Well, that was amazing.
Since I recently got addicted to Harry/Snape mentor stories, it was only logical that I would end up at the one written by Severitus herself.
And it was great! Very well written as you have no doubt been told. I also enjoyed your author's notes. You seem like a very fun person based on those alone :)
I'm sorry your wish of Harry being Snape's son did not work out in the books. I wonder how you felt about the way Snape ended?
I also saw many references to fanart but your website is down. Is it still anywhere to be found?
Anyways, I enjoyed this and I'll check for that epilogue you said you'd write. Is it another story entirely?

Thanks for all the effort this no doubt cost you, and for finishing this superb story. It made you somewhat of a legend.

Being completely honest... Id be more pissed off because my mom was raped and I am a product of that rape than the fact that snape is my father that is a bit weird on both Harry and Snape part because both of them treat the rape like okay it happened it's over with but honestly that's terrifying and horrible and snape should feel guilty and Harry should definitely be pissed off the rage I feel right now is so so heavy that I can't imagine Harry not wanting to kill Snape right now even knowing he is his father and it's a bit weird that neither one of them acknowledge it for the most part as a heinous act

always onenof the OG fabrics I come back to read. I miss a lot of these OG fics. so many awesome fics to reread

Like TV shows, movies, books, instead of throwing all the good guys at the super-villain, you have them approach one at a time, trade blustering insults, and get defeated. Still, I wish you'd posted the promised epilogue and sequel. I still don't know if Sirius died, or who else died while people were chatting and waiting their turn with Voldemort.

If Albus had chained Harry, Harry and the book would have stayed safe. If all the Serpent's Children and Lucius had been chained up, we wouldn't be having this problem at all. LOL

I noticed that nobody told Sirius how Snape rescued Harry from the ministry. That revelation would be sure to change Sirius' opinion of Sev.

For the 20th time, there is a discussion about Harry's parentage and true identity, without one bit of privacy.

Great rescue!

Time for everyone to use some animagus skills. :D By the way, I am not surprised that even thought this story is 17 years old and unfinished, it got to be so famous that Severiitis is now a standard vocabulary word in hp fandom. To address your depression, finding a life or death reason to get out of bed will help. Volunteer somewhere that really matters. Work with unwed moms, quadraplegic veterans, dog rescue, Meals on Wheels, transport for the elderly, something to make a huge difference in the world, to assure you that you are appreciated, give you social interaction worth getting out of bed.

ha. Dumbledore has asked Harry for lots of promises, and Harry has broken every single one.

Ron and Hermione discussing Harry's parentage at the breakfast table, in public. I wonder if Albus' book is important, and if Harry can get visions from it, since it is a favorite object.

I keep worrying about eavesdroppers. Harry could hear Poppy and Neville, so they should have been able to hear him talk about the Serpent's Children with Albus. Also, a few chapters ago, in a public hallway, Harry shouted that Snape was his father. The Golden Trio have been not so secretly in the common room practicing Animagus transformations and discussing the Serpent's Children.

Good writing of the major drama in this chapter. Bravo!

LOL

Your writing seems more female than male, though there are male parts. Also, you know you reveal your gender in An Old Man’s Meddling chappy 6? Anyways, your story is really good, especially the Snape/Harry interaction. It’s really realistic. Your other stories are quite well-written as well. Definitely going on my favourites list. So great job, and keep on writing fabulously!
