I am a grateful fan of Ms. Rowling and of her overwhelming Byronic Character, Severus Snape! Please check out the first chapters of each fic (except for "How Can I Tell You," which is on Chapter 2) to see pictures of the Heroines.

Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

That's interesting, despite all his self-loathing, he was touched by Moira and wants to help her. All is not yet lost!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
He still has a sense of compassion for others. Although in a couple of chapters I don't know if you'll still think so...hmmm.

I've always thought that Snape and Lupin could be friends. I'm looking forward to seeing their friendship flourish.

Thank you! I hope you like how I portray their friendship as it grows.

Wow ... that was intense. And thus we see the 'real' Severus Snape -- the harsh, bitter man who loves no one and knows no love in return.You've convinced me.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
The 'real' Snape that he shows to the outside is that man. However, he still loves Harry and will always see him as his son. Later, Harry will learn about his past and that will be an enormous hurdle for both men to overcome.

Uh, oh .. the shit's really going to hit the fan now, isn't it?I'm sure poor Severus will find some way to blame himself for Lily's act.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Very astute! He will indeed blame himself and thus the self-loathing will begin!

Well, this is getting more complicated, isn't it?I think Lily will soon have to take a long, hard look at her relationship with Severus.And Severus may well have to face the bitter truth -- his and Lily's relationship isn't healthy for any of them.Off to read the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
It's too bad Lily can't be honest with Severus. He's working through his issues and accepting Harry- wow! that is huge! Any relationship that cannot bear the truth is doomed to failure.

HBF,I want you to know that I loved this chapter very much - especially the scene where Lily hands Harry to Severus to hold... So much it's inspirational to me! I drew a pic of it. I hope you don't mind, I put it on my LJ with a snippet of your chapter. I was VERY clear it's your story, although I don't know who you are - only my drawing is mine... I hope you don't mind. I asked SW to send you the pic for your chapter, too! I hope you like it.

That is so cool! I feel very honored and can't wait to see it! If you like I could attach the pic to the fic (that is if SW gives permission) so everyone can see it.I'm so glad my fic has been so inspirational to you. It's good to know one's work can move people.Thanks for reviewing!

Yes, you can. Just ask her how. I have used photobucket for The Enchanted Tower Room's pics and the one on chap 4 of Plight-Trothed Bride.

i couldn't review the previous chapter because it was just too sad, and i wasn't sure if i would keep reading, but i figured i'd see where you take things. it is an interesting take on why snape behaved towards harry as he did. i always like snape and lupin as friends, so i like that development. and i liked your choice of song at the beginning of this chapter. i've always loved that song, and the lyric is very fitting to this situation.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the song I chose. Lupin and Snape will continue to grow closer, and Lupin will help SNape through some difficult times. I hope you continue to stay with the story, I promise that Severus will have his day.Thanks for reviewing!

At laest he seems to have found a friend at las (whether he likes it or not). I can see how it would tear him apart to see so much of James in the boy he loved as his own. I suppose if he would stop treatinh Harry so badly, then he wouldn't look at Severus with so much hatred.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I will explain in later chapters Snape's reasons behind his harsh treatment of Harry. There is a method to his madness! I'm curious to see how people will think of Lupin and Snape's growing friendship. Lupin will come to mean a great deal to Snape and Snape will grow to lean on him more and more as this start coming together with Harry finding out the truth about his mum.Thanks for reviewing!

And so begins the process of Snape shutting himself down emotionally. How terrible for him to feel that his family has been ripped from him. I can see why he would feel even more guilty over Lily's death now - she chose to kill herself rathether than be with him. I wish he could see it was her faul, not his.I hope he finds some light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
He will. It will be a process, especially when he has to face Harry with the truth about him and his mum!Thanks for reviewing!

How very sad. That she could not let go of the past enough to grasp onto what she had for the future - not even for Harry's sake. Sigh. :-\Great writing, though! :-D

Yes, it is sad. I hope you stick with the story and see how it unfolds. Thanks for reviewing!

