Aww poor Snape. I luv the end with the reference to Dumbledore! Great job!

Brilliant. ^^

Very nice story, and very in-character. Especially loved the Dumbledore reference in 'white bumblebee'.

lovely dialogue

This was lovely. I adore fics with great wordplay. And I love the relationship Harry and Snape have here. It's not really very angsty but that's also another thing I love about it. Great job.

Excellent story.

Didn't get the last line but i loved it!

Oh my - this is perfect. I like how you have pictured them all - especially Snape. Thank you for such a wonderful one-shot. (-:

I REALLY LIKED THIS IT FLOWED VERY WELL

It is great to see how Severus is so calm, something we do not get to see in the fic. He has at this point attained peace.

Funny how he still tries to "teach" Harry, making him think for himself instead of revealing the whole thing which could have been easier.

A very well thought out short story. Most enjoyable. Really enjoyable! Good writing all 'round.

Nicely done.

You have managed to capture the subtlety, the complexity inherent in such a relationship in so little words. I have always advocated that the anecdote is a far better indicator of craftsmanship than the dredging novel.

Your allusions are again, subtle and complex. Well thought out. Your last line is compelling for whomever takes the time to sit and think.

Nicely done.

Oh, dear.
Just see what you've done: You made me stop reading, find my "Complete Works of William Shakespeare", and then you caused a non-native English speaker to struggle (with pleasure!) through Elisabethan Ye Olde English. ;-) Then the awed non-native English speaker returned to your fic, squeaking "Pindarus! Oh my God, Pindarus! Did Rowling also have it in her mind?!" That's what you can call author's full success. ;->

Ekhm. Seriously - it's a really good story (I'm referring to yours, not to Shakespeare's ;), with believable Snape (a rarity), not-irritating Harry and well directed dialogues. What can I say more?
Maybe: write more; you've found an eager reader.

Nice. I really like it.

Ohh...so good...I *really* like this...Will you please continue it? This is too good a story to be so short...although I am just being greedy, I suppose...and I can never bear to leave my darlings in tragic situations. Please? For Sev? And...well...I got a hint of Severitis in the story, but have you ever considered slash?
