Very good! If you could see me, I'd give you two thumbs up!

alright, so i've just been reading similar oneshots because of an airing of Philosopher's Stone just now. and this is by far my favorite. i'm not a snape/lily shipper, but i love snape for his tragic unrequited feelings (although some may argue over the unrequited part). poor sev, you poor poor man...

oh nice. Can't think of any crit for this, because it's very good and great characterisation and all :)

See the thing is now, I can't help but see this as a sister fic for 'desire' (which I don't know if your ead, it's not that amazing but anyway). and that gives me this hillarious image of both d-dore and snape both sneaking around the place trying to get a peek in the mirror without the others knowing.

I suspect much coughing and shuffling of feet at the times when the inadvertantly bumped into each other ('severus!' 'albus.' 'what are you doing here?' 'oh nothing, nothing, just patroling the corridors' 'uh, yes. me too' 'yes.' 'um.')

lol :) But this is a good story. even though it's quite short you get a lot of power in there.

No, you don't need a Mirror for that. How very true. Good job.

The last words are perfect. This was stark, but not harsh. Nicely done.

Oh, that last line gave me shivers. Very nice one-shot, I really like it.

I loved how simple it is, I think it suits the situation perfectly. And the last line was brilliant.

Wow, that was just, wow. Very nice job.

Wow! Excellent story! It was very touching, sad, and a heart-warming story. I wished Lily ended up with Severus than James Potter. It must have hit him hard in the face, when she married his enemy. I think that's the reason he doesn't like Harry because it would have been his son if he didn't make any mistakes. Oh, well. Tough luck. Awesome story! Encore!

Oh. I love this.
It's lovely.
Perhaps you should have developed it a little more.
Make it really REALLY tragic.

But then, the simplicity of it, suits the situation.
Afteral Snape is merely looking at a reflection, nothing more, nothing less.
