Brilliant as always. You're story kind of reminded me of the scene in the POA movie where Remus comments on Lily's eyes and how "she always saw the good in people especially if they couldn't see it themselves". Alarm bells definitely rang when I first saw that part... especially because Rowling said that the POA movie contained clues about the final outcome of the series that surprised even her. Could the scene have been alluding, intentionally or otherwise, to Snape/Lily's past? Is Remus's uncanny comparrison what shocked Rowling so much? The evidence is mounting...

Awsome! Really well written and Snape didn't seem OoC at all, great job!

Author's Response: Thank you, Bradi. I'm glad you shared your thoughts! :)

Really good stuff. I don't usually read Snape stories but this one was definately worth the read:) You captured his personality perfectly in my opinion, and your depiction of events is really realistic and fitting the books. I also find that Snape having feelings for Lily is a really good, and possibly the only adecuate explanation for his behavior throughout the books. Good job:)

Author's Response: Thank you, Jamsie. Snape is my favorite character, so I write about him a lot. My favorite thing to touch on, incidentally, is his relationship (or lack thereof) with Lily. I agree--I think that's the reason behind his behavior. Anyhow, thanks for reading and taking a moment to leave a review. I appreciate it!

I now officially feel really stupid, as I mentioned Reflection in the last review and you didn't write that story. Wow. Um...so yeah. Sorry about that. Still loved the story =D

Author's Response: That's okay...completely understandable. Like I said, the goal of this piece was not to be about Snape's reflection over his past and actions, but just a glimpse of what he felt the day Harry joined Hogwarts. It's not nearly as all-encompassing as BJAuth's story, and not meant to be.

 Report Review

This was good, although I didn't like it as much as Reflection. I felt that, although Snape's feelings are realistically acute in this story, that you hit his character head on, the other was more effective. I still liked this, though, and good job.

Author's Response: LOL, no, this is definitely no Reflection, especially since it was written pre-HBP. In fact, it's one of my first stories--not meant to be a character piece so much as a piece simply meant to show Snape's feelings on Harry joining Hogwarts. ...A glimpse of the HPverse through someone else's eyes, really. That's why there's not as much detail. Thanks for reviewing.

Good fic. You're an able writer.

Author's Response: Thank you very much.

*applauds* This is very well written and it makes a lot of sense. It gives reason for a Severus/Lily ship. I love it! :)

Author's Response: Thank you. I enjoy tossing around the idea of Snape/Lily. I appreciate your review.

Awesome story! I love the way this insight into Snape's thoughts weaves around the actual Harry Potter story--well done!

Author's Response: Yes, we only see everything from Harry's eyes and it's nice to give others a turn now and then. I'm glad you liked it--thank you so very much for reading and reviewing.

great story , so exactly SNAPE ! , i always hated how he treated harry , he's just a kid . and i hated it even worse when the series showed how he(snape) was bullied , made me think -hey , you didn't like it so do become the jerk you hated - ...but this gives a real good reason (though i would never choose it ) for the way he treats harry - not that it is right , just that it makes you see where he is comming from . wonderful - i loved it - in a sad way .

Author's Response: Thanks, cleo. He is such a prat to Harry, but yes, I think there is much more to in than Harry realizes. Maybe someday--hopefully in book seven. I'm thrilled to have your feedback. Thank you.

Yet another wonderfully written short! You succeded (sp?) to paint us a view of what could have been going through Snape's mind that first night Harry arrived at Hogwarts. Very realistic! - Jenn

Author's Response: Thank you, Jenn. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope some day JK will let us know if I'm anywhere close to what Snape was thinking. Thanks again...I love hearing your thoughts.

that was brillant! it was so believable that I want to think that it's actually apart of JK Rowlings masterpiece. Oh I wish it was it would be soooo cool! I can totally understand where Snapes coming from.....YOUR SO TALENTED! I hope someday i can create stories with such beauty in them as you do!

Author's Response: Wow. I'm thrilled you like it. I think, on that level (if any of my assumptions are correct) it would be perfect reason to think of Harry as he does. Thank you so very much for leaving such a nice review.

Ah I actually did read it, but forgot i did... i like though... Yayyy fic with Snape while Harry's at school.. Looks like memories have caught up with him... aw I like how your stories portray him with very human emotions, if that makes any sense! Talk to you at the next review!

Author's Response: Yes...after all, Snape is human. He may have a hard outer shell, but he's a good guy--and I hope he'll remain that way until the end of the book series. Thanks for reading and reviewing, as always!

 Report Review

wow that was such a great rendition of Snape's thoughts... I would love for it to turn out that way in the actual story... awesome job!!

Author's Response: I would too, Ann, I would too. I s'pose only time will tell. Thank you for reading and reviewing, I'm glad you liked it.

O my gosh that was sooooooo good........Thank you so much, I'll never think of snape the same way

Author's Response: He's a wonderful character to write...and read. Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it.

 Report Review

WOW!! It is soo darn good! It was awesome to read thsi from Snapes point of view.... I love ho Quirrell kept asking questions about the Potters... And I like how well you've described everything... And that Snape in the last second decides that he 's going to make Harry hate him... And I also think it's cool that you finish up the story with a line from the book... It makes it so realistic, like this is what really happened from Snapes POV!! :D I loved it! Rock on!!!

Author's Response: :) I'm really happy that you liked it so much. I try to use little things (like Quirrel's curiosity and Snape's private thoughts) to flesh out the reasons that Snape decided to set himself against Harry. He's still selfish, but at least you can see the motive. Thanks so much for reading.

 Report Review

wow thats good but y did u stop?

Author's Response: Oh, I never stopped. This was only supposed to be a one-shot. Just a brief glance at the relationship between the Potters and Snape. If you're interested in reading more about Snape and Lily, you could try "Sweet Surrender" or "A Cost Too Much"...they're part of a trio of one-shots. I'm glad you liked it, sxcbxc. Thanks so much for reviewing.

You REALLY know how to write! Just GREAT!!

Author's Response: I'm glad you said that, because some days I wonder. Keep a look out for another Snape/Lily musing coming soon. I'm glad you enjoyed my stories, and thanks so much.
