, it is only a façade. It is not my true attitude." He sat back and glanced away as if slightly embarrassed. "My genuine estimation of you is quite different. In truth of fact, I find you to be considerably more intelligent and amiable than I previously judged."

    Snape - you big fat old softy, you XD I'd give you a noogie if it weren't for the fact that my hands are clean (and your hair is not). Not to mention that you're fictional, but whatever. A slight detail XD

    That puddle around your feet is starting to turn into a lake ... XD

    Author's Response: I like Severus calling Harry a 'satisfactory child'. . .high praise from him and something I can just hear him saying.

    "Snape's expression tensed and he answered stiffly. "Well, let's call it a small reward for your scholastic progress, shall we?" He shook the package at him a bit impatiently."

    Ah, Snape, you are funny. Scholastic progress indeed! Liar. You just wanted to see the look on his face when you got him a present XD

    "Why thank you, Minerva! Flattery is unnecessary, however."

    HA! That bit's funny just because it's Snape-with-sense-of-humour. Also, it's nice how you've switched from Snape to Severus as Snape and Harry's relationship has gotten a little stronger. Very cute XD

    Author's Response: The rigid sod can't even admit he got Harry a gift...poor dear.

    First of all: OMG SNAPE/HARRY LUFF! Well, maybe not love, but there's definately a puddle starting to form around Snape's feet...

    Secondly:

    "He had never actually eaten Belgian waffles before - he had made them a few times for the Dursley's for special occasions, but of course he wasn't allowed to eat such an extravagant treat himself."

    Yay. It's probably a really weird thing to say but I love Harry-is-abused-stories because I think it just makes it all the more meaningful that Harry doesn't turn out like his relatives, or like Tom Riddle or even like Snape. It makes the entire thing very ... poignant.

    Yeah. My quota for one serious moment a day is fulfilled XD

    Author's Response: I agree. Even in Canon, Harry is neglected and emotionally abused. . .yet he is capable of great love, when he has not known it himself. . .often not true in the real world I fear.  Still - that's what makes Harry so...well....Harry!

    "Ron snored gently and Hermione was muttering something in her sleep that sounded suspiciously like the dates of Goblin battles."

    That is totally Hermione, right there. I love it when authors get characters *right* XD

    I love INSIGHTFUL!-Harry, and OMG-HE'S-RIGHT!-Snape, because Snape should, as a rule of thumb, always be knocked firmly on his arse once in a while. You know. To rub that knowing sneer off his face. And definately not because we just like the idea of him being sprawled ungracefully on the ground XD

    Author's Response: "Sprawled ungracefully".....Ooooh....lovely mental image...I won't get any work done now.

    This chapter definately has some major "awww!" moments. But the best bit is this:

    "After a hushed, terse conference with Roker, he had grudgingly plunked a cup of weak tea and a saucer of three stale vanilla crackers on the table beside Harry and ordered him to keep writing."

    That's it, Roker - kick his arse! (or, you know, argue with him and force him to give Harry a cup of tea, whatever really, I'm not picky XD)

    To Snape's Conscience: I knew you couldn't be forced down for much longer XD

    To Snape: That's it, feel guilty and awful XD I hope you have bad dreams!

    To Twinheart: This story is wonderful C:

    Author's Response: To Sweartoad:  YOU are wonderful!  Thanks for reveiwing!

    SNAPEY. YOU ARE SO SLYTHERIN. I was originally like whoa he's shouting at Harry mkay that's not so different but then I was like WHOA he's shouting at Draco! Niiice.

    "The man was so prickly, trying to stay on his good side - if the evil git even had a good side - was bloody near impossible! "

    That's it, Harry, hit the nail on the head, but it's ok - Snape is really just directing his old frustrations at James Potter against you. He's probably a little bit pissed that you even exist, frankly, because you are irrevertible proof that Lily and James got married and lived happily-ever-after. But don't worry, he'll get over it and *then* he'll melt into puddles of love and protection over you. Don't worry - it's coming XD

    Author's Response: I meant for everyone to think it was Harry...I'm a sneaky sod, I admit. . . .which is why I'm a Slytherin, or course.

    Two favourite lines this time XD

    "He accepted the small pot of steaming hot tea the house elf offered, and settled in for a nice long sulk. Potter's declaration of hatred annoyed him."

    That bit was funny because Snape is trying to make himself out to be the victim - which is funny because he's an adult and Harry is a kid, and Harry's the one who is now feeling guilty XD

    "Oh, my." Minerva bit her lip and tried not to reveal her shock. She was actually quite fond of Severus, and she didn't like where her thoughts were taking her. "And...erm..what do you do in Professor Snape's quarters, Harry?"

    LOLOLOLOLOLOL! Yeah, I know, not really eloquent but things that I enjoy always make me revert to netspeak XD Plus the way she said it is like, I'm really trying to be subtle in my question but it just doesn't seem to be coming out right ... 8D

    Snape, you are a funny, funny man. Here is some polish. Go use it on your soul XD

    Author's Response: I think Snape has always seen himself as the victim, don't you?
