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.

I'm glad Harry made the effort to find out what happened with an open mind. You're doing a good job with reconciling Harry and Severus. Both have had a hard life, they deserve to have family that loves them. Look forward to your next update. Great job!

Thanks! It is so difficult when you're dealing with two people who have been at odds for so long. With Snape's personality mixed in, it took some time to get it the way I liked it.Thanks!

Oh, this is heart-wrenching! How am I supposed to work after reading this!

very interesting indeed! and then a very touching scene between Harry and Severus. Well done!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I'm glad it came across as realistic. I really struggled with how to get that final step where they embrace and Harry accepts Snape. But I'm glad it worked out all right!Thanks!

The set up of that horribly restrictive society is horrid, but the fact that Lily gave into it, that is the tragic thing. And she messed up so many lives. I can understand her reasoning, but it was supremely faulty.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Her grief and fear overrid her reason. But to her credit. She knew that her being marked for death would never have ended. She would have ended up the next thirteen years or so a virtual prisoner at Hogwarts. Because she would have been killed and she didn't want Harry to grow up with that hanging over all their heads.Very sad.

So Lucius did know, now if Snape can move on... Great chapter!

Yes, Lily, being married to James knew all about his family history and hanging out with Sirius as well, she had heard it all about the rules and traditions, social staus and the like. Snape, being a half-blood isn't even aware of all the nuances of being born into the pure-blood world. Terrible thing. But now things will start to get better.Thanks!

Awww, this was so beautiful, it left me in tears. Sorry I haven't reviewed much before now. I am enjoying your story and am glad to see a sensitive portrayal of Snape. Nicely done.

interesting insights from lucius's point of view. and then there it is - the moment i was waiting for. :D maybe now severus will be able to move forward in his life.

Aw. They can heal each other, then move on to new, healthier relationships.

Wahhh! That was so touching! Finally he sees a reason other than the one that seemed so obvious. Hopefully he can finally heal. At least Harry will be there to help him, right?
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
They have a lot of talking to do and they will take two steps forward one step back, especially when Snape's feelings about Hermione are thrown into the mix.Thanks for reviewing!

wow. i liked houw you used everyone's perspective in giving harry what he needed to know - but to have to go to lucius? that is almost creepy - and why would he tell harry the truth? i hope harry can eventually forgive seerus and pull him out of his funk.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Lucius has a very unique perspective, and Harry is not there to ask him about the relationship between his mum and Severus. He's there to specifically ask about the night Severus went to his house-the night Lily committed suicide. Harry believes now, after talking with Dumbledore that there was something said that night that caused Lily to kill herself, so he's wanting to know about how Severus acted that night. He's coming to ask very pointed questions, but Harry will get more than he expected from Lucius and it will shock him. I hope you like the chapter!Thanks!

Interesting insights from the others around at the time. Nice to see Harry listening.

Yes, Harry is going to start taking charge of his life now.Thanks!

Malfoy? What would he know? Anyway, nice bit of detective work on Harry's part. It was interesting to see Minerva's memories. She was one that we really didn't know much about in regards to her relationship with Lily. Maybe Harry should dig up the resurrection stone and simply ask his mum what the heck she was thinking.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
LOL! That would be cool. You'd be surprised at what Malfoy knows. Next chapter is going to be big.Thanks!

That was so sad. I'm glad people are answering Harry's questions, but I really think that Lily caused so much damage, I don't know that anything can be recovered.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
You can be amazed by what the truth can bring about. Next chapter is going to be big. Hang in there :)

Wow. It's so sad to see what Lily had done to him. He finds himself repulsive and unloveable and can't trust anyone. I have hope that he will somehow overcome that. The poor man is right, how can he trust that anyone loves him?
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
It's going to be hard, but he will realize somethings that will help him to get on with life.

That went better than it could have, I think. At the end, I was ready to scream and sob along with Severus.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
THere's a lot of that going around, but things have to be faced and not ignored anymore. THe war is over and its time to start over.Thanks!

Oh, this whole chapter was so sad, except for the end. Thank you for the little glimmer of hope from Ginny.

You're welcome. Even as cruel as I with the angst can't have left Snape out there in the cold with no hope!Thanks!

Oh, a new chapter, great! And Harry is doing the right thing, finally...
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Next chapter is going to be the big one we've all been waiting for-at least where Snape and Harry are concerned. Got to get them sorted before I let Snape have sex with Hermione :)Thanks.

OMG, now this is an awesome chapter. Oh, I can't wait to see what Lucius has to say to Harry, I'm just bet the next chapter is a boozy, if it has Lucius and Harry interacting. Great chapter as always.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Thanks! Lucius will have the boomshell of all time and Harry won't be doing a lot of talking, he'll be way too freaked out to say much, except when he goes straight from Malfoy's to Snape's :)Thanks!

i am once again intrigued. it was heart-breaking to hear some of these things rehashed, but good for harry to find out that severus really did love him. hopefully there will be more answers in the next chapter.
