Poor Snape. He did what he had to do but no one will believe him probably, even with Dumbledore's letters. I thought it was sad that Snape is jealous of Harry. It's true that Dumbledore shows Harry so much preferential treatment. I could understand why Snape would be resentful of Harry, along with a host of other reasons. Very well written. I shall read on! Author's Response: Thanks. We all know Snape's nasty side - so I did want to show a possible reason for the self-hate that I interpret from his behavior. Snape is no good guy, but I wanted to show more complexity in his personality than just as a villain.

Really Snape. Still able to hate the James in Harry when he's fighting for Dumbledore. Envious and doubtful. It's really great. Author's Response: Yes, my Snape is a very flawed character, isn't he? But he keeps plodding along, trying to fulfill his promises to Dumbledore. And there are big surprises ahead for him, if he can stay on path. Thanks for your review!

Gee, this story almost missed my sights! Very well done opening - I especially liked the patronus letters. I think you pinned down Severus's weakness well - envy of others and how it turns to hate and anger. It will be very interesting to see if Severus listens to Albus and learns to "get over it" and be a better man for it. It will also be interesting indeed to read the reactions of the other order members on this new development. I am guessing some will understand it and others (I am guessing Harry in particular as well as Moody) will not in a big way. You have my attention so I hope your muse is on a roll! Keep it coming. Author's Response: Thanks for your review! I have seven of the nine chapters written, and am submitting them one every week, but there is some delay with this site. I think Chapter two is my weakest, but hope the others will be interesting to read. Let me know what you think, and thanks! And yes, Harry and Moody will have the most difficult time.
