This was a fantastic story, and lady, you are a hell of a writer. Thanks so much for all your hard work making this happen, it's very appreciated.

Author's Response: Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement, and for taking the time to leave feedback! I'm so pleased you enjoyed the story.

JKR created interesting characters but it takes really great writers to make them LIVE. I was fascinated by this Snape. He was believable, loathsome, pitiable and funny all at the same time. Brava!

Author's Response: Thank you for these kind words. Although I know not everyone is happy with what JKR did with her characters, I think it is a testament to her talent that she created characters so many of us feel we know, or can get to know, beyond the boundaries of what she wrote. "Playing" with Snape was exceedingly fun; I'm so glad you enjoyed the results.

Just read your story right through--it's so good I couldn't stop. You've hit what I think of as the "fanfic trifecta"--gorgeous Writing, complex Characterizations, and an intriguing Plot. Snape's 'voice' is absolutely perfect throughout and I'm so glad you were kind to him in the Epilogue. I love how you created Petunia's story as well. Brava for a fantastic story!

Author's Response: You are very kind--thank you! I've been drawn to Snape's character from the beginning, but Petunia was a new character for me to explore. It was far more fun/funny/disturbing than I'd anticipated...

What a great story! There was so much humor in this, and brilliantly written too. Just enough sadness and seriousness as well. I loved the whole biscuit scene in the staff room especially... I'm not sure why, it just stuck with me, it had me laughing so hard. And also I liked how you wrote Vernon very much! That's just how I pictured him. Again lovely and well done!

Author's Response: Thank you very much! JKR and some of my first fanfic writer friends ensured that I can never quite divorce "Snape" from "silly." And I'd bet my last Galleon he's totally the grabby, bossy type when it comes to the biscuit tin. ;-)

I'm new to the world of Harry Potter fanfic (although I've read much Buffyverse fic) and think this is simply the best I've read in a very long time. I prefer the Snape perspective to the Harry perspective of the canon novels, but then I find Snape a much more interesting character than Harry as written in canon - and I would have prefered that Snape got a more dignified ending in DH that he got, so this is satisfying. Anyway, this story is just really superb - thank you.

Author's Response: I'm sure as you explore the HP-verse you'll find lots of other quality Snape-centric fic, but I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed this one! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

Wow, I liked the depth you gave this. I don't want to give you a big head or anything, but having just finished HPDH and finding it a tad lacking I relize that this knee jerk reaction is due the increadable well done fanfic such as yours. It has spoiled me forever for something that needed severe editing help. Wow thanks for making my recovery so much better. I hope to find your LJ. Oh I loved this story so much, I read it all in one evening!

Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words, and no worries about giving me a big head. I think I have a pretty good idea about my place in the writing world (and it ain't at the top of a bestseller list)! I do appreciate your readership though. I'm _grainne_ (with the underscores) at LJ; some entries are f-locked, but most of the Potter-related nonsense is not (but be warned that most of it is, indeed, nonsense!).

This was an excellent piece of writing, Grainne; thank you. Your turn of phrase, your wry humour, your intricate, if not completely explicit, plot, your seemingly effortless but very credible characterization: all made for wonderful reading.

Author's Response: Thanks--this is lovely to hear!

Thanks for concluding this story. Having Harry not hate him anymore was a brilliant strategy by Snape. I was somewhat saddened for Petunia to lose her mind and die, though a friendship with Lockhart was hilarious. I'm glad that they tolerate each other now, and I also loved the comment about Dudley and his wife. Great story, and thanks for posting it.

Author's Response: Although Petunia had been hoodwinked in certain ways, in the end she did have a choice. She could have accepted the reality of the wizarding world (and the effects of her own actions upon it); unfortunately, she chose denial, hence the madness, etc. Not cheerful, I admit, but I hope not totally out of character for her?

Thanks for reading and reviewing!

wonderful story, and nice ending :)

Author's Response: Thank you!

A satisfying ending to a mature, complex story. Definitely re-readable. This is such a rare gem -- and I'm glad you finished it before book 7's release, which will undoubtably have a much more unhappy ending for Mr. Prince. I'll have to revisit this story after book 7, just to cheer me up!

Author's Response: Thank you for reading, and for all these lovely comments! I'm glad I finished posting before Book 7 too, as I don't think I could have managed it afterward. ;-)
