Hi there! This is such an interesting take on the familiar Snape-is-Harry's-father theme. You've breathed new life into the genre, loosly following canon, though with changes that just make *sense*. And on top of that, you've worked in an incredibly well-written original character... That's no mean feat, so color me impressed! :)
I really appreciate that there is an underlying tension throughout the fic - the mystery of Harry's parentage creates a backdrop that colors the whole story, without actually overcoming it. Nicely done! (that's not to say I'm not really, really looking forward to everything coming to light, lol)
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this. Thank you very much for sharing!
