Snape makes a difficult potion for The Brat Who...? My, what's this world coming to ?A great narration, and Snape is clearly totally confused as well as furious how once again nothing is his choice. I'm sure James would be as mean given these memories--if we take Harry aside. Snape did not touch Harry--obviously, I wonder what would have happened. I'm as lost as Snape as to what this soul-swap actually means. How come Remus expects to tease out James.. very curious!

I enjoy your story looking forward to learning how Harry will react when he learns what is going on

Hi, I admit I wonder how you will solve this soul-swap! looking forward to your next chapter!!

SO COOL, great idea

thanks for writing

I liked this chapter as well, you made the conversations beleiveable

In my souvenir Harry was caught by Snape while looking in the pensieve ? And then a very angry Snape refuses to give him more occlumency lessons. Is that a choice of yours for the rest of the plot ?

As this is supposed to be a SS/HG I wonder where this lead and how Hermione will be involved in this. DOn't take this the wrong way I really like your story. I'm just curious.

You seem to have a good grasp on the characters of the kids! I find Harry and Ron highly irritating the way you've written them. Of course I always find Ron irritating...

Lupin, hm? Yes, I find him an odd choice to speak to Severus, too. I thought maybe Albus was going to hint at getting Lupin to teach Potions in his stead... but what? Appeal to James' soul? Not fond of James or the idea of his essence popping out of Severus in a seance to commune with Lupin or Harry! 

Don't mind me, just thinking in print...

Just started to read this. OMG, how horrible for Severus! It boggles the imagination. What it would be like to have a portion of your 'self', the most mysterious and integral part of oneself, not be your own, but your most hated enemy. But then there are 'organ donors' ... so maybe Sev will look at it in that light.

Now I am looking forward to reading the next chapter! 

Wow what a very interesting plot. But I must say I did not understand the spell and its implications quite completely until the end. And I also must say you're an expert in the art of suspense. I was even wondering if I would know before the end of the chapter or if you devilishly make me wait for the next with a sadistic cliffie ;). Bravo for this brilliant beginning.

Now you've got me wondering if Snape knew that Pettigrew was a Death Eater back when SS joined. And if they were both Death Eaters at the same time, why wasn't Dumbledore informed? Well, maybe I'll get the answer to that on the 21st!

It's interesting and irritating to read the way the Harry and Ron have everything so twisted to make what Lupin told Harry about James fit within what they already know. Especially the way they marvel at how wonderous James is for doing all the very same things Severus does for real. [Well it IS real!]

Thanks for the great chapter. 

Gheeeeze, what a mixed up mess Harry is going to be! With every chapter I find myself contemplating the possibilities. Like, does the soul and the brain actually function together in any way, or is the soul comparable to electricity and the brain comparable to the computer. One would have to think that on some level that each are aware of the other but can a 'life-force' compel a person to do anything as the brain does. We know that once someone is brain-dead that they no longer have control over their bodies. So, to my way of thinking, Severus having James' soul should actually have no affect on Severus at all, except for Sev to be totally freaked at the concept. I should think that maybe Trelawney could have a word or two with James, though!

I think this chapter is the best one in the story, it has a lot of Lupin / SS dialogue, and Harry just bumbles into the info more like how things go in real life

Very interesting start
