kim32 2006-12-04 ch 16, anon.	abuseI think your epilogue really shone. I liked Severus actually contemplating himself and it gave me hope that people can change even when they are old. You right Canon Snape will. He is such an ** as a teacher. I liked Mandy she was a good foil for Snape. Not many of J.K. Rowling's characters are super talkative, well at least the main ones.
Kim32 2006-12-03 ch 12, anon.	abusemore extensive review: " James’s life overflowed with the chances Severus had never had, and now he was being applauded because he’d been lucky enough to have the choice of where he went and who he followed." I just wanted to hit Severus. If he wants to go all power hungry and follow Malfoy that is his business but for god sakes stop pouting. Although I can see how you have to contrast their earlier friendship with the bitter antagonism in the book. I was surprised that Severus was as Ravenclaw but it was nice to see him having talents and not being alone and miserable for all of his childhood. And it was great to see the Marauders as kids too. I liked the action at the ministry. I love the wands exploding and I could really believe the relief Severus would feel after being double agent so long. It is good to have a back story for why severus switched allegience. ConCrit: "They must have been betrayed in order for the Dark Lord to find them - but find them he did, killing both James and Lily with Avada Kedavra." doesn't sound very newspaper like. I really liked Severus's reaction to James's death. It is weird when the people we measure ourselves on change. I thought the debate over Muggles in polite conversation was a great detail and I liked how you showed the awkwardness of previous death eaters moving about in society post-Voldemort. It was really satisfying to have Severus feel what the Cruciatis curse feels like.
The Fink 2005-11-19 ch 16,	abuseWow. Very good story. I've read it more or less in one sitting (truth told, I should be doing some writing of my own right now, but I couldn't put your story down!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Out of all the HP characters, I find Snape the most interesting and this is an extremely well thought out story. The one complaint I have is that the speed the story passed with was rather fast. You could have probably slowed the story down and put in a little more detail and description. In a couple of places, particularly the incident between Remus and Snape in the Shrieking Shack, the lack of description made the story confusing (I think I read bit twice before I actually 'got' it). Having said that, it's something that you improved on as you went on and the attack on the ministery was extremely well written - that might just be my favourite scene in the fic (well, that or the final one - difficult to pick!) - so I'm guessing that was something you were already working on. The other thing I would do is look at the formatting of te final two chapters - everything seems to have clumped together in one untidy block. I'm sure it's ffnet eating formatting (seeing as everything else is beautifully formatted!) but it may be putting off new readers. Overall, though, very good job. (And kudos to you for the Pink Floyd quote - Learning to Fly's one of my all time favourite tracks.) Thank you :)
Anna B. the Greek 2005-08-18 ch 16,	abuseJust finished reading this story... To tell you the truth, I didn't feel all that bad about Snape. It gave me the feeling that he got what he deserved. He went seeking for power, joined the Death Eaters, then regretted it and preferred to become a bitter person instead. Yet, it was intriguing, reading this journey through his life. You had indeed some quite original ideas, which I appreciated. Well done :) Anna.

SummerRainForever 2004-01-15 ch 16, anon.	abuseYou did something that no one's ever done before - i'm officially speechless! there are no words to describe how good this fic was. the plot, the writing...everything. oh my god!
CuriousDreamWeaver 2003-11-27 ch 16,	abuseA very well written story. I thought your use of emotive language was very well done and your use of imagery was very effective. I liked your characterisation and your overall storyline. Your writing style was smooth which made it easier and more enjoyable to read. It was very entertaining and a good read. Well done! ^_~ DreamWeaver
Gina Starr 2003-08-05 ch 16,	abusewow, its finished! nice ending, bringing it forward to somewhere we can relate to, totally AU though! but cool! but well done, on a great story! Snapes happy-ish! i like Snape more now, after OOtP, and so i appreciate this story better!
Sheyla Potter 2003-07-16 ch 16,	abuseGreat fic girl! update the others :S!
Gina Starr 2003-05-04 ch 14,	abuseSnapes the head of Slytherin yey the real Snape!I like your reasoning of why he acts different ways with the students, very believeable yey well done! I dont understand Charlie Weasley being there though, would it not make him exceptionally older than Ron?
Gina Starr 2003-03-29 ch 13,	abusehmm, i'm generally not a fan of Snape fics, i like Snape to be the nasty vindictive person he is!but you seem to have kept that sort of going, and i like this fic, tis interesting! "It seemed like the only one who had received his deserved sentence was Sirius Black" I shuddered when i read that! the irony was too much!
AbbaLoveU 2003-03-28 ch 12, anon.	abuseThis whole story is amazing! I was wrapped up in the story. Slow at the beginning but after that you were swept away! Amazing! If this could be published it should. It explained so much about Snape.
