I will add my voice to the chorus of praise and tell you how much I enjoyed your story. The complexity was dazzling, your characterizations spot-on. Thanks for sharing!

I'm seeing a pattern in your fiction, that Hermione is the one to puzzle out Snape's innocence, or in any case the one to hope for it most. If Rowling is a Harry-echo, are you attempting a Hermoine-echo?

Fabulous. Brilliant. And so very Dumbledore. The characterisations are spot-on, too. Another one for the Favourites' list ^_^

Very odd, but quite interesting. :)

This is absolutely brilliant. I couldn't have thought of a better explaination for the words. I have (probably just like you) been wonderering why exactly Dumbledore would have said those four words and not some other random ones.

Love,

that was good...I like it.

Wow. This was very cool. It made my head hurt from the complexity of it, and it actually seems like something Dumbledore would leave behind.

oh..wow...haha...great way to make a riddle out of dumbeldore's words...^^

WOW! That was very well thought out! It all fit together beautifully!

Brilliant! Impressive riddling, there, and so very Dumbledorish!

Jeez, how in the world can you think up such complicated things? O_O I'd've gotten lost trying to write the first part of the riddle. And then it all made so much sense...I seriously cannot believe it's not canon. Well, I can...I've read DH so I know it isn't XD

Though I must say that, in my honest opinion, this is actually better than Rowling's version. Hers, even though we all saw it coming, just kind of threw it in our faces. You seriously should write mystery novels; I usually rarely read them--seriously, I have only read mysteries from three authors, and two of those were impulse buys, while another I got for free somewhere--but I'd definitely read yours.

*is still reeling over the fact that someone can craft something so complicated, especially having only four random words to begin with, AND make everything fit perfectly* I can solve puzzles (given a large amount of time and all the clues shoved in my face, ha ha >_>), not create them. I'm more likely to create a paradox -_-

Um...yeah. I think you can tell I liked it XD

Wow, this story is incredibly detailed, and well-thought-out~
So, so clever!~

This was so...interesting...brilliant...wierd...so Dumbledore! It's the sort of thing he'd do! Great stuff!

Very interesting concept. I thought your characterizations of the trio-interaction were spot on (Hermione's "Oh, Harry" particularly stands out). I am skeptical that they would have figured the message out, though- Hermione may be brilliant enough to, as you showed, but it's so vague I don't see her having very good odds of convincing Harry and Ron. Harry's so set against Snape it's gonna take something huge and Gryffindor-proof to change his mind. Anyway, again, a very interesting take on the Nitwick, B, O, T line. I've always liked that one. :) It's very alliterative. I thought your message was spot-on with the same sort of half-rhyming rhythmic tone.

That was fantastically clever. It was also a fun read, and I love that there's still people who believe that Snape is good. Great job!