Poor Severus. It's tearing him up to keep this inside and slient. It's wrong - If he'd only been honest with himself and with Harry he'd have a deep friendship with the boy. Harry would react to him like he did to Hagrid, if only to know more about his mum. But it's interesting twist as to why Snape is so bitter toward Harry.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
THnaks doe reviewing. Harry will find out about his past with Snape and will have to go through a lot to deal with it. It is a shame he couldn't have kept Harry and raised him.

I hate this happening to Snape. Poor guy. The reasons he doesn't want to tell Harry are understandable, but I can't wait for him to "get on with it" and tell him. LOL I also like that he was wondering where his boy was when Lily was being buried. That strikes me as a true parental instinct. Good work
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, he will keep on seeing Harry as "his" son. Although, there is much more to be worked out before he and Harry can find each other again.

Someone in this story badly needs a hug!... Hmm , any volunteers? Great chapter :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, Severus does need a hug. He's going to need lots of good ole fashioned TLC. He will get it. I promise.

That is so sad, actually. I hope things improve for Severus. To live a life like that. It was amazingly selfish of Lily to do that to him.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, she was very distraught and not thinking clearly. Things will improve for Severus, eventually. He still will have a hard time of it for a while.Thanks for reviewing!

I just want to shake Dumbledore, and ask him what he was thinking! I'm still upset that he took Harry and gave him to Petunia.
I wonder who he will find love with. When will Harry know the truth (I hope before he grows up).
Whine.... Please hurry with another one....whine.
I really like this story.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Dumbledore will have in interesting discussion with Harry about Snape and Lily. He will regret what he did by taking Harry from Snape.I'll get the next chapter into the queue. Thanks for reviewing!

the image of severus staying up at night, crying in the rocking chair tugs at my heart strings.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Thanks! I have heard some people say a crying Severus is an OOC Severus, however, remember he was crying on the floor of Sirius' bedroom holding Lily's picture in DH? The Private Severus is very different from the Public Severus.Thanks for reviewing!

I know you had to send Harry to the Dursley's and I love how you made everyone believe he came on Nov. 1. I will keep reading this.Can't wait to see where you go with this.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Thank you. It seems this story will run parallel to canon, but there won't be just a rehashing of "same old, same old", a life outside of Hogwarts will be explored before Voldemort's return.Thanks for reviewing!

On the road to self-destruction... I do wonder how you will make your way to the whole canon with Snape in this mindset. Plus, I already pity Harry, because he will feel all the more guilty when he learns about the truth.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Harry will find out-definately. He will run through the gamut of emotions when that occurs. As will Severus, Lupin, and Hermione. Basically everyone will be affected by the revelation.

I know your/JKR's reasons for having the plot sending him back to the Dursleys, but it really is horrible when you see Snape's reaction you have created. Amazing that DD preaches his faith in love yet does not have faith in Snape's love for Harry and sacrifices it coldly for the usefulness of Severus the spy.RE: “Well, she committed suicide because she could no longer bear fucking me.” and As time passed, Severus began to wonder if he would ever know the love of a woman who wanted him more than anyone. Perhaps he wasn’t good enough or worth it. He grew to become even more sensitive about his lack of good looks and sank deeper into the image he believed Lily had felt about him... - So well written I was almost to the point of crying.You portray his on-going self-loathing well. This came to mind - Snape seems to cloak himself in misery, and wear a mask of hate and indifference. Stalking through life haunted and hounded because the love he craved was cruelly and selfishly denied. Once again thanks for your imagination and penmanship (Hmm...tapping) and I am keen for the next installment.Cheers.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Thank you for your compliments. I agree about Dumbledore. It goes along with all JKR revealed about him in DH. He is a fallible and at times hypocritical person at times. In later chapters there will be a confrontation between Dumbledore and Severus. Severus will not forget how Harry was taken from him and the resentment will continue to build.I like what you wrote. It is so true. I'm interested in seeing what you will think about the things Snape does in later chapters while in this frame of mind.Thanks for reviewing!

Severus is making a huge mistake. He could show his true feelings for Harry, but i also understand why.Great Job!

His fear of being rejected by Harry as he feels Lily rejected him is too much for him to bear. But one day, he will have to face it, because Harry will find out.
