This alternate is just as good as Snape's real motivations. It's like all the impact of the seventh book packed into one story!

Oh, but this is spectacularly brilliant. "They will never know it, but it makes them brothers." Bravo. Heartily bravo.

Great Story. You show the complexity of the situation and Snape's emotions through your amazing writing. Great Job!

Wow. Just...wow. I couldn't stand the way H-bP ended purely for the openended question of Severus and Draco's fate. You haven't actually remedied that, but you've gone a long way toward making me feel better. This was marvelous. Bravo.

Wow. Just...wow. That was amazing. I can't come up with any words to describe how perfect that was. Big props. You're an awesome writer!

*applauds* Lovely, sad, and fits the newest canon... splendid fic for this miserable evening here where I type.
