I enjoyed reading this story. Severus, clever as always chose Harry as his partner (I'm guessing this was his master plan in wooing Harry). Rather sad actually, he was not likely to confess. Severus would have silently loved Harry, for as long as it took.
he was far less likely to die if he was under Snape-watch.
This was my favorite line. Now Snape-watch is going to be 24/7.
