And wasn't it more amazing when everybody believed in you?"

-When was that? Lily showed even she didn't quite well in canon, I think. It would be awful nice if Lily did admit to some human mistakes, but we all know that anything a Gryffindor does is right.

And James' apology isn't enough. But I suppose it's a miracle Snape got that much, if indeed he did feel bad, and Lily wasn't just saying it happened.

I do hope Snape dying in agony is enough to please all those former Marauders.

So adorable. I love it. :)

so great. While i was reading i rly felt sad. Since i always thought Snape's life was rly unfair

"wasn't it more amazing when everybody believed in you?"

Er, what? When did that ever happen? Even Lily only believed - if she ever did - for a short time. By the time her housemates tried to feed him to a werwolf she was so far from believing in Snape that she din't even wait to hear his side of the story before judging him guilty. And when else did we ever see *anyone* believe in him? (Certainly not Dumbledore. He believed his slave was still enslaved; he didn't believe in Snape as a person.)

But Lily did NOT believe in Severus. She refused his apology and dumped him like garbage after flirting with his tormentor, calling him "Snivellus," and mocking his poverty. Everyone talks about how wonderful she was, but she's no angel.

Wow, that was so deep. I'm not really a fan of Snape, but this really made me feel sorry for him. I really liked the opening paragraph and the summary. Great job :)

Hey,

Just wanted to tell you I enjoyed this one-shot. Although the grammar and wording is a bit shot, the situation in itself is beautifully breathtaking.

Though you can probably tell I'm a bit of a sucker for redemption for Severus :)

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
