Given what we know about Snape's devotion to Lily, I doubt he would willingly give Harry a potion/poison that would simulate the torture curse. He's a bitter asshole to be sure, and his canon behavior toward Harry is unacceptable but he is not physically cruel to Harry as you've written. It just makes any earned redemption or change in behavior later in the story less believable. Also, Harry can be a dick in the books especially in 5th and 6th year, but your version of Harry really is the spoilt brat the Snape has always accused him of being. This is dick-ish Harry x 10 and soo much whinging.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you so much, dear author.

What a ride it has been to read this absolute gem of a story! You’re so good at writing complex emotions and plot, and your character development is on another level.
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this novel, I haven’t felt so emotionally attached to the characters in a book for some time.
Gonna read the sequel now, so happy this story has a continuation! I wish you a great day/night and tons of inspiration for your future works!

Are you seriously? The spy of light poisons the child whom he saves? Still competing with a child in front of the whole school? He twists Riddle around his finger. This is the most unrealistic thing I've ever read about Snape and Potter.

Okay, this is officially severitus-canon.
I love the fact that neither Snape nor Harry get softer or change behaviour out of the blue. Now I'm reading the sequel, thank you for writing this

Very well done. You not only wove an entirely believable and entertaining tale but used some points from ~later~ in canon, e.g., Snape's position and Harry-Ginny, that were far from certain at your time of writing. Characterizations were excellent. There were also ~far~ fewer English errors than most. All in all, very satisfying. High kudos!

Congrats! for devising a plausible reason to give No. 12 to Lupin. Good idea and unique AFAIK. Ditto for the blood-wards' uselessness against a resurrected TMR.

I probably won't review very much since it greatly slows the reading, but this looks now like a better fic than most.

not on chapter one, but I'm posting via desktop.
Love the relationship between Harry and Snape, love the tidbits of everyday life at Hogwarts, I can't wait till it's night and I can finally read another chapter

Awesome story!
