Thanks very much for that. Yes Snape is definitely a hero. The books were as much about Snapes choices as Harry's. JKR proves that by putting Snape with Lily, Snape is driven to LordV by the horrid treatment of his youth, etc

What a wonderful piece. I like what you said in your notes about Snape's choices - I feel that he was the key to the whole thing, and that his choices were the more difficult ones. He may not have made decisions for the right reasons, but he made the right decisions, and that was what mattered in the end. You captured his anguish so well here - and I like to think that he found some comfort in the end.

Short but sweet.  I, too, wish we had gotten a more fitting end to our hero. 

Ah! That is so nice, Severus finally at peace and getting some of the love and thanks he deserves.

sniffle. I didn't cry when I read DH, but I did at your story.

Very touching and very well-done.  Thanks for sharing it.

I too hated that Severus Snape had to die.  He was one of my favorite characters.  I was practically crying when I read the book after his death and his memories.  By killing him off though it does seem to make him seem even more honorable as a hero.  You did a very good job at portraying Snape's exit of life.  I wish she would've showed that in the book as well.  Snape was a very important character and I knew him to be innocent when it first came to be unclear.  Did JK Rowling actually say she wasn't viewing Snape as a hero?  It seems she made him even more of a hero then without noticing with his memories.  *R.I.P. Severus Snape.*  Thanks for sharing your view of the end of Snape, it did seem a lot like what he would've done. 

Thank you for this one. It is beautifully written, tactfully done and does give a sense of closure that JK didn’t give Snape.  Severus deserved an ending like this…

Brilliant!!!!!!! I agree with everything you said in your notes about Snape... he IS the hero of the books. And this fic is almost as poignant as Always, or maybe I was already wept out. Whatever. Sev deserves recognition and peace in his soul. Three cheers for Severus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good story, and still brings tears when I think of how JKR treated Severus. thank you so much     love,barb

Brava, and amen to your final comments.  He deserved ever so much more.  Snape was the true hero of DH.

You made me tear up.  Very nicely done.
