WOW, interesting...I look forward to future chapters...

Nicely done!

Oh, after reading Snape's tirade in the first few paragraphs, I was almost ashamed enough of myself to go away.  But of course I didn't.  This is already a tour de force.  I wish I thought I were good enough to beta for you but I can't see a thing I could do for you!  Of course I am dying to know what will happen. If this were already complete I would skip ahead to see what kind of ending this has, and if we will learn what happened to Hermione.

What an interesting premise.  I love that he's sure someone else is reading and is basically writing to them and not to Hermione.  Can't wait to find more about what is going on and what has gone on. 

Your use of words and language is akin to an artist's use of his pigments and oils. Lovely. :)

This was fantatstic.

Artful, direct, and powerful. A splendid example of the writer's craft!

While I was reading this I felt like I was back in college, (A good thing!) and reading something from English Lit! It was a fine read! Well done.

P.S. I have read Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, and you know, everyone seems to forget that Lolita was the victim!

Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words.  And don't fear, I have not forgotten that poor Lolita was the victim of a terrible crime, no matter what Humbert Humbert thinks.

I just discovered this fic and am fascinated by your approach, your use of language, your characterization.  Looking forward to the rest!

I hardly leave reviews, but the tone you use is wonderfully accurate and quite refreshing. Particularly the way Snape holds his content for the fans of Potter.

Albus Dumbledore strikes again!  It was fun reading about how Severus, metaphorically kicking and screaming all the way, gradually grew to accept and even enjoy Hermione's assistance and questions.  I'll be very interested to see if he ever does assign the Doxy egg problem to her, or if events will move too fast for them to be able to get to that.  I'm also looking forward to reading about the events at the Department of Mysteries through his eyes, as well.And of course, who is going through Severus Snape's belongings and reading/seeing this?  Will we ever find out, or is this kept completely in the imagination of the reader?

What an excellent chapter!  I very much enjoyed reading about the inner workings of Snape's mind, and his irritation with the supplier of Doxy eggs' theory of spontaneous generation.  Nice to know that there's at least one area where we poor Muggles have surpassed Wizards in knowledge!    Also watching his attempts to offer knowledge to Hermione and still maintain his forbidding persona was a real treat, as well.“Um, Professor Snape?” “Yes?” “…There’s still pumpkin in your hair.” Hee hee hee!  I love that bit.  This story is an wonderful read, but it's like a very rich chocolate truffle--you can't just rush through it, or you miss out on all of the flavor.

what a well written intelligent narrative:)

Great chapter!

You have written an intriguing story.  I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

I'm new to TPP and this is the first thing I have read. I must say that if this is the kind of thing I have to look forward to I'm going to be spending way too much time on here. You write beautifully. I am loving this story.

Well done, as always!

I love it but the suspense is killing me, that's why I am only reading when you've published a few chapters.    I am guessing this was written by Snape during Hermione's 7th year, after Snape killed Dumbledore?  Or is it later?  Is this going to be an epic, or shorter?

These 2 are so in character, really believable.  I am enjoying a story in Snape's voice.  The dialog is great.  Please keep it coming!

I really like the tone of this letter!  It's so perfectly in line with how I imagine Snape would write and speak.  I'm hanging on waiting for the next installment...  Keep up the great work!

Ah, this is so good! I'm so happy to see it updated!

Wonderful chapter! Can't wait for the next :)

Another amazing update, though I do think that Severus`s opinion of Hermione to be somewhat lacking. :)Looking forward to more!

Sneaky Severus, getting through like that. I don't think that will work a second time. Jealous Sev is amusing, and the slight hint of a Snapelike Krum is intriguing. Poor Hermione, trying to deal with a Snape who doesn't know what he really wants yet. Not that she does either.

“Miss Granger, you set me on fire.”   best ambiguous line *ever* ROFL

Leave it to Severus to talk himself into doing what he wants to, eventually :)

Quite the dream, there. Loved the perspective on Arthur's attack - and the unsubtle symbolism that is Nagini.
