Sweet, and so very caring. I was wondering whether Snape was real or not for quite some time, and was very happy to have it confirmed that he was real, so Harry could have a true relationship. Interesting watching him go along with Harry, even as he knew Harry did not think he was real. All the reasons for hiding he told Harry were utterly sound... I do have to wonder how much longer they would have to wait for things to die down, so he may come out and not be so very much at risk. So glad that Minerva quickly figured out that Harry and Severus may have reasons to speak to each other, even if it took her seeing them together to know that there was so much more between them. Lovely story!
