*gasp* your so evil!! just kidding hahah. But really... what is it? Severus' Patronus?

This charmed me as well and I felt happy reading it, although you are right, the first is just a bit more layered then the second, but I enjoyed this couplet so much I have decided to add it to my collection of favorites!

Eck! I luved it so! I just love the little scene between Sev and Eileen. AB-so-lute-ly luved it. Prob. the first Snape fic I've seen that I liked so. Just love everything about it. off the the next bit...

I'd love to read some more about Snape being bullied by the gang of muggles.

"Lucius says he’s never even been into a kitchen."
You made my day with this!

A witty piece, well done.

=D

Not one of my favorites of your's - I was always relatively neutural about Snape's char, and therefore didn't really care either way. I definitely liked the first drabbley-thing better, but they were both good; bittersweet, to the point, and intriguing. Good job! =D

Going on favorites.

"He wishes beer wasn’t so heavy."

*sob*

And the next one...funny ending. :)

yes, this must have been his best memory, that of a possibility for a new life... reading this comes to my memory the sentence in DH where Harry thinks that Hogwarts has always been home to him, to Snape and even to Tom, the better place.

You have chosen two moving and original moments for your further development of what we know from DH, very well done!

Sad and beautiful.
I love your end, where his need for trevenge is perfectly understandable, and the fact that here he has the will to find safer or better ways to live, no matter at which cost. It is a will that has always made him able to fight, until the moment his *creator* decided to give him such a miserable end.

wonderful! i love how he is horrified (kinda) about the shape his potronus takes... nice portrayal of how he can't find a good memory, but i like the one he finds. :):)

Lol, this is funny this last one ... in a Snapey way! That last line was brilliant ...

Aww ... *cries* ... this actually made me feel sorry for Snape.

Anyway, on to my opinion on your stoty. This is beautifully written, very well characterised, and basically a great look at the life of Snape.

Lovely imagining of the first Boggart lesson - very fitting that Snape's Boggart should be a Dementor at this stage in the game. I had some issues with whether the ending fitted with canon, but well written as always.

Now we know everything about Snape - and this is a very believable, well-written snippet. Poor little bugger, it must have been just like that. Nice touch about Lucius never having been into a kitchen.

I would've thought his best memory would have been Lily, but then again I'm a Lily/Snape shipper.

I usually hate drabbles, but this one drew me in. Very good job of working with canon.

Again, very xonvincing. Btw the plural of Patronus ought to be Patroni, or conceivably Patronuses, but it won't have an apostrophe in it at any rate.
