Kristen Hudson 2008-10-05 ch 5,	abuseI'm still really enjoying this, Tambra! Your flashbackes help to explain why Severus is such a tortured soul and why he feels he can never atone, but he's such a strong character...he just keeps on persevering. I love that Stella wants to call him 'Daddy'. I can just imagine the looks on the Hogwarts' kids' faces (with the possible exception of some of the Slytherins)...but I think Severus could make a great father. He already cares a lot more than he wants to let on, though I think the youngsters are wise to him.
Kristen Hudson 2008-10-04 ch 2,	abuseTambra, this is such a beautiful story. I'm already in love with it. Very ironic in a way, cause I normally only read stories with Harry as a main character, and I'm normally not fond of HP fics set in America and with original characters...but you've won me over with your story. Stella is just a doll, and I'm even fond of Joseph Pony, too. Severus is very believable and I'm excited to see where you're going with this. I especially like how Severus is growing fond of the children and trying to curb his natural acerbic instincts, well maybe not natural because he wasn't born that way, but it's an ingrained response to the harsh treatment he's always received by this time. Glad he's changing.
wynnleaf 2008-09-30 ch 27,	abuseThis site is finally sending out alerts again! I read the other reviews before writing this. While I understand that Antonia wouldn't want to get into a deep discussion about Lily at that time -- and how could anyone pause for a serious discussion when children have just gotten up on Christmas morning? -- her comment still seemed like the wrong way to deal with it. Snape seems to have taken his memories of Lily and wrapped his life and feelings around some sort of idea he developed about her to the point where the Lily that Snape has idealized for years is probably far removed from the real Lily. I would think it would be very difficult for him to look back and see things more realistically, especially after all these years.

rumor and sigh 2008-09-29 ch 27,	abuseI really like the way you tell a story utilizing so many points of view. Sometimes it feels a bit jarring to have the scene switch, so to speak, from real time to a memory or to a journal entry, but in doing so, you give us such a complete view. Snape is either going to have to tell (and face) the truth about Lily soon, or else confront her in the underworld when he does his healing ritual with the medicine man. I found it interesting and a bit scary that Antonia didn't want to hear about it, when Snape was ready to talk. Gaius is a jerk.
Mother of Tears 2008-09-29 ch 27,	abuseThis chapter is great. I liked the flashbacks to the day Voldemort died. It would stand to reason that the tatoos would hurt even though they later faded. I have no idea why, but this site is not sending me any e-mails informing me of chapter updates. I had to look up in my favorites to see if any one had added anything. Is this problem happening to you too or is it just me?
Lotiolentus 2008-09-29 ch 2,	abuseSometimes Stella would stay up with him, watching him in stoic silence as he carefully put shaking hands around the steaming mug, mindful not to slosh the hot liquid on himself. His thin, cruel lips would curve down unapologetically, and he would ignore the girl. Wow, what a line. Like your story. It's the first time I hae ever enjoyed OCs
MaritimeStars 2008-09-28 ch 27,	abuseGreat chapter!! I like the way Severus is being a lot more patient but you are also explaining why he acted the way he did when he taught at Hogwarts. Please update soon!
excessivelyperky 2008-09-28 ch 27,	abuseIt's hard to see how Snape was treated by the people he was trying to save--though Poppy does offer potions, she doesn't offer comfort, which Severus is more in need of. It's an omen that the salve and balms don't work. I like Blaise's diary--his students knew who cared for them when nobody else did. Gaius comes off like a buffoon, but still obviously cares for Antonia. And I don't blame Antonia for putting the Lily problem off. She does deserve a day all about her--and the fact that Severus sees this bodes well for their relationship (however interrupted by children. Well, get used to it...). Good chapter.
meidlingermaderl 2008-09-28 ch 27, anon.	abusethank you for writing a new chapter! your alert is my sunday afternoon goodie - i always await them and you never disappoint me in delivering the next part of a story i really like. there is not anything i can say beside that i like the world you are creating - it is always intersting to see your imaginations?. i really like the storydesign with the change between realtime and past and i am curious about the next parts of the protagonist´s persoalities which you will show us. i will wait for the next chapter, thank you for your efforts to give me a good time (while reading ;-) greetings from vieann
whitehound 2008-09-28 ch 27,	abuseI like the idea that at least some of his students mourtned him - you'd expect a lot of the Slytherins would. There are some typoes in this one: "ascertained to problem", "He may have cried out" (should be might not may) and "I think she shall be" (should be will not shall). Also, I hafta wonder whether ponce means the same to you as it would to Severus, to whom it would mean either a pimp or an offensive term for an effeminate homosexual man. Is Gaius gay? I don't remember - if he is I suppose Severus might think of him in those terms, though it's an old-fashioned 1950s-ish word.
Silkysmoothe 2008-09-28 ch 27,	abuse'So poignant, and lovely,' she said as a single tear fell down her cheeks. My heart leapt with joy when I saw that you had updated--the wait was well worth it--You have not disappointed me. I did, however, (see I am comma-happy too) need my box of trusty tissues by my side. I can't wait for your next update (sniff sniff!) I never thought after reading "Philosopher's Stone" that I would ever fall absolutely in love with the man that is Severus Snape--but through the wonderful fanfics (especially yours), I have discovered a whole different side to our illustrious Potions Master!

Hamm On Wry 2008-09-28 ch 27,	abuseI loved the livestock scene. The way you have fleshed out Severus using memories of Blaise and others is really good. JKR makes him just so two-dimensional that in the books you don't care if he lives or dies...in fact with the way he interacts with Harry, you find yourself wishing that he ends up on the wrong side of one of Harry's curses.
hobgoblinn 2008-09-28 ch 27,	abuseThis continues to be a beautifully written and engaging story. This section seems a little less tight than others-- the emotional tenor of what's here rings true, but there's less tying it to a theme, or the whole. Maybe my reaction has to do with how Lily's introduced as a ghostly presence but her significance now has been delayed (as it rightly should be in the course of the story.) So perhaps my problem is feeling this is fine as a realistic playing out of events, but that there's something missing, something that gives shape to this as a story. Just something to think about, and not t all meant as a criticism. You've done such a great job all along hitting that balance that it seems more missing when one chapter doesn't quite get there. And I am still pleased to see this continuing, and will follow it even as my own life gets so very much more interesting. Thanks for sharing this.
