This is very well-written, not to mention thoroughly enjoyable; this is, so far, as plausible as canon, despite the fact that it was published nine years ago, when there was a dearth of information on the Marauders Era. Wonderful work! I feel that my adding of this fanfiction to my favorites is completely deserved. :-)

Wow. That was pretty freaking awesome. I sorta wish something like this had happened in canon.

I am an awful fan of Snape and I loved your story.The lily-snape rapport is cool!

Dang. That was intense.

That's sad, bittersweet, and truthful.

Im getting sucked in...very good story..

Wow, that last conversation in Chapter 2 between Lily and Snape was utterly awesome!

Amusing. :) Very detailed of Severus I see. Well done. Caught onto others also.

But why cant he just be obviously Head Boy? :(

Interesting. :)

very good, would be interesting to read more of his life story.

Your Conspiracy of Silence series is in my humble opinion one of the truly great fan fics on the web- (not that I've read everything out there, but more than enough to know.)I am a Snape enthusiast. Adore your idea of his self-determination- a breath of fresh air after so much of the puppet scenerio than most in the genre leans toward. Your writing is a real joy to read. Your pacing, plotting, comedic timing, characterizations and dialogue all tip the scale out of the ordinary and into that lovely realm of artistry and brilliance. I am a long time fan. I believe yours was the first Snape-centric fic I ever read, still a treasure of a find. Was very pleased to come across you as Nomad1 on ff.n. Adding the whole delicious conspiracy to my favorites and doffing my silly headgear to you.

this is such a fascinating story... i'm off to read the next one :)

Oh! This is an astonishing fic. Serverus is just so calculated. He's thinking so far ahead, I wouldn't ever want to play chess with him.

I love your work! I first read this on wolfie's den but i couldnt find it for a while. I am so glad i've found you again!

Like how smart Snape is...so cool...
