    Excellent analysis, really. You've made some very good points with this memory and discussion--things I wonder if JKR herself even considered as she wrote.

    Author's Response: Thanks! :-) I read where JKR said she'd deliberately left some things open-ended in the series so readers could speculate about them. I can't help thinking that the scene after the 2nd round of Legilimency may have been one of them! Something about it wouldn't stop nagging at me, and after analyzing EVERY Snape scene in HPB, I came up with this hypothesis. Glad you enjoyed! And thanks for the review!

    oh my god ! I've never thought it this way ! very good interpretation, even if rowling said that she "doubted very much that Harry would ever go see the portrait of snape". But actually, sometimes, we're more "rowlingians" than herself !^^

    Author's Response: Hee! I'm sitting here trying to wrap my tongue around "rowlingians"!!! Think I FINALLY managed to pronounce it! I do know what you mean, although I normally go strictly by what is revealed in canon, rather than what JKR may have said in an interview at some point. I hear she has a website, too, but I've never been on it. So glad you enjoyed the story-- I spent the better part of 2 years mentally trying to craft my idea into something both coherent and readable. / :-P / Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

    I love this oneshot!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for saying so! I kept going through HBP with a fine-toothed comb, trying to piece together all the info from all of the Snape scenes, trying to figure out WHAT THE HECK JKR was trying to show us without actually telling us! This is my take on what I think she really had going on in the bathroom scene, although we're misdirected to believe that the second round of Legilmency concerned more about the Prince's book.

     I know a lot of people refuse to read one-shots for some reason-- they don't even think a one-shot qualifies as a "story" (although, back in the day, they were referred to as "short stories"!). So I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to not only read but also to leave a review! :-D

    Bravo! Brilliantly done - a great way to add dimension to the scene. I love it. And I love the end.

    Well writ! ^^

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! I put so much into creating this story, I'm thrilled to get a review like yours, which lets me know that all the effort was worthwhile. Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for taking the time to tell me so!  ;-D

    Wow, that's a complicated story with lots of twists. I need to go back and re-read that scene in the book, then re-read this.

    Author's Response: *snickers!* You might actually want to scan through the entire HBP volume & read ALL of the Snape scenes so you can see all of the "clues" JKR scattered throughout the story. This is just my interpretation of her work!

    A brilliantly original storyline with masterfully portrayed characters and great character interaction. Loved it

    Author's Response: *blushes* Thank you so much for the great review! I worked so hard on getting the story "just right", so your feedback makes me feel that it was all worthwhile! Glad you enjoyed it so much!!! :-D

    That was really good. I wish the interview of Snape and Harry talking again was included, though.

    Author's Response: The old saying goes, "Always leave your audience wanting more!" One day, I hope to write more about Snape's portrait speaking with Harry, but it would probably be in a different story altogether, rather than a direct sequel to this one. Thanks so much for reading-- glad you enjoyed it!-- and for leaving a review! :-)

    GAHH!! How could people have missed the significance before?! You're an absolute genius. And I absolutely ruddy well loved this. Characterisations were perfect, and I love the last line; it gives a real sense that THEIR story is not over, just because this fic is. I hope that makes sense... I'm a bit hyper at the moment :)
    Are you planning on a sequel? It'd be fascinating to see their interaction when Harry returns to Hogwarts. I'm sure he has loads of questions to ask Severus.
    Anyway, brilliant fic!! x

    Author's Response: Wheee! Thank you so much! As for why people didn't see the significance before-- I think JKR is a master of misdirection, like literary sleight of hand. We all saw what she HOPED we'd see, so we wouldn't focus on her other hand! It's THERE-- if we look away from the OBVIOUS! /// As for my being a "genius"-- well, my OTHER brilliant idea from HBP was that in DH we'd find out Lupin was an unmarked Death Eater! (Glad I was wrong on that score!!) /// No specific sequel planned at this time, but I WON'T say "never"! So glad you enjoyed it, and THANKS for taking the time to tell me so!

    Wow this is a thought I hadn't had well done for thinking of it and for a great one shot!

    Author's Response: Hee hee! With so many people saying WOW, I must be doing something right! I can remember the moment the idea hit me several years ago-- and I said WOW! I didn't see it coming, then BLAM! The freight train of realization slammed into me. Working it into story form was a challenge, but the reviews have made it so worthwhile. Glad you liked it, and thanks a million for letting me know!

    Wow...
    That was just... wow.

    I loved it. Seeing things from Severus's perspective is always interesting, but you did an incredible job of telling this story.
    I loved seeing Harry go through the memory and see "the other person's point of view".
    I really loved the discussion between Dumbledore and Severus. I never really thought about Draco despising Severus so much that he would try (no matter how indirectly) to kill the man. And then seeing that Harry actually saved Severus's life by cursing Draco. I'm still going on about that in my head. I can't believe that I didn't see that before.

    Stupendous story! And I would love to see some of the conversations between Severus and Harry. ;-}

    Author's Response: Thank you so much for your many compliments! I had a terrific time writing this after pulling the ideas all together! At first reading, I'd just taken HBP at face value-- but then I began to DIG... ! Yes, the conversation(s) between Snape & Harry would be fascinating. Since I wrote this as a stand-alone, I don't have a specific sequel planned, but it's definitely something to keep on the back burner! Thanks again for a fab review!!! ;-D
