    You know what's weird? I'm a little intimidated by stairs too.

    I think it was a good idea. I know someone who Nearly fell down stairs years ago and is still scared of them.

    Author's Response: I got the idea because of something that happened to me once too that freaked me out so bad that it took a while to get over it. And in Snape's case, it happened a lot, and no one helped him, so.... yeah. Thanks for the review! :)

    I wonder why Hedwig likes Sev so much...

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Because she can see what others can't! ^^ Thanks for a thoughtful review!!

    My heart just broke for Severus in this chapter, especially at the end with the memory of his horrible father. No wonder he's uneasy about stairs even now.

    I hate that Severus feels so poorly about himself and I hope that he will come to see that he can serve the war effort in other ways. And I liked the little flash of memory that stirred and I hope he will remember more and more.

    Even though this was a rather sad chapter, I had to smile at Severus' thought that he liked teaching, just not people. Hmm, maybe he could be an animal trainer, lol? At least the animals can't talk back...unless its a parrot or something.

    Oh, you're going to be a history teacher? I was always interested in history, though I'm sure I've forgotten lots by now. Any particular area you're interested in?

    Author's Response:

    LOL! I can just see Sev training animals! Something big, slobbery, and is far too affectionate I think, something like Fang. lol That was funny. "No, you insufferable canine! I said STAY! No you blasted beast! No, NO! Get off of me! Stop it!!" lol I could write a story just on that! :)

    But yes, I want to be a histroy teacher. Medieval European history is my particular favorite. English and German histories my favorite of those. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for the whole "knights in shining armour" kinda thing. I'm also going to try and minor in English or music.

    Thanks again for the review!!

    Omg! What a horrible life Severus has had. Strange that he would have that in common with Harry!

    Do you already have this story written because you are posting so fast. I'm really impressed with how well this is written too.

    Update soon please!

    Author's Response:

    Ummm...no I don't have the story written, I'm writing every day. I had the idea of the story lined out before and had actully started writing the first couple chapters or so when my brother accidently deleted all of my works. (I had had other stories already written too *sigh*) So this is a revise of my original with a few new things added in. (Snape being a Seer for instance) But I'm thrilled that you're enjoying it so far! And I should have another chapter up tomorrow. Thanks for reviewing!! :)

    I'm glad you updated again. My hope is that Snape will get more of his memory of his time with Lily and maybe a little accepting of harry.

    Author's Response: No worries there! Thanks for the review!!

    Didn't Harry chuck that bottle cap away outside? Ooh, I hope that it not potentially bad, but I have a hunch it could be. Aww, poor Severus. That man does not deserve a stay in Azkaban. So not only did Dumbledore basically take everything good from his life, but he also let him go crazy in prison for six months? I will not lie, I never really liked good ol' Dumbledore, and something like your story makes him higher and higher on my "least favorite characters" list. Ugh! And to top it off, he feels useless? Oh, Severus, you are not useless! Oh, this tortured man, while a litte paranoid about things like being pushed down the stairs he can't get down...Reasonable considering what has recently happened to him, but I just want to run up those stairs and hug him (gently though, to not hurt the battered body). Love why he wears his hair long, to hide from the world. So sad. Are you going for something that he is in many ways still like a child, because it seems very apparent with something like the hair remark reminding me of the phrase, "out of sight, out mind." Aww... Ugh! Back to the stairs! No wonder why he hates stairs and fears being pushed down them! (You tie the timelines together so well!) Looking forward to more.

    I have a little constructive criticism. Nothing big, fear not. Just a few notes. Towards the beginning I think you may have meant to say, "Death Eater meetings" as opposed to "Death Eater meets." Also, Snape's long hyphenated title for Harry: "Boy-Who-By-Every-Right-Be-Dead-By-Now" I think you are missing a "should" in there. After he makes it across the room: "What, did Potter and Petunia not like the idea of him in the house? Well, probably now, but still!" Do you mean "not" instead of "now?" RIght before your time break: "...Severus stroked the bird unconsciously, enjoying the fell on it against..." Phrase should be "...enjoying the feel of it against..." Hope that helps somehow.

    This is your first story? Well, if so, huzzah to you! You are doing wonderfully so far! I just need to get myself in gear and get cracking on my own story...though I will never make as good time as you are. Slowest writer on the planet! *points to self*

    Author's Response:

    Hello and thanks for the review!! AND the criticism. No one reviews my chapters before I post them, so I try my best to, but I think since I know what I want to say, I end up skipping the obvious. Thanks for liking it so far! Everyone's been great about this. I was worried that no one would like it. :S But I've been wrong before. I'll try and watch out for my little mistakes better next time! My mind tends to wonder quickly from sentense to sentense, so I just let my fingers fly where they want. (Not always good sometime!) But I'm glad you like my little dramas. I'm a huge drama fan as I think it makes things more interesting. Thanks again, it means a lot!! ;)

    Oh, and fifty points to you for being the first one for having constructive criticism!!
