I understand the sentiment and the sacrifice, and agree with Snape's - dare I say romatic? - decision to let go. But a part of me does question whether forgetting something isn't also altering ones personality?

A lovely piece. A well written description of a defining moment. Thank you.

Very nicely done.

Lovely and so sweet, if only we could do that.
